were now to have our reward for
the four years grind We were
to see the world. With three of
my classmates | was assigned to
the Wabash, a steam frigate Of
over four thousand tons, with a
powerful battery for her day and
one of class Of SIX that had been
built in 1855. The Merrimac of
this class, which fell into South
ern hands in the Norfolk navy
yard at the outbreak Of the Civil
war, became the famous ironclad
which the Confederates called the
Virginia, but which was always
known in the North by her orig
inal name. The Wabash was the
flagship of the Mediterranean
squadron, bearing the flag of
Flag Officer f. A. +. La Valette.
At that time the highest rank in
the navy was captain, SO that the
commander Of a squadron was
known as the flag officer.
Flag Officer La Valette, vet
eran of 1912, had been in the
battle of Lake Champlain He
was a white-haired, fne-appear-
ing old officer and a very worthy

The Wabash was a ship of
which we could be justly proud,
which means great deal to any
naval officer when he is in for
eign waters. He does not like to
feel that his country s flag is
flying over an antiquatd craft,

the depressing years Of the seven

mand on May l. 1898, of an
= American squadron in the first
important naval action against a
foreign foe since the War OF lol2.
The morning we steamed into Ma
Mia bay marked an epoch IN the
history of our navy and our coun-
try in it's relations with other ma
tions. A battle in a harbor whose
name was unknown to our aver
age citizen made us a world pow
err with a resultant impetus to the
national imagination and a new
entail of national responsibilities.
NV orders were to capture or de-
strov the enemy S force, and to
conduct offensive operations IN
the Philippine Islands. These or
ders endeavored to obey with
all possible expedition in keeping
with the traditions of our navy.
After the battle | received so
many requests from publishers
and editors for contributions IN
any form under my name that |
might well have concluded that
the victory which had come as
the climax Of my naval career
was about to embark me on a
literary career, toward which |
had naturally had the disinclina-
ton of a man of action Urgings
from many quarters to write my
"reminiscences have continued to
the present time. Ny answer in
variably has been that my record
ND to the time of the battle had
not in itself sufficient personal
significance to warrant an auto
biography; for the life of every
naval officer doing his duty as 1t
comes to him, under the authority
of the president and of congress,
merges into the life of the whole
navy so that it becomes a mere
unit in the preparation for ma
tional defense in a crisis.
In keeping with the decision
made when | was at Manila, my
official reports have been thus
far my only public account of the
battle. However, after my return
to Washington, for the sake Of
historical accuracy an account of
nv command Of the Asiatic
squadron from the time | hoisted
my commodore S pennant until
nv return home in 1899 was pre-
pared. My plan was not to have
this published until after my
death. But now, fourteen years
after the battle, | am yielding to
the arguments of my friends, not
only to have it published, but
also to write my recollections of
nv career before Manila bay
brought me into prominent pub
lie notice.
1t is ffty-eight years since |
became an acting midshipman,
Thanks to the creation of the
grade of admiral Of the navy
by congress in 1899, | was not
retired at the usual age, but
kept on the active list for life.
My memory stretches from an
apprenticeship under the veter-
ans of the War of 1912, those
heroes of the old sailing frigates
and ships of the line from the
earlier days of the steam frigates
through the Civil War from the
period Of inertia in the seventies
when our obsolete ships were the
byword of the navies of the
world, to the building of the
ships of our navy, which | was
to give its first baptism of fire
and. finally, to my service as head
of the general board Of the navy
since the Spanish war.

KNOWLEDGE OF EVIL NEEDED
Virtue and Progress in the Right Path
Cannot Spring From Mere
Innocence.

Innocence is lovely in the child, be
cause in harmony with its nature; Blu;
our path in life is not backward but
onward, and virtue can never be the
offspring of mere innocence. If we
are to progress in the knowledge OF
good, we must also progress in the
knowledge of evil. Every experience
of evil brings it's own temptation, and
according to the degree In which the
evil is recognized and the temptations
resisted will be the value of the char
acter into which the individual will
develop.
Innocence may be beautiful, but can
never be strong, while the whole es-
sence of virtue lies in it's strength
to resist and power to endure. II the
innocence of childhood be replaced by
the firm principles Of integrity and
honor, the loss will be really great
gain. 1t is only where the Knowledge
Of eVff is unattended by appreciation
Of its nature, where temptations are
yielded to and not resisted. that we
are induced to grieve over the depart
ure Of that innocence which, was SO
beautiful in earlier years.
