lost many warriors, they finally with

Crossing the Badlands
The crossing OF the badlands
which was nearly bare OF vegetanen
was a hazardous undertaking. For
two days we toiled up and down among
the clap peaks, barren as rocks and
precipitous as mountain cliffs, suffer-
ing for water. with only half rations,
feeding our half-starved horses on the
limbs Of trees and bushes. Ny second
crossing OF the badlands, 50 years
later, was IN pullman sleeper. real

with supplies, after a few days rest
we crossed to the west bank OF the
river and resumed our march down
this stream TO the Missouri river,
which we crossed on the 18th and 18th

day Of September. just as word was
received from the Fisk train and Of
its dangerous predicament.
Many exciting and interesting In
cidents occurred during our trip Of
1000 miles
The Indians who attacked the Fisk
train were, in all probability, a por-

40 miles north OF the Fisk corral and

wagons. Many women and children
were among the emigrants, who were
greatly relieved at our approach. The

approached the rescued party. They
evidently disappeared as we advanced.
We reached Fort Rice on our return
on the second day Of October.

Philosopher of World 2 Renown, Henri Berqson,
 Passes Away, Frenth|and

VICHY, Jan. 6.-The Government announces that Henri Bergson, 81, foremost French philosopher, win ner of the 1928 Nobel literature prize, is dead in Paris as the result of pulmonary congestion.
 Henri Bergson was one of the great intellectual figures of his time and his philosophy brought new hope to those who saw humanity dragged down by material things.
 The thin. frail little philosopher, who hatt.ed the monster of mater ialism in crowded Paris classroom, tried to refute the thesis that mind is the key to all the universe. He brought intuition back into fashion and put it in charge of all that man has most cherished since the dawn of time-the belief in God and an after-life.
 Philosophy Popular
 Bergson was no attic philosopher. Gifted with strong personality and the power to put his theories into melOdious prose, he made his philosophy a popular topic of the first decade of the goth century.
 The very charm of Bergson's style and the beauty of his words eventually led to his undoing, for his opponents called him mot . philosopher but word magician" and the tremendous popularity he enjoyed and the contradicting types of his supporters helped to send him into an eclipse almost as dark as his popularity was brilliant
 Phrases, Passwords
 Bcrgson's phrases, in his heyday, became passwords for those who pretended to have any mental fur niture Perhaps the most popular of them was "elan vital" It be- came as current and as incOmprc- hcnsible to the general public at the beginning of the century as did "technocracy' many years later. It was discussed as fashionable tea tables and in anarchist clubs.
 Lectured in U. s.
 When Bergson appeared in the United States in 1913, his lectures at Harvard and Columbia shattered all attendance records Nearly POO books were written about him and his philosophy in America alone. He became one of President Will sons close friends and for time he was mentioned as probable Am bassador from France.

WASHINGTON-The most inn portant question discussed in inner Adrlinistraticn circles before the President made his recent defense speech was that of using American warships to convoy supplies across the Atlantic to Irish or British wat CTS. This question probably was in the Presidents mind also when he worte the speech
 The problem has been debated among some of Roosevelt's close ad- viscrs ever since British emissaries brought word that while England could withstand airplane lombard ment it could not withstand the con- tinued sinking of it's merchant ves- sels. The British also made it clear that more over-age U. s. destroyers would not do the trick, because the Royal Navy was running short of trained crews.
 So far, the President has shied away from any such drastic step as using American naval vessels to guard supply ships across the At lantic. Some of his advisers have leaned toward the idea, but Roose- welt has argued against it. He main- tains, first, that it would be in vio- lation of the Neutrality Act and could not be done without an act of Congress; second, that if an Am crican vessel were sunk it would mean war.
 Some of Rooseyelt's advisers con- tend that the last thing Hitler wants is to bring the United States into the war; that the effect on the German people twho remember how the United States tipped the scales in the last wap would be devastat- ing. However, the President hasn't fallen for the idea yet. though he is watching carefully the effect of his speech on public opinion.
 NOTE: One of the British einis- saries who put American entry into the war bluntly up to Roosevelt was the Duke of Windsor However. the President replied that he had given a firm pledge to the American peo-

Forced to lie for hours at time in a dark- ened room because of the extreme headaches from which he suffered, BergSon gave up nearly all his work His last significant book, written at the age of 73, was in itself tri- umph of will-poWer over acute physical suffering.
 Wins Early Successes
 AS a young man, BergSon quick ly rose to prominence. Born in Paris, of Anglo Jewish parents, on October 18, 1859, he received his primary and university education in the French capital. In his classes he won nearly every prize offered. and at P he became a professor Of philosophy.
 By 1907 Bergson already q taken his place among the world s intellectual leaders. Three books, The Immediate Data of Conci- ousness, Matter and Memory" and Creative Evolution had much to do with assuring his fame.
 The philosophers prominence reached its greatest heights in 1914 In that year he was elected to the French Academy. In that year also certain of his works were placed
