PEOPLE WITHOUT A HOME 1 Hennonltes Unable To Find Haven Of Rest. conscierciouslyTpposed to war ' 0 I Peculiar People Who Had Their Orgin' In Holland In'Tho Fifteenth Century, Migrated To Russia For Liberty Of Conscionco, And Then To The United States For The Same Rorson ?Now They Turn To Argontina, 1 In the midst of an epoch of intense 1 nationalism and 4ho struggle of those who are striving loyally to preserve . " it, this contingent is confronted with 1 the struggle for self-determination of a * people without a country, and hero in v the midst of our own people. r Nor are they new comers. The 1 Mennonites came to the United States li^ 1683, at tho- invitation of William r - - Finn, and founded a settlement r.t * . . . Gormantown. They had started their e wanderings In Holland, in the fifteenth * century, spreading into Germany and r l> J ' from there, to Russia. . It was from 8 Russia that they came in 16S3, to be r followed by a continuous stream of their brethrem, ull seeking the haven 1 nj-t. } in which they could live ttti one way 4 they chose to live. 1 ii ^ Dwell Witnin Themsolves. a From the first they have dwelt wholly n within themselves, taking but little in- d terest in politics, and deeply concerned only In their own religion and their d own y:ChooIs. fci'1873 they dent a com- y v mittee to congress with a memorial 81 * which set forth that: t( "For thrde generations our denom- e ination has lived in south Russia un- 3 der their own control, free to enjoy, as v, a separate colony, our own religion. language and customs, tho Russian 5 ^ government only interfering to pur.iBh c crimes and collect its revenues. Now, f, ^ . by recent edict of the'Russian gov- 1 ernhaent, passed the 4th of June, 1E71, r' we arc deprived of all these rights, 11 ** ? *' ' liberties and privileges, which had 0 been granted to us forever, and the 8 ft choice is presented to us of leaving S( Russia within ten years from tho b above mentioned date, or after that becoming Russionizcd in lansruago and || religion. "In Prussia, where we lived for more r< .. than 200 years in the liberty of con- ci science, the government acted the a same- We have therefore determined c to emigrate to some country where wo t< . can enjoy civil, so<*ial and religious t< liberty. By examining your constitu- e tion and country we And the full as- a surance that under your constitution tl and laws we shall llnd the liberty We tJ so earnestly desiic. and the sentiments S expressed by President Grant, In his Ii message on Mlarch 3, 1873,. give us e! great encouragement." 1< It is not known that congress took o: ' any action on the memorial, but the e< Mennonites proceeded with the belief ir that their expectations were in no ei danger of being questioned: In 1874 it (Uii they began going to South Dakota, 41' which territory, being mtdtr in tvttr ? of settlers, made cordial efforts to at- si tract them. The South Dakota Men- a III nonitles call themselves the Huttereich f: Bruder Gemeinde. They took up land w t j in colonies of fifteen or twenty fam- ii ilies?some even being as large as t 1 forty families?and proceeded to live n practically the same community lif^ s< t, and teach the same doctrines as those d preached by their religious foun ler, a Simons Mcnno, in Holland, in the flf- b teenth centufy. 3 j One of the first things that each ? community built was a mill. Some- w times all the families of a community a )|( ( live in one square, barnlike house v/lth t< many windows and sometimes each w i j j one has a cottage of its own. They w use a common pasture, with a com- c ^ ? mon shepherd, and they still burn fuel b t j made out of manure and straw. There ii , , is a huge community barn, and a e \ church and school in one. No pleas- b ures or adornments of life are per- n mitted. Especially forbidden arc jew- h , elry, buttons and ornaments. Roth o * ** ' the men and women of the Mennonitc li OUR FARMER FRIENDS.

Each community has a boss, or splrtual leader, who is also the minister ind school teacher, and usually a business head as well. They have a oomhunity bakery, wash house, shoe shop, dacksmith shop, carpenter shop and lewlng room. The community dining oom is a huge, bare plate furnished vith nrimitivo benches and tables. Hie young people are usually kept i part, but arc herded together at ceraln sessions of the year for social inercourse. Tho elders, however, keep he arrangement of marriages mostly n their own hands. Mennonitec Not Disturbed. When the war clouds gathered over he woild the Mennonltes were not listurbed, for they (lid not believe in rar. They kept on living plainly, leaccfully and primitively, as they had >een doing and meant to keep on dong, and meant tjieir children's childen to keep on doing, as their saneifled leader had taught their forefathra to do. They did not contribute to dberty Bonds, for their money must lot go to support wars. They did not :ive to the Red Cross and their young nen did not volunteer. And then one day they found that he Unlfed States, to which they paid axes, did not think it sufficient that hey live in peace amtfng themselves nd with their neighbors- It expected lore of them. It was in danger and it emanded their support Their p^oest that they did not believe in war id not seem to be understood. Their oung men ttero drafted either to a ervico they disliked or to a prison >rm a Ldhertv loan committee wait d upon them. When they would not ubscribe a way was devised by which tie committee started back to Yankan in charge of a thousand head of heep, which were sold and the proeeds given to the war fund. And then quietly and resignedly the lennonites started to look up a new efugc. They choso Canada, especially tie Saskatchewan district, and the exdus began. In little communities and roups they went, as fast as they could all their land. Their rich fields were ought often for but half their value, >r the Mennonites are not mercenary. Things Not Alt Right. But now, even before all the brethsn have left South Dakota, word omes frotin Canada that they are not 11 right there- Already the Saskathewan colony is selling Its land to go > Argentine^ for the members refuse > ob^y the new law abolishing forign language schools in the Dominion, nd will not send their children to) le school provided for' th6m. Altough Mennonites speak Russian, the askatchewan colony speaks German, i a test cast last month in Manitoba leven Mennonites were fined for negating to send their children to school r make satisfactory provision for their lunation. So the few still remaining i South Dakota arc undecided whethr to join their dissatisfied brethren 1 Canada or go directly to Argentina. One little story that has escaped the levnuntte censor is so appealing ax 'to Emulate an appetite for more, such s must be hidden away In a social ibrlc that is even thus thinly crossed lth threads of self-determination and idivldual will. A young man of the colony had sached the age where ho was to be ?nt out into the world. He was to rive alone to Yankton, twenty miles way, with a load of grain anrd bring ack the money for it. He was given 5 cents for his expenses; 25 cents for smething to cat and ten/cents for amething to drink, for the Mcnnonltes re not prohibitionists. He was not jld what he should rccoivo for his rheat.
