Sheriff Of Hardin County.

Special to Times-Republican.
Iowa Falls. Jan. 26.-H. E. Martin OF
this city today announced thai he
would enter the race for the republican
nomination for Sheriff of Hardin coun-
ty. This announcement is made by
Mr.. Martin after a careful preliminary
canvass Of the county during which
he has received what he considers suf-
ffcfent announcement to warrant his
entering the race. Mr.. Martin has for

ignition. He has a wide acquaintance
over the county which will aid him ma
terially in seeking this nomination. 1t
is conceded by all that he is fitted for
the position and it is admitted he will
make a strong bid for the place.

three entries in the sheriff race for
the nomination as Sheriff Walsh will
seek nomination for another term,
basing his claims for denomination on
his record in the office the past eight
years. 1t is also stated hat Fred
Sprain, of Eldora. will enter the race.

SULLIVAN DRAFTS EXPLAINED.

Special to Times-Republican.
New Hampton, Jan. 26.-An injustice
was done Mrs. William l.. Sullivan,
wife Of the missing insurance man of
this city, in a news story Of Saturday
morning. While the facts were es-
sentially true, the meaning given to
them was erroneous. 1t was stated that
a draft was cashed here this week,
which bore the date Of Dec. "a, on a
Des Moines bank, and that this would
indicate that Mrs. Sullivan really knew
the whereabouts Of her husband at
the time that the police of Des Moines
were dragging the river for his body.
Intimate friends Of the distressed
woman say that this is a libel on her,
and state the real facts of the case are

PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON, who saved Alaska
MARYLANDER WOULD
 GIVE US AWAY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The dona. tion or sale of Southeast Alaska to the Canadian government "as step in the direction of mediation" in the European war has been suggested by Representative Smith, of Maryland, the most pronounced Anglomaniac in Congress. But just how the donation of Southeast Alaska to Canada is go- ing to basten the end of hostilities in Europe MT. Smith does not point out. He contents himself with introducing a resolution in Congress including the proposal.
 MT. Smith, of Maryland, has become fanatic on the question of turning over Southern Alaska to Canada.
 About a year ago he came forward with the proposal that the United States turn over the Alaskan panhan- dle to Canada in the interest of world peace, on the theory that as long as the strip comprising Southeast Alaska remains a part of the United States, western Sdudud IS uSpTlHcu Ol NdilOuS ports on tho seacoast which he con tends properly should be under Cana dian Jurisdiction.
 Now that all Europe is at war, but while the United States is entirely neutral, and not involved with any of the belligerent nations, Mir. Smith re- wives his proposal to donate the Alas. kan panhandle to Canada "as step in the direction of mediation. ."-(Port- land Oregonian."

MANY OLD MEN
 COMMANDING ARMIES

When Gen. Grant came prominently to the front in 1863 by his capture of Vicksburg he was Il years old. Meade, the victor at Gettysburg, was at the same time 4S, Sherman was 43 and Sheridan was 32 years old. When Stonewalf Jackson was killed in that same year he was but 39, and when Mcclellan was placed in command of the Union forces in 1861, he was only S5.
 These ages are interesting because they are in such striking contrast with the advanced years of the men who are in command of the armies now battling in Europe. On the German side Gen. Von Emmich, the captor of Liege, is 56, and Gen. Won Kluck is 6S. Gen Von Hausen, who recently gave up the command of the Saxon army, is 6S; Gen. Von Heeringen is GA; Gen. Von Einem, 61, and Gen. von Buelow, 6S. Gen. Yon Moltke, chief of the German general staff, is 66, and Gen. Won Hinderberg, who iE in command in East Prussia, is 67.
The Alaska daily empire., 1914-10-30

Nearly all these officers took part in the Franco -Prussian war of 1870. On the Allies side Earl Kitchener is GA; Smith.Dorrien, 56, and Sir John French, 62.. The three French gener. als, Pau, Joffre and Gallant, are all approaching 70.
 From the statement of years 1t is easy to infer that modern warfare de- mands in generals mature Judgment and experience rather than the super abundant energy and high personal courage that were supposed to be the distinguishing marks of the old-time warrior. The commander of the pres ent day, seated at headquarters, miles from the scene of action and receiving from his subordinates reports by wire less, by telegraph or by telephone, ic more likely to be white'haired old man possessed of great knowledge of the art of war and resourceful and imaginative, but possibly deficient in physical vigor, rather than com- mander of the type of Napoleon or Hannibal or Alexander the Great, and other youthful military prodigies of their day.

YOUNG EAsTERNERs
 RETURN FROM ARCTIC

SEATTLE, Oct. 1S.-After spending a year in the Arctic aboard the power schooner Polar Bear, John Heard, G. s. sllsbee and Samuel Mixter, grad uates of Harvard University and sons of wealthy Boston parents, are back in Seattle, enroute to their home in the East. Dunbar Lockwood w. E. Hudson, Capt. Louis Lane and Eben S. Draper, who were members of the party, made their way to Seattle last winter over the ice, reaching Seattle shortly before Christmas. Lane re- turned to the North by way of Edmon- ton and the Mackenzie River and joined his ship again this spring. He is now enroute to Seattle from Nome.
 The party gathered a number of trophies during the winter, and apart from the viclssitudes that might be expected in the rigors of an Arcdc region, endured no unusual hardships After the ice broke up this spring and their imprisoned vessel was released

EASTERN MAGAZINE
 NiISREPRESENTS SITKA

If somebody were to offer a prize for the greatest number of inaccura- cies compressed into one brief sen tence, the current number of the Path finder Magazine, published in Wash ington, D.-C., probably would win the worlds championship against all com petitors with the following paragraph, which refers to a painting in the Rus sian Church at Sitka;
 Surrounded by bleak, icy stretches of land, the picture is practically shut out from the world, for it is inaccess- ible to but few save a small number of rough miners and ignorant na- tiyes."
 Neither the picture nor Sitka, is surrounded by bleak, icy stretches of land.
 The picture is not inaccessible to anybody, but may be seen any day in the year.
 Neither is 1t shut out from the world.
 There are no rough miners at Sit ka. Mining is not one of Sitka's in- dustries.
 The natives of Sitka are not ignor. ant, but on the contrary are the most advanced Indians on the American continent. Many of them are naviga- tors and pilots and some of them are graduates in other sciences.
 Five Errors In Six Lines.
 Apart from these five misstate. ments of fact, the sentence quoted from The Pathfinder is nearly correct. But five errors in six lines of type is a fairly good representation and in view of them it is amusing to read the patronizing comments of magazines in general on inaccuracies of the daily newspaper.
 For the benefit of The Pathfinder and a few other magazines 1t might be stated that during the past thirteen years, there never haes been a winter week at Sitka that has been as cold on an average as the corresponding week III ellueT ANeW lOLh' h1SiAhSIO IOH' Philadelphia. or Boston.
