...Harney but he does not say what Gen. W. S. Harney did to the Indians. He does not mention the massacre of Little Thunder, a peaceful Chief who happened to have his camp in the line of Harney's march. He does not mention the Red Cloud war.

Fetterman and Custer paid with their lives for some of the atrocities committed against the Indians by soldiers and other whites. Since you copy only...
...TIME, Nov. 2, 1925, e seq.). It has long been Mr Mitchell's conviction that airplane development has made battleships obsolete, that Navy men have retarded aviation progress lest the fleets of the future should be exclusively fleets of the air.

During the World War he was Adjutant General of the A. E. F. In April, 1922, he was made Acting Adjutant General of the U. S.

...Year". In these same half dozen years Harvard crews have rowed as all crews row,--whole-heartedly, even valiantly. Some have been beaten badly, others have been kept with difficulty in the wake of Eli craft, but each year the result has been much the same and the early war cry has changed to the mournful notes of "Next Year". Thus it is with considerable trepidation that we utter the words, "This must be the Year...
