According to statement is-
sued by Attorney Walter .1
Turnbull of the Choctaw In-
dians who has just returned
from a conference with Inter-
ior Department officials at
Washington the per capita
payment to the Choctaws this
year will be slightly under $200
owing to the fact that the In-
dians do not have money
enough to distribute that sum
among the members of the
tribe.
The bill as passed authoriz-
ing the payment specifies a
per capita distribution of not
over $200.00 which is flexible
and permits of any sum to that
amount.
The payment however is nw
due and as soon as necessary
arrangements can be complet-
ed the disbursement will com-

(JORi: ATTACKS LEAGUE
OP NATIONS
Senator Gore of Oklnhomi
was definitely placed among
the senators opposing the rat-
ification of the League of Nat-
ions this week when he broke
into print and cited faults with
the covenant specifically that
he thought the practical appli-
cation of Art. 10 should be limited.
The German National As-
sembly 'in session at Weimar
Germany Wednesday afternoon
voted to ratify the treaty of
peace the vote being 208 for to
115 against the resolution. The'
resolution provides that the
treaty shall be effective from
the date of Its promulgation.
While the war actually end-
ed so far as fighting is con-
cerned when the armistice was
signed peace was not at hand
until the German diplomats
signed the treaty and then the
war was not technically at an
end until the treaty was ratif-
ied. In accepting the treaty the
Germans now make it possible
for the allies .to lift the block-
ade against them which has
been very effective during the
war and which lias denied tho
Germans almost entirely of ac-
cess to other countries.
German financial experts al-
ready are busy on plnns for the
rehabilitation of the country
and it Is believed that with the
thrift anil industry of their
people. Germany should soon
recover and be able to pay the
indemnity in full.
