MANY MILITARY POSTS
WERE ESTABLISHED
Fort Madison Fort was Built In 1908
and Fort Des Moines was Where
Montrose Now Stands.

More than a dozen forts or military
posts were established at various
times in the Iowa country, according
20 an article by Mr.. Jacob Van der
Zee. which appears in the April num-
her or "The Iowa Journal OF History
and Politics" published by the State
Historical society Of Iowa. These
forts were built partly to defend the
frontier from possible attacks by
hostile Indians, but more especially
to protect the Indians themselves from
unscfupulous white traders and set
tiers who attempted to encroach on
Indian lands. First came Fort Madi-
son. built in 1908 on the site Of the
present city by the same name. Twsn-
ty-six years later Fort Dies Moines,
No. 1, was established where Mont
rose In Lee county now stands. Fort
Atkinson was erected in 1910 among
the WinnebAgo Indians In what is

IOWA CITY, Iowa, May 2.-"Do you
think there will be any war between
the United States and Japan in the

asked of Dr. Shosuke Sato, the Jap
anese educator who has been visiting
the University Of Iowa.
War! War;" exclaimed Professor
Sato in largest capitals, Never!
Japan has absolutely no cause for
going into war with America. Some
professional jingoists in the streets
of New York or Toxic may cry war;
but I feel certain that the responsible
men Of Japan and America will never
permit any clash between these two
countries"
Only a few weeks ago DR.. Sato had
a thirty minute conference with
President Woodrow Wilson at the

Interest In the Big Lock.

InteTe0I IN kHe org .OCN'
Visitors to the water power take a
special interest in the lock and stand
looking at it longer than anywhere
else in the works. They ask all sorts
of questions about it and evidently
most of them come to Keokuk with
out the least idea about how . lock
works or what 1t is for.
Whenever a whistle blows any
where within hearing. the people ask
whether a boat is going through the
lock. When boat is locked through,
the operation is watched with the
greatest interest by everybody there,
and also by the people in the observa-
ton platform on top Of the bluff
which is seldom vacant now.
The engineering students from the
various universities coming here to
study the last word in hydro-electric
engineering always wish out loud that
a boat would signal the lock. Gener-
ally there Is no boat to be locked
through. But Lockmaster Heule has
made a host Of friends all over the
country by his courteous Kindness to
parties of students and other serious
visitors, for if he has time he often
raises and lowers the upper gate for
them. The students often show their
appreciation of this by lining up on
the gate and giving their college yell
