GERS at receptions and while on llber-
ty In strange and peculiarly interest
ing places has been far less than was
expected.
From the epoint ofviow of the trained
mariner, bringing a ship around the
world is no extraordinary task. But.
bringing 16 battleships, with $4,000
men, around the world Is most gi-
gantic naval undertaking. Unlike the
merchant ships, they are things OF
massive and intricate mechanism.
They moved in battle formation, ma
neuvering at sea, to simulate, as far as
possible, war conditions. At two stops
in their journey, Magdalena bay and
the Philippines. the great batteries
were brought into play for target prac-
tice, without preparation, to prove the
fitness of the ships for fighting at the
end of long cruise.
Many Countries Visited.
The fleet visited 20 countries and
anchored in 26 foreign ports. The 16
ships passed through the Straits of
Magellan, made the journey through
the Suez canal without mishap and
coaled at Port Said in record time tc
be off to help the Italian earthquake
sufferers, all without mishap. Two
passed through the Dardanelles, the
first foreign warships to do 80 without
grave conferences between the Wig
liant powers, to pick up the young
Turkish officers who were to como tc
the United States. Two saluted the
new sultan Of Morocco. One division
dropped anchor at Annoy to do honor
to China. The whole feet flew theil
colors in the ports Of japan. The
flags of nearly all the world were un
furled in welcome to them.
To drive the ships 100000 tons o
coal were used. Practically all of this
came from America, in order tha

quantity of fuel consumed. In this re-
spect alone the experience gained is
invaluable. Nearly 100000 gallons of
oil were consumed in lubricating the
engines and machinery.
All Nations Impressed.
1t is as a naval test that the cruise
Of the fleet takes rank as the most
interesting and greatest achievement
of modern times. Naval experts of
foreign nations waited with cynical
patience for the feet to arrive in Mag
dalena bay, battered and disabled aft
er the first leg of the rigorous journey.
When the ships went through target
practice without any preparation they
hastened to report to their govern
ments. Later, when the same ships
continued on their way around the
world and did the same thing at Ma
Mia bay, the fighting efficiency of the
American navy was unquestioned.
Foreign naval experts also waited
confidently until the ships should
reach California, to see the bluejack-
cts desert in shoals as soon as they
set foot on their own soil again. On
the contrary the men kept to their
posts more faithfully than even the
department itself anticipated. This
is the one problem of the American
navy that has been a source Of con
stant difficulty. Re-enlistments be
come more common than before and
for the men who left the fleet after
the long cruise around South Ameri

But there were some things, some
very simple things, brought out b.

Marks Epoch in History.
The event marks an epoch in the
naval and diplomatic history of the
United States. AS a mere physical
achievement it is thing of enormous
proportions. AS test of naval eff
cheney 1t has shown the sailing value
of the fleet and demonstrated to
many peoples the power Of the United
States and its equipment for war. 1t
has been a sort of gymnastic exercise
with the big stick. 1t has given the
navy department the results of an
experience that will be invaluable IN
the upbuilding of future fleets and
brought out defects that must be over
come AS a diplomatic messenger 1t
has dissipated international misunder-
standings and brought closer in friend
ly relations the United States and
many of the worlds countries.
The successful completion of the
cruise without noteworthy accident or
untoward incident, from either naval
or political point Of view, is regarded
by all nations as history making from
several points of view. Never before
has any battle command made such a
long, continuous voyage. Never be-
fore has any battle command circum-
navigated the globe, whether in one
or separate voyages. Never before
has any feet or armada Of any of the
countries of the world visited so many
ports so many countries, under so
many flags. And never was any naval
command received with such wide and
universal acclaim and enthusiasm OF
friendly feeling and spirit of welcome
as marked the progress of the Ameri
can battle feet at every one of Its
twoscore or more stops on the cruise
around the world.

PRIZE FOOD
PaIatable, Economical, Nourlshlng.

