the canoes were paddld only during
darkness, with rests on the shore
during the daytime.
At last, came an exciting night
Passing around projecting piece OF
land, at about 10 o'clock, Champlain
and his companions caught sight OF
party of Iroquois!
Loud cries burst from both sides
and weapons were made ready, but
the actual fight did not start then
The IroqNois padded their canoes
ashore and began to cut down trees
They were building a barricade.
Two Chiefs Fall.
The start of the fighting did not
take place until morning. Then q
surprise came to the Iroquois. As
they came out of their barricade
they believed that they were well
guarded from arrows by a kind oil
armor made Of cotton and wood
which they wore. There were wild
cries by the warriors of both sides.
Suddenly, Champlain, having
loaded his arquebus with four balls
and having taken careful aim, fired
Two Iroquois chiefs fell to the
ground. Two other white men with
Champlain also fired and the Iro-
quois warriors turned and ned. Fol
the first time, they had learned
about the dreadful firearms of the
whites.
That was victory for Champlair
and the Algonquins, but 1t did q
great deal to block the French from
holding power over what is now
the United States. 1t made the
powerful Iroquois tribes their deadly
enemies. Later. after they had OBJ.

Have YOU had a dream?"

Have you had dream?"
This question, asked by an Indian
was addressed to a man of middle
age, a Frenchman by the name of
Champlain. This Frenchman was
one of the early explorers of our
continent.
Time and again, the question had
been put to Champlain, but he had
denied that he had had any dreams
The Indians-composing a small
Algonquin war party of so braves
had assembled the Richelieu River
and were now in the long, narrow
body of water destined to be called
Lake Champlain.
The redmen listened for Cham
plains reply and this time he said
Yes, I had dream last night
Eagerly, they listened as he con-
tinued:
Il saw our enemies, the Iroquois
in the lake. They were near the
mountainous shore, but they were
drowning within our sight. When
I wished to save them. my comrades
would not let me do so-they said
that We must let the Iroquois die.
Warriors Rejoice.
This rejoiced the warriors. They
said that it was a good omen anc
that the enemy surely would be
defeated.
So far, no 1roquois had been seen
but there was every probability tha
they would be found. This beautiful
lake had been the scene Of many

The Pool

By Borboro Stuekey, IS

Anacostio High School
I know a place where there's a poo
Quiet, calm and deep;
Around this pool. like sentinels,
The swaying willows weep.
Under the trees and over the HILL
Made by natures hand,
The softest carpet in all the earth,
Green moss, blankets the land.
Each day at dusk journey there,
And all is calm and still;
The birds are settled for the night
The sun sinks DER the hill.
For here, each day is my escape
At dusk beside the pool;
I drink of freedom in the stars,
The sky, the evenings cool.
! tell the trees of my success,
To them I.laugh and cry:
They nod their bough and bless
Me with a soothing sigh.

Citizens Conference
Holding Session on
Civil Rights Threats

The Presidents civil rights pro-
gram, Government loyalty inyesti-
cations and inquiries into suspected
subversive activities, as we'll sas the
state of academic freedom. came
under discussion today at one
day session called by the National
Citizens Conference on Civil Lib
critics.
Approximately 14o persons. includ-
ing representatives of nearly 40
church and other organizations, met
at the Hotel Washington to "ex-
anime the current threats to civil
liberties"
The conference heard Dr. Allan
Nevins of the Columbia University
department of history describe the
history of civil liberties. then split
into three sections for forum dis
cussions of three phases of the
questions.
Must Watch Methods.
Leading a discussion of govern
mental invasion Of civil liberties,
Allen Barth, Washington Post edi-
torial writer, declared it would be
"the height of folly" to put persons
with greater loyalty to the Com
munist cause than to their own
country in positions of trust in gov
ernment. He said, however, Amer
leans must concern themselves with
whether the methods being used for
the protection of our Government
are in fact sound methods or
whether they are of such nature
as in themselves to subvert the
real values of the American So
ciety."
The Governments loyalty inves-
! legations and the congressional in
vestigation of alleged subversive
activities have caused fear not only
among Government employees, but
among other citizens, forum partici-
pants declared.
One delegate said he had been
told by many women that they were
afraid to express their opposition
to universal military training be-
cause their husbands loyalty might
be questioned as a result.
Threat to Academic Freedom.
Prof. Alonzo F. Myers of New
York University, leading forum
on academic freedom. said this is
always jeopardized in periods OF
tension.
There is entirely too much fear
of the danger of exposing our peo-
pile, and especially our youth to
Communist propaganda" he said
There is entirely too little faith
in the intelligence and good judg-
ment of American college students. u
Prof. Robert Carr of Dartmouth
College, directed a discussion on
the Presidents recommendations
for civil rights legislation.
Clifford Durr of the Federal
Communications Commission was
scheduled to address the luncheon
session.

licited them or that he was aware
of any wrongdoing.

Judge Carroll G. Hincks said the Of
fense did not involve moral turp-
itude and that it was quite reason
able to believe the temper of the
times is not one of strict, punctil-
ious observance Of the mandates of
Congress"
