TALES OF THE M$pttIiMp«cton A<4t# *» CHIEFS Every Frontier MEN SEEK CURRENCY Vienna.--It used to be--bade before the world economic nightmare began-- that your baggage was thoroughly searched and mauled over every time you crossed a European frontier, which was every few4 hours In this neck of the woods, writes William Shlrer In the Chicago Tribune. Not any more. Today, It's your pocketbook the frontier officials want. In the scramble for your money--especially if it Is "gold" money, that fa, dollars or francs--they hare forgotten about yoqr luggage completely. In Germany and the states of central Europe and the Balkans It has become & grave offense to have one of them with more than a little pocket money on you. Only with a special permit from the national bank or a special stat^p in your passport showing how much you h&ve brought In (which most frontier guardsmen con* venently forget to give yon) can you get by with as much as you brought In or Indeed with enough to last yon to the next capital. Sid* Step Cseeh Border* I recently ran the gauntlet from Bucharest to Berlin. I crossed three frontiers the ttumanlan-Hiingai-lan, the Hungarian-Austrian, and the Austrian-German. At the last, going from Vlenns to Berlin, It would have been shorter to go via Prague. But that meant meeting Czech officials coming in and going out and those with business to do had been duly warned that the inspection of one's purse in Csechoslovakla was sometimes very severe. One frontier Skipped may have meant days and money saved, not to mention troubles The Orient express coming from Bucharest to Budapest reaches the Rumanian-Hungarian frontier at 3:15 a. m. Since It is an all sleeper train, many passengers are attempting to sleep at that hour. The joke Is on them as It was on me, because I was trying to sleep, too. There were loud bangs on the compartment door. Swift kicks from a horse couldn't make them any louder. I scrambled for the light, switched It on, unchained the door, and opened It. Three plain clothes men with a couple of uniformed officers behind them crowded into the tiny compartment I told them I ^lidn't hare anything to declare, but that they could take a look at my bags and a typewriter If they wished to. They didn't wish to. 'Tour purse," shouted ona-*4a tierman. 'Tour purse," shouted the iecond one--in Hungarian. The third said it in another language, probably Rumanian. Anyway, I got the Idea. They want* ed my purse. • "What's this? A train robbery," I cried out sleepily In the first language that came to me, probably a mixture of English, German, French. "No. It's not a robbery. It's customs Inspection. Give us your purse. We want to see your money," one of them explained. We Jawed back and forth In what seemed like hours, but probably was only a few minutes. The train porter came in to help us, adding a few new languages which had not been Introduced before. But we were no match for these frontier men and finally In sheer exhautlon I gave In, reached for my pants, grabbed my pocketbook and turned It over, glad for a chance to rest and sleep even If my money was gone. Moftey Is All Therer That really 1s all there Is te It. After a while, about the time you are really asleep again the officials come back with your pocketbook. You wake up. You count your money. It is all there. The train moves on a few miles. The Hungarian officials climbed In. The attack was renewed. This time I handed over my pocketbook meekly. The officials did not bother me much this time because I had the proper Btamps put on my Hungarian visa when I left Hungary a few days before. So ydu Journey on through Budapest. And then you come to the Hungarian- Austrian frontier. The old story repeats Itself. And so to Vienna. By this time you are used to handing your pocketbook over to the first man that asks you for It This Is quite a dangerous frame of mind, because the streets of Vienna swarm with singing beggars who ask for your money. Such are the pleasures of European travel In these dark days. They are hard on tourists or business men or newspaper men. But they must be great for smugglers. Sobody ever thinks to look In your bags any more. Sdldtft L Watson CORNPLANTER Now Testament Writings The New Testament was originally written in "Greek. It is not claimed that any of the manuscripts written by the apostles themselves are In existence, but numerous early copies In use In the Christian churches of Europe, Asia and Africa, from which the New Testament was translated into Latin and other languages, are preserved in the Vatican library at Rome, In various monasteries, and other places. The Scriptures were "first translated into English by John Wlckllffe