This order was given Gen. Ty-

The pursuit was prosecuted by
Gen. Tyler with his customary
courage and vigor, as Is attested
by frequent references to his
dash and daring in both Federal
and Confederate histories of those
stirring events. Wyeth's his

the stimulus of foolish Zeppelin at
lacks and bombardments of watering
places, with the murder of fishermen
and merchant sailors, there has come
a temper in this country which has
never been seen before and which cr-
ables us now to bend our whole en-
ergy to the task without TO
those methods OF compu1sion which
are hateful to our conceptions of
freedom. The War would never have
been taken so seriously by our easy
going people had it not been for the
mistakes OF our enemy in indulging
in these senseless brutalities which
have frightened no one but which
have exasperated every one, so that
any government which suggested "a
compromise would not live for a day.
The s%candalous treatment OF Our
prisoners (now greatly ameliorated)
has helped to the same end.
The result is that Great Britain
will enter the second year of the
war greatly strengthened in every
way, with her navy unimpaired, her
army ten times larger, and her peo-
pie united in fighting to an absolute
finish, cost what it may. That the
cost will be heavy in lives and mon
