ADMIRAL RELATES
TALES OF 50 YEARS
in NAVAL SERVICE
Sees Sailing Frigate of
'68 Develop Into Mod
'ern Dreadnaught.
A Hall Century of Naval service.

A Half Century Of Naval Service.
by Seaton Schroeder, Rear Adj
mirai. U. .. n. retired (Appleton).
= Autobiography and history blend
in Admiral Schroeder's chronicle of
his service. During the period
bounded by his graduation from the
Naval Academy in issssand his re-
t!rement from the duties of COM
chief of the Atlantic
Squadron in 1911. there occurred an
evolution in naval practice and
weaponsN that could almost be
termed revolution. The change from
the sailing frigate to the dread
nought type came with a rapidity
that one can hardly realize at its
true significance. Constant and un-
remitting effort on the part of naval
officers have been required in order
to keep abreast Of professional
thought and fully familiar with
their constantly changing tools.
Admiral Schroeder has written the
history OF this epochal period with
the precision OF the naval officer
and the happy touch of the natural
writer.
The varied service seen by
Admiral Schroeder lends itself ad-
mirably to narrative. Almost for
gotten ventures are recalled as one
opens the book. There is the IA
nous f'virg MUS" affair. memory of
which has practically perished. the
Korean expedition OF 1869. the
transit OF Venus cruise" Later
comes the story of active service in
the SPANISH American war and the
very intriguing description OF the
admirars experience as Governor of
Guam. There is a pleasant, anec-
dotal atmosphere in all the phases
of the book. a sort of SAVIOR of
genial stories we'll told amid the
curling smoke of good cigars.
Young officers who are impatient
for promotion may hnd a kind of
comfort. in the fact that Admiral
Schroeder rerta ined a lieutenant for
twenty-one years. He says humor-
ously: During the twenty-one years

provocative spots in the book. There
is the story Of the thoughtful ship

Maine prohibition. took an entire

prescribed a stir drink of whisky

conclusion plainly marked at the
beginning. 1t is no less an inter
esting study in glaring facts.
The ardent youth. with bright
aesthetic impulses. and the emo
tionally starved spinster could be
nothing but an unhappy couple. and
confusion and tragedy the only re-
suit OF the match. The situation
is vain and rare, to be sure, and
any incopsequential person can
point out the absurdity of the
premises OF the volume.
But such things do happen, oc-
casionally. And Mrs. Deland's art
is the excuse for the study. as

or Lord Jim
The comprehension of the glory
of the love of boy. and the beau
tiful and dear absurdity of such
love to an older woman. and its

no perspective and no humor are
well done.
With a fine delicacy Mrs. Deland
traces the gradual disillusionmen Mt,

or excusing tones. Mrs Deland has
neither sympathy or dislike for any
OF her characters. She Is ire
vocable as gravity. and as unre-
lenting in the cataclysm-until the
end, when her heroine mercifully
dies and leaves the beautiful Maui
rice to marry the woman who was
meant 1Or MIN.
That ending was week-kneed
thing for Mrs. Deland to submit to.
But as study in the terrible.
the vehement flame of jealousy. the
book. Is a comprehensive treatise.
The author had learned her subject
well. and explained 1t well: she
undoubtedly took the easiest pos
sible subjects with which to demon
strate the devastation Il may cause.
Sidelights in the novel are re-
markably good. The, study of the
immoral little Lily sDale. whose
cat-line and maternal impulses are
as. natural and blameless as could
be imagined. She Is drawn with
clear black strokes. and Is a
thoroughly likeable person. Mrs.
Newbolt. Eleanors aunt, too. is as
real and homely as bread. with her
dropped g's and her repetitions and
criticisms. Mr.. and Mrs. Houghton,
Maurice's guardians, are too good
to be true.
. Perhaps the best touch in the
volume Is the rambling mind of the
child Edith. with its sharp. childish
ly clear views. Altogether. THE

to American literature.
