the hair standing up from the head

fashion was described by Or. Dorsey.

After Around the World Sixteen Waships Drop Anchor
in Hampton Roads-President Reviews Fleet

But it was a source Of great comfort
to the navy as fighting arm Of the

been given by any other country to
the stricken people Of Sicily in the re-

It was also matter Of pride to the
government that portion of the feet
was able to visit China at the time
the Boxer indemnity was RENTED by
the United States. Incidentally, it
may be remarked that after discuss
ing the question of a declaration of
principles with the United States as
to the attitude of this country and
Japan toward China and In the Pa
cifc, the agents of the mikado were
in more agreeable frame of mind
for affixing their signatures to the
document, after the visit Of the feet
to Japan.
After having cruised 10000 miles
with little or no repairs to the ships
during all this time, Admiral Sperry;
was proud to report to the navy de-,
partment from Gibraltar that the en-
tire command would go, intact, half
that distance again without single
vessel necessarily being sent to dock,
unless, of course, the unforeseen
should happen. Even naval experts,
who have carefully studied all of the
reports of Admiral Evans, who TOOK
the Saeet around the Horn to San
Francisco, and Of Admiral Sperry,
who brought it home, are at loss
as to how to measure accurately the
real value Of the great cruise from .
naval or military point of view.
To say that President Roosevelt
was the happiest man in the great
and joyous multitude that greeted the
feet, probably needs no corroborative
proof. In the face of criticism of his
action in ordering the cruise, and the
prediction that all the costly engines
of war would never reach home safe
ly, the fleet has completed its cruise
and come to anchor in the harbor
from which it venturde forth, and the
president was as happy as school
boy.
"Not until some American feet re-
turns victorious from a great sea bat
tie will there be another such home
coming, another such sight as this.
drink to the American navy"
This was the toast of President
Roosevelt as he stood radiantly hap
by in the cabin Of the graceful little
cruiser-yacht Mayhower at the conclu-
sion of the review an dthe ceremonies
attending the welcome home. He was
surrounded by the adm1ralS ana cap
tains of the sixteen world-encircling
vessels, brilliantly attired in all the
gold lace and paraphernalia Of special
full dress uniform, and every glass
was raised in response to the presi-
dents suggestion, I'VE stay-at-homes
also drink to the men who have made
us prouder than ever Of our country"
added the president and again the
toast was pledged.
when the feet sailed from San
Francisco, Mr.. President" replied
Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry, you
sent us message saying that ours
was heavy responsibility and a great
honor. That we have today fulfilled
the responsibility makes this the very
proudest moment of our lives. say
We advisedly, in speaking OF the
feet. for no one man could have done
what has been done without the loyal
and willing cooperation of every man
in the feet"
Thus briefly the commander-in-chief
Of the returning ships made his off,
cial report to the commander-in-chief
Of the army and the navy.

nothing great in the play but it is
one of those American comedies which

and very probable situations and was
much appreciated.
Mark Smith as Bob Blake, the tray-
cling salesman, was excellent. As one
