*j i Your Patronage
tjl Solicited
SATURDAY EVENING,
two months ago, resigning as vice
preslclent and general counsel of the
New York State Railways and Mo
hawk Valley Company, to devote
himself to Knights of Columbus re
creation work among Uncle Sam's
fighting forces. He is a resident of
Utica, N. Y.. and New York City.
Enroute to France he stopped in
England, where such well-known
English Catholics as Edward Eyre,
head of the Catenlan Society; his
son-in-law. Lord Campden, and E.
Vincent Wareing, of the Catholic
Encyclopedia, expressed themselves
as being greatly interested in this
Catholic social work.
"Our work abroad will probably
exceed that which we are doing for
the soldiers and sailors in this coun
try," says Col. P. IT. Callahan, chair
man of the Knights of Columbus
Committee on War Activities, "for
it stands to reason that once the
American soldiers are placed on for
eign soil, there will be more need
to surround them with proper re
creational, social and religious fa
cilities. Our budget of expenditures
for the current year in this country
will be considerably more than $ 1,-
000,000 and it Is bound to be much
higher in Europe. However, we ex
pect to see our foreign work through
to completion and will not stop at
expenses."
Eight Knights of Columbus chap
lains are now serving in France and
this number will be greatly in
creased. Knights of Columbus re
creation buildings will be erected
wherever they are needed for the
convenience of the American troops
abroad, and the work done on
Frehcli soil will in every respect du
plicate that which Is being accom
plished under the auspices of the
Knights of Columbus in the encamp
ments and cantonments of the Unit
ed States.
Twenty-Nine Lieutenants
Ordered Abroad
Camp Meade, Admiral, Md., Dec.
12.—During the four months that
the Maryland cantonment has been
"open for business" a score or more
of young lieutenants of the reserve,
who were assigned to the Quarter-!
master's Corps, found themselves i
without much to occupy their minds |
andl they complained about the lack
of employment. The result:
Today twenty-nine of them were
ordered to report to a point for em
barkation for service in the motor
truck corps in France. They thought
it would bo possible for them to
spent Christmas at home. lustead
they have gone from here and os
tensibly for service "over there." It
is said that iifty more young lieu
tenants, who received their commis
sions after the training at Fort Niag
ara last summer, will soon leave for
a point in the southern part of the
United States for additional training.

PUT RED INDIANS
IN WAR WITH THE
AMERICAN COLORS
Their Status Almost Like
Enemy Aliens, Says For-
Head
Canadian Indians, outnumbered
three to one by the Indian popula
tion in the United States, are enlistr
ed and are now fighting for their
motner country in vastly greater
numbers than characterize the par
ticipation of our own Red Hen in
this, their country's greatest war and
most perilous time.
It is a striking fact that while we
have cajoled and experimented with
our Indians, made them the foot
ball of politics, sapped much of their
manhood and vitality by enforced
reservation isolation, and at the same
time spent hundreds of millions of
dollars in Congressional appropria
tions for their care and mainte
nance. the Canadian government,
with a very small fraction of this
expenditure, but with the saving
grace of more common sense and
humanity in its dealings with the
Indians, has obtained far better re
sults. Canada's handling of her In
dians has been marked by an ab
sence of petty politics, chicanery, in
sincerity or gross incompetence. Its
determining factor has always been
good faith.
Canadian Indians Are Fighting
While to-day the Indians north of
our national boundary, without urg
ing or the exercise of compulsion,
are fighting in large numbers side
by side with their paleface brothers,
there has been only a small and
tardy response from our nation's
wards, and while we have had Indian
uprisings and wars and much dis
content among them, even with the
recent registration for the selective
draft, the Dominion government has
had virtually no strife, but. to the
contrary, very amicable relations
with its Indians.
Xo large section of people In our
land can live clannislily to them
selves and prosper. This is a suc
cessful democracy. Social contact,
educational affiliation and business
relations are indispensahte in our
local and national life and make for
individual happiness and community
welfare. The time is rapidly ap
proaching when the more isolated,
unalloted, detached reservation In
dians must associate with their
neighbors on terms of friendship.
They must either cultivate and
utilize their tremendous land-hold
ings or give way to the more aggres
sive white lan to do it in their
stead. Whether this defjenerates
into a system of leasing or Congress
opens up the land to public entry, the
final result is ultimately the same.
The economic pressure in the West
is such that large tracts of cultlva
table land lying idle or great unused
stretches of good cattle and sheep
range are an anomaly.
