HIBERNIANs MEET
Lectures on Cuban Cause

At a meeting of the officers of Col
Murphy's staff of the A. o. H, in this
city yesterday, it was decided not to
accept the invitation to take part in
the parade in Boston, April 20. The
coming National Encampment in this
city will take all the time the Hiber-
mans will have to spare, and the
Boston parade would require consid-
cradle expenditure which they feel
they cannot afford.
At the National Convention in Mer-
iden on April %, Capt. T. F. O'Rourke
of Danbury, Capt. J. J. Hurley and
Lieut.. w. E. Hogan were appointed
a committee to attend the convention
and advocate a series of lectures for
the Cuban cause.

The true Characteristic Of all British
strategy lies in the use of this amphib-
ious power. Not on the sea alone, but
on land and sea together-'not the Meet
alone, but the army in hand with the
feet. In this lies everything. In this
already once in this war decisive VIC
tory has perhaps resided.

On the afternoon Of July 26, 1914,
orders were issued to prevent ships OF
the first feet from dispensing. as would
otherwise have been done at daylight
on the 27th, and TO recall such as had
started. At midnight the ships OF the
second heet were ordered to remain at
their home ports, in close proximity 10

q7th all the naval aircraft were moved
to vulnerable points on the east coast;
the second feet completed an informai
stand BY" kilograms were sent TO ad-
mirals abroad. and far away at the
China station the battleship Triumph
bersn to clear for action.
During the 9th and 2Sth the protect
Ing iotillas along the east coast were
raised to their full strength. On the
night Of the 29th the whole of the first
neet, with auxiliary cruiser squadrons
and hotillss, passed the Strait Of
Dover and gained their war station IN
northern waters. On the same day an
official warning telegram Of ap-
preaching danger was issued. On the
