dances inside an old ramshackle
pavilion on the grounds. Usually
they danced outside around a huge
fire. which not only gave more
room for spectators. but was easier
on the dancers feet. That hall
wasn't very hig. but long before
any Of the dancers appeared II was
filled TO overlooking with just
about as many white people as
Indians. II was late when the
tom-toms started their rhythmic
beat. lit was the signal for the
dancers. and two of them entered,
dressed in all their feathers and
brilliantly-colored clothes, with
their faces painted.
That dance that night was one
of the real disappointments of our
trip. Here we had expected a
huge pow-wow such as we had
been told about, with several hun
bred Indians and q score of
dancers. There were even pro-
grams printed with a long list of
events that were to take place, to
be climaxed each night by q big
dance. These two dancers who
came on first were good and we
were mildly thrilled until we
learned that one OF them was a
white man from the East and the
other was only a quarter-blood In
dian. II turned out that the white
man was much the best dancer
there, for the few that followed
were young bucks of the present
generation who did more of an
imitation of a present-dsy Utter
bug than an Indian dance.
We did some inquiring and
learned that Indian dancing was
almost thing of the past. That
is, the real ceremonial dances.
There are many Indian dancers
scattered about the country and a
few are authentic, but for the most
part the dance is becoming one OF
the things they can sell, and 1t
is losing its meaning. Here at Fort
Yates, the younger Indians watched
with the same interest we did. To
them, as to us, it was something
unusual that was interesting to
watch. It had no more meaning to
them than to us.
Firecrackers More Important
The small children were much
more interested in shooting fire
crackers under the spectators feet
than the dance. Most were more
interested in the brilliant costumes
than in the subtle meaning Of the
various dances. Only the very old
squaws seemed to be genuinely
appreciative of the singing and
dancing. They sat placidly around
the hall, putting constantly on self
rolled cigarets or pipes. and had
little TO say. But their dark eyes
sparkled as their minds interpreted
the gyrations of the dancers. And
when 1t was time for the women
to take the floor. these old women
were always the first to answer
the call of the tom-toms.
The pay-off came late in the
evening when there was a dancing
contest for the younger women of
| the tribe. There were few entrants,
but most Of the girls tried hard.
We don't believe the dance was
supposed to have much meaning,
for no two danced alike, but for
/ the most part they did stick TO

For the first time we came right
out and asked our hostess IL we
could buy a breakfast so that we
wouldn't have the trouble of again
breaking out our own equipment
and cooking over a campfire. This
she very graeiously permitted US
TO do and then just as graciously
charged US a dollar for it. We
couldn't help but feel that II really
should have been the other way
around. We would certainly have
TO be paid more than a dollar to
spend another such night.
But, at least. it permitted us TO
get an early start. 1t was fortu-
nate we did. too. for both Of US
were done in and the paddles felt
heavy from the start. Our desti-
nation was Fort Yates, Standing
Rock Indian agency. and it was a
run of only 80 miles. Ordinarily,
such distance would be just a
jaunt for us, but today. even with
favorable weather conditions. 1t
was nearly three o'clock before we
came in sight Of the little town
high up on the right bank of the
valley.
What with the lack of sleep the
night before. and no lunch at noon,
we were tired and hungry when
we finally pulled around a long
sand bar and came In to a landing.
Typical Agency Town
We knew that Frank Fiske. an
old-time river pilot, had been
watching for US for some days,
but he had given us up. The report
had gone out the day before that
we had passed the fort. After
lunch at a surprisingly modern
little cafe, we found Fiske in his
little home that housed both his
photography studio and his news
paper. Arrangements were made
for us to stay in the basement OF
his mothers house. The hotel was
full and most of the agency en-
ployes were out of town or had
guests of their own.
Fort Yaty is a typical Indian
agency town, though somewhat
larger than most. The homes OF
the government employees are, as
In all the agencies, comfortable
modern and situated in the very
center of the little town.
Scattered around these are the
cabins of the Indians. with quite a
sprinkling of white people. Just
what kept most Of these people IN
Fort Yates, or just what they did
for a living, we were never able
10 find out to our satisfaction.
There are some saloons. of course,
but they give employment to only
few.
After getting our lug & ag e
Strengthened droliiio anu
and the canoe safely in the shade
of the underbrush, the Fiskes TOOK
us out to the fairgrounds, where
the Indians were having their big
Fourth of July pow-wow. That
had been one of the reasons Tor
our stopping at Fort Yates to
spend the Fourth. On that day
the Sioux on the reservation gather
there for the annual dances, and
never having witnessed real IN
dian dance. we were anxious to
see this one.
For some unknown reason the
Indians decided TO hold their

Suggests u. S.
Role inWar
British Woman
Urges Caring
For Victims

While declaring it was painful
for her. as an Englishwoman, to ap-
pear reluctant for the United States
to help Great Britain in the present
war, Miss Muriel Lester last night
urged this country not to help by
coming into the war or by selling
war implements or raw materials
for waging war"
Miss Lester, who is international
secretary of the Fellowship of
Reconciliation, addressed a large
audience in Barker Hall at the
Young Womens Christian Associa-
ton.
She urged, however, that the
United States assist in the construc-
tive rebuilding of Europe by sending
its best type Of citizens over now
to 'look after" those who have suf-
fered the consequences of war.
Think of the children who will be
haunted for the rest of their lives by
what they have seen," she declared,
urging that their welfare should be
OF prime concern to those anxious to
assist Europe.
She further suggested that the
President and the Secretary of State
continually offer-weekly If neces-
sary-and regardless of rebuff
some form of mediation which would
bring the war to a close. And she
urged that this country be repre-
sented at any conference table
which would be arranged to help
rebuild civilization.
The organization she represents
has thousands of affiliates in Europe
and elsewhere who will not help to
kill, learn to kill, or obey any wal
office order which has to do with
killing" in the belief that war set
ties nothing, she said.
1t is impossible to get rid o1
totalitarianism by war which necessi-
tates totalitarianism, she main
tanned.
She described as hypocritical rah
people who provide war materials
to a country for profit and then
despise that country for its use o1
the war materials.
