(Associ- ated Press Photo) BUFFALO MAIDEN IS CHOSEN FOR INDIAN RAIN DANCE RITES One Bull, Nephew of Sitting Bull, Predicts Prayers Will Be Answered Little Eagle, 8. D., Aug. 21—(P)— Selection of a white buffalo calf maiden to bear the peace pipe in the traditional sun dance of the Sioux, which begins at sunrise Saturday and continues until sundown Sunday night, was the chief business of the council of chiefs in the camp on the Grand river here Friday, preparatory to opening of the ceremonial. Legend names the girl Morning Star, the maiden who delivered the peace pipe to the council of elders in the original sun dance, disappearing through the side of the sacred council tepee and changing to a white buffalo} calf on the outside but later return-; ing to her original form, the Morning Star. One Bull, 87-year-old nephew of Sitting Bull, who is staging the dance in full with exception of torture rites for the first time since 1879, confi- dently expects the prayers of his peo- ple to be answered. ‘Rain Will Come’ Casting his eyes toward the tower- ing clouds of the early morning Fri- day, he said, “The rain will come. Ever since I have brought the sacred red flannel, rain clouds have been. gathering. It is only when we bring the red flannel and the sun continues to shine that we are not heard. Our prayers will be answered.” While the sun dance in this case is a general plea to end the drouth, many individual sacrifices were be- ing made on the grounds Friday, asking for health, wealth, peace and freedom from affliction. A war dance E 5 in PRICE FIVE CENTS swe NTRS NOTIFY SPANIARDS TO KEEP WAR WITHIN BOUNDS Mussolini Believed Ready to Abandon Neutrality Ef- fort in Revolt |ATIONAL LINES TIGHT of Revolt in Authori- tarian Portugal Prove to Be Unfounded MEDIATION FAILS the warship bridges powers—Great Britain and 'e England, adopting a similar policy to that of the Reich, served notice on Madrid that British warships will fire warning shots, “then aim,” if they are fired upon by Spanish vessels. Only Thursday, Germany, enraged by the reported search of a German merchant ship by a Loyalist Spanish warship, ordered its men-of-war to answer “force with force.” That drew tighter the gathering in- ternational lines between Fascism and Soctalist-Communist lberalism, Independent Action Britain, however, made it clear her action, announced Friday, was inde- pendent of the Reich. Hours of anxiety, spurred by reports of a revolt in authoritarian Bave way to relief when the rumors fell short of confirmation. The United States, determined as ever to remain “scrupulously” aloof from the chaos on the Iberian penin- sula, rejected a Uruguayan proposal for American peace-making in the dispute. Other large countries in the Americas previously had indicated they desired to take no such action et this time, A Lisbon dispatch asserted munications were cut off for several hours Thursday night. The Paris government radio said at noon there was no abnormal break in communi- cations but could not get any con- firmation or denial of a Portuguese revolution. Premier Mussolini, his troops in a “state of readiness,” was reported re- Uably to have directed his envoys to sound out foreign reaction to aban- donment of neutrality negotiations in the Spanish conflict. Tl Duce Determined The Fascist Il Duce was determined to accept no agreement that did not Practical provide moral as well as neutrality. He was equally deter- mined, informed observers believed, to permit no strong Socialist state to arise from the aftermath of civil war in Spain. Germany, angered by the reported searching of a merchant ship by Spanish Loyalists, was ready for ace tion with 16 warships in Spanish wae ters ready to meet force with force. Soviet Russia, the German press charged, had taken over command of the. Spanish conflict in an effort to set “the entire world aflame” for Communism. her shipping in Spanish waters. Should revolt in Portugal develop, the southern peninsula of Europe would present a picture of a Socialist government trying to crush Fascism in Spain, and a Fascist government in Portugal battling Communism.
