ADMIRAL .MAHAN
DIES IN WASHINGTON
OF HEART TROUBLE.
Great Writer Of Naval
Strategy and Retired u.
S. Officer Passes Away
at National Capital

Washington. December 1.-Rear Adj
mir.I Alfred t. Mahan, U. $. n. retired
acclaimed in naval circles as the ''Great-
eat modern writer ON naval strategy,"
died .t the naval hospital here today.
aged "a years. Death was due to heart
trouble.
Admiral Mahan had overtaxed his
strength studying the great European
conflict, and it is believed the many long
hours he devoted to following the naval
operations of the belligerents probably
caused the breakdown that FASTENED his
end.
In the early stages of the European
war Admiral Mahan. whose works are
naval text books almost the world over,
discussed for the newspapers the signifi-
canoe of various naval maneuvers. He
gave up these activities when President
Wilson issued his proclamation exhortine
navy and army Officers to desist from
anything resembling a partisan discussion
of the conflict. He. however, did moi
relax his close observation OF ali that
went on in Europe.
Admiral Mahan came to Washington
from his home in Quogue. Long Island
in early autumn. and had planned tc
spend the winter here.

Thomas Episcopal church in this city

Ordered to Land.

On Tuesday afternoon We received
the first definite information that We
were to land Immediately on arrival
Pat 4 o'clock in the afternoon We were
7 ordered to dye our white service uni
forms khaki color, or as near tha.
color as possible. BY 6 o'clock that
night every man of the landing force
had his two outfits dyed and dried,
which gives some idea of the re-
sourcefulness Of big battleship. True
the outcome might not have satisfied
the critical eye Of a fas,idious Wo-
man, but the result was such as to
: make it more difficult for a Mexican
to see his game.
How was this dye1ng accomplished?
The ships hospital furnished us with
about three gallons Of iron solution
We wet our clothes in plain water,
dipped them in the iron bath, then
in dilute lye bath and hung them
on the line 20 rust At 2:20 on the
morning of April % we dropped an
chor just outside of Vera Cruz har-
Dor. The impressions of those mo-
ments on deck while waiting to en-
bark on the ships boats will long re-
main with us. The entire city was
spread out before US. The twinkling
Of countless street lights suggested
fairy land; but We knew from the ex-
perience of the Utan and the Florida
the day before that appearances were
and that on landing we
Should probably find some drawbacks
to the enjoyment of life.
, Each man carried $50 pounds of
ammunition and "a hours emergency
rations. AS soon as boat would fill
with men it would shove off TO make
room for another. All running lights
would be put out and at once the
boat would be lost in the darkness
With engine muffled, it made its way
through the breakwater as best it
could to pier No. 4, where We were
to disembark. All the Mexican for
tIfcations around the city were blind
ed by our searchlights. This was a
peaceful and very effective way TO
protect our little open boats from a
fire that would have been disas .rous.
! As it was We were exposed only to
the fire of individuals in boats and
along the water front. This fortunately
did US no further harm than TO keep
our nervous tension Up to a high
pitch. 1t was not till We had landed
4 on the dock that we suffered our first
loss. While waiting for the remainder
sof the regiment to disembark one of
our number fell with a bullet through
bis brain. Then was shown the value
.B Of the hard training and discipline of
the military life. Though The forces
were made up of boys scarcely ou. of
their teens, very few of whom had

SOUTH CAROLINA'S PART
IN TAXING OF VERA Cruz
Richard {. Reed, Jr., in Letter to The
State Tells OF Occupation by
Marines OF Mexican Port.

The State
Thy ba tIesnip South Carolina play
ed an important part in the capture
Oh Vera Cruz. Richard C. Reed, Jr,
of Columbia is member of the crew
Of the South Carolina, being employed
as an electrician. He was recently
app intad as an assistant paymas er
Of the navy. Mr.. Reed has sent the
following story Of the fight at Vera
Cruz to The State:
The SAFE of South Caroli2a may
we'll be p"oud Of the battleship that
bears ner name, though the s1ip her
self had no opportunity to show her
prowess. Her crew formed the second
battalion of the second naval regi-
ment, the resigment ina. was to eXpe-
rience the sharpest engagement of the
three days fighting and 10 suffer the
greatest loss in killed and wounded,
After coaing and receiving supplies
at Key West, we awaited the arrival
of the vanguard of the Atlantic fleet,
consisting OF the Arkansas, New Jer-
sey, New Hampshire and Vermont.
These arrived on April 10 and imme-
diately the trip to Vera Cruz was
begun.
For two days We steamed ahead
in battle formation, the flagship in
the lead and the South Carolina in
the rear. The rear position was as
signed US because our cap,ain was
junior to all other captains in the
squadron.
Until Tuesday midday the speed
of the fleet had been 1912 knots an
hour. Then the flagship signaled to
break formation and each ship was
ordered to make is best speed to
Vera Cruz. Ten minuets after the sig
nal was given our big forced draught
blowers were going and volunteers
from the deck force were in the fire
rooms Every man did his best, with
the result thai within an hour the
Vermont was trailing in our wake,
and after another hour and half We
/ had edged the New Hampshire out
of third place Our ambition was to
put the New Jersey behind us and
then make the speedy Arkansas look
to her laurels. But before we realized
our ambition a signal was received to
hold to II knots for the rest of the
trip.

Between
Ourselves

II. Gordon Selfridge, the Ameri
can merchant who startled London
a few years ago by opening real,
live American department store, ar
rived yesterday on the Olympic.
Mr.. Selfridge says the American
department store is the very highest
type of commercial efficiency. He
knows, because as partner of the
late Marshall Field and as owner of
the large London store which bears
his name, he has had ample oppor-
tunity to observe.
The American department store is
n thing separate and apart from
anything else In the world. 1t has
no counterpart in the modern com
mercial world. 1t is distinctive.
Did you ever stop to think what
an institution the American big store
really is: How ii serves you ?
How it entertains you? How it
places at your very feet, as it were.
the products of the East and the
West, the North and the South?
The department store is thing
distinctly Americana thing to be
proud of.
Newark is remarkably fortunate
in the possession of MANY good
department stores and the Newark
department stores are fortunate In
being located in a city which AP-
PRECIATES good service.
