Dewey True to His Ideal

Sitting in his Office recently, and
looking upon the old sea chest which
contains the records OF that fateful
day at Manila. | asked Admiral Dewey
what was uppermost in his mind the
night before the battle Of Manila,
when he contemplated entering a har-
Dor mined with torpedoes His eyes
sparkled as he replied:
All night and all morning my mind
had reverted to one picture-that Of
Flag Officer Farragut. whom ! first
met al New Orleans in 1861. There
We're no admiras in those days. the
captains being the highest ranking
officers and Our commander was the
flag officer We young cadets grew
instinctiyely TO admire the intrepid
Farragut, and that night at Mobile
will never be forgotten. when his
voice rang out loud and clear: Damn
the torpedoes-full speed ahead.
Somehow that command would ring
In my ears every time danger con-
fronted us One does not instructive
ly think OF himself In such moments,
but OF some hero whose life has inn
pressed him"
Then / ventured to ask the admiral
why he did not give his command at
Manila In some dramatic and stentor-
Ian way like Farragut With that
modesty known only 10 Dewey, he re-
piled. II was not thinking OF myself;
was thinking OF Farragut."
Dewey's command 10 begin one or
the greatest battles in all history was
given in an ordinary tone. as II he
were simply ordering a cup OF coffee.
History records II that he calmly said
20 the commander "Gridley. when
you are ready, fire"
History is made by the men who
carry with them all their lives some
ideal and who with limitless bravery
and courage give in less than sixty
seconds those commands that make
history for ages.-Joe Mitchell Chap

WRECKED BANK; SIX YEARS
Walter SOulhedland. Young Cashier
Goes to Federal Prison
AS EmbeZzeler.

Bristol, Va, May 14.-At the con-
cluson Of trial lasting seven days
during which much sensational evi.
dence was adduced, Walter d. South
erland, 4 young bank cashier, was civ.
en- six years in the Federal prison fol
his part in the wrecking of the Natl
onal Bank of Clintwood in Dickinson
county.
1t was charged that he skipped i'm
mediately after the bank closed its
doors and carried away more than
$1,000 of the banks funds. Evidence
was shown that although a married
man he had planned to elope with a
woman to whom he had written en-
dearing letters.
A former hearing resulted in mis-
trial, but this time the evidence was
materially strengthened. Switzerland
sought to make it appear that certain
directors and not himself were respon.
sible for the failure. Switzerland will
be sent to the Atlanta penitentiary.
