THOSK GERMAN OOI/OM1CS.
Unless the league of nations Is giv-
en something to do it will die of in-
action. The proposal to place the for-
mer German colonies under the super-
vision of the league and name certain
of the larger nations ajs "mandatory
powers" under the control of the
league is a happy solution of a dHi-
«ate situation.
The formation of the laegue would
be futile if the conference at Paris
resolved itself into a land grabbing
contest on the part of the nations in-
terested. The placing of the league
of nations in charge of the matter so
that if any power mismanaged a col-
ony it would have to answer to the
league puts some teeth in the power
of the league.*
Another good thing is the provision
that any colony showing ability to rule
itself shall be allowed to form a gov-
ernment under the supervision of the
league of nations. The administra-
tion of Cuba and the Philippines by
the United States furnishes a good
example of how the league of nations
may be expected to handle the deli-
cate colonial situation with the excep-
tion that certain of the great powers
will be In direct charge biit will be
answerable to the league for what is
done.
Germany's colonial record is un
savory in the extreme. Her brutal
methods have been exposed and hec
former subjects have joined In a re-
quest that they not b« returned to
: German misrule. Allegations have
been made that are almost too re
voltlng to print and Germany stands
unahamed before the rest of tlii
world.
The scheme before the peace con-
ference provides for Just such an
emergency as this. Any nation mis-
treating colonies already held can be
expected to have to account to the
league of nations for her actions.
Nations having mandatory powers
under the supervision of the league
would be exceedingly careful not to
overstep the bounds of conferred au-
thority and this would do away with
the old plan of nations assuming a
"protectorate* and then later annex-
ing the dependency.
It will be recalled that It was the
assumption of a protectorate over
Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria
which later grew into the annexation
of these countries by Austria. It will
also be recalled that it was in these
same two countries that a state of
unrest existed and that the Austrian
crown prince and his wife were assas-
sinated in the city of Serajeve in one
cf these countries.

There has been no estimate as yet
cf Just what it will cost the govern-

crop at the guaranteed price of over
two dollars a bushel. The food ad-
ministration Is asking for an approp-
riation of $1,250,000,000 to handle the
yields, but it is quite probable that
all of this sum will not be spent.
Many things, it must be remem-
bered, can enter the situation to af-
fect the competitive market price of
wheat between now and the time
It is harvested. The size of the crop
will have most to do with it. Green
bugs, smut and drouths quite often
play havoc with the season's produc-
tion. If there Is a short crop, why
the treasury will suffer little los?. If
there Is a bumper crop and yields in
Australia, India and Russia do not
come up to pre-war averages, why
this country will be just so much
richer as a result.
Either way the pendluin swings,
however, there is no use to worry.

