need hardly tell you that 1 am most sim

Observation-Disclosures as it does. the highest
honor that can come to an American naval OFF,
Ger in his professional career. But it is a
great pleasure to acknowledge my debt OF
gratitude and to thank you in unStinted meas
ure for the part you took in obtaining for me
that greatest distinction.
1t is 4 source of additional pleasure to me, a
VermOnter. that the mover of the resolution
was not a man from the north, but one from
the far south. This is one Of the good signs Of
the times. In the hour of danger there is no
south, no north, but one united country. May
we never hear OF sectionaliSm again. There
are no lines drawn in the navy. l need not say
it may interest you to know that my flag lieu
