In this series The President warmly
approved the Nays plans for the north
ern mine barrage, which did so much to
shatter the morale or the German navy,
whose mutny marked the beginning OF
the enemys collapse.
During the war years the President
often came unannounced to the Navy
Department to consult, suggest and,
think. frequently with the desire to en-
courage aud stimulate. This latter serv-
ice was invaluable to us. When he could

SHOWS KEEN
NAVAL INSTINCT.
President Wilson's Interest was neither
perfunctory nor official. He had the
keenest naval instinct. He was born
with it. When Thomas Woodrow VII
son was a before he dropped the
"Thomas"-he chose for himself a naval
career.
His boyhood was spent on the banks
of n river. and he loved boating next to
books, or at times even more than books.
He had a penchant for sailing; he loved
sea tales and his ambition was TO follow
Jones and Farragut and Dewey.
Thomas Woodrow Wilson's father,
scholarly Presbyterian preacher of the
old school, vetoed the naval career. When
the chance came to so to Annapolis, he
said in substance: "No; you are not
meant for the sea, my son; letters, books,
craftsmanship for you"
It is not recorded that Thomas Wood
row replied: AYE, aye, sir" with nau-
teal brevity and cheerfulness, but GER
tain It is that he accepted his fathers
decree The Navy lost an officer who
would have destroyed many presidents
and won many victories, when his
father snatched him from the tOpsan and
sent him down below to the study of
languages and political economy.

AS soon as our strength in France had

The President followed the develop

Of the contending nations with keenest
and most critical interest before We

I recall his saying to me on one occa-

Daniels, why don't the British con-
voy their merchant ships, and thus pro-
tcet them from the submarines?"
He came back to this question frequent
~. He could not see the wisdom of the
British plan Of dispersion, although there
were some able American officers who
approved 1t. To him it seemed a false
strategy.
This opinion became a conviction with
him as the sinkings continued and the
situation grew daily mora serious.
