When Admiral Dewey Called
Won Diedrichs's Bluff at Manila

Just how near the German admiral
Otto Won Diedrichs came to precipitat-
ing war between thu, United States and
Germany in 1898 is recalled by his
Death, reported in the telegraph col
ums not long ago.
1t was in June and at Manila, after
Commodore Dewey had sunk the Span
ish fleet, May Cay, and had been male
an admiral for his deed. There were
several incidents CT an irritating nat
ure preceding it, but the dramatic
moment came when Admiral Dewey
called Won Diedrichs's bluff. Harry
Thurston Peck tells about it in his
"Twenty Years of the Republic
The Americans had not yet taken
the city Of Manila, and Admiral De-
wev learned that German cruiser
had landed a boatload Of provisions
for the Spaniards in the forts. TIL
was not only a breach Of the Ameri-
can blockade, but virtually an act Of
war. and the admiral sent for his
flag lieutenant and ordered him to
wait on Won Diedrichs and inform
him CT "this extraordinary disregard

of naval intercourse"
The admiral paused a moment, and
then changing his tone to one OF
sharp command, said:
"And tell Admiral Won Dicdrichs
that if he wants q fight, he can have
it now"
Immediately after he received this
message, the German admiral visited
the British flagship in the harbor and
entered Captain (..ftcrward Sir Ed
ward Chichester's cabin.
"Have you instructions as to your
actions IN case CT actual hostilities
between myself and the American
squadron" Won Diodrichs asked Cal :
tain Chichester.
al have" replied the English COM
mander.
MAY I ask the nature of those in
structions ?" was the German adj
miral's next question.
"There are only two persons here"
said Captain Chichester, ''who know
what my instructions are. One of those
persons is myself, and the other is
Dewey"

| tied the friction between Won Died
richs and the American commander,
| but which didn't, for when Admiral
[ Dewey began the bombardment of the
forts of Manila and his squadron form
ed a line before the forts of Cavite,
Admiral Won Diedrichs drew up in his
rear with his squadron. When the A
merican ships stopped the German VA
vessels stopped. When Dewey's fiee-
steamed ahead, the feet Of Won DiaS-
richs followed.
What this meant has always been
matter of doubt. AS It turned out,
there was no opportunity for VonDied-
richs to show his intentions, for three
British warships came along and took
up a position between the American
squadron and the German feet.
If Won Diedrichs had planned tc
open fire on the United States "'-r
vessels from the rear while the Spar
ish forts battered at them in 'front.'
which would have meant the wlplng

Dewey few weeks before had obliter
ated the Spanish feet Of Montejo-
the vancouver of the English comman-
Ger spoiled it.
It was Captain Chichester, by the
way, who administered singing re
bulle to Won Diedrichs il the most
guiloless fashion at Manila. The Ger
man admiral had gone to call on the
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1918-07-11

| Won Diedrichs retired and little later
he sent formal disavowal to the
American commander of the action OF
his subordinates in provisioning the
Spaniards.
According to Mr.. Peck, the insolence
of the German attitude dated back to
the period preceding the declaration
Of war by America against Spain,
when Prince Henry, envoy of the kali
ser, visited H0nglong with his fleet.
Commodore Dewey was stationed
there with his squadron and with his
staff attended Z dinner which Prince
Henry gave to the officers of the war
ships in the har5o-
Rising Prince ,len-y proposed a
toast to the nations whose representa-
tives sat at the board and, in accord
ance with diplomatic courtesy, named
them alphabetically in French. FRS
was Germany (Allemagne), next Eng
land (Angleterre) and then came
Spain tEspagne). The United States
(Etats- Unis) should have been named
next. Instead Prince Henry proposed
a toast to France. Commodore Dewey
and his officers, without word, quiet
ly rose and left the banquet.
Later Prince Henry sent an officer
to apologize. The man promptly was
sent back to the prince with the mes
sage that the insult had been offered
by Prince Henry, who must appear in
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1918-07-11

