In epite of all the upheaval In Eu- rope at the present time, it is fmpos- sible that the developments in China, and that country’s relatlons with Ja- pan, should not get some attention. It was anticipated wheh it occurred that the Xilling of Jap: e troops by Chi- nese soldiers at Ckeng-Chiatun would result in Japan taking up the matter with a firm hand, and the demands which have been made in conseguence are only what were forccasted. ‘When Japan asks that the Chinese officers who were in charge of the troops who did the killing be dismiss- ed, that the troops be withdrawn from that section and that the families of the dead Japanese be indemnified, it s only perhaps what China expected, but when it s asked that inner Mon- ' NORWICH "BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1916 golia' be henceforth policed by Japan- ese it calls for the giving up of rights which if China were a strong country would not be listened to. China, however, is not in a position o offer very serious resistance to_what- ever Japan demands. It is in Japan's power financially in accordance with the previous demands made by the Tokio government but it remains to be seen how completely it is in its power when it comes to yielding rights such as are now insisted upon. It is there- fore but natural under the circum- stances that other countries whose commercial interests may be involved should display an interest in the pro- cecdings, vet for the most part the nations which would ordinarily by concerned have about all they can at- tend to in Europe to say nothing about the far east. Thus by avoiding any encrcachment on their rights Japan appears io be in a fair way to get what it wants. THE RE‘PUBLICAN CONVENTION. Throughout the state much interest naturally attaches itself to the con- vention of the republicans now in ses- sion at New Haven. With delegates assembled from all the towns and sen- atorial aistricts they have an impor- tant duty to perform for in the nomi- nation of candidates for state office and for United States senator to be balloted upon this fall there is more than party success to be con- sidered. The interests of the common- wealth cannot be overlooked and there are the demands of the constituents of these many delegates which must be respected, to say nothing of the stress that should be placed upon good gov- ment at all times. The responsibility which therefore {rests upon those who have been dele- ed to the important task is great it cannot be properly dischareed hirking it in any particular. The republicans and the voters of the state look to them for conscientious and considerate action. There are a number of candidates in the fleld for gubernatorial honors, the ting i s of whom have been put- forth their many claims for rec- on and out of which it will be to make a cholce which will be in accordance with the best inter- ests ‘of the state. Nothing else will do more for the continvation of the re- publican policies in state zovernment, and t is what has been demon- ated by the present administration, 1 contrast to those who had preceded the people of Connecticut demand. r INDUSTRIAL PREPAREDNESS.

Japan s offering to loan $30,000,09¢ to China but that is a bit of financial business over which Ch: will do some @eep thinking and figuring be- fore it accepts. From the way in which the mind of the present administration has wob- bled, it is evident to the people that the next four years will demand a president of a different stamn. Just to give him a chance to prove that what he wrote could actually he put into practice, Bernhardi has been placed at the head of a German army division where the Russians are the thickest. There can be little question but what Great Pritain is doing its part other- wise than financially when it is an- nounced that its loss on ail fronts in August in soldiers killed averaged 4265 a day.

Stories of the War Risked Life to Pull Down Flag. ‘This story telling how a soldier of the Grenadier Guards won the Military Me for consplcuous brav ac- tion has been ued by the British Official Press Bureau in London. A Lancashire man named James Lyon Worthington, who is a Sergeant the Grenadier Guards, has just ob- ained the Military Medal for the dare- il feat of capturing a German flag r the fire not only of the Germ but of the snipers on his ow Worthington gained the Distin, Conduct Medal for plucky work early months of the war, and also the distinctive nickname of “Dare- devil Jim.” How he won the Military he himself describes in a letter s sent home to his wife in the Lancashire colliery town of Tyldes- le: “A few nights ago,” says the Ser- ant, “the Germars planted one of their colors on top of a big tree in front of one of our regiments. In the morning the flag could be seen f miles, and it attracted considerable at- tention. The sight of it rathe: me, for I had been out that night with two or three men trying to snmare a German for our Captain. When I saw the flag flying T knew at once why I had been unsuccessful. The patrol we were after must have been assisting a the hoisting of the colors. Anyway, w missed our quarry, and at dawn we re- turned disappointed. “We were bent on having anothe: the next night, so I asked perm! of the Captain to go out by daylight and reconnoitre the position. The Cap- tain consented. “On the way back the flag caught my eye, and I detrmined to have a nearer look at it and see if it was pos- sible to get it at dark. It took me a long time to get there, for I had to go warily. Had T been seen the Cerman machine guns would probably have got me, and you would have been a widow. T was lucky to get to the bottom of the tree unperceived. T studied it from a convenient shell hole, and the flag looked so dammned cheeky—challenging everybody, 80 it seemed—that I made up my mind to get it. “I chanced it. and, thanks probably to the tree being bushy, I actually got to the top without being seen. I had a struggle with the iron rod to which the flag was attached, and while 1 was trylng to loosen it some of our snipers were shooting and trying to knock it down. So you may guess I uick. I fell down the tree and packed it, of course. You It just happened toi: dress and | gained | once, but the only damage was a few bruises to my hips and a piec¢ of my nose and shin. “I climbed up again, secured the bot- tom end of the rod, untwisted it, and this time we all came down together —myself, rod, and flag. I cut the flag away, seized my rifle, and scooted into the bushes. Just as I dropped under icover a ‘burst of rifile fire came from our lines, and bullets struck the tree all over. It was lucky I came down so quidkly. “I made my way te the nearest trenches, which were manrmed by the people who had paid me so much at- tention. They were greatly surprised to see me, and more so when I gave thems a goed cursing. They sald I looked like a German in khaki, but my language partly convinced them. When I repcrted to my Captain he said T had done a good piece of work. The Col- onel must have thought so, too, for be recommended me for the Military Med- al. This has been granted me, and I am now wearing the D. C. M. and M. M. ribbons.” When the war broke out Worthing- ton’s friends did their best to dissuade him from rejoining the colors.
