THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH
The address of welcome to the fleet, its officers
and men by the President was delivered on the
Mayfower. It follows:
Admiral Sperry, officers and men of the bat
lie feet. over year has passed since you
steamed out of this harbor and over the worlds
rim, and this morning the hearts OF all who
saw YOU thrilled with pride as the hulls of the
mighty warships lifted above the horizon. You
have been in the Northern and the Southern
hemispheTes: four times you have crossed the
line you have steamed through all the great
oceans; you have touched the coast or every
continent. Ever your general course has been
westward: and now you come back to the port
from which you set sail IhiS is the nrst Dallle
fleet that has CirCumnavigated the globe
Those who perform the feat again can but fol-
low in your footsteps.
around South America. through the Strait OF
Magellan, to own Pacific Coast The ar
mored cruiser squadron met you. and left you
again when you were half way round the Worid.
You have falsifcd every prediction or the
prophets of failure. In ali your long cruise not
accident worthy of mention has happened 10
a single battleship. nor yet to the cruisers or
torpedo boats. You left this coast in a high
state Of battle efficiency. and you return with
,rour efficiency increa sed: better prepared than
when you left not only in personnel. but even
in material. During your world cruise you
skilled though you were before with the guns,
you have grown more skilful still; and through
practice you have improved in battle tactics
though here there is more room for Improvement
than in your gunnery. Incidentally. l suppose 1
need hardly say that one measure of your fit
ness must be your clear recognition Of the need
always steadily to strive TO render yourselves
more fit; If you ever grow to think that you are
fit enough you make up your minds that
from that moment you will begin to 60 back
ward.
As war machine, the feet comes back in
better shape than il went out. In addition
you, the officers and men of this formidable
fighting force. have shown yourselves the best
OF all possible ambassadors and heralds OF
peace. Wherever you have landed you have
borne yourselves to make at home proud
of being your Countrymen. You have shown
that the best type of fighting man of the sea
knows how to appear to the utmost possible ad-
vantage when his business is to behave himself
shore and TO make good impression in a
foreign land We proud of all the ships and
all the men in this whole feet. and We welcome
you home to the country whose good repute
among nations has been raised by what you
