Who are the American Indians?
When did they come to America? How
did they come? They certainly are
not the lost tribes of Israel, nor are
they people who came to America by
way of the Behring Straits, as some
writers assert. There are no proofs
given for such assertions. The people
called Indians are hundreds of nations
and tribes all speaking different lan-
guages. They came to America thou-
sands of years ago as this paper will
show with proofs taken principally
from the Holy Bible. Our first parents
came from the hands of God. They
were given free will,'memory and un-
derstanding for their own good and
for all those who were to come after
them. They, however, forgot God’s
kindness to them and did just what he
told them not to do. Their descend-
ants continued doing wrong and got
so wicked that God determined to de-
stroy them all excepting only the Pa-
triarch Noah and his family, who were
pleasing to him. He told Noah to
build a large vessel (the ark) to make
It 300 cubits long (405 feet) 50 wide
and 30 high, to divide it into three
stories and each story into many com-
partments, some for his family and
the others for all the animals, birds,
etc., that he wished to save. It took
Noah 100 years to build the ark. When
it was finished God sent Into the ark

er clean, likewise of the birds and

the outside. It then began to rain for
forty days and as many nights. All
living beings outside the ark perished
The waters of the deluge rose until
they were-fifteen cubits higher than
the highest mountains, including even
the volcanoes, if any then existed-
some of them were perhaps extinct
. and others would become so, and
break out again. Some say that all
the water in existence would not cover
the highest mountains. They forget
that God is omnipotent, were he but to
tilt the earth a little to one side the
oceans and seas would suffice to cov-
er the whole world. The rain that
fell was incessant and heavy. May it

planets and atmosphers that are much

water at one time covered all the
earth. The ark was carried about go-
ing in all directions for about a year,
and finally rested on Mount Ararat, in
Armenia, Asia. The waters of the
deluge were so violently moved, as It
was churned that they become very
muddy, so that when they settled, mud
covered some places to the depth of
many feet, and burled all that had been
livi ng before the deluge and made 1
them fossils, unless for a good reason.
It could not be done. Some travelers
not many years ago visited Mount Ara-
rat and found some of the remains of
the ark, so they reported. Not long

the report was confirmed. When the
waters had sufficiently subsided God
permitted Noah and his family to leave
the ark, then all the animals, birds and

countries they were destined for. As
at that time all continents were close-
ly connected (by the fabled or rather
real continent of Atlantis, between Ku-
rope, Africa and America, or perhaps
by other lands unknown to us. The
animals, birds and creeping beings des-
tined for America went there overland

water. Advancing gradually on their
journey, feeding on the radily growing
vegetation they at last got to their
homes. They may have passed through

way of the Behring Straits.but the con-
ditions thers must have been different
from what they are today. At that
early period there may have been
plenty of vegetation in that northern
region, so that the animals, birds and
creeping things could find food in
abundance, where now there is only
snow and ice. When Noah and his
family left the ark they at once sought
suitable localities for their homes and
they began to plant and to sow.
The human race soon became nu-
merous and built a large city, Babylon.
Near that city they were building an
immense tower, the Tower of Babel.
They had reached a great height in
their work, but they suddenly were
compelled to leave It unfinished. All
were speaking strange languages and
not one understood the other. Till then
all had spoken but one language that
of Adam and Eve, given them by the
Almighty himself in the Garden or
Paradise. God now gave the people
many languages to be used all over
the world. They did not understand
each other and so were forced to sep
arate and seek homes elsewhere and
repeople all the earth. All languages
are derived from these. It Is only God
who can invent languages. They may
be made more comprehensive in va-
rious ways—adding words or syllables
prefixed or affixed, taken from other
languages, etc. Marks or signs used
to express thought are not languages
Languages are learned and taught with
much labor. Those who bad received
languages for Asia net out for their
future homes where they were to found
nations and tribes, were, as it were, led
by God or their angels and did not go
astray. Those for Africa and Europe
also started o n their way and safely
reached the places destined for them
and there they founded their nations
and tribes. God had prepared people
to settle a part of the world where no
one had ever lived, that is America.
Hundreds of nations and tribes were
to occupy that wonderful country. As TO AVCIT TEDDIAIC WAD