between 1374 and 1380 A* ^? Mather'* Belief in Witcho* . Cotton Mather did literally subscribe to belief in witchcraft. In 1685 he wrote "Memorable Providences Relating to Witchcraft and Possessions," In which he told of cases he had observed. During the Salem witchcraft excitement In 1692 he published "Wonders of the Invisible World" to confirm believers In that kind of demoniac possession. Try oar classified ads for aulck tale classified Cernplanter ~ "I®# Seneca boys who played their village on the Geoesse river (New York), noticed th&t one of their number was much lighter of complexion than thp rest This boy who was so different-looking was called Cornplanter, and the reason for his paler skin was that his father was white. The father was indifferent to t&» fate of his half-Seneca soi£ After he was grown, the young man went to Albany to see his parent, but though the white man treated him well enough, he omitted the gifts Which utean so much to the Indian heart and seat him back no wiser, and certainly ne happier, than he had eoaie. < Cornpianter, however, was Indian by inclination, and soon threw all his la terests into those of the tribe, baeom log a chief. In this capacity he proved to be one of the greatest Seneca leaders, and the British forces owed muotf to Cornplanter's ability during the Revolutionary war. In 1779, General Sullivan and his American troops invaded the Seneca country. The Indians were powerless to stay the advancing army, which burned and destroyed as It went, showing the Sencca that the colonies were strong and that they bad chosen badly when they united (reluctantly though it had been) with the British cause. "The great fighting chief," as Hewitt calls him, tried to make a stand on the shores of Canandaigua lalft, and endeavored to rally his men to the fight, hoping to drive off the American troops. As their army advanced, however, many of the Seneca lost heart. They began a retreat, melting away from the spot where they feared to die. Cornplanter was furious at their cowardice Placing himself before them, he harangued them in the effort to revive their enthusiasm, but to no avail. Red Jacket, the leader of the retreating Indians, could not be dissuaded, and branding him as a coward, Cornplanter was forced to see him go, taking many Senecas with him. The chief was party to many of the treaties between the Seneca and the United States, In which their lands were conveyed to the white men. At %rst, the Indians allowed these cessions of land as being necessary, and placed no blame on Cornplanter for his part In the treaties. As their chief, he visited Philadelphia in 1790, to tell General Washington the story of his people and the grievances of which they complained. Six years later, the chief was given a tract of 640 acres by Pennsylvania, In recognition of his valuable services to the white people. He owned more than this amount of land adjoining the grant, forming a fine holding on the banks of the Allegheny river. Thus far, he had flourished, but he had not always been happy. The treaties which he had signed, ceding Seneca land to the white men, finally caused the Indians to hate him. In fact, he was in danger of murder at times from the incensed Seneca, al- [ though they had willingly chosen him *• to represent them, though knowing 'i that he was friendly to the whites. - His favorite son, on whom Cornplanter had lavished every advantage (per-' haps trying to make up for his father's" neglect of himself) became a drunkard.1 His pension, of $250 a year, was uncer-{- tain. The blame of his people weighed" on him, whether he knew it to be Justified or not. He was a very old and very lonely man. Then, In his age, the Great Spirit of the Indians came to him and spOke. White men had given him a beautiful sword and belt, relics, medals, and other gifts. The Spirit told him that he was wrong to preserve these or to associate further with their givers. He had prospered through the white men, it is true, but he had also suffered through them. Had they never come Into his life, he would have avoided all the troubles which beset him-- troubles which were clearly attributable to the white men and their ways. The old chief broke the sword «nd burned the belt. All his life he had been associated with the white people, and had gained and lost from the contact. He was an Indian--that half of his blood which was white had been given, long ago, In white men's service. He looked back on almost a century of life, and wondered what it had gained him. And so, on February 18, 1836. Cornplanter went to find the answer to his questions, at the summons of the Great Spirit (•, 1IM, Western Newspaper Unite?)
