II Geneva-A committee report cun· earning acceptance of American res· orations to membership In the world j court Thursday was accepted by a delegl!lte conference, after which that body adjourned. As a result of the adoption of the report, the United States will be invited to participate in the drawing up of a special protocol which will translate the five American reservations Into the language of the court and the covenant of the league of nations. After adjournment the del· egates began signing the final act embodying a draft of the protocol which will be forwarded to ·washington both In behalf of the conference and the indiviuual states involved. 1 The protocol as finally a --;reetl upon, 1 after considerable debate, will give the right to the powers in the court to withdraw their aproval of American reservations if they see fit later Sir Francis remarked that the for· mer German territory of western Samoa i~ separated only by a n:1rrow strip of water from American Samoa. l He said that partly because of this proximity and poartly because of the prev.-ar treaties between German and the lTnited States, questions already have arisen and others probably ~ill arise in the futur'l between the Umted States and :t.ew Zealand. ! I j 'I I ~· ,. 1c:aragua 5 oon t o 4 By ELMO SCOTT WATSON li' l'HESE. 'T plans are can· leu out, the United States !il to have u new national n10nument wherein will be commemorated t'1e name and fame of the greatest native military genius this country has "'·er !mown, rt re>d man who ltns heeu call"d hy mllltary experts, who k~1ow whereof they Rpeak, "the Indian Napoleon." He Is Chief .Toseph of the Nez Perces, and linked with his name In the proposed memorial will be that of one of our most. successful Indinn fighters, the late Gen. Nel~on A. Miles. F'or years the re~idents of Chlnoolt, ~!ont., and maine couuty lla ve sou~ht tQ have set aside as a national memorial the site of the battlefield In the Bear I'Rw mountains where General Miles and Chief Joseph fought a five-day engagement and where just 49 years ngo this month took place one of the most dramatic surrender scenes In all American history. Now It ~eems likely thnt the ambition of these Montanans to honor these two great warriors will be realized, and It Is believed that the new national monument will he erected by presidential proclamation within the next year. It this Is done a shaft probably will be erected on the site of the surrender and the dedication will take place a year hence, on the fiftieth anniversary of the event. Not only Is the name of Clllef Joseph to he emblazoned on this shaft but further honor Is being paid him by one of America's foremost sculptors. Cyrus Dallln, already noted for his Indian sculptures, has begun work on a memorial wherein, according to press dispatches, he "hopes to Immortalize In bronze the bravery, patience, loyalty and sorrow of the American Indian." Tbnt be· !ng his ambition It was Inevitable that he should choose Chief Jos~:nh for his subject, for there never has been an Inifian of whom bravery, patience, loralty and sorrow were more characteristic and the story of him and of his people, the Nez Perces, Is a pathetic page In American history. It Is a Ftory, too, which reflects little credit upon the American people, oJue of those sordid stories of greed and oppresRion of a weaker race which has so often marked the relations of white men and red. I"rom time llllmemorlal the Nez Perces had dwelt In the vast regitm in Idaho, Oregon and Washington, including the valleys of the Snake, Salmon, Clearwater and Grande Ronde rivers. In 185:5 Gov. Isaac I. Stevens of \Vashlngton territory made a treaty with the Nez Perces confirming their title to their ancestral horne, but In 1863 by a new treaty with the tribes of the Northwe~t the lanrls of the ~e7. I'Nces were greRtly reduced. Old .Joseph of the !\ez Perces declined to sign the treaty, even though other chiefs did, refused to live on the propo~ed resen-atlon and rontinu€'d to occupy the fertile terrltory, €'specially the beautiful Wallowa vu!lt>y, which his people loved most of all. Old .To!=!eph died In 11'72, bequeathing to his son Young .ToReph, Wlwse Indian name, "II!n1 ruaton Ynhlatklt," hns the impre~slve meanln.g ot "Tlmnuer Rolling in the Mountains," his love for the Wallowa \'alley and his opposition to giving it up to the encroad1!ng whites. }'or the next four years there was con tan t ft'lctfon between the whites and the Indians and In nearly e•·ery case the whites were the aggressors. Finally In 1876 a commission decided, In defiance of all right, that the !\ez Pet·ces must go on the reservation assigned them and Gen. 0. 0. Howard, commander of the military department of the Columbia, was or dered to carry out the decis ion . After sever al councils w lth the Indians, Chief J oseph agreed to obey the order of the comm ission and go on t h e r eser vation. He d id t his only because he felt t hat It woul d be better to submit to lnjustf,·q th an t o provoke a war in which he knew f \\'ell hi'l people would IneYitahly lose. Unfortunately Bome of hll'l hot hlooded young warriors refused to abltle by hi;; decision. On .rune '1;~. 1877, the\ munlc ~l'll sp1·eral ~>ettlers.

Chief Josep!t was ahPent from camp at the time, collectiug some of his !'<'littered tribesmen ill preparatlou for removal to the reservation. When he returned he found that the die was cnst nu<l that h!il was committed to war. Even then he waR resolved to ma!<e It n defensive war and not an offensive one and he conceived the bold plan of fleeing with his people to Canada, fighting only It the white men halTed Ills path to treedom. Then began one of the most remarkable retreats In history. One hlstoriun of the Nez Pen·e war has written: "Xennplwn has chronicled the retrt•at of the ten thousand; De Qu!ncey has romanced about the migration of the Tartars; a thom;and pens have recorded the annihilation of the Grand Army of ~apoleon: the story of .Toseph and lJis Ne7. Perces I my t h erne-the story of the bitterest 1njustlce toward a wealr but Independent people to which the United States ever set its hand and of a mllltary exploit of the first magnitude, which justly entitles this great Indian to take rank · among the great Captains." Undaunted by the almost Insuperable dltllcultles of his problem-that of transporting a whole tribe, men, women ll!Hl chllllren, ovet· a thousand miles or more of the rou~hest country on the North American coat!nent und breaking through the lines of military bnrrJpr which were eertain to be thrown out to Intercept him, Chief Joseph set out. General Howard acted promptly upon hearing of the murders of the settlers. He began concentrating all available troops at strategic points. The first engagement took place on June 17 In Wlllte nlrd canon •where Ca11taln Perry and a small body of troops rode Into a trap which Joseph had prepared for him und were dl><astrously defeated. In this battle the Indian chief In the handling of his men first showed those qualltle!l' of military leatler,;hip which was a promise of the stern task before the soldiers hflfore they could hope to obey the orders from 'Yash!ngton After Perry's defeat General Howard took the field himself and the great chase was on. Howard himself has puld high tribute to the mllltangeniljs or his opponent and in the wE-eks that t 0 i. lowed Chief J o~eph amply proved that he wu!' worthy of all praise. For the Indian 1'apoleon proved that he underRtood the Little Corporal's tactics of defl'atlng the enemy in detail antl uld It.

Then having distanced his punmers and knowing that he was only 50 miles from the Canadian line and safety (for he did not know of the npproach of General Miles' troops) he ma<le the fatal mistake of stopping for a little while to give ills weary trii.Jesmen a chance for a brief rest.
