DEWEY'S STORY
u. S, Commander Delivered UItl-
matum and Germans Backed
Down, Says Newspaperman.

NEW YORK. Fcb q Edward w.
Harden. New York banker and for
mer newspaper correspondent who
witnessed the battle of Manila, to-day
came to the rescue Of Admira Dewey
in the latter controyersy with the
German ReIchstag and the Kaiser 5
Foreign Once.
Mr. Harden declared that Admiral
Dewey's photographed account Of
the battle was very modest, tactful
and accurate. The German warship
Cormorant, he says, tried to pass the
American picket line. and was hred
upon by the Raleigh when she refused
to stop.
Mr.. Harden took notes on the bat
tie. and from these notes he has writ
ten graphic account, as follows;
Eyewitness Tells Story.
The relations between the Amerl-
can fleet under Admiral Dewey and
the German fleet under the command
Of Admiral VonDiederichs were al
ways tense, and but for the exceeding
patience Of the American commander
there might have been serious conse-
quenCcs.
"Admlral VonDiederichs came carly
in the blockade on board his flagship
Kaiserin Augusta, and took command
Of the German ships These ships
were much in evidence during the
time Of the blockade.
THE Raleigh was on picket duty
one night when a strange vessel was
seen coming up the bay burning no
lights and having the appearance of a
ship seeking TO run the blockade. The
Raleigh signaled her TO stop but no
attention was paid to the signal
Fired Shot Across Bows.
FINALLY the Raleigh fired blank
shot across her bows and turned her
searchlight full on the approach ves-
sci Then it was discovered that it
was the German warship Cormorant
on her way from Mariveles to the an
chorage off Manila.
Action Of other German vessels in
the bay was suspicious, and Admiral
Dewey finally presented his compli-
ments to Admiral NonDiederichs. and
desired TO know If Germany aud the
United States were at ueace or at
war Admiral NonDiederichs evil

~OPIES OF the following appeal were

Mrs. Daniel Wright Of Banksmere.
RivertOn- n J..
For many years it has been my sin
cere desire to have some words or
prayer Tor kindness to dumb animals
included in the litany-
Mercy on Animals, Too.
Therefore, I suggest that the clause,
That II may please Thee to have mercy
upon all men be extended so as to
read That il may please Thee to have
mercy upon all men and incline their
hearts to have mercy upon all fowls OF
the air. beasts and cattle
win YOU be willing to approve Of
this letter and to forward IT with such
approval to the proper committee or
delegates that it may come before the
general convention this year,"
This appeal was made just before
the June, 1913, convention took place;
and no report has been made concern
ing the result.
In all probability it was not acted
upon.
Yet the letter must have caused many
OF the good men to think along new
lines

part as they should in this humane
work In a general way all clergymen

that animals must to some extent be

But our birds can be saved from
needless slaughter since they serve no

unthinking and selfish vanity.
And living they serve many beautiful
purposes, they delight the eve; they
