feelings. The feeling that is uppermosr is one of profound grief that these lads should have had to go to their death. And yet there is mixed with that grief a profound pride that they should have gone as they did and. if I may say it our of my heart. d touch of envy of those who were permitted so quietly, so nobly to do their 3uty.
 Have you thought of it men, here is the roster of the navy. the list of the men, officers and enlisted men and ma rines, and suddenly there swim 19 of the stars out of the list men who have gone suddenly into the firmament of memory where We shall always zee their names shine; not because they called upon us to admire them, but because they served us without asking any questions and in the performance of a duty which is laid upon Us as well as upon them.
 Duty Not Uncommon
 "Dnty is not an uncommon thing. gentlemen. Men are performing it in the ordinary walks of life all around us. all the time. and they are making great sac rifices to perform it. What gives men like these peculiar distinction? Not merely that they did their duty, but that thelr duty had nothing to do with them or with their own personal and peculiar 1n- terests. They did not give their lives  us because we called upon them as Il nation to perform an unexpected duty. That is the way in which men grow dis tinguished. and that is the only way-by serving somebody else than themselves. And what greater thing could you serve than a nation such as this we love and are proud of?
 Are you sorry for these lads? Are you sorry for the way they will be remem- bered? Does 1t not quicken your pulses to think of the list of them? l hope to God none of you may join the list but if you do you will join an immortal com pany.
 "So while you are profoundly sorrowful and while there goes out of our hearts a very deep and affectsonate sympathy to friends and relatives of these-who Tor the rest of their lives shall mourn them though with a touch of pride-we Know why we do not go away from this oc- casioh cast down. but with our heads lifted and our eyes in the future of this country, with absolute confidence Of how 1t will be worked out, not only the more vague future of this country, but the inn mediate future
