W. q. G. JAouEs.

Only few days ago, Captain W. H.
C. Jaques celebrated his seventy.
sixth birthday Anniversary, surround
ed by men with whom he has been as
ISOLATED for years in the practice Of
his profession. Looking backward
from the vantage point Of an appar.
emily sturdy old age. he reviewed the
years of his active career and heard
words of sincere praise from the lips
of men who had known him rs fellow
citizen and as opponent in legal
battles. t+
Yesterday Captain :. Jacques died
stricken almost without warning.
In his passing the community SUI.
fers heavy loss. For many. years he
had been a prominent member OF the
bar in Wapello county. His counsel
and advice were sought and valued.
He was widely known. both as a law
yer and as man Of sturdy principles,
high honor. firm convictions. great
native ability, an admirable PERSONAL
ity and unfailing courtesy.
Captain Jaques was the Oldest
member Of the local bar in point OF
service. He cast his fortunes with
the small community that was OF
tumwa half a century ago. He was
public spirited. His interest in the
development and progress Of his city
was to degree fatherly interest
He watched and helped the commun
lily develop His career spanned the
years between the Ottumwa OF the
past and the Otttumwa Of the present
His record in the Civil war was one
OF patriotic service and unselfisf
loyalty He leaves to his family
priceless heritage. the memory Of q
useful, honorable life.

there. Mr.. Noel was found in dying
condition on the C. B. & Q. freight de

CONFIDENCE is NOT VICTORY.

Germany may defeat America before
Americans realize they are at war.
Sir Eric Geddes, first lord OF the
British admiralty, told the members OF
the house of commons yesterday that
the war will be long one and that
Great Britain must lay plans with that
fact in mind. Closer home, Governor
Harding declared before conference
Of business men that the conflict
seems certain to last from three to five
years longer.
The public is coming all too slowly
to a realization of the tact which has
been apparent to war students Tor
months. that the struggle Is certain IN
the end to be between the United
States and Germany. This is the first
step toward a public realization that
this struggle may end in American de-
feat and German domination. The best
for which we can hope is that the
armies of England, France and Italy
can hold the Teutonic monster in check
until America can summon power to
deliver the final blow.
This is the big fact which must be
impressed on the too complacent pub
lie mind in America. We are In a war
frankly to exterminate the autocratic
militarism with which Germany threat
/, ened to dominate the world. Just as
frankly Germany is committed to ex.
termination Of everything which
stands in the way of her ambitious
plans which. under false banner in.
scribed "kultur." employ every bar
barrie and inhuman instrument Of law.
iessness and crime in ruthless cam
paign of destruction and devastation
We are face to face today with the
terrible possibility OF tragedy which
only three months ago seemed TO many

R. |. 1rLToN.

Tho death of r. l.. Tilton In De-
Moiues, on Tuesday, removed one "
the men whom Ottumwa had given te
the state when his sphere OF useful
ness broadened beyond the connnes
of the city where he had made MS
home for many years and had enjoyed
the respect and friendship OF MS Iei
lows. The esteem in which ne wa
held throughout Iowa is evidenced o1
the following editorial from the Des
Moines Capital Of yesterday:
The death Of Hon. r. L. Tilton.
secretary of the Grand Lodge OF
Odd Fellows, which occurred yes
terday afternoon, is loss to the
citizenship of the state. Mr.. Til
ton had served his fraternity with
fidelity and zeal. He not only
looked after his duties as grand
secretary but he made many
speeches on behalf Of the order.
Few men in the state had wider
ACQUAINTANCE. There was no To-
cality. however remote, where a
number of men did not know MIN.
For many years he lived at W
tumwa where he was active IN
politics. He was noted political
campaigner some years ago. he
served as postmaster Of Ottumwa
He was absorbed in the WORLDS
great affairs as they are today. He
was eager for American victory.
He hoped to live to celebrate the :
crushing of Prussian military
power. AS a man and frater his
death will be widely mourned. His
later years we're the more active
and his later achievements the
more notable. At the recent SEES
sion of the grand lodge, held in
this city. he was more than usual
" energetic. He met the sbreth-
rem with handshakes and hia
friends were congratulating them
selves and hoping that he might
live many more years. Death has
called him to the higher life in the
most interesting period OF his
earthly life.

s,NcLA,R's MISTAKE.

We never did have any faith In Upton
Sinclair's alleged conversion from so
icalism to loyalty. and his letter to
President Wilson complaining against
the postoffice departments order bar
ring socialist papers from the mails
confirms our opinion that the wealthy
faddist has taken up loyalty as a fad,
just as he took up socialism and settle
ment work and life itself.
In the first two sentences OF his pro
test he makes it plain that he still is e
socialist, when he writes:
Recently you said in a public
statement that you had been
watching with appreciation the &C
tivities OF those socialists and
labor men who had given their
support to the war. Being'one of
the group to which you refer.
take the liberty of addressing the
most heavily burdened man in the
world.
Then follows an attack on Postmas.
ter General Burleson for his action IN
barring from the mails several social
list organs for their expressed opposi-
ton to the governments war policies
and the measures it has adopted to
maintain American institutions not
only against the assaults Of the kaiser
his armies and his spies. but against
the assaults OF the socialists and the
various other obstrucdonists who
claim protection from the government
while they assail it.
Postmaster General Burleson's meth.
DDS may have been more harsh than
was necessary, but the purpose behind
his efforts is entirely laudable.
Sinclair makes his basic error in
the sentences quoted above, in pre-
cunning that any citizen Of America is
entitled to particular appreciation fol
espousing the cause Of the government
to which he owes the full measure OF
allegiance.
President Wilson wrote a letter to
Samuel Gompers on the occasion OF
the Minneapolis convention Of loyal
trades unionists in which he did use
some such expression as Sinclair
quotes in his letter. but the context
showed that he implied comparison
between the loyal labor men he ad
dressed and the disloyal Peoples coun
Gil, which but a few days before had
failed in an effort to hold its conven
ton in Minneapolis.
The American citizen who demon
strates his loyalty today deserves ap
probation, but he does not deserve mol
ask special privileges. For he is doins
only that which the great majority o.
his fellows are doing and that which i:
his duty and theirs. II his patriotism
i'm nels him to 60 to unusual lengths Oh
face special risk in performing hi:
patriotic duty. other loyal American:
