LIKES TOGO.
President COmmendS Jan Ad-
miraI Address, General Or.
der to Our Fighting Men.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S.-president
Roosevelt addressed to the secretary of
war, who promulgated the same in a
general order, a letter reciting the
achievements of the japanese admiral,
Togo, during the late war between
Japan and Russia, and repeating for
the benefit of American soldiers and
sailors the address issued by that adj
miral upon the conclusion of the war.
The point Of the presidents letter is
the necessity of keeping the personnel
OF the army and navy at the highest
pitch in time of peace i'll order to be
prepared for war.
The presidents letter is in part as
follows:
In the recent war in the east Admit
raj Togo took his place among the
great sea fighters of all time. His mes
sage to the united squadron which he
commanded, on the occasion of its dis
persal at the close of the war, is so
noteworthy that l deem it proper to
have it inserted in a general order of
the department.
Il commend Admiral Togo's address
TO every man who is a part of the
fighting force of the United States and
%unhappily, war should come it should
be so conducted as to reflect credit
upon the American people"
The portion of the address of Admi-
raj Togo quoted by the president is as
follows:
THE var of twenty months dura-
ton is now a thing of the past, and our
united squadron, having completed its
functions, is TO be herewith dispersed.
But our duties as naval men are not
at all lightened for that reason. To
preserve in perpetuity the fruits of
this war, to promote to an ever greater
height of prosperity the fortunes of the
country, the navy, which irrespective
of peace or wal has to stand between
the empire and shocks from abroad.
must always maintain its strength al
sea and must be prepared to meet any
emergency.
This strength does not consist sole
rly in ships and armament. 1t consists
also III material ability to utilize such
agents. When we understand that
one gun that scores 100 per cent of hits
is a match for Il hundred of the en-
emy's guns each of which scores only
l per cent it becomes evident that We
sailors must have recourse before ev-
erything to the strength which is over
,n1 ..I,nt., aytn,u,p1,
when in ancient times we conquered
Korea that country remained over 400
years under our control, only to be
lost Immediately SO soon as Il navy
declined. Again when under the sway
of the Tokugawa in modern days our
ornaments were neglected, the coming
of Il few American ships threw us into
distress.
on the other hand, the British navy,
which won the battles of the Nile and
of Trafalgar, not only made England
as secure as Il great mountain, but
also by th%enceforth carefully main
tanning it's strength and keeping it Oh
a level with the worlds progress has
s~afeguarded that country's interests
and promoted its fortunes for more
than Il hundred years"
