ent conflict may be copper-skinned
soldiers, sailors or marines. For
more than 1900 Indians heard the
call to arms in 1917 and among
them was ODDS N. Leader, a Choc-
taw, who was foreman of a cattle
ranch in Oklahoma. It is an ironical
fact that, soon after we declared
war on Germany, this First Amer
lean" was the victim of rumors that
he was a German spy! To prove
his loyalty, he gave up his business
and enlisted. He saw action at Can
tigny, at scissors, at St. Mihiel and
in the Argonne. He was twice
wounded and gassed and when the
French government sought mod
ell American soldier" of whom an
oil painting was to be made to hang
on the walls of the French federal
building, where types of all the Al
lied races were to be represented,
Sergt. ODDS N. Leader was chosen
for that honor!
Other Indians who received the
Croix de Guerre included Sergt.
James M. Gordon, Chippewa, who
braved shell fire to rescue wound
ed French officer; Chester Arm
strong Fourbear, a Sioux, cited for
his bravery as messenger at Belli-
court; John M. Harper, Ute; Mar
ty Beaver, a Creek; Bert Hayman,
a Seneca-Modoc; Gus Gertiez, a
Pueblo bugler; Joseph Oglohombi,
a Choctaw; and Corp. Nicholas E.
Brown, another Choctaw, who was
killed in action and received the
award posthumously.
Winners of DISC and Croix de Guerre
Among those who received the
Distinguished Service Cross of their
own United States, as well as the
Croix de Guerre of France, were
Joe Schenderleon, a Crow and Ma
Hiv-A-Ta, a Hopi; and Thomas D.
Saunders, scion of the most for
midable fighters the United States
army ever encountered in the days
of the old frontier-the Cheyennes.
Here is his record, as given in Gen.
eral Orders of the Second division:
Corporal Thomas D. Saunders,
Company A, Second engineers, while
a member of the first wire cutting
platoon, made his way forward in
advance of the unit until he was in
line with and in company with Pri-
vate Wilkerson, Company B, Second
engineers, were the first soldiers to
enter Jaulny, then infested with
snipers, and swept with wicked ma
chine gunfire, being occupied by
rearguard detachments of the en-
envy. They alone captured 60 Ger
man prisoners after searching the
caves of a hospital with persistence
and courage. This at Jaulny,
France, on September -, 1918.
Corporal Thomas D. Saunders,
Company A, Second engineers; at
St. Etienne-a-Armes, on October 8,
1918, he bravely conducted a patrol
under heavy fire. During the night,
he made reconnaissance close to
the enemy, of the position which his
section was to occupy in the front,
and returning, conducted it to that
position

zens" who might be drafted under
the Selective Service act.
The case was taken under advise
ment by the judges who heard the
arguments. That was late in Octo-
Der, 1941. Then came Pearl Har-
Dor. After that fateful day, nothing
more was heard of the case. The
tribesmen of the Six Nations may
have regarded themselves as men,
bers of an independent, uncon-
quered nation" living within the
United States but they were Amer
leans first, as well as First Amer
leans"
In that respect they were like
the majority of the red men who
had not waited for Pearl Harbor
to join up to fight for their coun-
try. Even before the Japs' at
tack on Hawaii it was estimated
that one out of every ten eligible
Indians between the ages of Fl
and IS were already serving in
the armed forces.
Descendants of Noted Chiefs.
Among them were descendants of
many famous Indian leader whose
name has come down in history be-
cause he was a patriot who rallied
his warriors to defend their lands
against the entertainments of the
white men. One of the greatest of
these was Tecumseh of the Shaw

He might well be!
When that American soldier was

Gilt frames can be cleaned by
dipping a soft cloth in milk and
rubbing gently over the soiled
spots. Repeat several times if
necessary.
So that they will not appear
spotted, iron standings and pom

Never, never put electrical ap-
pliances into water to clean them.
A damp cloth and mild abrasive
are sufficient in most cases. Guard
wires against dampness.

way.
Interesting, too, is the fact
that the Thinkers, father and
son, were North American In
dams and, at the time of his
death, General Tinker was
called "the greatest Indian
fighter in the present war;" But
although they are outstanding
examples of the fighting red
man." modern version, they are
only two of an estimated II 900
Indians in the armed forces of
the United States and most of
them didn't wait to be drafted
for service but enlisted volun-
tarily.
Taken by itself, that number does
not seem large. But in proportion
to the total number of native
Americans" in the United States to-
day, it is more imposing record.
If an equal proportion of white men
had likewise voluntarily enlisted we
would have an army of nearly four
million volunteers in addition to the
millions who are in the army
through selective service.
Incidentally, an interesting situa-
ton in regard to the enrolment of
Indians in Uncle Sans service arose
soon after the Selective Service act
of 1910 was passed. Into federal
court in New York city one autumn
day in 1941 marched five brilliantly
dressed Indians to watch a white
man fight for their rights according
to the white mans rules. They
were descendants of the warriors
who, away back in 1874, made a
treaty with the United States by
which the young and struggling fed
eral government recognized the Iro-
quois Indian Confederacy as a SOW
ereign and independent nation.
Independent, UncOnquered Nation
They had come into court to main
tain by legal means their identity as
members of that confederacy which,
as ian independent, unconquered ma
tion," was subject only to its own
lawmakers and not to the congress
of the United States. On the rec
ords of the court the case appears
as a writ of habeas corpus for one

old Onondaga Indian, who had been
drafted into military service the pre-

particular objection to entering the
army-as a matter of fact a num-

was being used as a test case to

White counsel for the Indians ar
gued that the Iroquois Confederacy
had been treated as a foreign ma
ton until 1924 when a law was
passed comforting United States cit
izenship on Indians. No such law,
he commended, could apply to men,
bers of the Six Nations without their
consent. On this premise he argued
that the law was unconstitutional
