Government Wants ta Help
"The government wants the vet
eran who lost bis pre-war occupa
tion because of injury or sickness
in the service to be trained to bold
a position calling for at least as
much remuneration aa the one
which he left to go to war. In
most Instances those of the 00
rehabilitated veterans of the Pa
cific nrthwest , who have secur
red employment are receiving
more money for their services
than they did on the job they held
before the war. Records show that
disabled former service men in the
northwest are becoming rehabili
tated more rapidly in proportion
to the population than in any sec
tion of the United States. A total
of 1375,000 a month is being paid
into the hands of veterans of this
district to pay for their keep
while in training. The amount
paid per month in straight com
pensation to injured veterans Is
approximately $300,006. These
sums are paid to a total of more
than 8000 memn."
Work Increasing

work of the veterans' bureau has
Increased so rapidly that at the

Smithsonian Investigator
Finds Art Developed
Among Alaskans
W. Reid Dick, noted English sculptor, has jusi completed this bronze of the late VIscounc Bryce.
which Is to be presented In duplicate to the people ot the United States. One of the busts will go to Wash
ington., the other to the Trinity Church, .In New York. They will be unveiled In September, when a delega
tion composed of members of the Sulgrave Institution will visit America. The picture, taken In the sculp
tor's studio, shows (from left to right) Mr. Reld Dick, Lady Bryce and Sir Charles Wakefield. The in
scription on the iJedestal reads: "James, Viscount Bryce, Friend and Ambassador to the American People
and Interpreter of American Institutions,' and the dates of Lord Bryce's birth and death, with the name of
the donor.
present time more than $1,000,
000 a day is being paid directly
into the hands of disabled veter
ans. With the completion of a
new veterans' hospital in Walla
Walla, Wash., the problem, of
properly caring for veterans in the
northwest district suffering from
tuberculosis has been. met. Tuber
culosis and mental trouble among
former service men are increasing
steadily despite the fact that the
war ended more than three years
ago, the government representa
tive stated. It Is planned to care
for mental cases among veterans
at a new hospital in Washington
to be built from money provided
by the 117,000,000 Langley bill
appropriation. It is estimated by
medical experts among veterans
that there are 2 500 former service
men in the three Pacific northwest
states now afflicted with some
kind of mental or nervous trouble.
Warning Issued -Veterans
with claims pending in
the United States veterans' bu
reau are warned not to have deal
ings with private agencies claim
ing that they' can secure immedi
ate action on compensation re
quests. Retainer fees paid these
agencies are a total loss, as no in
dividual or concern has any influ
ence or "pull", with the veteran's
bureau and all cases will be given
earnest and prompt attention. Ex
service men's organizations and
the Red Cross are many times of
material assistance to veterans in
the building up of their compensa
tion claims.

CEDAR RAPID, la., June 20.
Ellis Cutting of this city rode
into the Taller ot death with the
immortal six hundred.
Sitting at his nome here this
man who rode "Into the aws ot
death, into the mouth ot hell,"
recalls the charge of the light
brigade at Balaklava, in the Cri
mean. -war. He saw Captain Ko
lan, saure young aide-de-camp ot
the British commander. Lord
Raglan, dash up and hand Lord
Lucan, cavalry commander, a
note. Mr. Cutting, then a 17-year-old
British trooper, did not
know what the note contained.
History says it contained these
terse orders: a--'
, "Lord Raglan wishes the caval
ry to advance rapidly to the front
and try to prevent the enemy car
rying away the guns French car
airy is on your left."
Cutting saw his commander
thrust that note, into his glove
before its bearer rode away.
Command Given
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
The command rang. There was
a flash of sabers. Down into the
valley dashed the line of British
horsemen, to certain destruction.
Cutting, who for 45 years was
a railroad employe at Iowa Falls
and Cedar Falls, retired two years
ago and is now making his home
in this city. He is now 85 years
old and was 17 when he enlisted
in the Eleventh Hussars of her
majesty, Queen Victoria. Mr. Cut
ting believes he is among the last,
if not the last, of the men who
were immortalized by Tennrson.
He vividly recalls the charge.
He says he saw nothing, knew
nothing, heard nothing but felt
within him the Insane urge that
drove him forward with a furious
desjre to bury his saber in a Rus
sian breast,
i . Cardigan Was Leader
The Light Brigade," Mr. Cut
ting says, "was composed of the
Fourth and Thirteenth Dragoons,
the Eighth and Eleventh Hussars
and the Seventeenth Lancers. It
was commanded by Lord Cardi
gan. The men wore. red trousers
and bluejackets which gained for
them the name of 'Cherrylegs.'
"The brigade had been lying
Inactive during the progress of
the fighting until the order to
charge came. The battle had
hardly begun until it was over.
Blindly a few stragglers, clamber
ing over moaning comrades,
straggling through heaps of dead
and . dying, horses and men in
death throes, pools ot blood,
fought their way to the rear of
the line."
y. Only Six Returned
; iMr. Cutting disagrees with his
tory . as 'to the number who re
turned. He says there were only
six.
; He was. asked what was the se
cret of the futile and merciless
command. Cutting said Lord Rag
lan denied to Lord Lucan that he
had ever given the order to charge
and that then Lord Lucan pulled
the order from his glove where
he had tucked it.
that your handwriting?'
Lord Lucan asked. .
Mr. Cutting does not' know
what the reply was, but for ten
minutes he saw them engaged In
a battle of words. He believes
Lord Raglan gave it in goofl faith
but that Instead of rushing In the
cavalry, the infantry should have
been .sent In to maneuver.
Cutting went to India with the
British troops and passed through
the mutiny. He marched from
Delhi to Lucknow and .fought in
that famous siege. Once he was
wounded. He passed through
Egypt and was in active service
in South Africa In 1857. In June
I860 he received his discharge
from the British army and in 1S71
he came to the United States.

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, June 20.
Indian totem poles of Alaska
are aa beautiful and as interesting
as the Parthenon of old Crocce,
according to Dr. P. T. Waterman,
who is in Alaska studying the to
tem poles tor the Smithsonian in
stitute. Along the Alaska coasts the to
tem poles are disappearing and
Dr. Waterman was sent north by
the Institute, at the request of the
United States government, to
make a study ot them and record
their history before they are all
gone. In the native, village of
Kassan, near Ketchikan, he found
a large group of poles.
Dr. Waterman aays he found
that totems were used not ony
for memorial shafts but also were
used by thte early Indians as re
ceptacles for the bodies of their
dead.
Vivid. Colors Used
The first totem poles wore
beautifully carved by professional
carvers who used flat ' colors,
made from local minerals. Dark
red and deep blue and black were
used In coloring and not the gau
dy yellow,, bright red and blu
which were found on later poles.
Each totem had its own name
and the naming cf the pole was
the occasion among the Indians
for & potlach and the giving of
presents. "Moving up Higher"
was the name of one pole belong
ing to the Roven tribe and "Bear
Kneading" was the name of an
other, getting its name from the
way in which a bear walks, a
movement similar to that ot
woman kneading bread.
Czar Pictured
In one village Dr. Waterman
found a pole on which was carved
the figure ot Alexander II, who
was czar of Russia when Alaska
was sold to the United States. Al
exander was pictured as wearing
a frock coat, epaulets and pocket
flaps. This Dr. Waterman be
lieves, was, to show the contempt
of the Indians for a czar who
"could not hold."
Dr.. Waterman expects to spend
another month Jn southeastern
Alaska studying totem poles be
fore returning to Washington. D.
C. He has devoted the past 12
years to Indian research work.
