From the Leader we take the fol-
lowing extract from letter written
hanson. "The war is over and we are
returning with our squadron of eight !
battleships that have been operating
with the Grand fleet. 1t has been a |
wonderful experience. 1t was my good
luck to be here with the Grand fleet |
for ten months. I was an interpreter
when the German High Seas fleet sur
rendered and attached to a British
light cruiser, the PhaetOn. We were |
the first to meet and escort them part |
way across the North Sea. I shall |
never forget it. They came in like
lambs and we had expected to meet
them as lions. 1t was not spectacle |
to excite admiration. They were cow
ards and this was the most cowardly !
thing they did. Their ships were |
magnificent and no other race would |
ever have given them up. 1t shows |
what they are made of. And thank |
God they are thoroughly beaten. My |
experiences have been most interest |
ing. l am glad have had a part in
the job. Some day / hope I may see
you and tell you more about it. We |
are now on our way to meet the |
President and escort him to France
After that i hope we will go home as |
[ am most anxious to see my family |
as it is more than year since l have |
seen them" Mr.. Behrens will be re-
membered here as a student of Len
OK college OF the class of 1909 He |
afterward took theological course |
and early in the war entered the SER
vice as chaplain in the navy. His Hop |
kinton friends will be glad to see him