The Ute war cry rang through a
French town the other day when
Chief Ross, otherwte Private Ross,
battalion scout of the—Infantry, dur-
ing a moment of triumgh over his
German enemy, forgot himself and
uttered the ancient tocsin of his race.
A year ago, when Private Ross bade
farewell to his native state—Arizona
—and shed his buckskin riding trous-
ers for a uniform, he immediately be-
came a chief. Not a chief with the
same executive powers as chiefs that
ruled over his race years ago, but a
plain buck private chief. His white
brethren insisted on calling him
Chief the first day he arrived In camp,
although he peeled polatoeta for the
mess sergeant that day, and real
chiefs are not supposed to do IC. P.
Chief Ross la not what you would
call a model soldier. He has been
known to salute an officer only onee
and that was when he had gone to
his captain for the third tltaie to re
quest a pass. He says "Ugh!" for
"Yes, sir," and shakes his head for
"No, sir." • He never talks much
although he has a fair knowledge of
English. He had smiled up to the
other day only once since He has
been in the army, and that, his com-
rades say, was when his scout com
mander promised him a certain some
thing if he would accomplish a cer-
tain errand which the officer was
about to Bend him Upon.
It was at a training camp in Amer-
ica that a scout captain first noted
the scouting abilities of Chief Ross.
One day the regiment was maneuver-
ing, and It was necessary to eend out
scouts. Chief Ross was selected. A
detachment, commanded by the cap-
tain, was to act as the enemy, and it
was Chief Ross's duty to scout ahead
of the advance guard, locate the
enemy and report his location to the
colonel.
Enemy Is Located.
An hour later the Indian reported
the exact location of the "enemy"
and then disappeared. ftVhen J he
captain and his detachment had been
captured Chle^/Ross brought up the
rear. He had returned to their posi-
tion and hid behind a log to avoid
a mistake In case the "enemy"
changed Its location. During his go-
ing and coming the soout had been
unobserved, and the captain was
much surprised on learning that his
position In a thick berry patch had
been under observation by Ross
from the time he entered It until his
capture.
When the regiment arrived in
France, Chief Ross, with forty others,
was chosen as a battalion scout. Then
it was that his real work began.
The first day the regiment went
Into battle, Chief Ross was very
active. By night, he knew every
shell hole in No Man's Land, the
location of every machine gun nest
and sniper's post.
It was during that first day of bat-
tle that the Indian scout relapsed
into a silence profound even for him.
He spoke to no one except on rare
occasions. When directed to perform
a certain errand, he merely grunted
and then faded away into the forest
or underbrush. The errand perform-
ed—and he has never failed to per-
form one yet, whether it be a ma-
chalne gun nest that needs silencing
or only a sniper—he would Return
to his own lines without even so
much as making a report to his scout
commander.
Admired by Polios.
Hi# actions were noticed by the
French officers and poilus. What
they regarded him as at first they
were too polite to tell, but soon they
began to understand and admire him.
There came the night at Fismes
when the scout officer and a patrol
found themselves lost in a dark wood.
They dared not go one way or
another without first obtaining
proper Information as to their loca-
tion for fear of walking into the Ger-
man lines. They were discussing
their problem when a dark form
crawled out from under a shelter and
approached the lieutenant.
It was Chief Ross. He walked over
to the officer, pulled at his coat
sleeve and bade him follow, uttering
one of his grunts. Fifteen minutes
later the party walked back into Its
own lines.
Chief Robs developed a certain
paternal' affection for a German luger
pistol that he captured one night in
the enemy trenches. He carries It
with him wherever he goes.for fear
that one of his white brothers will
annex It In his absence If he leaves It
lying around. He has been known to
sleep with It strapped to his belt.
It Is with this automatic pistol that
he accomplishes his various tasks as
a battalion scout. He seldom carries
anything else except hand grenades.
His supply of ammunition is always
low, but he manages to visit the Ger
man trenches often enough to keep
supplied, and this German made
weapon has killed many bocbes.
Job for the Chief.
The scout commander expressed
his desire to acquire a pair of Ger-
man field glasses. He made the re-
mark to another officer in the
presence of Chief Ross. That night
a scouting party ^ent out, and Chief
Ross was of It. Next morning the In-
dian approached the scout com-
mander and presented him with a
pair of field glasses. "I get him dug-
out," he explained, pointing towards
the German lines.
It was last week, during the Amer-
ican advance beyond Fismes across
the Vesle, that the greatest test of
all came. A machine gun was hold-
ing up the advance with a harassing
fire.
It was broad daylight—S o'clock
In the afternoon. The task of
silencing the machine gun was left to
the scout commander. A picked
patrol was to go out and accomplish
the job. The work fell on Chief Ross
and three companions, the three be-
ing picked because they are almost
as clever as Ross himself.
The patrol disappeared Into the
underbrush with the Indian leading,
his luger pistol ready and two
grenades bulging In his hip pocket.
The machine gun emplacement, it
was discovered, was In the high
window of a building not 200 yards
from the American line. Two men
were left out front to draw Its fire,
and Chief Ross and the fourth man
advanced on the position from two
sides.
It was Ross who got within range
first He crawled up to within a few
yards of the building and could see
the muzzlo of the machine gun pro-
truding through the window.
An instant later, a well aimed
grenade hurled from the chief's right
hand burst Inside the compartment,
killing one of the two Germans and
demolishing the gun. The surviving
German retreated through a back
window and slid to the ground direct-
ly behind the building, where he
would be protected by German ma-
chine gun fire from the rear.
It was certain death to attempt to
reach the retreating hun from either
side of the building, a* machine
guns were then pouring forth a hail-
storm of bullets.
The German was cunning, but not
nearly so cunning as the Ute. Chief
Ross swung himself up to the roof,
and, catlike, approached ifts ridge,
whe»e he had a commanding view of
his fleeing enemy.
Three shots did the Job.
It was then that Chief Ross re
leased his tribe's ancient war whoop.
It was his moment of triumph, and
If the other members of the patrol
could have seen the Indian's face at
that moment, they might have seen
him smile for the second time since
he has been In the army.

