Admiral Dewey.

individually and as nation the
people of the United States today
will pay their final tribute to Admiral
George Dewey, hero of Manila Bay
Admiral Dewey's life has been a
succession OF achievements that have
placed him high in the eyes OF the
American public, but throughout the
country he always will be the hero
of Manila Bay. Seventeen years ago,
following his glorious victory over
the Spanish Asiatic Squadron, the
American people honored him in an
elaborate celebration in this city, the
feature of which being parade OF
military and civic organizations up
historic Pennsylvania avenue. To-day
there will be another parade up the
same avenue, which, although tinged
with sadness, will be no less a tribute
to real American.
America is too young and conse-
quently her great men too few to lose
one like Admiral Dewey without suf-
fering a great loss.
1t can be said with complete safety
that the beginning of modern Amer
lean history was written by Admiral
Dewey. From the battle of Manila
Bay dates an epoch which to the
growth of this country has been the
most fruitful of our brief existence.
In the few hours of that battle Dewey
rescued this country from its long
period of isolation and placed it
among the great powers of the earth.
But Admiral Dewey's greatness was
more than that of seamanship. He
had not courted fame nor publicity
nor plunged into politics without just
reason. Like all famous men he may
leave behind him questioning of his
achievements, but there are none who
can deny that duty was the para
mount thought with every action of
Americas premier naval officer.
1t is very fitting that Dewey should
be the ranking Admiral at the time
of his death. His lengthy and gallant
career put him foremost among the
warriors of the sea, and despite the
fact that ere passing he saw the great
est of all world wars there has as
yet been no naval achievement that
could overshadow in the minds of
Americans his brilliant feat of the
Spanish war
The American people will never for
get you, Admiral Dewey, and as your
manly figure reeedes from tangible
view the memory of your service will
cause your life to loom larger instead
of waning. The American people
bury you among their other heroes in
the place you richly deserve and as
we take pride in the possession OF
one of your caliber, we sorrow that
our only future acquaintance shall
be on history's pages.

Germany has launched another
prize sea raider. The name OF the
new scourge of the sea is given as
the Vneta and already by her ex-
ploits she has outclassed the Emden,
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, Moewe, and
Deutschland. While this type of raid
ing does not meet with the approval
of those who are neutral, none can
deny its wonderful assistance to the

He used to come.
To our little town.
All wrapped up.
In big fur coat
And carried a cane.
And was the star.
That stayed for a week.
A versatile fellow.
He proved every night
And when he stood out
In front of the Central Hotel.
The crowds stood around.
With their mouths.
Opened wide.
Year after year.
He came to our opera house.
And to me he was.
Greater than Baret.
The years have fown by.
And the other day.
Along the Rialto.
I saw my hero
OF the boyhood days.
The day was cold.
And whipped his summer clothes.
And a cigarette
Drooped from his lips.
A picture of despair.
His eyes seemed to hunt,
For a friendly face.
And bowed and smiled.
And We walked away.
To little cafe.
Where he ate his flL
And I paid the check.
And we sat around
And talked OF the days.
When he played the tanks.
And now and then.
He would turn his head.
To hide the tears.
in a charity ward.
OF a city hospital
His wife was ILL
And It was Xmas eve.
And he was broke.
And two little kiddies
Were waiting for Santa.
Who wouldn't come.
And when I left him.
He gave me his card.
And adjusted his coat.
And walked away.
Just like he did.
When he was the hero.
