NN WARRE FEATSRECALLED Army Society Holds Annual Dinner—Gen. Fountain Named Commander. Historic events of Indian w were recounted by Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Maj. Gen. Joseph T. Dick- man, Brig. Gen. Edward S. Godfrey | and Brig. Gen. S. W. Fountain before the annual dinner of the Order of Indian Wars, at the Army and Nivy Club, last night. Preceding the d ner a business meeting was held. over which Commander Brig. Gen. J. MecLernand presided. ien. Fountain was elected mander for the ensuing yvear. fMcers named were: Senior mmander, Brig. CGen. James T. Kerr; junior vice fommander, Col. J. D. Glennon; recorder and treas- urer, Capt. P. F. Meade; councll Lieut. Col. Willlam Baird, Gen. W. A. Holbrook, Gen. George H. Har- rles, Col. F. S. Foltz, Maj. H. R Lem- H. S. Mauck and Charles McG. eitzer, historian, Gen. God- Trey. The retiring commander, (ien. Me- Lernand, installed Commander Foun- tain, who acted as toastmaster. Gen. Miles related the Incidents leading up to the capture and death of Sitting Bull. stating that the In- dian fighters were possessed of the most herolc qualities of any American troops. He praised those who car- ried the flag to the vast wildernesses of the West with no thought of sur- render or defeat. Slow death by tor- ture, he said, was the inevitable re- sult of surrender. He stressed the fact that a civilian lias been endeavoring personally to make complete maps and charts of the great Indian battleflelds, a work, ke said, Congress should have pro- vided for years ago, as is being done w under congressional direction d at Government expense in lo- cating and mapping the Civil War bhattlefields of Virginia. He urged that all graves of Indian fighters be located and suitably marked. Indians Are Inerensing. There is no foundation to the be- lef that the red man is of a van- ishing race, F. M. Goodwin, Assistant Secretary of the Department of the Interior, declared. They are con- stantly increasing, he said. Of the 245,000 Indians, 81,000 are children, 65,000 attend schools—30,000 the pub- lio schools. He sald the Indian prob- lem has been in existence since the discovery of America, and the first step in educating the red man to the propricty of assimilation of American wa the Government troops endeavored to conquer them. Since then, he declared, there has been a gradual upward movement, due to the educational sacilities provided by the Interior Department, and the Indian feels proud to acclaim the American flag and profits by its protection. The uitintate solution of the problem, the speaker added, is their assimilation by th@States. Never before, he sald, has a conquered race been so richly compensated by their conquerors as hias the Indian. The Government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars, Tie sald, and will continue to spend huge sumas. Dickman Makes Comparisons. Gen. Dickman compared the State con - Other vice and of Texas at the time of the Indian| disturbances and at present. Con- irasted with the meager sums al- jowed for upkeep of an outfit in the cighties, he sald, was the most ex- pensive outpost he had known. Along the Mexican border in 1920, Gen. Dickman said, there was established an outpost, with every modern con- venience, on which the transportation charges alone for the year amounted to $1,000,000. Dickman declared re- spect for the United States was at such a low ebb on the other side of the Rio Grande that troops were for- bidden to approach the border in Vodles less than 100 strong. He, too. praised the old-time soldiers, saying that they were not subjected to the care of psychiatrists, morale officers and welfare workers. Gen. Godfrey, the only surviving yMicer of the Custer massacre, read a paper containing the report of an officer in which Sitting Bull's capture and death were recorded. This paper was found in a desk bought by a tallor. who turned the papers over to a member of this organization more than 20 years ago. Gen. Fountain read a paper contalning incidents in battles with the Indians in which he was engaged in 1885. A section of the United States Army Band Orchestra furnished music. Advent Sermon Announced.

