THE INDIANS IN WAR.
-:o:-
After having stolen rroni and
lied to Russia it is but natural that.
Germany should now lie about that
unhappy country hence Russia
started the war.

We are informed that a certain
l'lattsmouth lady has accepted an
engagement ring from an out-of-town
gentleman with the under
standing that it is to be glued on
:o:
Although it was very important
to the American public altogether
and individually, nobody seems to
be able to recall the exact date on
which the law of supply and demand
was repealed.
:o;
Another reason why mi many Ne
braska women are seizing the op
portunity to work in the fields these
days is that so many riding imple
ments are now in use. The women
have been enjoying no riding dish
washers and ironing boards in the
kitchen.
If a flicker of amusement arises
out of the announcement that the
Onondaga tribe of Indians, in New
York state, hay declared war against
Germany, it can arise only out of
the peculiar circumstances of the
particular case. The Onoiulagas
were good enough warriors to move
as great a soldier as George Wash
ington to recognize them, by treaty,
as a separate nation, as a means of
maintaining peace. The terms of
t no treaty winch might long ago
have been termed "a mere scrap of
paper," have been observed. It is
as a separate nation the Osiondagas
now declare war, but such of their
young men as are enlisting serve
with the army of the United States,
lieing "a separate nation," tlu-y
must make a formal declaration i.s
a preliminary to releasing their nun
for action.
more are now several thorand
Indians enrolled in the United States
army, and not. a few of them are
seeing active service at the trout.

the right of people to govern themselves. Should
the United States and its allies fail in this war
there will not remain on earth, a people absolutely ino!epen
dent.of trie dictation of the Teutonic empires, organized for
military efficiency and bent on using that efficiency for the
purpose of forcing their will upon the world. Let the Teu
tons triumph and the world will not bo a safe place for
democracy, and to maKe it such a safe place, is not enly
the expressed purpose of the United States in taKing up
the challenge of the Huns, but also the purpose of the other
powers who tcoK up the challenge when Germany sent it
forth three years and a half ago, and who for three years
and a half have borne the burden of the conflict
For this reason the PRESENT BUSINESS OF THE
UNITED STATES IS WAR war to exterminate or
ganized unrighteousness and to . establish peace
among the nations of the world.
The Government has perfected a plan which
will enable all of our people without exception, to
laKe a definite part in winning the war.

One of the first great steps called for by the Govern
ment is SAVING. The American people must cease to
require all of the pleasant and comfortable luxuries which
they consumed before tha war, the production of which
calls for the energy cf millions cf men and women. These
men and women must dsvote themselves to the production
of the things which are needed to win the war. This is the
Key to the present situation; it rests in the hands of the
average man, woman and child in every state in the Union,
by refraining from everything not absolutely necessary to
health, and efficiency, to release strong arms for the pro
duction of materials of war to support our army and navy.
Idle dollars ere SLACilER dollars, but dollars spent for
unnecessary articles, the production of which require labor
and materials which the government needs to save the lives
of our fighting men, are TRAITOR dollars.
