BISMARCK DAILY TRIBU OFFICERS SEEK « Britishers Seek Military Service in Other Lands. RUSSIA MOST ATTRACTIVE | Soldiers of Fortune Are Joining With Russians, Poles and Czecho-Slovaks —Demand in Russia Is for Those with Technical Knowledge Who Can Serve as Instructors—Poland Also . In Field for Instructors. Hundreds of British ex-officers are seeking new fields in which to fight. British soldiers of fortune promise to common on the continent as they in the days of the Thirty Years’ Russia at present holds out the greatest attractions for the adven- turers. After north Russia come Esthonia, Poland and Czecho-Slovakia. All foreign governments engaged in small wars or in licking their armies into shape are offer ilized British officers. On the books of the Russian em- bassy are the names of more than 100 \ officers who have volunteered to serve. | The demand is for those with technical knowledge who can act as instructors.

As the mat- ter is arranged at present British offi- cers, excepting in case of flying officers, | will receive the Russian pay of their | rank, which~in most cases is hardly | more than $50 a month. The Esthonian | government has engaged several offi: | cers to conduct aerial operations and their pay is even higher than that in! the British air forces. The drawhack is that the adventurer | ig paid in the currency of the country | for which he fights and it may or may| not be redeemable in future years. | North Russian government rubles, un- til the British forces left, were guar- anteed by Great Britain. The cur rency of Gen. Yudenitch and of the gouthern armies in Russia was hardly in the same category, but chances of redeeming thelr money ‘are not deter- ging the seckers after war. } Poland in Field. Poland is newly arrived in the field of competition for foreign officers and «positions as instructors are being of- fered to demobilized British officers. ‘The monthly pay is at the rate of 800; marks for a captain and 600 marks for a Heutenant. Thirty days leave in England a year and assurance of med- ical care and assistance are included in the conditions. The Polish war office has opened a special department at Warsaw to deal with the affairs, ot foreign officers. A visit to the Czecho-Slovak legation| in London reveals that twenty ex-of- ficers of the British army have applied to Prague for service in the Czech; army. The trouble with all foreign governments at this moment is their Jack of ready funds, but that is an old story. Soldiers of fortune were con- tinuously impecunious, South America i may provide a better field for the ad- venturers. Mexican armies have had and still have many British officers fighting for them. i REDS USE FALSE PASSES); \ Mystery of How They Get to Copen.| 7 hagen Solved. The secret police service of Copen- hagen has solved a mystery which for several months had puzzled both the police and the government.

HISTORY INVOLVED IN’ SUIT Question Engrosses Attention of Law yers, Oil Men, Land Gwners and Federal and State Officials—Gives History of Wichita Claim. _ Austin, Tex.—Seldom has a case been filed in American courts in which history has been involved to the ex- tent that it is in the question of the ownership of the channel of the Red river, beneath the bed of which are valuable oil deposits. This question has been “engrossing the attention-of lawyers, oil men, land owners and federal and state officials, The state of Texas claims ownership in the bed of the river to the center ;of the channel, while the federal gov- ernment and the state of Oklahoma oppose the claim of Texas under the terms of the treaty of Spain in 1819, by which the northern boundary of the Spanish dominions in Texas, was desig- nated as-the sonth bank of the Red 2 areas in dispute belong to the Indian tribes. which owned the adjacent res- ervations, and the state of Oklahoma maintaine that, as a meandering stream, the bed of the Red river is F . Another Claimant. Joseph B. Thoburn, secretary of the Oklahoma Historical society, has’ ad- vanced the’ suggestion .that there, is still another claimant to the owner- ship of the oil bearing area of the channel of the Red river, namely, the Wichita Indians, Mr. Thobugn in the course of an extended statement says: “Older than any of the claims of ownership which» are now being pressed for the possession of the oil hearing areas of the channel of the Red river—older than any claim of the State of Texas by rights derived from Mexico or Spain, and older than }- or of the. United States which may have been derived from France through the purchase of Louisiana— is the right of the aboriginal owners {of the land on both sides of the river, and these“are the people of the Wich- ita tribe of Indians. “The ancestors of the Wichita In- dians have lived in Oklahoma and ad- Jacent states for a thousand yearsgand for approximately five hundred years past they have occupied the country on both sides of the Red river in that part of its course where it traverses habits, living in fixed villages and de- pending largely upon the cultivation of the soil for their subsistence: “The rights of the Wichita Indians to the ownership of these lands has never been extinguished by purchase, exchange or otherwise, though state and federal governments have seem- ingly proceeded on the theory that no auch right ever existed. From the time of its foundation the federal govern- ment has always paid due regard, at least in form, to the extinguishment of title to lands which were claimed by the several Indian tribes under ab- original occupancy.

Indians Cede Land. “In 1818 certain chiefs and warriors of the Quapaw tribe of Indians, in council at St. Louis with William Clark and Auguste Chouteau, as com- missionefs representing the govern- ment of the United States, entered in- -|to a treaty-by the terme of which they ceded all of the land# in Oklahoma and Texas between the Arkansas and Can- adian, rivers on the north and the Red river.on, the: south: to. the government. | b The fact that the ‘Quapaw Indlans’ Hved in eastern Arkansas, that they seldom went as far west as the eastern boundary of Oklahoma and that they never by occypancy or otherwise exer- cised any form of ownership or juris- diction over any of the lands within 200 miles of the region-wheré the Wichitas were living, do not seem to have entered into the consideration at all, ff, indeed, the government com- missiohers had any knowledge of the existence of the Wichitas at that time. |~ Yet, with this) Quapaw transaction as a basis, the government of the United States execute a grant of these lands to the people later. More than thirty years later the Wichita people first learned that their country had been sold by the Quapaw and then granted to the Choctaws. “If the government of the United States ever means to do the square and honorablé thing by the Wichita Indians it will never have a better chance than it has at the present time.
