A friend Of the the Free Press
favors US with a copy Of a letter
received from London under date
of October 25th, from which we
make the following extracts:
London, Oct. 18th, 1914.
THANK you for the Red Cross con-
tribution. which It was indeed good Of
you to send. have forwarded it to
the Society and it will be valued both
for itself, because expenses are neces-
sarily enormous just now. and also as
sign Of American friendship, which
means great deal to as. Subsctip-
lions are acknowledged in the Times
30 will send you copy of it.
War is indeed an awful visitation for
country, though as you say, it does
bring out the better side Of people in
many ways, One has only to read the
casualty lists that come out SO often,
to realize something Of the sacrifices be-
ing made, the majority of men are
under IS. and large number seem to
be only sons. One is constantly hear
ing of young widows, and so many Of
the next generation viii never have
known their fathers. The sadness all
around is TERRIBLE. one can't just dwell
on it, not for want of sympathy. but
because one must live ones ordinary
life as far as possible, it would be abb
solutely wrong to be depressed, we are
so sure we are right to fight.
People are cheerful and very busy
with relief work of all kinds.
There is no social life 1t seems SO
long ago since anybody thought of a
party, we almost wonder what we did
think and talk about before the war
London is quite gaily preparing for
a Zeppelin raid. Our streets ana houses
are dark at nights. There are search
lights turned on and our own airmen
are longing to give them a warm well
come.
The problem of providing for our Bel
gian guests is somewhat difficult as
there are such masses of them.
or course everyone is making clothes,
either for them or soldiers and sailors.
A few weeks ago friend of ours put a
notice in small local paper to say she
was prepared to receive and forward
garments to refugees, and 21,000 have
been sent to her from one not wealthy
part of London.
We would have little respect
for one of Teuton ancestry who
did not glory in the exploits OF
the Emden.
And those whose forbears
fought at Bannoekburn and Cu1-
loden, saddened as they may be
by the fearful toll of death, car
not but feel the red blooded call
Of race when they read how the
Gordon Highlanders, the Territor-
ials and every regiment on the
firing line maintain the splendid
traditions of Britain on the battle
fields of France.
Our correspondent in sending
the letter says: Were you not
proud of the exhibits from JEFF
ferson County at the Fall Fes-
tival ~
1.-THE contrast between our
peace and plenty and the dis
tress of the warning countries is
lesson Tor sane people. 2

worse than an migrate in times

CAPT. WILLIAM BURKE
DIED AT ST. LOUIS
One Of the oldest River Men and In
timate!y Known Along the
Mississippi.

The many friends and acquaintances
LOT Captain William Burke, all along
the Mississippi river from st. Louis
to ST. Paul will be grieved to learn OF
the death of the captain, one OF
the Oldest and best known riv-I
er men in the Mississippi valley. His
death occurred at st. Louis at 500
o'clock Friday morning. He was one
of the old time river men Of whom
there are a very few left at the pres
ent day. Could he have recounted his
steamboat experience during his long
and active life it would be read with
interest by those somewhat familiar
with the early days along the Missis-
sippi and with surprise and wonder by
the younger generations OF today.
Many people in Keokuk knew him
to admire him for his sturdy, manly
qualities. He had been connected
with many of the old and familiar
steamboats, passing Keokuk, among
them the Grand Pacific, Gen City,
Dubuque and other boats dating
back beyond those named. After the
completion of the water power here it
was suggested that he take the first
boat through as an appropriate rec
ignition of his long river service, but
| the matter was not pressed and an
other had charge Of that first boat.
He was recognized as safe man, q
! safe navigator and his passengers al
ways felt a little safer with Captain
Burke than with other river men who
| had command It seemed that all the
river men of this locality from st.
| Louis to st. Paul looked up to him as
the dean Of river craftsmen. He and
Captain Hugh Mckenzie Of Keokuk
were intimate and fast friends and it
was with tremor in his voice that
| he talked about the death of Captain
Burke, whose manly qualities he eplo-
gized to the highest and so 1t will be
with all who knew this good and true
man, warm friend, who knew no high
er rule of action than the perform
ance OF every duty and to be true and
helpful to friends. His record is made
and he quietly drew the drapery of
his couch about him and lay down to-
pleasant dream" Peace to his ashes.

FORMER RESIDENT
OF KEOKUK DEAD
Hector Janse Of Fort Madison, Well
Known Pioneer Of County,
Called Home Friday. IS

Announcement of the sudden death,
at about $3.50 Thursday evening at
his home at 1011 Third street, of Hec-
tor Janse, one of Lee county's promi-
nent pioneers, came as distinct
shock to the community wherein he
had lived so long. Save for chance
remark about slight ache in his
back, there was nothing to indicate
the end was near. In usual good spir-
its he had been up town in the after
noon, had met and chatted with num-
about 500 o'clock. AS was his Gus
tom just before the evening meal he
had donned his house slippers and
stretched out on the couch. When
called for supper less than a half
hour later he was dead. heart failure
being pronounced the cause Of his
sudden demise.
Hector Janse was born October %,
1888. in Zierikee, The Netherlands,
the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Janse,
who emigrated to this country with
their family in 1856. They settled
first in Boston where the parents sub
sequently died and were buried. In
1858 Hector Janse was united in mar
rage to Miss Mary Flohill, also a ma
tive of Holland, and who had also
come to the United States with her
parents at an early age. Mr.. and Mrs.
Janse remained in Boston for some
time after their marriage, he being
employed in rope factory there for
seven years. The allurements Of the
untamed west attracted them to this
vicinity in 1867, the family first locat-
ing at Keokuk where they remained
for a year.
From Keokuk they removed to
Washington township, the place upon
which they settled almost adjoining
the north limits Of the city Of Fort
Madison.