White Man Taking Ivand
The white man is pressing in on
all sides. The eastern and central
states have sent thousands of home
steaders to the great range states of
the West (where the Indians hold
lfirge areas in common) this last year
%mi the human stream is continuing.
A study of conditions, observation
on the ground and conversation with
many representative men of affairs,
farmers and stockmen in this and
neighboring states lead to the con
clusion that the Indians must speed
ily utilize this land to the best pos
sible productive advantage or the
white man, by virtue of votes and
pressure on his representative in
Congress, v.'lll gradually accomplish
the opening of these lands to settle
ment. This has been the unhappy
but inevitable history of every brok
en up Indian reservation. Oklahoma
is tvpical of the onward, irresistiblfe
march of the white man and the
ontemptuous forcing aside of the
Indians when they blocked the
passage.
The Indians must inevitably come
out In the open, and the restrictions
on their freedom of life and move
ment and the encumbrances on their
property will gradually disappear,
consistent with their progress and
protection. I mention thts economic
trend because it has a definite rela
tion to the war and the Indians' fu
ture development.
America Must Continue
Tha Indian may or may not large
ly enter into this war. but America
must continue it to a victorious con
clusion. Once in it we must either
win or lose. In a matter of this kind
there can be no half-way measure.
We must conquer or be conquered.
Not to win would imperil our na
tional entity, freedom of movement,
prosperity and happiness as a peo
ple.
The white man in America has re
sponded through voluntary enlist
ment and the selective draft; before
another year has passed two out of
every hundred will be with the col
ors. The negro has done likewise;
SO,OOO have been taken in the se
lective draft alone and thousands
were already in the Regular Army
and Navy.
But as a race of supposedly de
pendent people, administratively
known as incompetents, that is, In
dians without the right to hold a
patent in fee for their land or title
to their property and hence without
the right to vote, thousands of the
red men of this land are placed ill
the same relation to tnis war as
enemy aliens. It puts the Indians
sn a bad light.
If our national welfare and indi
vidual prosperity depend on the suc
cessful issue of this war and if all
other constituent elements of our
■lopuUition are doing their share,
why is It that the Indians. America's
irat inhabitants, are not in its on a
>)asls of equality and proportionate
representation?
Out of an Indian population <n
100,000 it is estimated that the Ca
nadian Indians have about 5,000
nren with the British colors. Yirtu
iliy all of them are at the front in
France. The great Iroquois and Al
onquin nations, long hereditary
-neniies, are there fighting without
filial distinction. The old animus
hait been changed into friendship.
There is not an official announce
nent of casualties of Canadian
roops that does not contain its quota
af Indians who fell on the tield ot
honor with their paleface brothers.
Were Excludes
In Ca*da, too, the Indians were
for a vvWle excluded from the mili
ary forces by official decree; but
they made such a manly protest
(.gainst the unfair segregation -that
hey were finally admitted into the
irmy as partners in the struggle—
o-equal with the Canadian English
and French. There are many entire
' anadian Indian regiments lighting
nobly for the allied cause.
DOJS any one suppose that if the
Indian tribes of the United States
aade similar protest and evinced
qual* zeal to take part as a race
hat Congress and the War Depart
ed and the states In which they
iVe would turn them down? Has
his thing been properly presented to
them? lias their patriotism been
shown that they occupy an unen-
1 ' ■ —'
HAHjRISBURG TELEGRAPH
viable position in this isolation and
detachment from a great national
struggle in which the welfare of all
hangs In the balance? Have they
been made to see that a losing fight
for their Government is their loss
also?
It is true, and very gratifying. In
deed, that some of the funds of in
competent Indians have been Invest-1
ed in Liberty Bonds; but this Is
largely a matter of administrative
decision by the Interior Department.
It is also true that many Individ
ual Indians who were educated in
such schools as Carlisle or elsewhere,
or individual Indians who have
learned to do independent thinking
with the capacity to act accordingly,
have enlisted in the Federal Army
or have joined the Navy. All praise
be to them. They give evidence of
clear thinking and true patriotism.
Besides, as I shall show later, they
are certainly far-sighted. But, un
fortunately, this Is only a scattered
representation, comparatively small
in the aggregate. ■ If Canada with
her hundred thousand Indians has
5 000 troops at the front in a volun
tary effort, it Is clear that the
United States with an Indian popu
lation three times as large should
have a larger—not a smaller —repre-
sentation.
