Wayne’s Victory Opened
Ohio Territory to Settlers
The Greenville treaty made by
General "Mad Anthony” Wayne on
August 3, 1795 with delegates from
12 Indian tribes of the region opened
most of the Ohio territory to white
settlement, and definitely restricted
the Indians to lands farther west,
•ays the National Geographic soci-
ety.
Years of brutal warfare had pre-
ceded the treaty. The young nation
emerging from the struggle with
England for independence suffered
severe defeats in trying to control
the Indians rooming over the then
western territories. The resistance
of the Indians reached its highest
point in 1791 in the defeat of troops
under General St. Clair, Ohio’s gov-
ernor and military commander.
After this disaster President Wash-
ington chose General Wayne, a Rev-
olutionary war hero, to lead a new
expedition against the enemy tribes.
Wifh nearly 2,000 foot soldiers Gen-
eral Wayne pushed westward in
October, 1793, built Fort Greenville
rougnly midway between the St.
Mary’s and Miami rivers near what
is now the Ohio-Indiana state line,
and passed the winter there.
The next fall, Wayne came upon
an enemy force of 2.000 warriors and
a sort of “foreign legion" consisting
of French, English, and reregade
Americans. Accounts differ as to
which side attacked first, but all
agree that sharp fighting developed,
and that the Indians were soundly
beaten. The American troops won a
quick victory, slew many chiefs,
and drove'the surviving warriors to
the shelter of a British fort some
miles distant from the battleground.
Indian fields and villages were de-
stroyed by the pursuing victors; the
fort was spared.

TV7 ALTER GATES sat straight as
* ’ a rod, although It was nearly
four hours since he had started wait-
ing to see the managing editor. He
was poised hopefully on the edge
of the chair, as if he expected each
minute might bring back the copy
boy with the news that Mr. Pool
was ready to see him about the re-
porting job.
But, instead, the photographer
came around the corner for the
fourth time from the direction of
the clacking city room. Walt stopped
him. “You’ll never get to see the
old man sitting here, Matey,” the
photographer informed him. “He
hates appointments. Funny that
way.’’
“Then how does anyone ever see
him?" Walt inquired. His forehead
was furrowed deeply, up to the line
of his thick blond hair. He explained
he had had a little reporting experi-
ence before Army service. Now that
he was discharged, he wanted to
get back into newspaper work. He
shifted his weight from one foot to
the other, proving to himself again
that the artificial legs they pass out
these days are no handicap.
The photographer stepped closer
to Walt and spoke softly from the
corner of his mouth. He suggested
Walt break in on the chief. "But
don’t let on you know who he Is.
the photographer schemed. “I know
a guy who got a job that way, only
he didn’t know he was talking to
Pool, see?
“But I couldn't do that," Walt pro-
tested.
“What’s to stop you? Pool's a
quiet guy, but he likes ’em bold.

neutral."
As Walter descended to the press-
room where the chief was, the acrid
odor of the etching acid reached
him. He had always thought It dis-
pleasing. But now he recognized it
as part of the nostalgia every en-
thusiastic reporter has for a news-
paper office. It was akin to the un-
kempt appearance of city rooms and
the crippled typewriters about which
the reporters always complain.
Walt casually observed the blur
of newsprint threading through the
presses and, pretending he belonged
there, from the corner of his eye he
hunted for Mr. Pool. All the men
wore the handmade boxlike caps
which most pressmen fashion for
themselves from a piece of news-
print paper—all except one.
Walt looked at him more closely.
He stood with his hands behind his
back, doing nothing but observe
moaning machines. He fitted exactly
the photographer's description of
Mr. Pool. He wore large black-
rimmed glasses and his graying hair
was parted far to one side. Walt
strolled casually up to him and they
watched the presses together. After
waiting for Mr. Pool to speak first.
Walt ventured: "There’s no end to
the excitement of seeing the paper
go to press, is there?" He had to
shout to be heard. The man merely
glanced at Walt coolly over the dark
rims of his glasses.
“I like the Post," Walt resumed.
"It's a good solid paper. Lot of tra-
dition behind it. But ...” here's
where he took the photographer's
cue. He searched self-consciously for
ideas that were not his own. . .
But I think the paper is too neutral.
It never gets excited about any-
thing. Know what I mean?"
There was still no remark from
Mr. Pool.
"It ought to have definite policies.
Ought to guide the thinking of its
readers on important topics.”
“Yeah?" The’ man looked Walt
sternly up and down.
"I think the Post needs new
blood,” Walt went on. “Young
blood.” He considered giving him-
self as an example, but decided
against being too obvious. "Of
course it's the men at the top who
count where policies nre concerned.
Perhaps the Post needs a new man-
aging editor." He was sorry as soon
as the bold words had passed his
lips. But his comments had brought
the man's head around with a jerk.
But now, with Mr. Pool glaring
at him in apparent anger, Walt could
only add weakly, "What do you
think?"
"I think you’re batty as a loon."
Walt felt his cheeks burn. He sought
some way to escape as gracefully
as possible. "But I wouldn't know,"
the man added. He brought his
hands from behind his back and
placed a boxlike paper cap on his
head. "I'm only a pressman my-
self.”

Yes, we’ve done it again!
Everyone knows that many times in the past we have
volunteered lower rates when we could do so without
jeopardizing the high quality of our service.
Now, again, we have reduced the cost of residential
electric service so that “for less than ever you can enjoy
life more than ever!” Today our service is as high in
quality, hut lower in cost than before. Thai is true about
very few other things you buy, isn’t it?