person if he cared to present an apol-
ogy. The prince lost no time in going
aboard the American flagship and de-
claring to Admiral Dewey that the
slight upon America was not inten-
tional.
/ With the outbreak of war, Commo-
dore Dewey was ordered to Manila to
capture or destroy" the Spanish fleet.
He was followed there by the German
squadron, which was augmented IN
til finally there were five warships
under Won Diedrichs, a stronger force
than the American admiral mustered.
One of them, the cruiser Irene, steam
ed past Dewey's flagship one day in
defiance of sea eourtsy. Dewey ig-
nored it. Later, at night, however,
another German warship attempted
to pass through theAmerican line and
a warning shot was fired by the Olym-
pia. The German paid no heed and
another shot was fired across its bows
so close that it brought up short the
Cormoran, as the vessel proved to be.
When Admiral Dewey called to pay
a ceremonious visit on Admiral Won
Diedrichs he alluded to the size of
the German squadron.
81 am here by the kaiser's orders
was the German admiral's response in
a typically German manner.
Then came the provisioning of the
Spanish forts, which should have set

asked Won Diedrichs.
That's q work on naval etiquette,'
replied the English captain.
Indeed" said the German. 81 q Mt
know such book existed"
"Let me present you with it, said
Captain Chichester cautiously. "You
really ought to read it."

Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission in it's recent report on
profits stated that the five large meat packers have
been proteerng and that they have monopoly of the
market.
These conclusions if fair and just matters of serious
not only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen of our country
The figures given on profits are misleading and the
statement that the packers have monopoly is unsup
ported by the facts.
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to
prove their profits reasonable and necessary.
The meat business of the largest American indus
tries Any citizen who would familiarze himself with
it's details must be prepared for large totals.
The report that the aggregate profits large
packers were 900 for the three war years.
This sum is compared with S19OOOOOO as the average
annual profit for the three years before the war; making
it appear that the profit was S121 100000 greater
than the preWar profit.
This compares three-year profit with a one-year profit
manfestly unfair method of comparison. 1t is not
only misleading but the Federal Trade Commission ap-
parently has made mistake in the figures themselves
The aggregate three-year profit of S141 100000 was
earned sales of four and half billion dollars It
about three cents each dollar of sales-or
mere fraction OF a cent per pound of product.
Packers profits negligible factor in prices of live
stock and meats No other large business conducted
upon such small margins of profit.
Furthermore this is very important-only small
portion Of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has been put back into the businesses It had
be- you realize when you consider the problems the
packers have had to solve-and solve quickly during
these war years.
To conduct this business in times with higher costs
and the necessity of paying two three times the for
prices for live stock has required the of two
three times the ordinary amount of working capital The

Or. Juad. dsnust. sL0nroe So.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1918-07-11


has been stated the larger portion of the profits earned
has been used to finance huge stocks of goods and to
provide additions and improvements made necessary by
the enormous demands of army and navy and the
Allies.
If you business you will appreciate the sign-
of these facts you unacquainted with bust
ness, talk this matter with business acquant-
ance-wth your banker say-and ask him to compare
profits of the packing industry with those of any other
large industry at the present time.
No evidence offered by the Federal Trade Commission
in support of the statement that the large packers have
a monopoly. The Commissions own report shows the
large number and Importance of other packers
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to
prove any fair minded person that they in keen
competition with each other, and that they have
power to manipulate prices.
If this were not true they would not dare make this
positive statement.
Furthermore, government figures show that the five
large packers mentioned in the report account for only
about onethird Of the meat business of the country
They wish were possible interest you in the details of
their business. Of how, for instance, they can sell
dressed beef for less than the cost of the live animal
ing to the utilization of byproducs and of the wonder
full story of the methods Of distribution throughout this
broad land, as we'll as in other countries
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating
with each other to the extent of together presenting this
public statement.
They have been able to do big job for your government
in it's time of need; they have met all time demands
promptly and completely and they willing to trust
their case to the famndedness of the American people
