The REDSKINS ARE READY
Volunteering in hordes, our Indians making
unique place for themselves in the new U. S. Army
by 0Een Stephens
by 0reza Stephens

ping twenty-six of the eighty Indian
reservations throughout the United
States - found that for every six
teen Indians in the armed services,
fifteen had voluntarily enlisted. Only
one had waited for his number to
come up. At the Fort Peck Sioux
Assiniboin Reservation in northern
Montana about half of the men eligl-
BILE for service had already volun-
teered when the survey was made in
February.
Those eager warriors of Fort Peck,
incidentally, are the grandsons of the
men who fought in the Battle of the
Little Big Horn, which resulted in
the defeat and utter annihilation of
General George Custer and his Sew
enth Cavalry, in 1876.
The service of Indians in the Army
did not begin with the Selective Serv-
ice act. Since the beginning of our
history, some tribes have fought be-
side white American troops - often
against other tribes which were their
enemies. But the service of Indians
began on a large scale in the first
World War, when 1873 volunteered
- though they were not then citi-
zens. Nearly 5000 eventually reached
France. where they demonstrated
characteristic courage. Today's braves

largely of Oklahoma Indians, they
are familiar as the regimental motto.
Freely translated from the Choctaw
language, they mean, Ready, in

In fact they're more than just a
motto. They describe in a phrase
the patriotic spirit of the American
Indian. Recently the Office of Indian
Affairs of the U. S. Department of the
Interior discovered that proportion
ately more Indians are volunteering
for service in the nations armed forces
than any other racial group.
Since they are now full-fledged citi-

county's 361. 1856 Indians come under
the Selective Service act. Last Octo-
Der, on registration day, many of
them appeared before their draft
boards armed with hunting rifles and
knives, ready for immediate battle.
They had already said their farewells
to family and friends, and waited
only to be told where they might serve
best in national defense.
Most have not waited to be drafted.

Strange Roll Coll


WHEN a top kick of Battery E calls
the roll, he pronounces such surnames
as New Moon, Walking Sky. Little
Thunder, Whitehorn, Littlehoe, Quick
bear, Wahweotten, Shenandoah,
Whitewater and Gawhega. He calls
the name of Finn Burnett Ito use only
the spellable part of a much longer
name) who is a direct descendant of
Scagawea, the Shoshone squaw who
guided the Lewis and Clark Expedi-
ton through the unexplored wilderness
of the Northwest.
Are these modern Redskins" good
soldiers? Paleface Captain Francis E.
Morawetz, present commander of
Battery E and man who has lived
and worked with them for many years,
declares that the young Indians of
today possess all the noted character
istics of their race. They are brave,
resourceful, intelligent and loyal.
They have lost none of their fighting
ability - which our pioneering fore
fathers found plenty of reason to re-
spect. And, Captain Morawetz en-
phaszes, they adapt themselves easily
to modern weapons, being as much at
home now with trucks and howitzers
as their ancestors were with ponies
and bows and arrows.
And so throughout the land Indians
are responding with alacrity to the
call to arms. And thousands not in the
armed services are developing me-
chanical and technical skills useful to
national defense, serving as mechan-
les and apprentices in defense indus
tries, or studying in vocational train
ing schools.
The nations Indians are on the
warpath, in defense of the democracy
they have learned to love.

not even identify the unwritten Ian
guage, much less translate it.
The Army hasn't forgotten the sue
cess of that scheme. In Oklahoma,
thirty tribesmen have been selected
to form a special Signal Corps de-
tachment.
Indians also are valued, as in gen.
erations past, for their scouting abil-
ity. In most Western posts there are
Indian scouts who have been in the
Army, and in what were National
Guard units, for many years. They
possess an almost uncanny ability to
penetrate undetected into enemy ter
ritory. Witness the World War story
of the Indian soldier who attracted
the attention of his white comrades
by munChing apples, of which he
seemed to have a plentiful supply,
When they questioned him, he non-
chalantly replied: ME get 'em over
in Germany. German apples good
apples"
Adapt Themselves EosiIy
SOME tribes live today almost as
their great-grandfathers did. For ex-
ample, only five per cent of the 5000
registrants in the 25,000-square-mile
Navajo Indian Reservation in north
ern New Mexico and Arizona speak
English - and fewer write it.
Yet most tribesmen are fairly well
educated and have adopted the white
mans ways. In uniform they are
hardly distinguishable from their
white comrades. Even their manner
isms and Army "slanguage" soon be-
come the same.
Typical are the men of Battery E,
127th Field Artillery - a completely
mechanized all-Indian unit of the
35th Division, now training at Camp
Robinson, Arkansas - who repre-
sent twenty-six tribes, scattered from
New York to North Dakota, Wiscon-
sin to Oklahoma Half of the III men
are graduates of Haskell Institute,
government school for Indians at
Lawrence, Kansas, where they were
members of Troop l, Hath Cavalry.
Kansas National Guard. At the time
of mobilization. they hastily returned
and volunteered. The other half were
students there when the call to the
colors came.
Colonel Paul A. Cannaday, now
commander of the l27th, organized
the troop seventeen years ago. Since
the men were natural cavalrymen,
the troop was selected year after year
as the best drilled and best-discl-
plined in the state. A colorful outfit,
they have given exhibition drills
throughout the country, and were at
the New York Worlds Fair in 1889.
Now mechanization has forced them
out of the saddle and placed them at
the sending end of 155-MM motor
drawn howitzers, where they have
shown equal proficiency.

The largest hall in the City of Dayton has been rented
for the occasion to accommodate what is expected to be the
largest meeting ever held in this community. Indications
point to a record-breaking attendance as feeling in the
plant runs high and the desire to fight for economic con-
cessions keeps Stewards running to the UE Hall all day
during the week reporting the rank and file wants action
to call a halt to the Corporations stal1ing.
Delco workers are in good shape for such a battle. The
men are better than 900 organized. The women who until
a few weeks ago were only 2O% suddenly spurted forth and
are hocking into the Union to take their place beside the
men in the fight for the general increase.
The meeting will be open to paid-up members only.
AL members will be asked to show their books. :

Saturday afternoon with representatives of all Dayton Local
Committees reiterated its position. It released a press state