(Copyright) WALT MASON. MACMILLAN PLEASES IN ORGAN RECITAL Large Audience at First Congre- gational Church Delighted With Young Artist's Work. The large auditorfum of the First Congregational Church was fi'led yes- terday with local musiclans and music lovers to hear the debut performance in Washington of Ernest M. young Canadian organist, who, age of 30, already has the doctor of music degree from Oxford University, i a member of the F. R. C. O. and Is rrofessor in the Toronto Conserva- tory of Music. Mr. MacMillan pre: usually fine program. Not the least | ifteresting thing about it was the fact that it included works of four living composers. The opening number was tradi- ional Bach, being that master's “Toc- cata and Fugue in F,” played with an intermission. As Chopin is the test of the planist and Wieniawski of the violinist, so Bach is the test of virtuosity of the organist. Mr. played with fine legato styl, nd clear-cut tones. Bee- thoven's andante con moto from the “First Symphony” followed with similar treatment. Then came com- d an_un- organist's treatment of “Gavotte in B Flat” and from ‘“Bernice,” Daquin's “Le Coucou” showed yet a third side to the player's versatility, both the mood and coloring of the composi- tion being delightfully presented. Guilmant's gay scherzo from “Sonata No. 5" completed the first half of the program. Philip James' tone poem, “Medita- tion a Ste. Clotilde,” with its spiritual motives rising to a flery climatic chord of marvelous power, was the first work by a living composer. Then followed a melodious “Intermezzo” by Alfred Hollins, & quaint musical embroidery, called “Rococo,” by Selim Palmgren, and the scherzo from Charles Widor's “Fourth Symphony, all played with apparent enthusiasm and careful tone eojoring. Cesar Franck’s “Finale in B Flat” was a brilliant finale to an excellent pro- gram. It was evident from the large number of people who lingered after the recital to greet the organist that Mr. MacMillan's interpretations were of the Handel's ““Minuet ISLE OF PINES PAC P IN SENATE 500 First Treaty Borah, as Suc- cessor to Lodge, Must Han- dle in Upper Body. The first treaty with a foreign na- tion which Senator Borah of Idaho, s chairman of the foreign relations committee, will be called upon to | handle in the Senate {8 that between the United States and Cuba, recogniz- Ing the sovereignty of Cuba over the Isle of Pines. Under unanimous consent agree- ment, entered into before the ad- journment of the last session of Con-| Eress, the treaty will come before the Senate for consideration on Wednesday, December 10, immedi- ately after the completion of the routine morning business. Senator Borah is opposed to the ratification of the treaty in its present forni. He is not alone in his opposition. It was sald today it was doubtful that the necessary two-thirds vote for rati- fication could be obtained—or that it would come to a vote at this time. There is nothing in the unanimous consent agreement which calls for a final vote. It is possible that thp debate will be brief. ‘Treaty 20 Years Old. The treaty, which has been hanging iire for 20 years, may be recommittcd. 1f such a course is followed, the ad- ministration may be advised to ne- gotiate a new pact with Cuba, under which the rights of the Americans who have settled in the Isle of Pines —-some 700 un number—will be bet- ter safeguarded. If the advice of some of the Senators who oppose tne treaty were followed, however, the United States would proclaim its ownership of the island, and nego- tiate accordingly. Cuba has maintained for many years, in fact, ever since its freedom after the war with Spain, that-the Isle of Pines was part of Cuban territory. The treaty recognizing Cuba's right to the isiand was signed March 2, l'll]4 by John Hay, then Secretary of s and Conzalo de Oquesada, Cliban Minister at Washington: The Isle of Pines, which the Cubans inslst is a municipality of the province of Havana, lies about 50 miles to the Southwest of Cuba. of about 980 square miles and a population of something over 4,000, of whom about 700 are Americans. principal products of the Island are grapefrult, pineapples, vegetables, hard- ‘woods and marble. Those who are opposing the treaty insist that the Isle of Pines properly belongs to_the United States; PERPETUAL BUILDING ASSOCIATION Pays 6 Per Cent on shares maturing in 45 or 83 months.

The argu- ment is made that the Cubans are seeking to “freeze out” these Ameri- cans by various kinds of discrimina- tion. The treaty has been reported to the Senate favorably four times. The last time in February of this year. It has been learned at the White House that while President Coolidge approves the pending treaty with Cuba, which would give the Isle of Pines to that republic, he has no in- tentlon of sending any. speclal rec- ommendation to the Senate regarding this. He, however, is hopeful that the Senate wilf ratify this treaty. ORIENTAL gazaar ‘Gift Shop 1205 Penn. Ave. N Open Evenings The Home of the ngh- Class Eyeglass .
