ONCE the tabled cruise of the Ar
~ gonauts of old there have been
many famous cruises in history, but
none hat can compare, either in mag
nitude of vessels or in length of miles,
to the great world cruise just finished
by our feet.
When Admiral Rojestvensky took
his doomed ships from the Baltic to
the Sea of Japan, this was heralded
to all the world as the greatest armed
cruise in history, and so it was up
to that time. Yet apart from the sim
gular fact that these Russian fighting
ships were foredoomed to disaster,
what a miserable achievement it was
as compared to the magnificent, resist
less, onward sweep of our own fight
ing ships!
From first to last the cruise of the
Russian fleet was attended by mis-
haps, false starts, false alarms, eyre
gious blunders and h~umiliations of

This is a very long distance from
legislative enactment. The bills that

session will run up into thousands;
the number involving important
changes that will be actually passed
Is decidedly small, particularly in the
congress of the United States. How
easy it is to introduce a bill was Illus
trated by an experience of Senator
Blair. At the request of a constituent,
with whom he had but slight acquaint-
hnce, and in the closing hours of a ses-
sion of congress, he introduced, with
out reading, a bill which, as it proved,
would attempt to divert the Gulf
stream, by some engineering feat, so
that 1t would warm up Labrador and
incidentally the regions to the north
commonly referred to as the bill for
heating the north pole" Many of the
bills introduced this winter are quite
as far removed from the statute books
as was that famous measure. Labra-
dor is still cold.

sailormen selected from the division.
The cruise has been a practice trip
throughout, but it remained for the
final lap to institute the maneuvers
and tests planned. The intention was
to give the vessels the severest trials
at the finish of their long journey, in
order that any defects in them might
be demonstrated.
In addition to the 16 battleships that
composed the feet, there were the
Yankton and Panther, two storeships,
and two golfers. These were started
ahead from Gibraltar. Before they
had negotiated much of the distance
westward across the Atlantic they
were me by the welcoming fleet sent
out from the United States. This
consisted of the battleships Maine,
sippi, the armored cruisers Montana
and North Carolina, and the scout
cruisers Salem, Birmingham and Ches-

powerful cruisers and two smaller
fighting craft. AS soon as the war
ships were assembled the real work
Of the homeward cruise was under
taken. Admiral Sperry had framed
an elaborate program, in which all the
vessels took part.

We have been building monuments
to those who could massacre the most.
In the c~athedrals of Europe and in
the parks of America you will find ten
monuments to those who have de-
stroyed their kind to every one of
those who have brought the world
light and life; but a better day is
dawning. Seven year ago, writes
Charles L.. Goodell, d. d., in the Hon.
iletic Review. when France made up
its list Of immortals, Napoleon, the
greatest of butchers, headed the list,
but last year it made another roll of
its noble men, and Pasteur, the savior
of human life, stood first. There is an
other Book which has the list of Gods
immortals, and above that list it is
written, 'They that be wise shall
shine as the armament and they that
turn many to righteousness as the
stars forever and ever"

doubt whether our ships could ever be
got ready in time, and whether the
long cruise could ever be accom-
plished without serious disasters. But
every English speaking sailorman
knew in his heart that the great fleet
would be all ready and would start
exactly on time, to the minute, as it did.
Had Confidence In Fleet.
What is more, we all knew that the
great feet would swing around the
world, looking in at the Hawaiian is
lands, the Philippines, into China and
Japan, and back again without the
slightest shade of doubt in the soul
of any American that the fleet would
always acquit itself well and achieve
what 1t set out to do.
This, indeed, is the great thing that
has been accomplished by the feet.
For the first time in history the Pa
ciflc ocean has been put into commits
sion. This is a great fact, a great
achievement, the results of which can
never be changed or lost. Henceforth
in the worlds history the Pacific

nine warships from home waters, were
the most elaborate ever undertaken
by United States war vessels. And
when the fighting craft cast anchor

The bride is just past 30 years OF

Strange and ludicrous scene preced-
ed the ceremony because of Mrs.
Green's efforts to have it performed
with comparative secrecy. When the
bridal party started from Mrs. Green's
home at 1909 Bloomfield avenue, Ho-
boken, in d one-horse cab, to board the
special train which awaited them at
the Lackawanna depot, they were fol-
lowed by a motley procession of deliv-
cry wagons, milk wagons and vehicles
of every description, which were filled
with curious persons and newspaper
men.
Students Hold Up Wagons.
The clatter of the horses on the as
phalt pavement was heard by the 400
students in the Stevens Institute at
Fifth and Hudson streets. They
thought a runaway was passing and
they instantly left their studies and
swarmed into the street. The cab
passed, but they held up the rest of
the procession.
Let us pass!" shouted those in the
wagons. "Hetty Green's daughter is
married"

But the cabdriver knew his business
and he b%elabored his horse so that the
animal went along as it had never

Lackawanna depot, about so yards
ahead of the pursuing vehicles.
That gave Mrs. Green, her daughter
and Wilks time to reach the private
car Avondale before the crowd wal

the car they pulled down the curtains
and nothing more was seen of them.

ended in the total loss of Spanish sea
