their approach by watching for the

1t Is impossible to see or hear an aero
plane at a distance Of even ten miles.
In many of our harbors low fog
banks, broken by many riffs, and extend
ing only a short distance out from the
fortified shore, are very common. Should
coast defense commander have reason
to expect an attempt to run by from
hostile vessels behind such fog bank,
the service of hydro might prove in
valuable. The flagship would be located
by circling over the harbor entrance; the
observer would make preparatory sig
nal, and then the pilot should describe a
series Of regular circles, keeping his alti-
tude constant, and passing during the
course of each circle vertically over the

At the same time, with all his blunt

is that told of the occasion when the late

Like Kitchener, Lord Fishers motto
has always been Deeds, not words" It
is a remarkable fact that the ship he
commanded always had the motto, Isl

Baron Fisher of Kilverstone, admiral OF

1911, and the strong right arm Of the
navy Of the British empire today.

upon a nation that nation must throw

At the bombardment of Alexandria in
1882 he showed the sternness Of his
nature. He had the task allotted to him
Of organizing the police force which
sought to restore order and suppress
looting after the capture of the city. He
shot the guilty on sight and restored or
der in a few hours. Some of his inti
mate friends, even officers of his own
ship, were caught with looted goods on
them. They begged in vain for mercy.
He had them all courtmartialed and Sc
verely punished.
Many years before the present war
opened he expressed his hatred of sub
marines. Several times he has said that
II he ever caught the crew of a hostile
submarine in time of war he would
string them up to the yardarm, even II

The English call Lord Fisher the
Kitchener of the navy" They firmly be-
lieye that whatever he sets out to do will
be done. irrespective of time, trouble or
consequence. Everyone in the navy be-
lieves in him and he could receive no
greater compliment than that which was
paid to him by a young English lieuten
ant some time ago.
His lordship was being discussed
among some Junior officers when some
body remarked that he probably would
be shelved by the age limit before he
had brought about the reforms he de-
sired.

ions said, that only goes to show that

brook no Sinking from any man under

officer or handy man who dares to ques-

c. M. Savage Passes Away.

One our oldest, most substan-
tial and best citizens, Mr.. Cliff
ford M. Savage, passed to his
reward at his home here just at
the close of the day last Thurs
day. Mr.. Savage was a native
of England and came to this city
more than fifty years ago when
ne was quite young man. He
began life here as a clerk and
gradually worked himself
through the different places of
clerk, bookkeeper, merchant and
banker to the position of presi-
dent of the Merchants & Farm
.ers Bank, which position he held
at the time of his death.
AS a-business man, Mr.. Saw
age was very successful. His
great energy with his incite into
the real worth of property
brought him wealth such as his
frugal habits and fidelity to trust
deserved. This accumulation of
this worlds goods he handled as
becomes a christian gentleman,
never using the power which il
CAV. MIN to oppress those less
fortunate than himself; but on
the contrary, he was ever ready
to help the deserving poor and
to lend financial aid to the strug-
Cling brother whose purpose
seemed to be honest and honor
able. be ne ever so humble and
poor. The worthy negro did not
go without his aid and advice
Many are they who will sadly
miss him as friend and council
lor.
In the community, he was q
quiet a ID peaceful citizen, a man
of few words and many actions.
He could always be relied upon
to help in whatever caus e
he thought to be for the
u ,tuil ling of the community or
the betterment of the people.
His big, responsive heart was
full of sympathy for the fallen
and downtrodden, and his purse
str n IS were easily loosened to
aid the needy of this or any
foreign land, but of these acts
he made no show before the
world and it was only by accident
that the outsider could know of
his charity.
He united himself with the
Baptist Church early in life and
lived a consistent member until
his death. He was also a men,
ber of the Masonic Lodge, and
these two institutions united in
p,yiny the last sad rites to the
m mory of this beloved brother.
Truly it can be said, "A good
man has gone" The county
has lost one of her best citizens;
the church, one of her pillars;
, tn, lodge, a faithful member;
the business community, a safe
advisor; the poor, a true friend;
his family, a kind, indulgent and
:, living husband and father; and
i, tne community, benefactor.

daughters, Mrs. c. P. Day and

grand children to mourn his loss.
To these the Messenger extends
deepest sympathy.
