MpA PRESENTED 70 ADr11RA1 JOHN PAv1. JONES

John Paul Jones of a suitable medal
concentrating the occasion. A duplicate
OF this medal is now on exhibition in the
library of the Navy Department.
1t is a fact worthy of note that the
resolution conveying the thanks OF Con-
gresS to Jones is the most complimentary
of the kind ever passed by that body. 1t
is even more fervid than that accorded
Gen. George Washington. In closing the
resolution says: For the good conduct
and eminent services by which he has
added luster to his character and to the
American arms.
The board of admiralty. in its report to
Congress- on the service of Jones. made
table sentiment He hath made the flag
of America respected among the flags or
other nations John Paul Jones was the
first man to hoist the first authorized
American flag over regularly commits
stoned war vessel. He baptized 1t In hOh-
orable blood and sanctified it with true
American courage. His reply to the COM
mander of the Scraps. who, when the
flag of the Bon Homme Richard had been
broken down in battle and his vessel al
most demolished, asked If Jones had
struck his colors, will never be forgotten:
Il have not yet begun to fight, replied
Jones. And he proved it.
No historian of American warfare and
American honor neslects to recount the
story of Commander Edward Preble of
achievements in this short but effective
war form one of the most brilliant chap
tiers in American history. We had not
yet convinced the world that we could
fight on the seas. John Paul Jones had
made reputation for himself and the

American navy. but much of his sue
cess was credited to his personal genius.
Preble and the men under him con-
WINGED the world that the spirit of Paul
Jones was still alive Under the very
muzzles Of his guns Preble forced the
Bashaw of Tripoli to his knees and ex-
tracted a treaty of peace. Congress
adopted resolution of thanks to Preble
and his men March 3, 1905. This was
the first act of the kind of the regular
American Congress-.
At 1870 O'Clock the morning of Sep
TENDER TO- 1913, Capt. Oliver Hazard
Perry. in command of the American fleet
opposing the British on Lake Erie, sighted
the vessels of the enemy. Give the men
their dinners" ordered Perry. He knew
that men with full stonlachs would send
cannon balls home more readily and with
more zeal than hungry men. The battle
pegan at l2:''o and lasted almost three
hours. 1t was desperate and rapid But
1t was over in time for supper.
Perry made daring dash in a small
boat from his disabled ship to another
in the midst of sthe battle He was an
easy target for the enemy but he made
the transfer safely and with fresh shin
and fresh men turned the tide of the
battle and won against great odds. For
his galiantry he received the thanks of
Congress. January 6, 1914 II was Perry
who wrote his report OF this battle To
ter: We have met the enemy and they
are ours
One year and day later. September
IL, 1914, Capt. Thomas MacdonouSh ac-
complished a notable victory over the
English in Lake Champlain He con-
quered the British and Indians i'm a bril-
liant engagement and against large odds.

scribes in a nutshell, the result or the
effort to save fresh-water fish. But as
those destroyers were not hshefmen'
the results are not due to the casting
of bread upon the waters. 1t is purely
a case of scientific evolution. developed
nv close study and investigation. and
the efforts to prevent the destruction
of the toothsome perch and the gamy
bass have led TO the saving of money
making materials and have Increased
dividends. All this because the fish IN
the neighborhood of factories along IN
land streams persisted in showing their
white stomachs at the surface of the
water.
The discovery of the cause that the
fish succumbed to death by poisoning
led the factory owners to gather their
waste instead of casting it into the
water: the waste proved capable of be-
ing turned into commercial utilities:
commercial utilities brought more
money, and more money brought great
er dividends When the dividends in
creased. so did the fish, and now the
factory owners are serene. the fish
tranquil and the anglers delighted.
This condition was brought to light
scarcely more than two years ago.
when the residents along the banks of
certain stream in Pennsylvania asked
the state authorities to investigate the
cause of the almost total wiping out of
fish in certain parts of the river. The
investigation was thorough. 1t took in
the water first and analysed il. Tannic
acid told the tale and the existence of
the many tanning factories along the
stream gave the theme OF the tale.
They killed the fish by slow poison.
At once the state got after the fac
tories, and the factories examined their

DIE thanks OTGONGRISS

For his conduct in this battle lie was
voted the thanks of Congress October 20.
1874 On the Sd Of November following
Congress voted equal honors to Maj. Gen.
Brown, Mai. Gen. Gaines and Maj. Gen.
Macomb for their cooperation with the
land forces in the same engagement and
subsequent campaigns in Canada. The
Macomb resolution specially mentioned
the battle of Plattsburg. September II.
1914. The Gaines resolution mentions the
victory over the British at Erie, August
Is, and the Brown resolution cites vic
tories in upper Canada.
X x
Gen Andrew jackson was specially
honored by Congress for his notable vic
tory over the British at the battle of
New Orleans, January 8. 1915. This bat
tie was the elimination of a brilliant
campaign through Alabama and Missis-
sippi when the Creek Indians. operating
under the direction of the British, were
finally conquered for all time.
April 4, 1916, Congress voted thanks to
Gen. W. Fl. Harrison and Gov. Isaac
Shelby of Kentucky for their, signal vic
tory over the British and Indians under
Maj. Gen. Proctor in Canada, by which
Michigan was restored to the United
States. AS a result of this campaign the
enemy was captured, together with bag
gage camp equipment and artillery. GOV.
Shelby had called for 1000 volunteers to
20 to the relief OF Gen. Harrison at Fort
Meigs Four thousand responded and
thew were the pick of the fighting blood
of old Kentucky.
1t will be remembered of Gen. Harrison
