like sheep being herded by dogs to
their fold without an effort on any
body's part, but it was a day every
body could be proud Of.
Il had always had certain misgiV-
ings, and when the Sixth battle squad
ron became part. of the Grand fleet,
those misgivings were doubly
strengthened and I knew then they
would throw up their hands, Appar
entity the Sixth battle squadron was
the straw that broke the cameis back.
However, the disappointment that
the Grand fleet was unable to strike
their blow for the freedom of the
world is counteracted by the fact that
it was their prestige alone that
brought about this achievement.
Hands Across the Sea.
During the last u months YOU
have been with us we have learned to
know each other very we'll. We have
learned to respect each other. / want
you to take back a message to the
Atlantic fleet that you have left a very
warm place in the hearts of the Grand
Fleet which cannot be filled until you
come back or send another squadron
to represent you. You have given us
a sample of the Atlantic feet which
I think the Atlantic fleet, efficient as
it is, will find it very hard to repro
duce.
Il understand that YOU are now 60
ing to Portland where you are to get
: leave. There is a duty to perform in
bringing your president to these
waters and then you will return to
your own shores. And [ hope that in
the sunshine, which, Admiral Rodman
tells me- always shines there, you will
not forget your comrades of the
mist and your pleasant associations
of the North sea.
Thanks American Navy.
This is a queer place, as you have
! found, but you are not the first to
| find it out. There was once great
| explorer. Marco Polo, who, after
| travelling over the world for 80 years
I one day found himself in the North
! sea and then went home and went to
| bed and did not travel any more. ]
! trust it will not have the same effect
| on any of you, but / can say that
! those of you l have seen during the
! last / 2 months seem to have improved
in many ways, if that were possible
! and I think the North sea has q
health giving quality which must be
put against all its bad points, of which
! there are SO many.
| Il thank you again and again for
| the great part the Sixth battle squad
ron has played in bringing about the
! greatest naval victory in history.
! hope you will give this message to
| your comrades: Come back soon.
! Goodbye and good luck"

BRITISH ADMIRAL
PRAISES AMERICANS
Beatty Sorry Allied Fleet Could
Not Fight Germans.

London, Dec. 18.-The American
battIcship squadron attached to the
British Grand fleet displayed a spirit
of true comradeship throughout it's
rcriod of service, declared Admiral
Sir David Beatty, the COMMUNICATIVE
chief of the Grand fleet, in a farewell
address on board the u. S. $. New
York on December /, the day the
squadron was detached from the
Grand fleet. All hands had been
called to muster on the forecastle to
heard Admiral Beatty.
Wanted to Fight Huns.
After thanking the American Off
GERS and men for their cooperation,
Sir David remarked that both the
British and Americans we're disap-
pointed at not having been able to
meet the German fleet. He declared
that the day the German fleet sur
rendered was "a pitiful day to see
Sir David said he had always had mis-
givings that the Germans would never
come out for a finish fight, and these
rnisgivings had been strengthened by
the coming of the American squadron.
'f4Vhat I say comes from the heart,
not only my heart, but the hearts of
your comrades Of the Grand fleet"
said Sir David. Il want first of all to
thank you, admiral Rodman, and the
captains and officers of the ship s
companies of this magnificent squad
ron for the wonderful cooperation
and loyalty you have given me and
my admirals and assistance you have
given us in every duty You have had
to undertake.

Now,it is November, In the inter