guages they would be obliged to travel
in families which very probably they
did. They traveled overland follow-
ing the route, that the animals, birds
and creeping things had taken several
hundreds of years before. As all those
creatures had wonderfully increased
and vegetation and abundant food war
found everywhere They rested on
their journey when ever they pleased
and then as if led by God or by angels
they at last reached their homes and
found there nations and tribes. Many
of these people still exist, some of
them died out completely, some may
have joined other tribes, and others
were exterminated in wars. The con
tinent of Atlantis and perhaps other
lands that connected Europe and Af-
rica to America disappeared hundreds
of years before the Christian era. It.

The ocean currents were established

today, completely surrounded by wa

4000 years ago. It is no wonder that
they do not know when. They can

pottery. Some build houses of mud
blocks, of all sites. The Pueblo in
dlans (town Indians) of New Mexico
build their houses of adobes “(sun
dried bricks). They generally build
around a large open space, close to
gather with few or no openings on the
outside. In former days when the
wild or nomadic Indians frequently at
tacked them they entered their houses
only, from the top. Some of their
houses are built three or more stories
high, somewhat like terraces. Pueb
los are built on high rocky places al
most inaccessible, the houses are then
plastered with mud. Gypsum is used
for whitening walls. Pueblos are of
ten built in groups for protection.

found they made, ornaments which
they wore. ''’Their axes and hatchets
were made of very hard stone, as also
their arrow and spear heads. Knives
and fish-hooks were made of bone
Their bows and arrows and spears
were made of very hard tough wood,
and strong enough to kill the largest
animals. Ordinarily they led a quiet
peaceable life, but if their passions
were aroused they waged a terrible
bitter warfare to either conquer or be
conquered. Their cooking was very
simple and was done on hot stones, or
in the embers of their camp fires. They
had medicine men to look after their
sick, and carried out peculiar ceremo-
nies when burying their dead. The
Indian women carried their little ones
on their backs while at work, and car-
ried water on their heads in jars or
vessels made of hides, as they do In
many countries even now. The men
provide for their families by hunting
and fishing and give their children an

that It must regalvanized into life and
“It ran not be said that there is a

’in fact, there prevails a terrible fear

Suttner believes that she may he able
to kindle anew the low fires of the
Peace movement and achieve greater
results at this time by influence from
without than by her efforts within the
very vortex of the military spirit. For
this purpose she has accepted the in-
vitation of the National Federation of
American Woman's Clubs to address
the Congress of American women In
San Francisco in June.
We peace- workers of Europe look
hopefully to America for help and as
sistance to rekindle the fires of the

I for one, have unbounding faith in the
power and influence for good of the

Baroness von Suttner will visit the
principal American cities. In Boston
she will be the guest of Mr. Edwin
Ginn, the millionaire publisher and
peace advocate, who arranged for the
Baroness' tour. The Bareness will be
accompanied by Mrs. Andrea Hofer
Proudfoot of Chicago, a descandant of
the famous Tyrolean patriot, Andreas
Hofer.
Baroness von Suttner is still the ac-
tive head of the organized peace advo-
cates or Europe and also president of
the Austrian Peace Society. She comes
of one of the most noted military fam-
lies in Austria. Her father was
Field Marshal Count von Kinsky. The
Baroness had opportunity to study the
awful suffering, the horrors and deso-
lation of war, on the fields of battle
during the Prussian-Austrian war in
1866 and again during the Franco-
Prussian war in 1870. It was these
experiences thst are so vividly describ-
ed in her book. "Ground Arms" might

The quality and low price of Curtis Bros. Blue Label jams has
probably been responsible for some of this increased use.
Curtis Bros.. Co. are exceedingly particular about the ber-
ries and fruits which they use in making their jams. If you
could see these raw materials when they are being prepared; you
would immediately make up your mind never to put up any
more at home, but buy Blue Labeled goods instead. A 25c glass
of strawberry, blackberry or peach jam of the Blue Label quality
will persuade you to use less butter and more jam. It is not
only economical but offers a wider variety as well.
