1 1 INURING our explorations, we found where
U willows had been cut, the ground dis
turbed and where horses had been driven over
and over the same spot. We
alwavs felt that was where ,
Lieutenant John C. Fremont's
party had been attacked by
the Indians and three of his
Delaware Indians killed by
the Modocs, who evidently had
followed them and surprised
them at night,
"Precaution caused us to
locate for the night on open
ground where we had a view
in every direction. The sig
nal fires were growing In num
ber and we decided the In
dians were wrought up as
their guilty conscience led
them to believe we were a
party come to avenge Fremont's men."
"Weren't you scared?" Frank whispered the
question.
"We were young and foolhardy, maybe. We
meant no harm to the natives, yet we didn't
know their feelings so not one of us was
right comfortable. We were fifteen men in a
strange country surrounded by several hundred
Indians if we could judge by the ever in
creasing signal fires. We had done nothing to
provoke them, of course, but we did not know
when we would be called upon to defend our
selves." The backlog, its frpnt having been con
sumed, fell forward with a crash and Ed
jumped a foot into the air. Frank laughed
nervously and Lindsay Applegate said placating
ly, "It's all right, son, I've felt just that way
myself,, many a time."
Here Aunt Ella said in her mild, pleasant
voice, "Dinner is ready. Come while the
biscuits are hot."
The two boys were reluctant to leave but on
the promise that they would hear the rest of
the laying out of the "southern emigrant road"
after the dishes were washed, trooped for the
dining room.
O. C. Applegate's wife and Ed's mother,
Mrs. George Walling, are sisters. The Wallings
came west in 1843.

News Behind The News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, March 22 The condition of
foreign affairs is apt to become more
deeply involved before it gets better.
The military man, Lt. Gen.-Walter Bedell
Smith, selected by Mr. Truman to go to Russia
as ambassador, has now been sent on his way
to Moscow, presumably with new instructions
on the course of Soviet-American affairs. My
guess would be General Smith will enter into
the confusing diplomatic fray with a purpose
of establishing the usual direct non-political np
proach. Diplomats seldom say what they
mean; military men speak directly. With them
it is a question of "What do you want?",
"What have you got?" and "What do you pro
pose to do?". The West Point schooling always
has taught practical considerations. For these
reasons I judge the permanent mission of Gen
eral Smith represents a fresh effort by this ad
ministration to establish some reasonable and
practical grounds for future Russian negotia
tions. Under-Interpreted Venture
THIS under-interpreted venture seems to me
to be equally as Important as the Iran
developments which are deeply involved in
diplomacy. The filing by the Iran government
of a protest against Russia with the United
Nations security council in its provisional na
ture, may have been too happily' interpreted
in tliis country. On its face it represented a
t decision by the Iranian government to stand
for its independence. .This naturolly has raised
American hopes that a new stanchion has been
built to resist the encroachments Russia has
been making upon the basic peace doctrine
of the four freedoms.
The wiles of diplomacy are such however,
that this conclusion must bo hedged. Some
underlying doubts in the situation can be found
upon analysis of the strength of the stanchion
In the first place, the new premier of the
Iranian government was established after the
Soviets had protested the resistance policy of
the former government head. The protest of
his minister here to UNO was made after his
recent visit to Stalin out of which many rumors
have grown.
One story accredited to British circles is that
the premier was told by Stalin not only that
an appeal to UNO would be considered an
unfriendly act as announced but his govern
ment would be replaced if he tried it. On the
other hand an unaccredited rumor here sup
poses that the protest will not be pressed be-
or reports on either side, the status of the
provisional agenda of the council that is it
may not be taken up. Regardless of rumors
on reports on either side, the status of the
protest, of course, is provisional. It can be
taken up by a vote of 7 members but a veto
by Russia would shelve it. "
'
Encouraging Development
WITH matters in this involved diplomatic
state, the dispatch of General Smith rep
resents the most encouraging development, and
a firmer one.
As nearly as I can judge, few authorities
are being swayed by the appeasement efforts
such as represented most conspicuously by the
speech of Senator Pepper. Big Three gather
ings were important from a publicity stand
point and were necessary when the foundations
of peace had not been laid. But now that the
agreements have been established, the problem
is to put them into effect.
My latest information suggests Russia has
nothing of a military nature which we -need
fear. Specifically she does not have the atom
bomb or early prospects of getting it. The
bomb formula is so deeply covered by arrange
ments for secrecy made during the war, that
it may be assumed to be safe.
The need for appeasement in the face of
Russia's threatening diplomatic position is there
fore not apparent.

Roundup in this space regularly, has been called

PARIS, March 22 (71) For
mer President Herbert Hoover
is launching his investigation of
the European
food shortago
without any
delusions as to
the gravity of
the position or
of the dangers
which develop
w h e n men's
minds a r o
ovcrwrou g h t
by hunger.
Ills recogni
tion ot the
crcat urgency
of the situation wits qullo appar
ent in a private conversation
which I, had with him on the
eve of his departure for Home,
where ho will continue his
study. His thirst for Information
impelled him to rob mo of my
prerogatives ns a reporter and
he proceeded to ply me with
questions about the position in
central Europe, which Mrs.
Mack and I have just toured.
lt was easy to see that he was
working from the encyclopaedic
knowledge which ho acquired
while food relief administrator
for Europe at the end ot the hist
war. I saw a great deal of him
at that time as un Associated
Press correspondent.
500.000,000 Hungry
His present problem makes
the dilemma of Old Mother Hub
bard look like the plenty of a
Sunday school picnic. U s esti
mated that there are some 500,
000,000 people hungry in va
rious parts of the world and the
experts tell us there's only
enough food for three-quarters
of them. We don't have to draw
diagrams to emphasize the grim
ness of that situation. It menus
thai a lot of people nro going to
dlo ot hunger before world pro
duction can catch up with tho
shortiiMU.
The position Isn't Urn sumo
now as it was urior tno ihmi war,
ivimii Mr. Hoover made lilinsell
famous us Europe's provlsloiitif.
Thun thu world hud prepared
ri- ih fund Hhoi'liiue which fol
lowed the first global conflict
and tho contingency count ue
met. llut now there Just Isn't tho
food ami there won t uo any
thlim Him eiiouilh food until alt'
or tho harvests several mouths
hence. No wonder Mr, Hoover
says tho next four monins are
the crucial ones.
Play Atlm
Ale points out Unit the Immo
diitte relief must coino from
North und South America, 'i'hut's
where the grain and other foot!
stnlfs ure. This mctinti thill Cull
uda, thu United Slates and the
Argentine have to play alius to
the world for a third of a year.
A third of u yearand what
tragedy win develop lit that tlinu
if the food emergency isn't met.
Mr. Hoover will find (und prob
ubly foresees it ulreiuly) thai
the passions of Europe uru being
swayed by hunger. Folk In the
hiird-lilt ureus ure reaching
willv-nlllv for new nolltlcul nos
trums In tho hope that they will
bring relief.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to extend our heart
felt tliunlts and uppreclntlim for
