OF the President and Secretary
Daniels the colonel writes:
president Wilson cannot shield him
self behind Mr.. Daniels, for Mr.. Dan
iels could do nothing that the
president does not order or sanction
When Mr.. Daniels actions have been

son, and are not repudiated by him

Wilson is fully and completely respon

"The proof is absolute that when
Admiral Mayo was at TampicO he had
received full knowledge of the rioting
and of the imminent danger to Am
erican lives; but that, nevertheless
he steamed away into the ocean, and
that the Americans were rescued by
German and British ships. This az.
tiOn constituted SO grave an OffenSt

shortly thereafter the facts were
made public in the United States. If
Admiral Mayo had been responsible
and had not acted under orders, then
the only proper course for Secretary
Daniels would have been to order his
instant cOurt-martial, and in such case
the failure to do SO would have shifted
the blame at once from the shoulders
Of Admiral Mayo to the shoulders OF

Theodore Roosevelt in a letter to
Henry Reuterdahl, the naval critic.
criticiSes President Wilson and Secre-
tary Daniels in connection with the
TampicO affair, when the American
warships were withdrawn by order Of
the Administration. The colonel says !:
"YOu have presented authentic proof
of how the Americans in peril at
Tampico were deserted by their own
government against the protest of the
senior American naval officer present
You have shown that the government
at Washington had full knowledge of
the danger of the situation through
kilograms from Admiral Mayo sent
by wireless to the navy department
on April IL, II and 13. You also
give the telegram Of Mr.. Daniels of
April 20 directing the admiral to pro-
ceed to Vera Cruz.
Mayo Feared Loss of Life.
You have shown that Admiral
Mayo made an emphatic protest to
the navy department, stating that he
feared the result Uf the squadrOnS
leaving would be the loss of American
lives and property. You also quote
the kilograms sent by Admiral Mayo
the following day. containing the pro
test OF the American consul, Mr.
Miller, and requesting authority to
remain at Tampico. You have shown
that nevertheless, the navy depart
ment on the 21st confirmed it's previ-
Gus orders and directed the ships to
leave at once.
You have shown that the admiral
put out into the ocean eight mics
distant, but received protest from
Consul Miller reiterating his demand
for protection. Y6u then quote the
kilograms and signals of Admiral
Mayo, who, in spite of his orders,
nObly refused to run from the post
of duty while the lives of American
men. women and children were in
danger.

VAIuV not give your lad

When was a growing lad, and came
upon many words in my reading that
did not understand, my mother, en-
stead of giving me the definition when
applied to her, uniformly sent me to
the dictionary to learn it, and in this
way gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in questiOn.-amOng other things.
how to use dictionary, and the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
Afterwards, when went to the village
school, my chief diversion, after les
sons were learned and before they
were recited, was in turning over the
pages of the Unabridged of those
days. Now the most modern Una
bridged-theNEW INTERNATIONAL
gives ma pleasure of the same sort.
So far as my knowledge extends, it is
at present the best of the one-vOIume
dictionaries. and quite sufficient for
all ordinary uses. Even those who
possess the splendid dictionaries in
several volumes will yet find it a great
convenience to have this, which is SO
compact, SO full, and so Trustworthy
as to leave, in most cases, little to be
desired. - Albert s. Cook, Ph. D., LID,
