Washington.—“Charges Alone,' the full-blooded Arikara Indian of North Dakota who fully lived up to his name during the World war by killing or capturing 90 Germans single-handed, has had fulfilled his desire to be a letter carrier for Uncle Sam. Through executive order. President Coolidge authorised his appointment w 11 liout regard to civil service rules and Postmaster General New has proudly 1 taken him in. The war rec- ord of “Charges Aloffe,” or Thomas Rogers, as lie is known by his Ameri- canized name, won prompt appolnt- meat. 1 He has been assigned to Mun dan, N. D. Marshal Foch when In North Da kota on his American trip picked Tom out of the crowd of Indians and, plac Ing his hand on Ills shoulder, cried out: "Tom Rogers was the bravest sol dier in France.“ War Record Noteworthy. Tom never talks about his war rec- ord, but it is a noteworthy one. He was born at Fort Berthold, N. r».. June 4, 1891, attended the Santee (Neb.) Indian state normal school for six years, and on August 1, 1917. enlisted in the Second North Dakota regular Infantry. Arriving in Franc® about November 27, 1917, he was as- signed to the First division with the Eighteenth infantry, later being trans ferred to the intelligence section as observer, raider and sniper. “For three months prior to the battle of Soissons, Tom, who was a scout, was sent out every night to the German front to get information as to what organization was there, His manner of getting the desired Infor- mation was a novel one. A whlte lieutenant accompanied 1dm as far as It was safe to go; Tom then went on alone to the front, creeping through th<x grass, bushes and weeds, and, when a sentinel passed, captured hhft with Ids bare hands and took 1dm back to the American camp, where he was questioned. In case the sentinel attempted to give the alarm Toni ‘croaked’ him and carried his coat to camp. In 90 nights he was on this service, he did not make a single 1 fall ure to bring In Ids man or a coat, He brought In 33 of the latter.” One of 12,000 Indians. I Tom was hut one of the 12.000 In dlans who served with the Americans during the war and of whom 132 were killed and 87 wounded. When Presf dent Coolidge sent the thanks of the nation in the form of testimonials to the Indian tribes, Tom was designated to receive that for the Arikara tribe.

He lived just around the corner from the house. On bls last visit I began to think of wba' a fool I had been to treat this little faker in such a royal rashion. I told him I would place him a big dirty cell if he came in here again.” .jj* H J V Do you make the trip each payday from pay master to savings?
