Japan. CHINA AND the U. 3.

Japan's ultimatum to Germany en-
bodies demand which must necessar-
lily be the cause of unease to the United
States. When she insists that Ger
many's possessions in China must be
turned over to Japan the demand to
many students of the eastern situation
will suggest the first move toward
Japanese domination of the orient and
her ally. The assertion that the Kiau
Chau territory will be held as trustee
by Japan to be turned over to China
will not be given wide credence in view
of Japanese necessities and Japanese
reputation in business and diplomacy.
The assurance itself was redundant
from the certainty that Germany will
never render that territory on such a
demand. If the Japanese secure Kaiu
Chau it will be by military occupation,
surety that was without doubt calcu-
lated upon when the ultimatum was
written, and there is slight probability
OF that nation rendering up to China
territory taken by force from Germany.
The commercial interests of the
United States are great and have been
highly promising in China. Awakened

against Japanese force and can receive

Either the territory involved will never

SETH THOMAS CANDIDACY.

l-'N'oui ISepIcSculdtlVp.J
Ihe Thomas candidacy Gor the SUI
preme courD is simply preposterous.
Mr.. Thomas may be a young man of
good ability, but most certainly his
candidacy itself amounts to a con-
elusive demonstration Of his inappre-
citation Of prophecies. He was not ad-
mitted to the bar until the summer Of
1910, and in the four years since that
time has. like other young lawyers,
been trying TO establish himself in the
law practice. Just to what extent he
has succeeded in this endeavor Is not
clear, but it Is states that he Is yet
to try his first case in the supreme
court. For young lawyer of SO little
experience to become a candidate for
supreme Judge savors very strongly of
presumption and neither craftsmanship
nor anything else affords just war
rant for promoting his election. Upon
the contrary, any sort of regard for the
credit of the court would suggest that
as little as possible he said in behalf
Of his candidacy and that It be conven-
iently and quietly dropped. Mr..
Thomas has got some advertising out
of his candidacy, and that is all that
his best friends ought to wish him to
get out Of it,.

FOUGHT NIT s1GE1.."
Mason City Times.l


Mason City has at least one veteran
OF the civil war who fought init Sigel"
An editorial reference to the fight of the
First Iowa infantry in The Times on
Monday brought out a comment from
him regarding the engagement OF the
soldiers who answered President Lin
coins first call for troops. Tom Morton
is his name and he is one of the very
few left who were members of Company
A. First Iowa. He Joined the company
at MuScatine and the regiment, after
organizing at Keokuk, left for Missouri
to help hold the state in line for the
union. The term Of enlistment Of three
months OF the First Iowa expired nine
days previous to the battle of Wilson's
creek but at the urgent request Of Gen.
eral Lyon they remained and per-
formed service altho nominally out OF
the army. Mr.. Morton saw one of the
horses killed while 1t was being ridden
by General Lyon, one of the six horses
killed for him the day Of the battle. He
also saw the general fall when mortally
wounded. he being but few rods from
the Iowa regiment when the tragedy
occurred. General Lyon was very
brave and daring commander and ne
led the troops in person when the
charge was made at Wilson's creek.
According to Mr.. Morton, General Lyon
was a bull dog in action and reckless IN
fighting.
When General Lyon was killed other
senior officers stepped aside ana gave
the command to General Sigel, the pride
of every German soldier In the union
army and a man whom the American
soldiers loved to follow. You ngnts
nit Sigel?" meant that soldier mao
distinction and that he was entitled TO
consideration. Mr.. Morton said that
when he was returning home from tine
war he was given a royal welcome in
ST. Louis where the business district
vas largely dominated by the Germans.
They all wanted to extend full hospital
itv to him lust because he fought init
sieel." Mr.. Morton said that 1t was the
military experience OF General sisel ~
Germany that made him the hero OF the
occasion. There was method IN me-
charges which insured confidence. WINE
, he had a dash that was as efectlVe' IL
not more SO. than the dash OF Generai
Sheridan, he always took the precaution
to have his troops prepared Tor unlteo
action. There was no pell nell move
ment about his charges. At Wilson'S
creek the confederates were made up OF
Missouri, Texas and Arkansas soldiers
and a band OF Cherokee Indians ana
outnumbered the union troops more
than five to one. The confederates,
however, were not well organized ana
could not stand up under the charges
made by Lyon and Sigel.
Mr.. Morton insists on being called
Tom because that was the name his
parents gave him. He also wants 1t
