NAVAIOS TOLIVE + INSANDPAINTING ifamous Art Is Preserved for > Posterity in New Mexico Hotel. By the Associated Press. “GALLUP, N. M, July 7.—The .fa- Tous sand paintings of the Navajos have been preserved for posterity, and the old Indian prophesy of “The Holy Ones,” that when all the sand paintings are forgotten and all relig- _lous chants die out, the end of the ‘world will come, can be laid aside in the minds of those who believe in it, for the time being, at least. ~ For the sand paintings have been transferred by artists to the walls of the Hotel EI Navajo, recently dedi- cated here. In placing the paintings on the walls the artists were par- ticular not to depart in the slightest degree from the original paintings made, by “White Singer” and other eminent chiefs ! In the art of the Navajos, paintings. music, drama expression of religion. The medicine man fs high priest, physician, singer, dancer and sets the stage for no mean drama. He depends upon his memory nd teaches the cult owers. The legend reads that when “The Holy Ones” give the ceremonies to man, the priests were enjoined to memorize them and destroy the originals. This was done, not only to avoid their falling into sacrilegious hands, but principally to write them on the “hearts of liv- ing men. They were therefore made in col- ored sand and destroved the same ! day they were made. Thus both paint ings and charts passed on from gen- eration to generation, changing grad- | ually and many of them fading from | the the memory of even the oldest priests. |« Thus many Indian medicine men were called upon to assist in furnish ing the true paintings that remained in their memorles, and these checked by Sam Day, jr. of St. Mi chael. an authority on Navajo cus toms, who! contributed the originals of the paintings and supert: e the work, o that no detail was overs1 looked., These paintings, all of the sacred rituals of the Na jo, are not intended to be pictorial, but figure, every line and every a symbol.

When the is o est avajo tribe heard that the sand pictures were to be trans- ferred and perpetuated they insisted on dedicating the hotel with the ritual_of their race and performed the fitual of “The Blessing of the Houd.

The reason given for the delay was that the stenographers were unable to complete the transcript’ of the peeches made by the miners’ repre- sentatives at the opening meeting on Friday, when the wage demands of the union were formally pre- sented to the coal companies. There were unverified reports that | other matters conspired to delay the drafting of the reply.

GERMANS SADDENED BY NEW ARMY LIST By the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 7.—Germany's first army list since 1914 has been issued, and its diminutive proportions bear | striking contrast to the fat.volumes of | pre-war days. It Is the first time that | one book has included the military forces of all Germany. The_shades of Bluecher, of the older von Moltke and of other fllustrious leaders who made the name of German militarism a thing of awe must shudder at the decapitations that have occurred | since their day. € i Up to 1914 the peace-time regular | army of the fatherland embraced some ' 600,000 men and officers, besides a_hodt of reserves. During the late hostilities | this strength swelled at one time 10| more than_ 8.000.000. Then came he | treaty of Versailies, and at one swoop clipped the German army to 100,000. Ten thousand of this. dwarfed array were permitted to be officers and mem- bers of the administrative personnel. Gone are the general staff and all the high training institutions so long the pride of Prussia. Four small j service schools are permitted, -and these for officer h candidates only. Gone, too, are whole branches of the service—the foot artillery, avia- tion and the afrcraft ‘construction, the rallway troops and the sreat technical organization which attended to the soldicry welfare and looked after the ‘men on leave. Princes and others of the higher nobility have completely disappeared from the officere’ corps, and there are not as many barons, counts and so on as in the dAys of yore. A muster roll call would sound strangely dif- ferent from those of a decade ago.
