DENLY Explains Slight To Barry

The omission of the name of Com.
mpdore David Barry. of Revolutionary
fame. from the list of naval heroes
on the government memorial arch al
Arlington has caused the receipt by
Secretary of the Navy DENLY of let
ters of inquiry and protest from adj
mirers of the old Irish historical
figure
During the Wilson administration
an heroic bronze of the naval war
rior was unveiled in Franklin Square
on which occasion eulogy was pro-
nounced by President Wilson.
Secretary of the Navy DENLY looked
up the records and found that the list
of names selected for the arch was
prepared in February. 1920.
In statement yesterday Mr.. DENLY
said: 1T would appear from the
statement of the General Naval Board
that the omission of the name of Com
modore Barry was not due to a lack
of appreciation of his distinguished
services to his country as a naval of
ficer but TO the fact that the Navy De-
partment was limited by the Memorial
Commission in the number of names
that could be placed upon the me-
mortal"

WELCOME HOME AMERICA.

The triumphal progress OF the
famous old yacht America along
the Atlantic Coast to its last
berth in these waters has been an
interesting and happy event.
The Americas history is quite
as varied and romantic as that OF
some notable persons, and during
her long career she has served in
many different capacities.
Originally built TO compete i'll
the international yacht races i'll
the Solent off the Isle of Wight,
in 1851 she won the America
Cup" the famous English trophy
which has remained in this coun-
try ever since, in spite OF repeated
efforts to get it back.
Ten years after her first racing
triumph she was still considered
the fastest sailing craft afioat, and
in 1861 her British owner, for by
that time the America" was the
property of an Englishman. sold
her to the Confederate States to
be used as blockade runner.
The boats service in this ca
pacity was short one as she was
soon sunk in the St. John River,
but was salvaged not long after.

once more sent out on the High
Seas. this time flying the Stars
and Stripes of the Union.
At the close of the war the
yacht was brought here TO serve
as Midshipmen's training ship

Forty-four years later, in 1917.
the gallant craft was doomed to
the scrap heap, when the Board
of Governors of the Eastern
Yacht Club, one of the Pioneer
clubs of the country, made an ap-
peal TO other yacht CLUBS 10 help
save the famous schooner from
oblivion.
There was a quick response.
and the America, once more trim
and clean, started on her tour OF
the Eastern water ways, with
Annapolis as her goal, After
the paying of the necessary dol
lar to prevent her being gift TO
the Government she becomes its
property and SO returns to her
former owners.
No place could be more fitting
than Annapolis for the America"