A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food n a few words, and that
from personal experience. She writes:
after our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, cannot say enough in its
favor. We have used this food almost
continually for seven years.
I'VE sometimes tried other adver-
tised breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most pal
atable, economical and nourishing
of all.
"When I quit tea and coffee and be-
gan to use Postum and Grape-Nuts 1
was a nervous wreck. l was so ir-
ritable / could not sleep nights, had
no interest in life.
after using Grape-Nuts a short time
7 began to improve and all these all
rlents have disappeared and now am
q we'll woman. My two children have
been almost raised ON Grape-Nuts,
which they eat three times day.
"They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom of
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege OF whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when all
else failed.
"Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor
bills, and has been, therefore, a most
economical food for us"

Roosevelt reviewed the fleet of 16
battleships as they filed into Hampton

two months before.
The homecoming was much the
same as the departure. The ships
were the same, with the exception OF
the Nebraska and Wisconsin, which
took the place of the Maine and Ala
bama. The flag of Rear-Admiral Sper-

successfully in command, having been
placed on the retired list.

After mentioning the great good, In
actual results, accomplished by many
technical professions, Judge Taft con-
sidered in extent the profession of the
law. which, he said, sis in wide
sense the profession of government"
He said that lawyers often were Sc
lected to carry on governmental work,
because the executive faculty was
very marked attribute of the modern
lawyer. While he realized that there
we're defects and weaknesses in the
profession of the law, he regarded 1t
as the most important in it's relation
to political government. In conclu-
sion, he said: National exigency
seems to call forth the men peculiarly
fitted to meet the requirements of the
situation. Such were Lincoln and
Grant during the great civil war. Such
was Washington in the revolution, the
anniversary of whose birthday this
university appropriately makes its Com.
mencement Day. He was not law
yer or a doctor, or minister. He was
a leader of men. His pure, disinterest'
ed patriotism, his freedom from small
jealousies, his marvellous common
sense, his indomitable perseverance
and patience, and his serenity and
calm under the most trying circum
stances, gave him the victory-a vic
tory which could be traced not to bril-
liant genius or professional training
but to that which, of all things is the
most to be pursued and desired--tG
his high character as a man"

A GLIMPSE OF JAPAN.
What Wednesday Evening Was Like
At The Imperial Consulate.


The first thing that impressed me
was their hospitality, the next was
their patriotism, and appreciation. But
one fact overshadowed all others-the
Japanese understand the art of enter
tanning, and it's various niceties, that
we are very apt to overlook.
If you had driven up to the beautt-
full residence of Consul General Uyeno
about eight O'Clock last Wednesday
evening, you would have seen a long
file of automobiles and carriages wait
ing to deposit their loads Of guests at
the gateway, where stood deputies in
full dress, to receive all who entered
with ceremony. And standing at the
entrance of the. building near the
carpeted stairs you would have met
the genial consul with the other mem
bers of the consulate, it's officers to
bid you a cordial welcome to their
midst.
Then Mr.. Ida, very courteously would
have led you through the ladies re-
ception and waiting rooms, where
numbers of dainty Japanese ladies
were already seated quietly, and with
folded hands, for it is not considered
good form to talk or attract attention
in any way when in public, feature
by the way, some of us could adopt to
advantage.
Next, you would have seen the din
ing hall, richly furnished with mark
ed tendency toward simplicity, panels
of dark brown silk, delicately hand
painted with distinctive scenes of Jap
an, adjoining the walls, and through
the dining hall adorned with vases o.
red carnations and a huge attractive
basket of cut flowers on the table.
Over carpeted ,lanais, ana dowI
more carpeted stairs, to the great wide
lawn, where under a huge tent, anC
enclosed with red and white bunting
was a most enticing display. Tit
centre pole was composed of ceda
sprays, interspersed with vari-coloreC
lights and surmounted by panel o
unique design; the background beinl
made of vertical Cretan leaves, upol
which were raised in Japanese char
acters, welcome, and congratulation
to the Emperor, in white and purpl
asters, and framed within a weave @
cocoanut leaves.
Ten long tables to accommodate AZ
guests, covered with snowy linen, an
offset by bowls of asters, ferns, an
. many quaint decorations, seemed t
, bend under their burden of goo
. things. Chop-sticks rested at eac
plate, and the center of the tables wer
] piled high with every delicacy.,
