So- As far as I know, the first flag ever to be hoisted by an invading
force in the Japanese homeland was the Texas flag.
The national ensign was hoisted in front of the administration building
of the Yokosuka Naval Base.
Yours truly,

The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography for
July, 1945, has a provocative article entitled "History the Key
to the Magic Door" by George Fort Milton. Discussing some
of the present problems confronting the historian, the writer
points out that the mountains of records now available do not
necessarily provide the type of documentary sources that have
been relied upon in the past. Personal conversations between
chiefs of states and heads of foreign offices and unrecorded
communications by telephone and radio reduce the number of
written records of today's negotiations and decisions. Milton
holds that "just such difficulties as these should accentuate our
realization that the historian has other purposes than com-
piling facts." The article concludes with the following para-
graph:
History can instruct us in private and public virtue. History can point
the path of judgment, and portray wisdom's rewards. The study and use
of history should be man's key to the magic door of a more abounding
and rewarding life. And we historians must seek and use the key.
The Association lost a distinguished long-time member in
the death of Judge A. A. Aldrich, of Crockett, on August 26.
1945. Judge Aldrich was the author of the History of Houston
County, published by the Naylor Company. The judge was
eighty-seven at the time of his death, having practiced law in
Houston County for sixty-three years. He was a former state
representative, county judge, and presidential elector. For thir-
ty years he was a trustee of Austin College.
Nebraska History, XXVI (January-March, 1945), pp. 3-25,

Markets for Texas Cattle." The article will be completed in
