NAVAL GLORY IMMORTALIZED
Life and Struggle Sea Represented by Artists With Fine Under
standing of Spirit Of Service, in Paintings at Department
Building in Washington.

Any one interested In the rather
small painting of "The U. S. S.
Cassin" will be rewarded by climb
aloft to the third floor landing of the
department, where large oil paint
ing of the same subject is hung.
1t is splendidly done; vivid splash
of color spells action in every brush
stroke. For the eye meets a splash
of ultra marine, crimson and bright
yellow. all lending harmony to make
this really fascinating picture.
You will be attracted by large
painting that hangs on the cen
ter wall of this same third floor, at
the foot of the steps below the Cassin
picture. At first it will make you
think of a crazy-quilt. then just a
modernistic tumble of brilliant color.
but upon close inspection, camou-
flaged vessels begin to appear as if
by magic. There are many of them.
all striped and splotched with paint
that harmonizes with the oceans
many moods. This camouf1age pre-
caution was taken during the World
War to protect vessels from enemy
submarines that might be rowing the
high seas.
A very pretty painting In pastel
shades called Dawn and Defiance" is
hung alongside the camoufage paint
ing. 1t is an aeroplane, small but
well done. On the other side Of the
door hangs painting-quite large
one, toby the well-known artist.
James Montgomery Flagg. 1t tells
the story of one of a crew who
climbed over the tops of boilers in
an engine room to disconnect boiler
whose cap had come off. He was
severely burned, but saved the vessel
as we'll as the crew by his heroic act.
Against the wall opposite the
camouflage picture is a little glass
case holding q cameo-like model of the
old U. S. S. Constellation, whose run
ming lights are indicated on the model
by red and green paint. This little
model is of interest because after you
visit the group of air paintings at the
far end of the third floor you should
visit the library and see the original
running lights of the Constellation.
But first seize the twentieth century
by look at the fine painting of an
air rescue. 1t shows two Maxxhi-type
Italian planes, one shot down, the
other, after fighting off five German
Albatross planes, landing and saving
the first. Both we're rewarded. There
are many other smaller canvases
equally interesting in this air group.
On the second floor. after you have
entered the swinging doors Of the
library, you will at once become at
tracted by lights on either side. Turn
ing to face the door you will observe
the hugeSed port, left, and green star
board, right, running lights of the old
Constellation, suspended midway
either side the door. They are made
of brass so highly polished the red
and green lights appear to be huge
Jewels set in the metal They were
originally lighted by the use of wick

ing above the scene of the conflict,
Perry drew an old letter from his
pocket and upon the back of it with
pencil he wrote his famous dispatch
to Gen. Harrison, using his cap as a
desk:
1--WE have met the enemy and they
are ours"
The remainder of the meager mes
sage said, 1.-TWO ships, two brigs, one
schooner and one sloop. Yours, with
very great esteem, o. H. PERRY"
The victory was complete and the
Battle of Lake Erie was the beginning
of the end of the war. Gen. Harrison
hurried 1000 men to the lake, where
Perry's fleet awaited to take them
across. The British and Indians,
under Tecumseh, were at Fort Mall
den. Upon the landing of the Ameri-
cans they fed. Harrison followed
them up the river and Fort Detroit
surrendered without resistance. Perry
left his ships in command of one of
his officers, went ashore and offered
his services as aide-de-camp to Har-
rison. He was referred to as "the
sailor on horseback"
In the naval battle the British Of
fetal reports showed that their losses
were Al killed, of whom were officers,
and 81 were wounded, of whom were
officers. The American losses were a.
killed and 96 wounded. OF these 81
were killed aboard the Lawrence and
81 were wounded on the same ship,
while 20 others were injured aboard
the Niagara after Perry boarded her,
showing that those Immediately sur
rounding the young officer had borne
the burden of the fighting. Lieut..
Elliot, in command of the Niagara,
was severely criticized and naval
controversy resulted from his failure
to come up to the support of the Law
renee during the early part OF the
engagement, but the dispute has been
overwhelmed by the glory Of Perry's
great victory.
On Navy day America remembers
not only Perry, but all OF the brave
men Of whatever rank who have
served the Nation, in peace and war,
In its first line Of defense.
Evening star., 1937-10-24

an hour of fighting the flagship was in
a pitiful condition. Her guns had
been disabled; red rigging was shot
down; her spars were shattered; her
sails were in tatters. OF her compile
ment of officers and men, 83 were
either killed or wounded.
In this desperate situation Perry
decided to transfer his flag to the
Niagara. Leaving command Of the
Lawrence to a junior officer, Perry
hauled down the blue ensign with
its patriotic motto, and his brother
Alexander and four seamen started
in a. rowboat for the Niagarat The
smoke from the guns was so dense
that he was not seen by the British
until he had nearly reached the
Niagara. Then came shot that'went
through the sides of the boat. Perry
quickly removed his coat, calked the
hole and kept the little skiff from
sinking. Just as he stepped upon
the deck of the Niagara and ordered
his flag raised at her mast he turned
and saw his beloved Lawrence lower
her colors. It was sad moment
for the young commander. His brave
ship had withstood the brunt of the
engagement, receiving more shots than
all the others combined and had been
forced to capitulate. To add to this
pain, the British, thinking they had
won the battle, began to cheer. They
allowed the Lawrence to drift away,
however, and soon her flag was again
raised and she was returning fire.
MEANWHILE Perry brought the
A'A Niagara into position and let go
a terrific broadside into the British
flagship. Moving forward, he Or
dered another into the one that fol-
lowed her in line. The other vessels
of Perrys fleet then came up and
the battle which the British few
minutes before thought they had won
was continued with even greater in
tensity. In less than half-hour,
under ceaseless fire at close range,
two Of the largest British vessels
were put out Of action. Two others
attempted to escape. but were fol-
lowed and captured. Soon came the
signal Of British surrender.
Evening star., 1937-10-24