Indian Is Courageous
The American Indian of history is
romantic, courageous, robust, loving
freedom, unafraid. AVhat a chance
to vindicate and make permanent
that record! What an opportunity
to come into his own! If the Indians
rise to the occasion and do their
part in this historical conflict ef
fectively, the close or the war will see
their status and condition vastly Im
proved. A grateful Government and
people will not then withhold from
them their rights as free men un
der the Constitution.
The military experience, drill, dis
cipline, travel, association with men
of another race on terms of equality
will improve them physically, men
tally and morally. Their outlook
will be broadened, their understand
ing of their paleface brother clari
fied, their knowledge of the world
wonderfully improved.
I believe a campaign of education
in every tribe, a placing of the is
sue in "all Its relationships before
every Indian, a serious and Intelligent
campaign, like that for the sale of
Liberty Bonds, will bring a happy
response from the Indians. Moses
Friedman, formerly superintendent

Ledger.
Draft Workers
Paid at Rate
Of $1 An Hour
Washington, Dec. 14.—Members
of exemption boards in the District
will be paid $1 per hour for each
sixty minutes of service spent in ful
filling their duties at headquarters,
such compensation not to exceed
$7.50 per day. or $l5O per month.
| according to a new regulation of the
Provost Marshal General which will
be effective when examinations of
new conscripts begins again.
While it was generally supposed
that the members of the local ex
emption boards were giving their
services gratuitously to the govern
ment, many have, as the new order
reveals, been entitled to and have
been receiving $4 per' day for each
day of attendance upon sessions of
the board.
Text of Order%
No restriction is placed upon those
who desire to continue to give their
time to the government without com
pensation as a patriotic duty, and;
such service is expected If It does
not entail a financial hardship. The
new order says in part:
"There are citizens whose services
the country needs in this capacity
but who cannot without dispropor
tionate loss and hardship longer ab
sent themselves from their prlvato
business without compensation. The
services of these men cannot be
spared by the government at this
time. The rate of compensation is
prescribed to relieve this condition:
"Members of the District board
which reviews all exemption claims
may receive $1.25 per hour for ac
tual service, but not to exceed SlO
for any single day, or S2OO for any
single month. Examining physicians
not members of boards may receive
pay at the same rate as board mem
bers."
It is planned to start the new
classification of registered men by
the questionnaire system on De
cember 15 and the work of organz
ing free legal advisory boards, to
be located in all sections of the city,
Is now under way.
Every member of the bar is ex
pected to give his aid and services
freely to assist registrants in an

quired by the War Department.

JURY DEBATES,
PLOTTER FLEES
RUSSIAN MOB
Convicted, He Steps From
Gallows and Acts as Sec
retary of Meeting
retrograd, Nov. 25 (Correspondence
of The Associated Press).—The pro
vincial newspaper Prlasovsky Krai
publishes an amazing account of the
escape of a Russian military prisoner
who had been sentenced to be exe
cuted for selling military secrets to
Germany and plotting explosions in
two powder factories which caused
the death of 3,000 persons.
When a squad of soldiers and gov
ernment agents had assembled tn
watch the hangman do his work the
condemned man startled them by a
proposal that, instead of executing
him, they give him a vote of approv
al, In the debate which ensued the
executioner narrowly escaped hang
ing in the place of the prisoner. The
convicted man was elected as secre
tary of the meeting and escaped while
the vote whether to kill him or the
executioner was being taken. The
meeting then voted to sentence the
executioner to imprisonment for
failuro to do his duty.
Smiling contemptuously, the pris
oner was led !to the scaffold. When
the sentence had been read he raised
Ills hands and demanded to be heard.
No," objected the prosecuting at
torney. "It's too late now. You
should have spoken before, at the
trial."
Soldiers Join With Prisoner
One of the squad of soldiers
stepped out and said in a tone o
amazement:
"What? Why too late? Is not
speech free? Thank God, there's'no
czarist regime to keep our mouWis
closed. Speak, conrrade, speak!"
The condemned man began' "Com
rades! Do you know who has con
victed me?. A court constituted en
tirely of lower middle-class capital
ists, inspired by the imperialists of
the allied countries. The prosecutor,
as I know absolutely, was a mas
querading Kornilovist! Comrades!
Shall not democraoy itself speak?
Khali it not say, 'Hands oft the cre
ators and inspirers of the Interna
tionale'?
"Comrades! Can you possibly rec
ognize a decision of this counter-rev
olutionary, antidemocratic court as
binding on you?"
