LON DON, Mar., 20— There would
be no more reason to forbid the use of
pas than to prohibit the employment
of rifles in the next war, says Major
General Sir Louis Jackson of the Roy
al Engineers, formerly in charge of
offensive pas production. There wei *
he declared, pascs which killed pain
lessly and it was easy to conceive cas
1 cs in which it would he more human'
! to use pas than explosive shells, ll
i mipht be possible to come to some ui
j ranpement whereby no pas should I t
used that caused unnecessary suffer
»ng.
In a recent address before somo tf
he leading lights in the military
j world he stated that the world was on
| ‘he eve of the most extensive modifi
cations in the art of war known to
history, and the changes made in the
recent war were only the befcinnimr.
Tt was necessary to develop new aims
with the knowledge in the next wa-.

Artillery would be much more mo

advance of 12 miles a day the gun:
muse be capable oi an ciiective bar

what a short 4.2 gun with an accuiuic

gun with a range of 20,000 yards
might meet the requirements of the
future.
He said that the future soldier must

initiative was considered not only un
necessary but dangerous. In addition
to his rifle the soldier should be able
to handle a Lewis or machine gun and
to help the artillery, lie should know

and be able to handle a ground wire

t’uebia after having been kidnapped
oy Mexican bandits.
The two principal papeis here, El
Mercurio and El Diaiio lllustrado,
treated the question from the p>im
of view of international law based up
on facts as reported by cable and sent
by the Mexican government to Mexi
can legations all over South America.
Both papers expressed the opinion
that Mexico had a right to judge Mr.
Jenkins, unless a miscarriugo oi just
ce were approved and that the Unit
ed States had no right to interfere.
The Mexican question was widely
discussed in Chile. It had a special in
terest for South America because of
ts bearing upon the attitude of the
United States toward one of the
Spanish American republics.
Americans here feel that Washing
ton should keep South American opin
on officially informed concerning the
relations of the United States with
Mexico. They say that the develop
nent of trade between North and
South America depends more upon
friendly sentiments than is generally
known, and that other manufactur
.ng countries realize this and are
ready to take advantage of every op
ening the United States may give
them.
H. C. L. IS HITTING
THE U. S. INDIAN WARDS
PARIS, March 20— The new
Sam’s Indian wards are troubled by
the high cost of living,, according to
Ike Jackson, “ambassador” of the Pit
River tribe, whose reservation is in
the mountains a few miles to the
northeast of here.
Jackson has just returned from
Washington, D. C., where he set forth
some of the problems of his tribes
men,and of northern California In
dians in general, before high officials.
He was accompanied on the trip by
Charles Green of Glenburn, sometimes
known as “Chief Grindstone. Both are
full blooded Indians.
The Pit River Indians contend that
the government owes them about $5,
500,000 for the lands they ceded in a
treaty signed in 1851. News dispatch
es from Washington stated that
search was being made in the arch
ivies of the White House for the trea
ty, which, though signed, was never
ratified. The Indians hold that it is
none the less binding in honor.
“We want money,” Jackson insist!,
“but we won’t keep it very long if wo
get it. White man soon have it all,
for Indians* hands have holes in
them.”
The red man declared that he was
listened to with attention by the au
thorities at the capital, ana treated
kiP'l.y and considerately by them.
“But I had to grease the wheels for
them,” he added.
Jackson, whose home is in Klamath
Kails reservation, made a trip through
Modoc, La-sen, Plumas and Shasta
countries, Cal., visiting every Pit Riv
or Indian and sizing up their needs
before he set out for Washington.
