uERMAN PROPAGANDA
AMONG MEXICANS FAILS
UTTERLY SAYS BANKER
EG PASO. Tex.. Oct. 29. German
propaganda has failed utterly in Mex
ica and. in spite of the activities of
the German colony ihere, both the
national capital and the republic are
pro-ally in their sympathies, said Ed
gar \V. Kayser, a banker, on his re
turn from there.
"The Germans have been spending
large sums of money in spreading pro
paganda throughout the republic but
the campaign has failed completely,
so far." Mr. Kayser said. “Two doors
from the German propaganda office
in Mexico City Is the allied propagan
da headquarters, marked by a shining i
star. These rooms were crowded with j
Mexicans and foreigners looking for J
authentic information about the prog- j
ress of the war. The German offices J
were deserted.
"The Mexicans are now for the al
lies, with only a few exceptions. The J
statement of one Mexican merchant i
in Mexico City is typical. He said, I j
could not believe my eyes, for Arner- J
ica has done in a year what no other j
nation could have done. We are com- '
ing to realize what a true friend we j
have on the north and we congratu j
late you upon having for a president ;
a man who stands for the things we
In Mexico have been lighting for dur
ing the past six years..’ ’’

U. of W. Has a
Fine Collection
of Indian Relics
SEATTLE, Oct. 29.—Gambling
sticks, rounded, smooth and num
bered In neat little figures, shaman's
ceremonial rattles, carved In gro
tesque figures and painted gaudily in
rod and yellow, are among the Thlin
git Indian collection in the Univer
sity of Washington museum. This
exhibit has been improved steadily
since its installation a few years ago,
and now It Is said to be unsurpassed.
The collection shows tho notable
use made by the Thlingits of totemsic
characters in the decoration of their
homes, grave posts, and even of cloth
ing and tools. Instances are masto
don ivory clubs used for killiug sal
mon after the fish has been caught
on bone hooks. The finely-colored
club heads have been carved to repre
sent the bear, whale, shark and hea
ver, all totemic symbols.
It was the Thllngit. the Haldn and
Tslnshlan tribes of Southern Alaska
who originated the use of animals for
designs in decoration, it is sad, and
from the use of anmals has come the
use of symbols, end finally tho adap
tation of tho animal figures to the
space, to be filled. The style of the
Indian decorators in all instances
shows a nice sense of balance. The
lines are never regular, the curves
are “crowded" in a peculiar forced
manner.
To (he carven figures color usually
is added. Several totem poles in ttie
collection are gay in bright figures,
and the totemic designs applied to
blanket*!, hats, treasure boxes and
ceremonial robes are colored in bril
liant tones. The minerals used for
the colors are ground up in small
stone dishes, mixed with water and
salmon spawn and applied with small
wooden paddles Stiff brushes of por
cupine quills also are used.
Basket work of the Thlingit Indians
: remarkably firm and nliant. Few
of the weaves are thought unworthy
of decoration, and nearly all tie- be'*’
and brown ba i ots ha\ ■ ornament1
of geoi .etri al design Toteteir !'•■
-res used to decorate the conical h -t
are \ .-led cleverly to anil the shapes
of Ml. headgear.
