Victories Raise Him to Pitch Of

how 'DAvY' HAS MADE GOOD
An Irlshman, Born In England, Who
Married an American, Has Risen

usually Early Age.

London.-"The Defender Of Britain"
that is the title sentimental and en-.
thusiastic Englishmen are bestowing
on Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty,
professional infant prodigy. Long one
Of the most popular-as he is the
wealthiest-man in the British navy.
his two victories of Helgoland blight
and the east coast raid engagement in
which the Bluecher was sunk have
raised him to pitch in the civilians
estimation which certainly was not ex.
celled by Sir Francis Drake or Lord
Nelson.
Stilled forever are the murmurs that
the Marshall Field millions which his
wife brought him had little too much
70 do with his astonishing rise in rank.
Il is not goiag too far to predict, too
that the place now taken at court by
Lady Beatty will affect favorably the
social position of all Americans in
London
Now that "Davy" has made good"
many are recalling the prophetic
words penned by Filson Young In
March, 1913. He wrote:
David Beatty is too young to be
even name to the man in the street,
but those who do know him look to
him for more than a name-for the
highest fame, if time and the hour are
favorable No one who knows Beatty
eas any doubts or fears for him. He
Will make good Perhaps there will
ee nothing for some years but brief
sentences in small type devoted to
naval intelligence. But to such as can
discern his movements in that l say.
Keep your eyes on Beatty"
Wins Two Victories.
Great Britain so far has scored
three great naval successes; Of these
TWO we're won by ships under Beatty's
hand. If Sir John Jellico were injured
or otherwise incapacitated for his high
ONCE, British popular opinion would
clamor loudly that Beatty be put in his
place.
Sir David comes from a famous
sporting family of Wexford, Ireland
and his air and movement show his
breeding, His step is 1.-THE, and almost
nlrdlike. He gives the impression Of
restrained, wonderful energy which q
framed prize fighter exhibits on enter
ing the ring. On edge all the time is
Beatty. He has a bulldog face, a fight
ing face, which would attract attention
anywhere. His head bears a great re
semblance to Napoleon's. He resembles
Bonaparte, too, in his great staying
power. After seven months of worl
IN which he has spent two hours in al
with his family and many times hai
worked "a hours day, his grip on hi!
loo Is as strong as ever. Like thu
great French conqueror, he seems i'm
pervious to fatigue.

and when Tyler, James and Rudolph
began to NOW down the opposition
there was no chance for the young coli
legian. Then came day Of double
header, and after the Phillies had mas
sacred the climbing Braves in the first
game Davis was shunted to the moun0

vengeance, standing Tincup, Rixey

Davis came originally from VIII
liams college, where he was a star on
the ball team. After leaving college
in 1913 he signed with the Boston
Braves, but was sent to the Intena
tional league for more seasoning
Great things are expected of him thia
year, and as one Of the marvellous trio

Beatty was born in England by an
accident. His father, Capt. D. L. Beat
ty of Berodale, was an ardent fox
hunter and In the season of 1901,
he brought his family over from Ire
land to Hirobeck lodge, at Natwich,
Cheshire, because he desired to hunt
with the Cheshire hounds. Thus 1t
came about that a fine boy was born to
Mrs. Beatty on English soil.
1t is said that young David entered
the naval profession by a chance too.
He was thirteen years old in 1884
when his father got an unexpected
chance to make him naval cadet. Six
wears later, the boy became a sublleu-
tenant and with his majority he was a
full blown lieutenant.
1t was not long before a chance of
taking part in real fighting came his
way In 1898 Lord Kitchener's expe.
dition to Khartum brought out those
qualities which have served Beatty in
such good stead in the North sea. As
second in command of the Nile fiotilla
his first job was to get the gunboata
over the cataracts, Later on, the in
itiative he displayed when his senior
officer was wounded secured for him
the Distinguished Service Order and
promotion to commander.
This senior officer was Hon. Stanley
Colville. AS soon as COlville was
struck by an Arab bullet, the whole
charge of the gunboat flotilla devolved
on young Beatty. Many man of his
age would have been daunted at the
responsibility suddenly thrust upon his
shoulders. But not so "Davy." At the
forcing of the Dervish batteries he
fearlessly led the attack and he sue
ceeded in silencing the batteries ant

Subsequently he was present at the
important battles of Atbara and Khar-
tum; and was twice mentioned in
dispatches. He was also decorated by
the sultan of Turkey Fourth class
med1idie), just as Jellico was once
decorated by the German emperor.
After Egypt came the Boxer trou-
bles OF 1900. OFF went David Beatty to
the China seas, in command OF the bat
tleship Barfleur. The bombardment
Of the Taku forts took place June 1S,
1900. They opened fire on the ships
of the allies, but in comparatively
short time they were stormed. A cou-
pie Of days later two Chinese field
guns were placed near the railway
embankment, with their muzzles fac
ing the British concession, and fred.
Commander Beatty with three COM
panies of seamen crossed the river and
maneuvered to within 200 yards in the
hope of capturing them with rush.
At the same time some Russians
moved out to cooperate.
While the British were waiting for
the Russians to come up, however, a
large force Of Chinese appeared to the
right behind mud wall and poured in
heavy fire. Beatty was wounded
not only once, but twice-and things
looked very black indeed. The main
force retired, but Beatty was never of
retiring disposition. Leading a for
lorn hope Of 200 bluejackets. he made
desperate attack on the enemy and
won a captaincy.
This promotion at the age Of twenty.
nine years lifted him over 200 officers,
just as his previous promotion to com.
mander had raised him above 395 ofi'
GERS.
Wins Marshall Fields Daughter.
In the following year Beatty took a
rest and married His bride was Mrs.
Ethel Tree, daughter of the late Mar
shall Field, the Chicago merchant.
They have lived very happily together
and have two young sons, one of whom
is designed to enter the navy.
From 1901 to 1914 Beatty did not
see fighting. In 1904 he was stationed
in command of the Diana in the Med
iterranean, and in 1905 he commenced
a spell of work on land. For two years
he acted as naval adviser to the army
council. Then he became aide-de-camI
to King Edward, with whom he was
extremely popular. Finally he became
naval secretary to the first lord Of the
admiralty, after which he get to ses
again, taking over the command of the
Aboukir.
When the war came Beatty, who hac
Just been knighted, was sent out to dC
or die as commander of the first battle
cruiser squadron, his flagship being
the Lion. A few weeks later he wor
the battle of Helgoland blight, sinking
five German vessels and about nint
hundred men, at total British loss o
80 killed and wounded. Later he LEI

on record. Nelson himself was not pro-
