Judge Stanley paid an elOquen; tTib-
ute TO Lord BeresfOrl. referring 10 the
famous attack on the ports of AleXan-
dria where failure meant court mar
tial, success meant praise. Judge Stan
ley said that Lord Beresford'S ideas
have been and are far in advance OF the
average thought OF the English Admir-
RprAGfny1 =
British admiralty is conservative.
Beresford should have. in the opinion
OF Judge Stanley, the highest place in
the British navy. While his ideas have
not found favor with the British ad-
miralty they have found favor with the
British people upon whom the admiral
" must depend and whose servants the
admiralty are. Since July Of last year
these islands have become American
territory and British subjects have be-
come American citizens. so that IL Is
highly proper that here in this outpost
