with the worlds whole trend toward
the organization of peace, all nations
are interested in naval economy.
1t is for this reason that the United
States is likely to propose here that the
age limits of all classes of ships may
be extended indefinitely without the loss
of the right Of each nation to replace
them 1T its own convenience. 1t is for
the same reason that the japanese in
tend to propose, in case any Signatory
to this treaty decides not to build up
to the treaty figures, to seek q spe-
cial and separate new limitation agree
ment with other signatories.
This means that while navies may
not be greatly reduced on paper In q
new treaty, they will be greatly weak
ened in fact by the device of delaying
both requirements and new tonnage.
The whole subject Of replacing bat
tleships, whether at actual or smaller
size, Is purely theoretical. No country
represented here is likely to feel able to
afforl any money for this purpose prior

The Trades Unionist, official organ of

point Gen. Crosby and pointing out the
political serfdon" Of the residents of
the District.
The Trades Unionist editorial fol-
lows:
The report in the public press that
President Hoover has decided to ap-
point Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby
as one Of the Commissioners OF this
city comes with shocking surprise to
those Of US who suffer the humilia-
ton of the deprivation of citizenship
as residents Of the District of Columbia.
When one considers the anomalous
situation of the government of the
District Of Columbia as the Capital City
OF o country, whose citizens can so
proudly and with such justifiable pride
point to the Declaration OF 1ndepend-
ence and our constitutional form of
government, 1t makes US residents hang
our heads in shame at the thought
of being such political serfs, that, after
o period Of more than so years, the
slight veStige which We have in our
Government is to be destroyed and the
intent Of the act Of 1878 Is to be multi
fed.
HeraIds Erroneous Impression.
cit also lieralds to the balance of the
country an erroneous impression Of our
lack of man power capable of creditably
filling with distinction these strictly
local government positions.
we have no criticism of the fitness
Of Mai Gen. Crosby for this important
position, but the principle involved
tranScends person. 1t is splitting hairs
to say that a man retiring from the
military branch of government becomes
in the true sense Of the term a civilian
and qualified to come within the pur-
view Of the act of 1873.
THE military branch of our Gov
eminent should be kept separate and
the barrier between should not be re-
firmation Of Mai. Gen. Crosby would
be the establishment of a precedent
that might lead, to extreme danger
even though 1t presumably affects only
us voteless Washingtonians. Militarism
conveys thoughts of war and all its alb
horTent features and when injected into
civilian life takes on the spirit Of the
martial
1T is not with contumelous thought
that we thus criticize the appointment
but Eternal vigilance is the price OF
liberty and organized labor of the Dis
trict OF Columbia with all its power
vehemently joins with all other oppO-
nents against the confirmation of Mai
Gen. Herbert B. Crosby as one of the

Uncle Sam Planning to

like hopeless task, yet which is
merely a question of ratios, provid-

Uncle Sam wants to know what
the water fowl population of the
country is. To find out, 5000 ducks
will be banded and hunters every
where are to be requested to report
any ducks killed bearing the bands.
If, for instance, 600 banded ducks
were reported killed and at the same
time 100000 other ducks were re-
ported bagged by hunters for the
year, 1t would mean that there are
100000 ducks in the country. By
a careful check-up each year it will
be possible to obtain fairly accur-
ate estimate after each season of
just what the duck population is.
The same would hold true for
other migratory water fowl.-Ex-

more seriously than he did his laws,
and that he kept both of them just
behind him to use when they
might do him good in his dealings with
strangers. These were not our ways.
We kept the laws we made and lived
our religion. We have never been
able to understand the white man, who
fools nobody but himself. :.
Now, too late, we know that the white
man is not wise. He is smart, not
wise, and fools only himself"
To read Plenty Coups' story is to
realize that he deserves the character
ization of "great American" by what
ever standards, either white or red,
he may be judged. A part of his
greatness lies in the adjustment he
made between his people and ours, in
his patience his diplomacy and his
frmness which saved the Grows from
the tragic fate which overlook other
Indian tribes. OF them he says: 1--WE
saw that those who made war against
the white man always failed in the
end and lost their lands. Look at
the Striped-F eathered-Arrows (Chey-
ennes). Most of them are living
where they hate the ground that
holds their lodges They cannot look
at the mountains as can, or drink
good water as I do, every day. In
stead of making a treaty with the
white man and by it holding their
country which they loved, they fought.
Ali how those warriors fought! And
lost all, taking whatever the white
man would give. And when the hearts
of the givers are filed with hate their
gifts are small.
'The Cheyennes and the Sioux, who
Jared a little better, have always been
our enemies, but am sorry for them
today. I have fought hard against
them in war, with the white men more
than once, and eften with my own
tribe before the white men came. But
when 1 fought with the white man
against them it was not because I
loved him or because I hated the
Sioux or Cheyennes, but because I
saw this was the only way we could
keep our land-and it was my dream
that taught us the way"
Although Plenty Coups talked freely
about his early life, even to the in
innate details of his dreams and all
the other elements which make up the
mysticism of the Indiana rare oc-
currence for the red man to bare his
soul to the white man-his book tells
little of his life after the passing of
the buffalo. The descent into poverty
and dependence upon the white mans
bounty broke his spirit. "When the
buffalo went away the hearts of my
people fell to the ground and they
could not lift them up again." he says.
after this nothing happened. There
was little singing anywhere And
those mournful words are fitting
requiem for the whole race of rel
men.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1930-09-12

So profiting by the example and the
instructions of his elders, Plenty
Coups' boyhood was spent in the kind
of play which was the beginning of
his education in physical development,
in plains and wood craft and in strict
self-discipline of body and mind. He
and the other boys played at making
war, and with great eagerness he
looked forward to the day when he
might go out on the first war party
and have the chance for that distinc-
ton so much desired by all prospec-
tive understanding coups. This
might be accomplished in one of sew
eral ways. He might strike an enemy
with his coup stick, bow or quirt, be-
fore otherwise attacking him, or take
his weapon while he was still alive.
He might count coups by striking sim
ilarly the first Of the enemy's dead or
his breastworks under fire or by steal
ing horses from the village Of an en-
envy. Unlike the white mans idea it
was not so much an honor to be
wounded in action. When a warrior
who had been wounded donned an
eagle feather to commemorate the
event. he must stain it red, and such
a feather was esteemed less highly
than one which bore the distinctive
markings showing how coup was
counted.
Plenty Coups' young manhood was
filled with innumerable skirmishes be-
tween the Crows and their traditional
enemies, the Sioux, the Cheyennes, the
Arapahoes and the Blackfeet. His
first real contact with the white men
came when he enlisted as scout with
General Crook and served vigorously
with that officer in the great battle
with the Sioux on the Rosebud. For
Americans with their traditional love
of good craftsmanship" there is an
interesting example in Plenty Coups'
attitude towards his enemies. In near
ly every case in which he tells of a
foeman whom he fought and killed,
he ends the story by adding gravely,
Gle was good man, that Sioux, and
q brave warrior"
But the opinions Of the white man
expressed by this old warrior is not
such comfortable reading for those
who fondly believe that the white race
is superior to all others. But is good,
perhaps, for the exaggerated self-es-
teen Of the "conquering white" to
read these words of Plenty Coups and
reflect upon them with an honest
mind: "They spoke very loudly when
they said their laws were made for
everybody; but we soon learned that
although they expected us to keep
them, they thought nothing Of break
Ing them themselves (Their
priests) said we might have their re-
ligion, but when we tried to under
stand it, we found that there were too
many kinds this bothered us
a good deal until we saw that the white
man did not take his religion any
