PLEADS FOR INDIAN FRIENDS

Mary Roberts Rinehart, the only woman correspondent who got to the actual fighting front in Europe and whose writings on the warfare filling many pages of the magazines, was in Washington a few days ago in the interests of her friends and tribal brothers, the Blackfeet Indians. Mrs. Rinehart, who lives in Pittsburgh, visited Glacier National park last summer after her return from Europe and was adopted into the Blackfeet tribe, whose reservation is adjacent to the park. In Washington Mrs. Rinehart visited both the president and Secretary Lane and through the latter was promised that extra rations would be issued to the Blackfeet to the coming winter.
