    Park Named tor
Marshal Foch
by Crow Tribe
• ( hief of All Warriors” Asked
for Fitting Memorial,
Preferably Captured
German Cannon.
Billing*. Mont., Jan. 3 .—The spot
s: the Crow Indian agency, where
the great French soldier, Gen. Fer
dinand Foch, wag initiated into the
< row Indian tribe, November 28, 1921,
has been named Foch park by the
i row Indians in general council.
At the same session a letter was
written to Gen. Foch asking that Ah
Ha-Ko-Ta Ba Tsa-Chlsh, or “chief of
all warriors,” as the Indians call hint,
send them some fitting memorial to
place in the park in his honor.
The French general was made an
honorary chieftain of the Crows at
tlaborate Initiation ceremonies in 1921,
which thousands attended.
The Indians prefer a captured Ger
man cannon as a memorial, it was
said.
The letter to Foch was signed by
Plenty Coos, chief of the Crow tribe.
It calls attention to the fact that the
only all-American all Indian Legion
post in America is located at the Crow
agency.
Final Session of Peace
Parley Set for Today
(Contlimed from F»»« On«.)
fixed their signatures today to a spe
cial proctocol agreeing, when a gen
eral peace is signed, to return to
Greece all able-bodied male Greeks
who have been held by Turkey since
the Greek rout in Asia Minor and the
Smyrna tragedy. This proctocol af
fects some 100,000 men.
The Mosul dispute came up before
the council of the league of nations
i ommittee today and it threatens to
wreck the near east conference. It
brought about one amusing incident
which served momentarily to lighten
ihe diplomatic gloom. One difficulty
had been to determine what tho Kurds
in the Mosul region want. A Kurdish
representative appeared at British
headquarters today and outlined tho
desires of his fellows, saying:
"I no like the Turkish government;
I no like the British government: I
r.o like Arabian government; I no like
no government. I am farmer.”
DIm-uss Mosul Oil.
Paris, Jan. 30.—(By A. P.>—The dis
puts between Great Britain and Tur
key over the Irak frontier. Involving
the oil producing fields of Mosul was
brought before the council of tho
league of nations today by the earl
of Balfour. The council took no ac
tion as It is awaiting an Indication
from the Turks as to whether they
will accept the league's Jurisdiction.
Question for League.
Mosul, said Lord Balfour, was a
question for tho league to consider,
because the Irak was mandated ter
ritory, Great Britain acting In thnt
lerritory In behalf of the league of
nations.
The question furthermore was of
Interest to the league, he said, be
cause of the menace to peace that
was Involved.
He said he thought Article XVII of
the league covenant might give the
Turks apprehension that they would
not be admitted to an equal footing
by the council.
Article XVII provides that In the
•vent of^a dispute between a league
member and a state not a member
; the latter "shall be Invited to accept
ths obligations of membership lu the
league for the purpose of such dis
pute, upon such conditions as the
council may deem Just.”
Vivian! Concurs.
Lord Balfour said he had Informa
tion Indicating the Turks feared that
tinder this article the council might
place them In a condition of inferi
ority In an arbitration dispute. Ho
assured the council It was the desire
of the British government that the
Turks be invited to sit with the coun
cil in the Mosul ease, which Great
Britain desires to have the league
arbitrate, on an equal footing with
the other members.
M. Vivian!, for France, concurred
In Lord Balfour's expressions.'

Citizens Unite
to Aid Officers
Liquor Violations Cause Ar
lington Residents to Form
Vigilance Committee.
Fremont, Neb., Jan. 30.—(Special.)
—Alleged violations of the eighteenth
amendment have apparently become
so rampant In the vicinity of Arling
ton, Washington couty, that citizens
have formed a league of voters for
law enforcement. The organization
has been completed with H. W.
Sehettger, an official of the Arling
ton State bank, elected as president.
Following alleged freedom of the
bootleggers and booze manufacturers
to carry on their occupations without
disturbance, the citizens called a
mass meeting to consider drastic
steps toward assisting enforcement of
the statutes.
G. A. Marshall, merchant, was
chosen vice president; W. A. Rock
i meyor, secretary treasurer; Fred De
weber, Ernest Eisner and Fred Mier
j henry as an advisory board.
Citizens gathered at the city hall In
| response to the call for a mass nieet
l ing. Practically all signified their
willingness to assist In running down
violators of the Volstead act by sign
ing the constitution that was adopted
by the meeting. This is the first time
in many years, excepting during the
rail strike, that the public at large
has been called in to aid the officers
of the law in Dodge county.