tack on the American line marked the
beginning of the end of the World
War. In the foreground of this pic
ture is field of billowy tall grass,
interspersed with vari-colored flowers
through which Germans with raised
bayonets are advancing. A forest is
in the background, white clouds and
airplanes overhead. 1t is an impress
sive painting. done in riot Of we'll
blended colors.
ON A side wall is painting worthy
Of comment; it is Dana Marsh's
~. S. S. President Lincoln" under
command of Comdr. p Foote, U. S. NJ,
which was struck by three torpedoes
and sunk 500 miles from the French
coast. Because of good naval disci-
pline. loss of life was relatively small.
Comdr. Foote was awarded the Dis
tinguished Service Medal. In the fore
ground of this painting are mass of
life boats and RATS, sailors swimming
to get aboard, waves swamping life
RATS, etc. In the background looms
the President Lincoln, looking like
wrath of the sea settling into "Davey
Jones Locker" while smoke and steam
pour from her tunnels and flames
shoot from the partially submerged
stern-the flag still waving high on
the mast Other vessels are in the
remote distance. A very striking
painting in both color and technique.
Next to this is the torpedoed U. S.
S. Cassin. In this action, Gunner's
Mate Osmond Ingram sacrificed his
life in attempting to release depth
charges when he realized the hit would
be aft. He was awarded posthumous
Medal of Honor. The foreground of
this picture is Ingram trying to re-
lease depth charges; washed
deck, clouds, smoke and glimpses of
railing. We easily feel Ingram's grave
danger
On the opposite side wall are two
more paintings. the first the Cap
ture of Blanc Mont Ridge" by George
Harding, A. E. F., showing Marines
of the I'd Division breaking through
and mopping up the famous Essen
and Elbe Hook" part of the sup
posedly impregnable Hindenburg Line
Of trenches. This painting is a
realistic depletion of bayonet conflict,
CORY and grim, with planes zooming
overhead. The expressions on the
faces are especially worthy of study.
The other canvas is THE U. S. S.
Jacob JONES'" by Luis Mora, a ship
sunk by enemy torpedo in the sea
between Brest and Queenstown. Lieut..
81. g. S. F. Kalk rendered con-
spicuous and gallant service after the
ship sank by helping men from one
raft to another in order to equalize
the weight on the RATS. He died
of exhaustion and exposure and was

great role, both in preserving peace
and in winning wars.
And it is with the former purposes
clearly in view, namely, that OF pre-
serving peace, that the United States
today is speeding its naval construc-
ton program. Under construction now
are two battleships, three aircraft car
riers, one heavy cruiser, nine light
cruisers, SIS destroyers and II sub
marines.
Official figures show that our total
tonnage is 1,083,330, but Of this total
214,000 tons represent over-age ships.
This compares with a total tonnage for
Great Britain of 1,246, 1898, and Japan,
745, ,6O4 tons. Both of these countries,
as well as France, Italy and Germany,
now are engaged in enormous con-
struction programs.
Much of the great tradition OF the
American Navy is embodied in brlef,
unforgettable sentences spoken or writ
ten by commanders in the heat OF bat
tie. 1t is these sentences which speak
volumes in inspiration to all Americans
John Paul Jones said: Il have not
yet begun to flght!"
That gay, ill-fated, supremely brave
man, James Lawrence, with almost his
diving breath uttered the immortal
phrase: Don't give up the ship"
Oliver Hazard Perry wrote a line
that still carries thrill: I'VE have
met the enemy, and they are ours"
1t was David G. Farragut who
snapped out the classic command
Damn the torpedoes. Go ahead!"
Quietly, simply. but with infinite
determination, George Dewey said,
You may fire when you are ready,
Gridley."
OF ALL Americas heroes, the ca
" reer of none is of greater interest
in connection with Navy day than
Oliver Hazard Perry, for not only did
he win the tremendously important
battle of Lake Erie in the War OF 1872,
but he did so with ships whose con-
struction he superintended and whose
crews he helped train. Perry literally
built his own navy, set up his own
naval academy and then won a great
victory against heavy odds.
Gen. William Henry Harrison had
been ordered to fecapture Fort De-
troit surrendered to the British by
Gen. Hull in a humiliating defeat.
Fort Detroit was essential to the con-
troll of the great lakes. Harrison's S
position was precarious and his sue
cess improbable so long as a British
fleet dominated Lake Erie. 1t was
necessary to construct an entirely new
fleet on the lake to contest with the
British for supremacy.
The task was assigned to Lieut..
Perry, who, despite the fact that he
w.: then not 20 years of age, already
had made brilliant record in the
embryonic Navy. Early in February,
1913, the youthful officer set out from
Newport, R. L, for Sacketts Harbor,
on Lake Ontario, for conference with
Commodore Chauncey. Perry made
his way to the town of Erie, in North
western Pennsylvania, where ma
tsrials were being assembled for the
building of a lake fleet with which
to engage the enemy. When Perry
arrived in Erie, Spring was just open
