able to win the war of 1912. Even so,
we suffered some defeats on land, al
though our sea victories more than bal
anced these. The year began badly for
the Americans, our forces having taken
being surrounded and captured by the
British four days later. Another Amer
ican army in April captured York, now
Toronto, but an effort to take Montreal
met with no success.
At sea the year told another story.
Despite the fact that Britain then, as
now, was mistress Of the seas, our lit
tie wooden vessels drove the mistress
out of her own watery dooryard. Two
English ships, the Resolution and the
Peacock, we're stung by the American
Hornet during the month OF February
and both captured. These were gallant
actions, and we can imagine our great
granddaddies celebrating the double
victory with as much of the hard cider
and applejack as would be left in the
cellar In February. Along in June
came another tale OF glory when the
Chesapeake captured the Shannon, and
in September occurred one more nag
waving day when our Enterprise
brought the British Boxer into port.
Perry's Victory.
September, 1918, was a big month
for the Americans. The rejoicing over
the Enterprise Boxer AFFAIR was but a
faint prelude to the chorus of jubila-
tion heard all over Yankeedom when
Perry's laconic message came down
from Lake Erie; 1--WE have met the
enemy, and they are ours-two ships,
two brtgs, one schooner and one sloop."
Oliver Hazard Perry never posed as a
phrasemaker or juggler of the queens
English, yet in that dispatch he gave
us a sentence that will be repeated as
long as there are Fourth Of July ora
tors and school histories.
Into the battle that has ragged over
tho respective merits Of Commodore
Perry and Commandant Elliott and
over the comparative strength of the
American and British ships engaged
there is no use Of entering at this late
day. Perhaps the Americans had the
larger force. If so 1t was more than

the work of Mr.. Clay Burton Vance,