THREE SALVATION ARMY LAS*
8IE8 ESTABLISH ENVIABLE
A. E. P. RECORD.
(Stars and Stripes.)
Utilizing an ordinary army field
range and oven, three Salvation
Army lassies at A. P. O. 70» on Aug.
16 established a new pie baking
record for the A. E. F. by turning out
311 apple pies in one day.
The pies were like mother or
wifey back In the gopd old U. S. A.
Is still baking—rich, heavy with
aromatic juices and tantallzlngly
flavored with spices. The pie bak-
ing championship of the Salvation
Army overseas contingent was form-
erly held by the women workers in
a hut near the firing line, who baked
2SS pies In a day.
The woltaen who baked the pies at
A. P. O. 70S are Captain Grlselda
Rapson of Wisconsin, Envoy Mae
Morton of Utah and Miss Mary I*
Billings of New York.
Any army cook will tell you that
he can bake sixty or seventy plea for
one meal, blindfolded and with
shackles on his wrists, but when three
weak women can bake lit pies
(double deckers at that) without re-
lief, and every pie a masterpiece, the
cooks say they doff their overseas to
the Salvation Army lassies.
To give an Idea of the magnitude
of the task, the labor Involved and
what that poor field range had to
contend with, the Salvation lArmy
record shows that tn baking those
316 articles de cuisine, the following
quantities of the various ingredients
were used:
One hundred and fifty pounds of
flour, 48 gallons of apples, 58 pounds
of lard, 100 pounds of sugar and tw«
pounds of cinnamon.
To a Doughboy.
I watched you slog down a dusty pike,
One of many, so much alike,
With a spirit keen as a breath ot
flame,
Ready to rise and ready to strike
Whenever the fitting moment came;
Just a kid with a boyish grin.
Waiting the order to hustle In
And lend your soul to the battle thrill,
Unafraid of the battle din
Or the guns that crashed from a hid-
den hill.
Century Old Log
Becomes Part of
a Modern Vessel
(Associated Pre* Dispatch.)
Beaumont, Te*., f>b. 2.—After re-
posing more than * century in the
bed of the Neches river, a hugh
cypress log will become a part of a
modern type ship, under construc-
tion, by a shipbuilding company here.
When pulled from the river bed
.^workmen found carved on the log
the figures "1810."
A steel cable was passed under the
log and the relic pulled from the
river. The log was carried to a mill
where It was made into ship timber.
There were several augar holes in
the log, and in theBe were driven oak
pegs, which were evidently used in
rafting.

Austin, Tex., Feb. 2.—Prohibition
of dancing In jaxs and carnival ex-
hibitions is Texas Is proposed in a
bill introduced in the upper branch
of the Texas legislature by Senator
R. Floyd of Red River county. The
senator claims these -dances are im-
moral and should be banished from
the state.
Senator Floyd would also levy an
occupation tax of |10 for each side
show operated in connection with the
usual circus.
I watched you leap to the big advance.
With a smile for Fate and Its fighting
chance,
Sweplng on till the charge was dona:
I saw your grave on a slope of Franca
Where you fell asleep when the fight
was won;
Just a kid, who had earned hts rest
With a rifle and helmet above his
breast.
Who proved, in answer to German
jeers.
That a kid can charge a machine gun
neat
Without the training «f forty years.
I watched the shadows drifting by
As gray dusk came from a summer s
sky,
And lost winds came from beyond tha
fight.
And I seemed to hear them croon and
sigh:
Sleep, little dreamer, sleep tonight;
Sleep tonight, for Tm bringing you
A prayer and a dream from the home
you knew;
And I'll take them word of the big
advance,
And how you fought till the game
was through
And you fell asleep lnv the dust o*
France."
During the German retreat the
enemy's rearguard action was made
by hostile planes that flew back ov'er
the American lines.
One of these planes was flying over
a big field in the direction of a French
town where American troops were
stationed. At the edge of this town
an American machine gunner had his
machine well camouflaged waiting
for Just such a target. Just as the
German flyer got half way across tha
field, the American opened fire from
his hidden position.
"Did you get him?" his captain
asked a trifle later.
"No sir," answered the^Sunner, "but
I must have scared him a bit. because
he dropped all three of his bombs to-
gether out in this vacant field and
beat it back as fast as a bullet could
travel."