"Bravo!" shouted a guard. "Lot me
also speak!"
The condemned man yielded to the
guard, who began:
"Comrades, can anything be more
atrocious than for us to permit the
hanging of this man. who speaks as
an apostle and champion of the In
ternationale? Comrades, I propose a
vote of want of confidence in the ex
ecutioner."
"I demand the right to speak," said
the executioner.
"Comrades, I solemnly protest
against this universal condemnation
How Are You Using Your Motor Car?
As a Plaything as
If you treat it as a means of selfish pleasure you are about ten years
out of date—and utterly out of harmony with the spirit of the times.
The motor car's utility was recognized the minute it became a de
pendable machine.
The farmer found that it saved him both time and money, broad
ened his life and helped to keep hischildren at home.
The doctor found that it extended his practice, doubled his oppor
tunities for study and research, saved suffering and feven life in emer
gency cases, and gave him more time with his family.
The clergyman found it a wonderful factor in the development of
his parish work.
The city man found that it enabled him to own a farm and saved
him money iri the development of his country home.
His wife found her radius of action enlarged ten-fold. In every field
of usefulness she was infinitely more efficient than ever before.
Commuters found that it gave them a longer working day and
vastly more energy for it.
It became the accepted means of tourist travel and brought great
prosperity to all communities along the principal touring routes.
The Army, the Navy, the Department of Justice, the local Police in
every city, town and hamlet, found it indispensable and so its use in
creased and will continue to increase.
There are a thousand patrioticuses for your motor car. Don't play

you so abuse the opportunities it gives you.

of all executioners. I juat as
good a revolutionist" as any of you,
and if the revolutionary people have
imposed on me this sad duty, I am
bound by my conscience. I demand,
ctfmrades, that you pass a resolution
i confirming the lawfulness of my acts.
I I hope that you understand that it is
better to deprive one dangerous indi
vidual of his life rather than sacrifice
thousands of useful lives/'
i "I move to discontinue your speech,
Cpmrade Hangman," broke in the
condemned man.
"And by what right, Comrade Ex
ploder of Powder Magazines, do you
constitute yourself the chairman?"
replied the executioner vehemently.
"Chairman, chairman! Let's elect
a chairman," tame from several parts
of the audience. The election pro
ceeded fast. It took only half an
hour and the condemned man had the
office thrust upon , him of secretary
of the meeting. ... „
At this point an unfortunate di
vergence arose among three of the
soldiers' and workmen's delegates.
One of them, a Minimalist demanded
tile instant execution of the prisoner;
another, a Sociallst-Kevolutionary-
Internationalist, suggested getting
explanations from the government;
the third, a Maximalist, proposed
that they should release the prisoner
and in ills stead execute the execu
tioner as a servant and agent of the
coun ter-Ve volution.
The drummer got up to declaim
against the third suggestion, but
after his first sentence he began talk
ing, not to the point, but to demand
the transfer of all the land without
purchase •'.to the masses. A vote of
cloture was invoked to cut off his
speech.
A very eloquent speech followed by
the secretary of the garrison commit
tee, although it was not much to the
point. He said the revolutionary
government was now organized, that
there was no reason to fear German
spies or explosions at powder maga
zines, and therefore, in the name of
the garrison, he called for the dis
closure of all secret treaties.
t'uiideinncil Mnn Walk* Olt
The chairman here turned the dis
cussion to the actual subject, putting
two questions to vote—first, the fate
in store for the condemned prisoner;
second, the fate in store for the exe
cutioner.
The voting; -showed a two-thirds
majority in favor of executing the
sentence, whereupon the condemned
man expressed dissatisfaction as to
the accuracy of the voting and de
manded a formal division of the
house. Thus the matter was carried
to the prison courtyard and the yeas
and nays—were requested to line up
on oppos"e sides of the gates. The
result was still the same, for when
they looked around for the secre
tary, who was also the condemned
prisoner, he was nowhere to be seen.
It was explained that he had voted
by marclilng out at the gate and had
failed to return subsequently.
After some discussion the meeting
decided that the disappearance of the
prisoner had disposed of any neces
sity of further discussing question
No. 1. and that there remained be
fore the meeting only question two.
namely, the fate in store for the exe
cutioner.
This time the vote was unanimous,
and the following resolution was
passed: ,
"In consequence of the fact that
the revolutionary people on February
28 to March 12 gained its freedom,
