While holding term of court at Au- gusta once, Judge Walton sentenced a man to seven years in prison for a grave crime. The respondents coun- sel asked for mitigation of the sem tence on the ground that the prison CTS health was very poor. Your hon. or" said he, T am satisfied that my client cannot live out half that term, and beg of you to change the sen- tence" Well, under those circum- stances" said the judge, T will change the sentence.

fleet when the United states aFHidua started from Gibraltar for home. me maneuvers of the fleet, re-enforced by nine warships from home waters, were the most elaborate ever undertaken by United States war vessels. And when the fighting craft cast anchor here February 22, they were in lit con- dition to steam. out to face an enemy.
 The program for the reception ol the fleet on it's return to Hampton Roads was elaborate and worthy of the proud record made by the ships. It practically reversed the program carried out when the fleet sailed
 President Roosevelt, on board the Mayfower, anchored between the Horseshoe and Lynn Haven bay, re- viewed the fleet as it passed in. Rear Admiral Sperry, the other commanders and executive officers, then went aboard the Mayfower to receive the presidents greetings, after which the president in turn visited the flagship of each division and met the assem- bled officers and six representative

should start for it's practice cruise 10 the Pacific from Hampton roads, all the European naval experts on the continent permitted themselves to 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 fleet 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 we'll and achieve what it set out to do.
 This, indeed, Is the great thing that has been accomplished by the fleet. For the first time in history the Pa SihC ONVdH hoS OCCl put iuto sion. This is great fact, great achievement, the results of which can never be changed or lost. Henceforth in the worlds history the Pacific ocean, which first came into interna. tional prominence only with Dewey's great victory in Manila bay and the Japanese victories in their own Wa ters, will loom up in historical impor- tance as did the Mediterranean before Columbus great cruise opened up the Atlantic"
 A better result even than this en- viable achievement during the fleets world cruise, perhaps, is the moral i'm pression made upon the world at large by the majestic appearance and efficiency of our ships while under the eyes of foreign observers.

all kinds. Even after the Russian ships had at last got out into the open sea after their ludicrous battle with the British trawlers on the Dogger banks they had to put into every neu- tral port along the way for coal and provisions, only to be humored or or dered out again, according to the good will of the various port authorities. Then nearly six months had to be spent at Madagascar in refitting, yet during all that time, so Admiral Ro- jestvensky's second in command has testified, none of the crews of any of the Russian war ships was drilled in target practice.
 In short, nothing could be more diff ferent than this sad record of the Rus sian fleet commanders while steaming around Africa and up into the China seas and our own proud record while our 16 battleships, two cruisers, six torpedo boats and an auxiliary fleet of supply ships and colliers steamed around the world.

Second Spanish Armada.

Second Spanish Armada.
 Coming down to more modern times, no one can have forgotten that i'll fated cruise of another Spanish ar mada under Admiral Cervera, which ended in the total loss of Spanish sea power at Santiago de Cuba.
 All these cruises, like that of Ro- iestvensky, were remarkable not only for their tragic endings, but for the series of blunders, follies and mis- haps that attended them from first to last.
 How different in comparison with Nelson and Blake, or even such an early long war cruise as that achieved by old Admiral Drake when he sailed his puny fighting ships all the way from England around the Horn and up to our own waters near what is now Drakes bay,

sionificant Historical Fact.

To the historian 1t cannot but ap- pear as a significant thing that all other previous great cruises in his tory, with the exception of those un' dertaken by English-speaking sailors, have only resulted in disaster and shame. There was the great cruise of the Spanish armada, for instance launched against England by Philip IL of Spain, which ended in such utter rout and disaster.
 About the same time in the far east the Japanese conqueror, Hideyoshi, un- dertook to subjugate Korea and China with a formidable fleet of some 750 war junks, many of them armed with brass cannon, yet his fleet, too, was overcome in fair fight by the com bined war fleets of China and Korea.
