 Speaking of the lesson to be learned from the War of 1812 in his chapter in
 Vol VI. of Gloves "The Royal Navy" published in this country by Little, Brown & Co, of Boston, President Roosevelt says
 There is unquestionably q great diff ference in fighting capacity, as there is great difference in intelligence, be- tween certain races. But there are number of races, each of which is i'm telligent, each of which has the fight ing edge. Among these races the vic tory in any contest will go to the man
 or the nation that has earned it by thorough preparation. This prepara.- ton was absolutely necessary in the days of sailing ships; but the need for it Is even greater now, if it be intended to get full benefit from the delicate and complicated mechanism of the formid- able war engines of the present day.
 No education will fit a coward, a fool, or a weaklinP for naval life. But as rule, the war fleets of great nations are neither commanded nor manned by towards fools and weddings; and among brave and intelligent men of diff ferent raee-stocks, when the day of battle comes, the difference of race will be found to be as nothing when comI pared with differences in thorough and practical training in advance"
