'3 "Wheat King' Leiter Issues an " Appeal for Commanders v ,: of Troops . 1 V (By Geo. H. Manning). Washington, Jan. 12. -An appeal for an increase in pay for bflieers of the United States army, .whose salaries are scarcely enough "o live on and have stood still while the; pay of the enlisted men have been donbled in the last year, is made by Joseph Leit er, 'president of the ; Army League, in a statement just issued. The former Chicago "Wheat King," who has taken a deep Interest in ar my matters, says that while the pay o fthe enlisted men has been doubled and the wages of all other workers in creased, the pay of army officers has actually been reduced through the failure of the government to furnish quarters or allowances for, them. This matter has been the subject of . mufeh adverse criticism' in recent months. It has -been charged that men who have entered the Officers' Reserve - Corps have been led to be lieve' they would receive an allowance for uniforms and equipment and for quarters, 'but later ha ve discovered they--would receive none of these al lowances. ' ' . Many well-educated, capable and successful young business men have gone through the officers' training camps and won commissions as cap tains and lieutenants and only to find that after they pay for their food, uniforms and equipment which they h.ad believed the government would pay for, they are much worse off than the corporals and sergeants. The rates of pay of the non-coranus- sioned officers and the lieutenants and captains are such that many sergeants and' corporals qualified for ' commis sions preferred to stay in the ranks because they cannot stand the finan cial sacrifice. t "Very justly, the pay of enlisted men has been increased 100 per cent. for the duration of the war, but the pay of officers should not be( reduced, says Mr. Leiter. "Taking into con sideration what is required to qualify a man to command troops in the field, army officers are the poorest paid em ployes of the government," he said. "As indicated in the cables, General Pershing is demanding the highest physical and mental standard for of ficers in his 'command. Hundreds of efficient officers with long terms of service in the regular army are being relieved from the army in France be cause they are physically unfit to meet the exacting and rigorous re qiirements of service in the trenches, Tne highest type of physical and In tellectual manhood wil be, required for" officers in the European conflict." "There appears to be a popular mis-; apprehension as to. pay for officers in the army. From the discussion of pilitary legislation members of Con gress seem to assume that the gov ernment furnishes officers with Uni forms and equipment, as it does the enlisted men. But such is not tho care." WOULD PRESERVE PERRY'S FLAGSHIP I (By Geo. H. Manning.) .Vashington, D. C, Jan. 11 As a means of preserving the historic na val brig "Niagara", Commodore Perry's flagship at the battle of Lake Erie, as a perpetual memorial, Con gressman Henry A. Clark of Penna., has introduced a bill in the House to appropriate $15,000 for her 'repair preservation, care and maintenance, Mr. Clark's bill provides that the Niagara shall be turned over to the city pf Erie which shall thereafter keep her in repair, in running water so that the old sea warrier will be to all appearance in the same condi tion-as when she went into batle un der Commodore Terry. - Plans similar' to this have been discussed for several years and it is auogetner iiKeiy tnat in tne near future Congress will restore the old vessel and turn her over; to ten-del-, care of Erie. It is probable, however, that "war economy' will prevent the. carrying out of th plan until after peace is declared. ' Textile Plants Stopped., . Stockholm, Jan. 12. Sweden's lex tiie factories, facing partial or com plete stoppage as, a result of the im possibility of securing wool', cotton and Jute,..-, are turning their attentibn to the manufacturing of textiles from woodpulp.

The Yaqui Indians -as been trouble maker of North western Mexico for generations, and h(s recent outbreak is but one of a . large number which have occured during the admlnistra- tionsc of l3iaz, Madero and other leac ers. . . ,; ... - ' Starting with the Bronco ' Yaquis along the Rio Y-aqui in Southwestern Sonora early: in September, the revolt has spread s,to- many of the allied tribes, including the Mansos Yaquis who have been peaceful in the past and who derived their names irom the fact they worked wfth their hands, v In the rich-Yaqui river valley of Southwestern S6norat the Indian up rising has had its Center. The Indian towns of Potam, Vacum, Bacmn, La Cclorada and Suaqui Grande haye been scenes of various Indian raids and Mexican Federal troops have been unable to make any greai head way in conquering these warring tribesmen. The revolt reached Its height after the fall harvests of corn, boans and garbanzo hd been harves ted and the Vlndiansf extended ther field of operations far into the north toward Hermoslllo'; the capital. Am munition and rifles were smuggled across the Sonora border for them and a number of engagements fought be tween the Yaquis and the Federal re sulted in the routing of the govern ment trctops,- The basic cause of the unrest among these Southwestern Mexico Indians is the land problem. At one time these Indians owned and tilled thousands of acres of the most fer tile land in the republic which was watered by the Yaqui river. These! lands were gradually confiscated by the various governments and parceled oal to favorites 6f the ruling powers. The Indians claim they were given in ferior lands in place of their original holdings and in&ist upon the restora tion of these tribal holdings. Ono American company now controls 300, 000 acres of land in the Yaqui country, much of which is claimed by tho Indians. . . The Yaqui tribes were 'orginally agricultural people with a bent for hunting in the -mountains during the winter. They are stocky, strud- ar d possess many or the traits of the Am erican Indian. Fighting has lately been one of J;heir chief occupations as they havebeen on the warpath either in their' own interest or for the various de facto governments for 15 years. During the days of President Diaz the Yaquis "Were dispossessed of much! of their fertile tIley lands by Gen eral Torries, the Federal government Sonora. Large numbers were deport; ed from the state by boat to the hoc lands of Yucatan and to Tres Marias Island, off the coast of Topic. This v-as one of the chief grievances which caused the. Yaqui war. This war con tjnued until the outbreak of the Madero revolution when the Indians joined with Madero against their sworn enemies of the old federal re gime. They did mueh of the hard fighting during the Madero and -subsequent re volutions, especially at Celaya whee they were General Obregon's cheit mainstay when" Villa and his power ful .army attacked the entrenched posi tions of Obregon's Carranza forces. Che Yaquis were given much of the credit for this victory which shattered Villa's 'dream of political power and d-ove him back to the border.

M. massacres. General Plutarco Elias Callea has undertaken a "mailed fist" campaign against the Yaqui Indians in Sonoru tq suppress the present uprising. He has interned the peaceful Yaquis in reconcentration camps and ,ha3 or dered all others' hunted down and kil led. Wholesale deportations to the fcot lands of Mexico have also been """eatened. tne aquis are divided mtT two classes. One is the "bronco Yaqui" which incudes the fiercest of thb fighters and the sturdiest of the tribesmen. The other class includes the "manses" of peaceful Indians. Numbers of. attempts " have been made" to convert these iln(lianft to peaceful ways. President Madero had nr commission of Indians visit, him in Mexico City. Later he sent a commission . to treat with the tribal leaders. But the Indians claimed they were not given back their prom ised lands and were soon on the war path. The present uprising is said hy officials of the government to be the most threatening since the lays of Diaz. ' BUILD BIG POWDER PLANT AT NASHVILLE Washington, Jan. 12.
