The Philadelphia Times made the case
known, and it was surprising how soon

hull shots for which American captains
were famous. The Java was soon un-
manageable, with her head sails gone
and her bowsprit shot away. The Con-
stitution dropped astern Of her and raked
her deck lengthwise.
Then the British captain determined
to board the American. In closing the
Java ran her jib boom into the mizzen
rigging Of her opponent, but she soon
lost her jib and received a severe raking
from the stern. Under this fire her fore
mast went down, smashing in the fore
castle and main deck. 49,.
After some maneuvering in which, as
usual, the Constitution avoided the
raking fire of the Java, the vessels stood
broadside to broadside. The first fire Of
the Constitution carried away the Java S
mizzen mast. All that remained was
her mainmast with it's yards gone. The
English ceased firing, but their flag did
not come down. Bainbridge lay to, and
after all interval, seeing the Java s en-
sign still flying, prepared to open his
guns again Then the British colors
were struck. Meanwhile the Java S
mainmast had fallen, perforated with
shot. All her masts had been cut
through with American missiles. Be-
Sides the hull Of the vessel was torn
open and she was leaking badly. Balm
bridge lost 81 killed and wounded,
while the loss Of the British was more
than 900.
The victory over the Java closed the
brilliant achievements of the year 1912
for the navy. The Constitution, with
Commodore Balm bridge on deck, reached
Boston early in 1918. Signal guns an
nounced the arrival, and when the
wounded commodore appeared on the
crowded street, supported on either side
by the naval heroes John Rodgers and
Isaac Hull, the people went wild with
enthusiasm. At the beginning of the
war it had been proposed in Washing
ton that the nations navy be laid up to
prevent capture. This uncalled for slur
upon the gallant sailors the people of
the seacoast bitterly resented.
Captain Charles Stewart, worthy
successor Of Hull and cambridge, next
stepped to the deck Of the Constitution.
Throughout the war he handled the
gallant ship with marvellous skill and
daring, and thereafter shared with her
the gloriously won sobriquet Old Iron

great naval battle Of the war, fought
Feb. 90, 1915, after peace had been de-
clared at home and in England.
Late in December, 1914, the Consti-
tuition escaped from the port Of Boston,
where a British squadron had kept her
under blockade over eight months. She
was spelling" for action and set out
for the mid-Atlantic While sailing
from the Azores to Madeira about noon
on the Goth of February she sighted
two vessels-the corvet Cyane of 20
guns and the sloop Levant of 20. They
were ten miles apart at first, the Levant
in the wake, but seeing the Constitu-
tion in chase the. latter made haste to
join her consort. Crowding on all sail
until the royal mast snapped off under
the load, Stewart gave chase. Owing to
the accident to the mast he did not come
up to the Britons until evening, and
then the two had united. The Constitu-
ton ranged alongside the Cyane and
fired broadside into her at 300 yards.
The Briton Of course replied, but the
Constitution forged ahead after the Le-
want.
It was give and take with these two
until they were completely buried in
smoke. Then the Cyane crawled up un-
der the Constitution quarter. Stewart
instantly tackled the new enemy, CIV
ing I4evant a parting broadside. Skill
fully avoiding q rake from the Cyane,
he backed until he brought her abeam,
then silenced her with tremendous
cannonade. The Levant meanwhile bore
down to helpSher consort. Seeing this,
Stewart filled out, and, running for her,
gave her two stern rakes before she
could wear to get into position Wear
ing himself, he Unanswered under cover
OF the smoke until he brought his ship
astern of the Cyane. Raking her. as he
had her consort, he compelled her to
strike and fastened after the Levant,
which had hauled off to repair, but was
returning to the combat The two met
on opposite tacks and exchanged broad
sides. A few volleys were enough fo1
the Briton, and she tried to escape, but
the Constitution kept at her heels and
brought her to with her bow guns.
After the fight the British captains,
discussing the battle in the cabin Of the
Constitution, told Stewart he owed his
victory to their faulty maneuvering

General Miles, observations Of mill
tary matters in Europe are interesting:
He finds the German army makes the
finest appearance on parade of any in
Europe, but it cannot fight any better
than the soldiers of either England,
France or Russia. Contrary to what
might have been expected, the general
found the French army very little spec
tacular, but there were solidness and
earnestness about both men and officers
which indicated that France could do
some great fighting if occasion required.

Unmatched. The Constitution had more
seamen than the Java, but the English
vessel was the faster ship. The tactics
of the Java were to rake the Constitu-
ton, which had been classed in the
English navy as "a bundle of pine
boards under a bit of striped bunting. =
At the very outset the wheel of the
Constitution was shot away, and Com
modore cambridge was struck in the

wound still staid above directing move
