Advice to Young officers.
Chaplain Clark opened the ceremonies

marks to the midshipmen, in which he con-
graduated the graduates upon this, one OF
the events Of their lives. Capt. Brownson
gave the boys much wholesome advice, es-
pecially about the handling of the men
under them.
He said to them to be kind and consid-
crate, but firm, to the enlisted men, as no
man could be great leader unless there
was a bond of sympathy with the men ne
commanded. After expressing his assur-
ance that they would ever show deVotlon
to duty and to the flag under which they
served he introduced Secretary Moody, VINO
made the graduation address.
Regretted Presidents Absence.
Mr.. Moody said in part: II regret even
more than you the enforced absence OF
your commander-in-chief,P President Roose-
welt, but he charged me to deliver to you
his best wishes and his hopes and conf
dence in yoursstern devotion to duty.

visit to your city was such as to almost
render me unable TO be here today" He

war. But our people have at last learned
the truth uttered by the immortal Wash
ington, the way to preserve peace is to
prepare for war in the future you De,
long entirely to your country, absolute and
undertaking service "a =
r.You have traditions of those gone before
and herein you. have great advantage
over your forefathers who served IN your
country's service. These splendld traol-
lions from the days Of John Paul Jones to
the recent past echo down the corridors
Of time, shedding a glory upon the coun-
try's history which you are expected TO up
hold"
Secretary Moody here reviewed the great
events of the revolution and war of 1872,
and after begging permission OF Lord Beres-
ford setting on his right, declared that at
that time the American vessels showed
their equal capacity with those OF the Eng
elared that 1t was not too early to hold up
to them the brave. glorious deeds OF the
leaders Of the late confederacy.
