Dewey's
10th Anniversary.

Washington, Dec 26.-Admral George
Dewey is 20 years old today. He is in
splendid health and robust in physique
AS is his custom. he passed the morn
ing ut his Office, with the exception of
an hour when he attended i meeting
of the Naval Relief Association, of
which he is president Numerous Of
licers of the navy and army, and other
friends called on him at his Office and
later at his home.
Among the admiral's callers today
were Il number of those who attended
the birthday dinner last week at which
President Roosevelt was present and
which was advanced in date because
the latter expected to be at Pine Knot.
Va, tonight. During their CONVERSE
ton they recalled a happy toast which
the President proposed when they drank
to the health of the admiral. 1t was
as follows:
ITO the man who has done more for
and reflected greater glory on America
than any other man now living"
The toast met with a hearty response
from those surrounding the admirars
table.
Admiral Dewey is president of the
general board of the navy and when
he reached his office today an immense
floral piece Of poinsettas was presented
to him by members and by the officers
associated with the board.
At the meeting of the Naval Relief
Association. the admiral was presented
with two handsome silver ink wells
with a pen tray. Former Surgeon Cen
eral Van Reypen of the navy made the
presentation speech.
The health of the admiral was drunk
from q decanter containing old Madeira
wine of the vintage of 1S47 The de-
canter was formerly the property of
George Washington and in his presen-
tation speech, General Van Reypen said
it was eminently fitting that the health
"of the other George, whom we all love
should he drank from the same de-
carter."
