ADMIRAL FLETCHER, HERO OF VERA
 CRUZ, IS 59 TO-DAY

If the United States navy should be awarded a contract to mop up the seas with the fleet or. we'll, any partic- 1lIar nation you think needs a drub- ping, the man Of the hour would be Rear Admiral Frank Friday Fletcher, U. S. N commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet of the United States Ad- I11ira1 Fletcher, who will begin his six tieth year today, proved his fitness for the job by the neatness and despatch with which he took possession of Vera. Cruz. Admiral Badger. then com 4faander of the Atlantic fleet, was in charge of the batt1eships, but Fletcher was supreme on shore during those early days of the occupation of the Mexican seaport city by marines and terized by hds frequent adInonition, ssBe gentle but hrIn.' Admiral FIetch- CT succeeded Admiral Badger in com mand of the great battleship feet a couple Of months ago. The two ad- ulfrals were classmates at Annapolis, from which institution Fletcher grad uated in 1875. He was born in Iowa. far from the bounding pillows on which he now makes his home He first made a reputation in the navy as ordnance authority, and when the Spanish war broke out Fletcher was serving in the ordinances department at Washington He remained there throughout the brief conflict between Ethe naughty Dons and their despised but very efficient foes, the Yankee pigs.n Therefore he had no chance to win that sort of glory which gets a front page position in the newspapers, but there is no doubt that he contrib uedt to the victories at Santiago and Manila by being strictly lon the job'' at Washing ton. In 1908 he was pro noted to the rank of captain, and in 1911 he donned the uniform of a rear admiral. Personally the Atlantic fleet commander is of medium height, broa dshouldered, with piercing eyes and a bristling mustache. He is far from being loquacious. but he has 9 kindly heart. as many Ia man in the navy can testify. He is an inventor l of considerable ability, and breech mechanism of his contrivance has
 been adopted throughout the navy
 while a signal system he degised is
 considered the very best of it's kind
 The most capable, earnest and we'll
 baIanced officer to whom our feel
 might be entrusted" is Secretary Dan
