there. it will show that Farragut's man
tie of resolution and bravary had fallen

cessor. Continuing, he said:

not a temper and mind OF his own?
There is, as you know, naval strategic
board in Washington to direct move
ments at this juncture. Some OF IT'S mem
bers never had a minutes experience in
war. Heaven save the mark How could
they plan the movements for guidance
of old officers who are supposed to know
their business in handling and fighting
ships and fleets without outside advice?
But It is said that Captain Mahan has
been ordered home to take a seat on the
strategic board. Admiral Dewey. broad.
able and dashing. splendid seaman and
brilliant commander, who has won one Of
the most unique. complete and signal
naval battles OF the century. taking ad-
vice on professional lines from a mere
writer OF books like Mahan. is merely
absurd.
'Mahsn Is a forceful and accomplished
writNr. but Their is no Farragut or Dewey

judgment. the naval strategy Of the war
is the hunting down and the destruction
