handed it to his successor In the
charge, and he to his.
The rule adopted on board the ships

from the beginning. No mess liked to
have him permanently, because his
presence cut off all talk Of home or of
the prospect of return, of politics or
letters, Of peace or Of war--cut off
more than half the talk men like to
have at sea. But 1t was always
thought too hard that he should never
meet the rest Of us, except to touch
hats, and we finally sank into one sys-
tenn. He was not permitted to talk
with the men unless an officer was by.
With officers he had unrestrained In
tercourse, as far as they and he chose.
But he grew shy, though he had favor
ties: was one. Then the captain
always asked him to dinner on Mon
day. Every mess in succession took
up the invitation In its turn. Accord

''In this, the greatest of all crises,
our party, with the control of the
government in other hands, becomes
the war party of the nation, insisting
on the right of a full participation,
giving to the last of our blood and our
treasure, standing immovably against
an inconclusive peace.
eve regret that allied officers have
asked in vain for certain greatest
American leaders and we insist that
every possible efficient instrument in
men and material which is available
shall be used in winning the war, and
that inefficiency shall be replaced with
efficiency wherever found; and all
these things which we demand of the
party in power, we irrevocably pledge
for ourselves.
"The- fact that the party in power
refused to prepare for war in 1914
and 1915 has not lessened the support
by republicans in congress who so
strongly urged it, The most unfair
and unpatriotic efforts in many quar-
