4 NAVYS DUAL FUNCTION.

The participation of the naval squadrOns Of a
number of the great powers in the Hudson-Ful-
ton celebration, the fraternizing Of the officers
and men of the several nations represented and
numerous incidents attending the occasion must
furnish to all save those who will not see re-
newed evidence of the fact that the modern navy
has dual function and that dogs of war"
may he and often are harbingers of peace.
No more striking evidence of the dual function
of the modern navy has been afforded than in
the case of Japan and the circumnavigating
cruise of the American feet. The conflicting
sentiments aroused in Japan by President Roose-
velts contribution to the peace of Portsmouth
the sincere gratitude of the Emperor and the
Elder Statesmen. who realized that financial con-
ditiOns made peace desirable and the indigna-
tion of an unenligLtened public that anathema-
tiZed the American Executive and mObbed it's
own peace commissioners-ar so recent as to be
within the recoection of all. In spite of the
efforts of the japanese government the indigna
tiOn of the plain people was not aSSuaged, and
the conflict between Americans and japanese in
California augmented it, Mr.. Roosevelt con-
ceived the idea of sending the American fleet
around the world. The Japanese statesmen ex
tended cordial invitation TO the feet to visit
their ports. That the appearance of so powerful
and efficient naval force must have had a
Sedative effect on the resentment of the plain
people can hardly be doubted. That 1t rendered
easier the course of those Japanese statesmen
who were themselves seeking to check Japanese
emigration 10 this country is tacitly admitted
and that the visit of the fleet went far to pro-
mote friendship is equally true. Every Ameri-
can naval officer speaks with enthusiasm Of the
cordiality of the reception given by the Japa-
neSe. Of the extensive display of American flags
in the japanese ports. of their pleasant personal
experiences in that land where courtesy is an
art: and now, as a still further manifestation OF
the friendship promoted, il is learned that the
officers and men of the American feet have vol
unfairly subscribed some $1,000 for the purpose
of sending an appropriate souvenir TO their
gracious hosts.
So. too in the case of China. while there was
no occasion for friction between that country
and this the visit of the American fleet made
for more cordial personal relations, as is shown
by the purpose Of the second squadron TO send
10 the Chinese navy a fitting memento of its
visit. Nor is fl rash to predict that the mem
ories which the officers and men of the squad
rons that now this country's guests will take
away with them must have more than passing
effect in promoting and maintaining sentiments
! oi friendlness and peace
