ness to Discourage
Such q Man,

There was a certain young officer
John Chisholm call him-who played
poker occasionally. He commanded
a ~"fivver," which is the service term
for the smallest class of destroyers,
the 75O-tOn ones.
In the navy there are plenty Of peo-
pie who will tell you that they never
built destroyers which keep the sea
better than that same little flivver
class, James B. Connolly writes in Col
lier's Weekly. Young Captain CHS
holm of the 1913 was one.
One morning. having conveyed q
fleet of merchant ships safely to their
port, the 1913 was n of a group of
destroyers making the best of their
way to their base port. Officers and
men who have been hunting U.boats
for a week or so do not like to linger
along the road home. So 1t was every
young captain giving his ship all the
steam she could stand and let her belt.
1t was moderately rough when they
started. 1t grew q bit rougher. CHS
holm in the 1923 was going along at
20 knots when q fellow he very well
knew came along in his big 1000
ton destroyer. His nose hauled up on
the quarter Of the 1923; up to her
beam; up to her bridge. AS she passed
the 3o3 her commander megaphoned
across: "What you making, ChizY
"Twenty knots !" hailed back CHS
holm.
"I'm seeing your twenty knots and
raising you five!" returned the other.
and passed into the lead.
"All right" said Chiz, "but waltz"
The sea grew rougher. The 1923
was bouncing pretty lively, but hang
ing on to her twenty knots. "And at
twenty you let her hang If she rolls her
darned crows nest under!" said
Chisholm to his watch officer-"and we
won't be acting rudder to this bunch
going into port"
They were still going along at 20
knots when from out Of the driz-
zle ahead they saw the stern and
tunnels Of a destroyer. It was the
big destroyer that had passed them,
and the tough little 1923 breasted her
stern, her waist, her bridge and as
he passed her (and he came quite
close to let all hands view the pass
ing) young Captain Chisholm leaned
out from his bridge and hailed: "Call

This same young flivver captain
was headed for port in the usual hurry
and was already well into the west
channel Just outside the port when q
signal vas whipped out from the sig
nal tower. 1t was for this ship: "West

channel"
Chiz did not proceed TO SEQ, and no
did not come In by the east channel.
The harbor saw him come straight on
to his mooring.
Said Chiz: VI was well into that
channel when I got the signal. And,
OF course. the first instinct was to obey
orders. But 1 stop and think: This

under her stern there's two big propel-
lers. II ever I turn this 400 foot ship

ance that their authority will abide
and sustain securely the information
al arranements into which we are
about to enter? There is here matter
for no small anxiety and misgiving.
Whence is made, upon whose promises
and engagements besides our own is
it to rest?
Let US be perfectly frank with our
selves and admit that these questions
can not be satisfactorily answered now
or at once. But the moral is not
that there is little hope Of an early
answer that will suffice. It is only
that we must be patient and helpful
and mindful above all of the great
hope and confidence that lie at the
heart of what is taking place. Ex-
cesses accomplish nothing. Unhap-
py Russia has furnished abundant re-
cent proof of that. Disorder immed-
lately defeats itself. If e
should occur, if disorder should for
a time raise it's head, a sober second
thought will follow and a day of con-
structive action, if we help and do not
hinder.
Self Control Essential.
The present and all that it holds
belongs to the nations and the peo-
Piles who preserve their self control
and the orderly processes of their gov
ernments; the future to those who
prove themselves true friends of man.
kind. To conquer with arms is to
make only a temporary conquest; to
conquer the world by earning it's es-
TEEN is to make permanent conquest.
I am confident that the nations that
have learned the discipline Of free
dom and that have settled with self
possession to it's ordered practice are
now about to make conquest of the
world by the sheer power of example
and of friendly helpfulness.
The people who have but just come
out from under the yoke of arbitrary
government and who are now COM
ing at last into their freedom will
never find the treasures of liberty
they are in search of if they look for
them by the light of the torch. They
will find that every pathway that is
stained with the blood of their broth
ers leads to the wilderness, not to the
seat Of their hope. They are now
face to face with their initial tests.
We must hold the light steady until
they find themselves. And in the
meantime if it be possible, we must
establish a peace that will justly de-
fine their place among the nations, re-
move all fear of their neighbors and
of their former masters and to enable
them to live in security and content
ment when they have set their own
affairs in order. l for one, do not
doubt their purpose or their capacity.
There are some happy signs that they
know and will choose the way of self
control and peaceful accommodation.
If they do, we shall put our aid at
their disposal in every way that we
can. If they do not we must await
with patience and sympathy the awak-
ening and recovery that will assured
ly come at last.
