POLICE SCOPE
OF BRAVE LADS
IS EXTENDED
OTTAWA, March 18 (by Associat
ed Press).—Wearers of the “scarlet
and gold” of the North West Mount
ed Police—recently renamed the Roy
al Canadian Mounted Police—are
now charged with the enforcement of
federal laws in all provinces of Can
ada, It is, for instance, as though the
New York police force had its beat
extended from the metropolis to San
Francisco. Many of these intrepid
officers are sons of aristocratic fam
ilies and are veterans of the Great
W#u-4
The metamorphosis of the great or
ganization known as the North West
Mounted Police, organized in 1873,
when the great Canadian North West
was a sort of “No-Man’s Land,” re
calls some of the heroic exploits of
its members. One of the earliest of
these was the nervy action of the
late General Sir Sam Steele, then a
sergeant. A camp of hostile Cree
Indians were obstructing the building
of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Sergeant Steele, accompanied by a
constable, rode into the midst of the
camp, and while the red skins in
dulged in promiscuous shooting and
war whoops, calmly ordered Chief
Pie-A-Pot to get out within ten min
utes.
FTM 1 • n • .
xjic vmei lftiiuimg ins orner, steeie,
g^bed in a striking red coat, dis
mounted. leaped over Pie-A-Pot’s
squatting figure, through the tepee
door and-^dcked out the center pole,
bringing down the tent on Pie-A-Pot
and his squaws.
The audacity of Steele’s act in thus
man-handling the head of the tribe
overawed the Indians and they at
once started to obey his order.
Of the many international cases
handled by the mounted police, one
of the most famous was that of Sit
ting Bull who, after wiping out Gen
eral Custer’s band in 1876, sought to
use the Canadian border territory as
a, base of further operations against
the Americans. With a mere handful
of men the mounted police were able
to control the Indians.
The remarkable endurance of mem
bers of the force have been frequent
ly mentioned in the press. The death
of the Fitzgerald patrol on the Fort
McPherson-Dawson trail in 1910-11,
when Inspector Fitzgerald, with Con
stable Carter, died on duty, was a no
ftble instance. The bodies of the four
mgn who had perished on the long
trail were afterward found. The men
had struggled on to the last, killing
their dogs and even eating part of
the harness. Fitzgerald, the last to
survive, was found dead with his
diary and a mail bag under his body.
The Bathurst Inlet Patrol made a
two and one-half year journey into
the Arctic, covering 5.000 miles in
sledges, on snowshoes and afoot to ar
rest two Eskimos for the killing of
Padford and Street, two white men
slain in 1912. They found the Eski
mos and brought them to court.
Many other interesting stories are
told of these guardians of the peace.
At the present time recruiting for the
force has virtually stopped because
of a lack of barrack accommodations.
YANKEE INGENUITY
TRIUMPHS ONCE AGAIN
|l -._
PHILADELPHIA, March 18 (by As
sociated Press).—Yankee ingenuity
has triumphed in far off Belgian Con
go. The American steamer Ogonitz,
built at Hog Island last May as an
oil burner, ran short of fuel at Ma
tadi. Captain H. Kerr managed in
21 hours to convert her into a coal
burner. After discharging its cargo,
the Ogonitz steamed nearly 1,000
miles to Las Palmas Island and ob
tained a supply of fuel oil. She was
reconverted into an oil burner there
and returned to New York.

The strike began Tuesday.

Two other reservations were de

British protectorate over Egypt, and
the |>ther declaring that the terms of
the armistice were still effective.
