RED INDIANS
STILL AT WAR WITH GERMANY. SINCE DECLARATION IN 1917. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) WASHINGTON, June 11. Delegates from all the Indian tribes will meet in Washington, where the “six nations of the Iroquois Confederacy will declare war against the Axis.” The State Department comments that there is a slight formal flaw in this solemn declaration, because the Iroquois nations declared war against Germany in 1917, and through a mistake failed to sign the peace treaty, therefore the Red Indians have formally never ceased their war status against Germany for the past 25 years.
