CHRISTMAS 100 YEARS AGO.
Apprehension Felt From British Navy
In tho War of 1912.

NPPI S'oHo'oH TSlt TToU DTlIlSO Navy
In tho War Of 1912.
Six months of the war of 1872 had
elapsed when the people of the United
States celebrated Christmas a hundred
years ago, Hull had surrendered De.
troit but another Hull had won de-
cided victory over the British ship
Guerrero while another ship, the
United States, had captured the Mace
donian. In New York a great Christ
mas banquet was given to Captain
Isaac Hull, commanding the Constitu.
tion, "Old lronsides,' which had won
the battle with the Guerriere, and to
Captain Stephen Decatur, commander
of the United States.
The banquet was given in the City
hotel, which occupied the whole front
of block from Cedar to Thames
streets, in the vicinity of Wall street.
This was the last Christmas festival
in New York till after the signing OF
the peace treaty, for in 1913 the city
was plunged into black despair over
the fear of the British navy and the
distress that had been caused to our
commerce and shipping.
Looked at from this distance, it
seems little less than a miracle that
the comparatively puny American navy
should have whipped the navy of Great
Britain, then the greatest in the world.
The panic in which our chief seaport
town was thrown by the fear of attack
IRON the mistress of the seas is easily
understood
