GOES close and cordial association with
the American navy dates from the
Boxer expedition. Naturally, Taussig
had watched Jellicoe's career with the
utmost interest; since he was only
twenty-one at the time, however. and
the Englishman was twice his age,
it had never occurred to him that the
First Sea Lord would remember his
youthful hospital companion. Yet the
very first message he received, on
arriving in Irish waters, was the fol-
lowing letter, brought to him by Cap
tain Evans, the man designated by
the British Admiralty as Haison Off
Ger with the American destroyers:
Admiralty. Whitehall.

NY Dear Taussig:
I still retain very pleasant and vivid
recollection or our association in China
and I am indeed delighted that you
should have been selected for the
command of the first force which is
coming to fight for freedom, humanity
and civilization. We snail all have our
work out to subdue piracy. My
expedience in China makes me feel
perfectly convinced that the two
nations will work in the closest CO.
operation and I won't flatter you by
saying too much about the value of
your help. 1 must say this, however:
There is no navy in the world that
can possibly give US more valuable

assistance, and there IS no personnel
in any navy that will fight better than
yours. My China experience tells me
this.
If only my dear friend McCalla could
have seen this day how glad L would
have been,
1 must offer you and all your Of
ficers and men the warmesr welcome
possible in the name of the British
nation and the British Admiralty, and
add to it every possible good wish
from myself. May every good for
tune attend you and speedy victory
be with us.
Yours very sincerely,

men with the utmost seriousness and
dignity; his face, as he began shaking
hands, broke into quiet, non-commtt-
tai smile; there was nothing about his
manner that was effusive, there were
no Unnecessary words, yet there was
a real cordially that put our men at
ease and made them feel at home
in this strange environment. They
knew. of course, that they had come
to Ireland. not for social diversions.
but for the serious business OF fight
ing the Hun. and that indeed was the
only thought which could then find
place in Admiral Bayry's mind. Up
to this time the welcome had taken the
form of lofty oratorTcal flights, with
emphasis upon the blood ties of Anglo
Saxodom and the significance to civil
ization of America and Great Britain
fighting side by side; but this was not
the kind OF greeting our men received
from Admiral Bayly.
"When Can You Begin Work.
The Admiral, himself, with his some
what worn uniform, and his lack of
ceremony. formed a marked contrast
to the official reception by the Lord
Mayor and his suite IN their insignia
Of office. Entirely characteristics also
was the fact that. instead of making
a long speech. he made no speech at
all. His chief interest in the Americans
at that time was the assistance when
they We're likely to bring to the allied
cause; after courteousIy greeting the
officers. the first question he asked
about these forces was
when will you be ready TO go to
sea ?''
Even under the most favorable con-
ditions that is an embarrassing oues-
ton to ask Of a destroyer commander.
There is no type of ship that is so
chronically in need or overhauling.
Even in the peace times the destroyer
has under way a long list of repairs:
our first contingent had sailed with
out having had much oportunity TO
refit, and had had an extremely nasty
voyage. The fact was that IL had been
ra Their severely battered up, although
the flotilla was in excellent condition,
considering it's hard experience on the
ocean and the six months of hard work
which 1t had previously had on our
coast. One ship had lost it's fire-room
another had had condenser
troubles on the way across, and there
had been other difficulties.
Commander Taussig, however, had
sized up Admiral Bayly as a man 70
whom it would be a tactical error
to make excuses, and promptly re-
pied:
I'VE ire ready now, sir, that IS. as
soon as we finish re-fueling. OF course
you know how destroyers are-always
wanting something done to them But
this is war, and we are ready to make
the best of things and go TO sea i'm
The Admiral was naturally pleased
with the spirit indicated by this state
ment, and, with his customary con-
sideration for his Junior, said:
Il will give you four days from the
time of arrival. VIII that be suffi-
cient?"
Yes" answered Taussig, that will
be more than ample time
AS we discoyeed afserward, the Ad-
miral had a system Of always testing
out" new men. and it is not improb-
able that this preliminary interview
was a part of the process.

Welcomed to Queenstown.
+, The first, duty of the officers on ar

NAL calls The Lord Mayor of Cork
had come down from his city, which
IS only twelve miles from Queenstown,
| to receive the Americans, and now
awaited them in the American con-
sulate, and many other citizens were

| of the most conspicuous features of
the procession was the moving picture
operator. whose presence really had an
| International significance. The British
government itself had detailed him for
this duty; it regarded the landing of
our destroyers as a great historical
event and therefore desired to pre-
serve this animated record in the Off
cial archives. Crowds gathered along
! the street to watch and cheer our Of
f;cers as they rode by, and at the
consulate the Lord Mayor, Mr.. Butter

| friendship that had always prevailed
between the American and Irish peo-

voicing similar sentiments; this well

and his brother officers started up the
steep hill that leads to Admiralty
House, a fine and spacious old build
ing. Here, following out the instruc-
| lions of the navy department, they
we're to report to Vice-Admiral Bay!y
for duty.
It is doing no injustice 20 Sir Lewis
| to say that our men regarded this
first meeting with some misgiving.
The Admirars reputation in the British
navy was well known to them. They
knew that he was one of the ablest
officers in the service, but they had
also heard that he was an extremely
exacting man, somewhat tactiturn in
his manner and not inclined to be
over familiar with his subordinates.
man who did not easily give his
friendship or his respect, and alto
gether, in the anxious minds of these
ambitious young Americans, he was
a somewhat forbidding figure. And
the appearance of the Admiral stand
ing in his doorway awaiting their ar
rival, rather accentuated these pre-
conceptions. He was a medium-sized
man. with somewhat swarthy, weather
beaten face and black hair just turning
gray; he stood there gazing rather
Guizzicaiys at the Americans as they
came tTrdeing up the MIL, his hands
behind his back. his bright eyes keen,y
taking in every detail of the men, his
face not showing the slightest trace of
a smile. This struck our youngEme
at first as a. somewhat grim reception:
THE attitude of the Admiral suggested
that he was slightly in doubt as to the
value of his raw recruits, that he was
entirely willing to be convinced, but
that only deeds and not fine speeches
of greeting would convince him.

TO DISCUSS CRIME

Alex Romik, formerly OF Glassboror
was arrested at Chester today by Ser
geant Of Police Harry Robinson.
Romik is said to be wanted in con
nection with the killing OF Mrs. Clara
Sabor, at GlassborO, n. J. The prisoner
refused to talk when arraigned before
Magistrate Berry, and he was held TO

any further light upon the murder at
Glassboro a week ago OF Mrs. Clara
Sabor, at the home OF her husband
Charles sabor, a grocer, at No. al High
street. The jury rendered a verdict
that the woman came TO her death
from a bullet wound inflicted by per
son or persons unknown TO the jurors.
Charles Sabor, husband OF the slain
woman, arrested on suspicion OF hav-
ing committed the crime himself, was
the most important witness at the in

themselves that robbery was the ap-
