STANDING UP TO IT"
The LIST Wis. Battery Had a Lively Time at
Thompson's Hill.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Some years
AGO a discussion was carried on through
your columns as 10 who took two guns at
T'hompson's bill. First one comrade claimed
the honor for his regiment, and then another,
and we began to think were not in the
fight at all until it developed that it was
other guns under discussion.
The incident of the wreck of two guns on
the left of our division has never been writ
ten for THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, and /
make excerpt from the history of the 1st
Wis. battery, to be published some day.
At daylight we heard the throb Of rebel
artillery and the answering guns Of Lam
pheres battery, and stepped out right brisk.
AT sunrise Gen. Osterhaus met US in dip
between two hills, halted, and told us TO get
some coffee, quick.
Down came a rail fence, and fires were
blazing in a minute. We had started the
day before with five days cooked rations.
in another minute an Aid rode down and
urged dispatch. In three or four more Oa-
terhaus tore down with:
can wait no longer, boys; come nit
me. j needs you"
Filling our canteens with the boiling
fluid, and holding them out at n respectful
distance, we hurried up the hill. 0sterhaus
telling Lieut.. Kimball, who commanded the
battery, what a superior place he had for
us, and expatiating upon its advantages.
Going up the hill we met an occasional
soldier hurrying to the rear with a brisk
step and business air, who hailed
What battery, boys?" and in answer in
variably cried:
Give 'em -"
Onidivers occasions thereafter we met SINH
lar business men, and this cOlloquy always
ensued. Why this fierce desire for Us to
monopolize the hell business and their self
denial in participating is not yet made
clear.
We topped tie hill and filed around an
orchard, in which were the caissons and a
disabled gun of Lampheres battery and
some dead and wounded. Around the or
chard and down grade. we left the cais~ons
and four guns, and topped the crest of the
incline with the right section, under COM
mand of 0rderly-Sergeant AylmeT, meeting
more of Lamphere's disabled guns and men
carrying the wounded out on stretchers.

Nearly every statement made by Adj't

boys more manly than all the pounds that

TURKEYS SICK MAN.

Probably never in the history Of so-called
civilization has any head Of government
teen placed In quite So distressing posi-
ton as that which the sultan of Turkey
now suffers. Armenian revolutionists
threaten him. The young Turkish party
is ready 10 assassinate him. Great Britain,
France. Germany. Austria. and Russia are
eager to devvur his territory at one gulp,
each taking large mouthful.
1t is rreditable TO the Turkish people that
there is an element among them which is
opposed TO the suitan's misruie to the ex-
tent OF contemplating q revolutionary up
rising. Among all the nations OF the earth
now deserving the name of nation, only
ono is More offensive than Turkey, more
oppressive in its method. more dishonest
i'll its administration OF what il calls gov
ernment. and that nation. it is needless u
say. is Spain. Both of these countries are
blocks To the wheels OF civilization, and need
reorganization at the hands OF superior
and more advanced powers.
II may be found 10 be an inipossibiltiy
for the Eastern powers TO take formal and
absolute charge OF Turkish government,
which would be by far the best way to
settle the question. but il is pretty certain
that out Of the present broil will come a
better conditipn OF things, even II 1t comes
through bloody war.

cANADA'S LAKE VESSELS.

In view OF the decision of the President
and Secretary OF War that no war vessels
can be constructed on the great lakes, be-
cause OF The obstacle of the treaty of 1917,
the report of Commander Wakeham, of
the Dominion Fisheries Service, in re-
gard 10 the latest Canadian cruisers is of
especial interest.
1t seems that the Canadian government
IS not hampered by the convention of 1917.
Commander Wakeham boasts that these
cruisers are far superior 10 revenue cutters
maintained on the lakes by the United States
and woulu make formidable lake commerce
destroyers in case of necessity. Three quick
firing guns and tremendous ram bow,
with a speed of about thirteen miles an
hour, surely makes such a vessel some
thing more than was contemplated in the
antique treaty.
. The abstract OF this Interesting report
of Commander Wakeham. printed I'm The
Times this evening, is respectfully COM
mended to the President and Secretary
whose sensibIlities are SO very tender in
regard TO the treaty Of 1917.

MORE SOLDIERS WANTED.

Gen. Miles signalizes his promotion by
making an urgent request In his first annual
report for an increase OF his army by the
addition Of $4,000 men, that his soldiers
may be able 10 cope with labo uprisings,
which lie sees with prophetic eye.
The generals real reason for asking an
increase doubtless is that he wants an
army large enough that he may be able to
find it when he starts out upon a tour
OF discovery. 1t is very natural that
great general who wears n gorgeous uni
form and a majestic title should want an
army.
But when Gen. Miles goes beyond his
mere request and gives as a reason for
wanting additional soldiers that they
are TO be used 10 crush out labor uprisings
he makes a s,aterent which will arouse
general indignation.
The whole tendency Of the labor movement
in its more advanced Development is not
only in opposition 70 strikes, but to the
commission of any violent act. 1t is only
when set upon by hired thugs, like the
Pinkerton detectives, or when the military
are employed wholly In the interests OF
corporations which grind the life out Of
their employees, that violence is provoked
to any dangerous degree. All talk OF the
use OF troops merely aggravates the bit
sterness OF starving wage-workers, and Gen..
