Dies Plans Reports
On Rome and Toxic
Activities in u. ).
Records Of Suspected
Subversive Foreign
Agents to Be Seized
BY tie Associated Press.

The Dies committee promised to-
day to follow up its German white
paper" with companion reports de-
voted to alleged italian and jap
anese activities in the United States.
The material set forth in Its
white paper" on German activities,
the committee charged. was evidence
of a closely -integrated scheme of
Nazi espionage, propaganda and
planning in this country.
Informed sources said that an
italian white paper" similar to the
500-page document released yester-
day on German activities, was being
prepared by the committee and
would be transmitted to Congress
within a few weeks.
Committee investigators, mean
while, were reported actively pursu-
ing their inquiry into the operations
of persons the committee believes
to be identified with the Japanese
government, but the form of the re-
port on this material has not been
determined.
Publicity Destroys Effectiveness.
Chairman Dies of the committee
said in st. Louis that the German
report was unique in American his
tory" and that any Nazi effective
ness would be destroyed" by its con-
tents. 1t was Mr.. Dies who gave the
report its white paper" title prior
to publication.
Aides of Mr.. Dies said he had de-
cided to take charge personally Of
inquiries now under way in many
cities. In the hope that activities Of
any agents unfriendly to the United
States might be discredited.
Mr.. Dies, himself, emphasized at
st. Louis that he did mot intend to
move against any innocent people,
of whatever nationality"
He indicated, however, that the
white paper his committee issued
yesterday might not mean the end
of the line of inquiry concerned with
alleged German activities.

on to greater activity. There was
inspiration, too, in the words of
Capt. Lawrence, the commander
of the Chesapeake whose dying
order was, Don't give up the ship"
In his honor Perry directed to name
one of his vessels the Lawrence.
He selected it as his flagship.
After scarcely more than four
months of hurried, driving work,
Perry was ready for battle. Women
of Erie had made a banner upon
which were inscribed the dying
words of Lawrence and with this
emblem floating proudly from the
mast of the ship named for the
heroic commander of the Chesa-
peake, Perry left for Put-in-B Bay,
where the recently dedicated Perry
Memorial now stands.

laughter of Senator Thomas H.
Benton of Missouri, was one of the
bridesmaids She was attended by
the then Senator Buchanan, who
afterward became the 18th President
of the United States. The Chevalier
de Martini, Minister from The
Hague, accompanied the lovely 16-
year-old daughter of Commodore
Morris, and the British Minister,
Henry Stephen Fox, another of the
groomsmen, appeared respondent
in a court suit of scarlet and gold.
The bride, who was given away by
Henry Clay, wore a dress of white
satin and silver lace, which was FASH
toned after the costume of Russian
bride; the low-cut dress showing to
perfection her lovely white shoul-
ders and neck. A coronet of red vel
vet. blazing with diamonds, rested
upon her golden hair. The bride

The distinguished gathering at
tending the wedding ceremony in
cluded the President and his cabinet,
the diplomatic corps in full regalia,
officers of the Army and Navy in uni
form and many other distinguished
persons. The knot was tied by the
Rev. Holiday Johns.
Soon after the marriage the count
purchased a large country estate for
his bride, and here he erected a
magnificent home, where they re-
sided during the summer months.
This property will best be recalled
as Argyle. which then lay TO the
west of Piney Branch road and
north of Piney branch After the
death of Count Bodisco the prop

with deer. During the peak of the

Piney Branch road afforded a de-
hghtful run to Brightwood, shaded
as it was by trees, nearly all its dis

1900s this road and Brightwood ave-
nue., now Georgia avenue, were the
only thoroughfares running north
from the city to Brightwood.

The British squadron of six YES
sells, commanded by Capt. Barclay,
lay at Fort Maiden nearly opposite
on the Canadian side. The Bri-
fish fighting force consisted of about
500 men. of whom $50 were efficient.
Perry's force was smaller in num-
bers and of these fully 100 were Ill
and constituted a handicap rather
than an aid.
The British vessels had So guns
while those of the American ships
numbered only 81. In long range
weapons the British had the adj
vantage, but in short guns the
weight of metal favored the Ameri-
cans. This made it necessary for
Perry to do much close-in fighting.
1t was beautiful morning in the
early fall-September 10, 1873
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-09-08

when the British feet sailed forth
to contest for the supremacy Of
the Great Lakes. Barclay had care
fully estimated the strength of his
opponent and was confident of vic
tory. Perry was ready; in fact, he
had been prepared for a month to
meet the enemy but had been un-
successful in his efforts to bring
him out.
The sky was cloudless, the water
quiet as mill pond. There was not
enough breeze to cause Perry's
banner, inscribed with the memoir
able words of Lawrence, to f1utter
full in the balmy air; there was
just enough to fill the sails partly
and to enable the vessels to ma
newer. The pennant hung mute
from its staff, but every fighting
man on both sides knew it was there
and understood its meaning.
The first British cannon ball was
fired at 1890 am. Perry gave
words of encouragement to his men
and they steadied their own fire,
but the long range guns quickly
found the decks of the Lawrence.
Perry had to take her in close so
her shots might hit. After an hour
of fighting, however, his flagship
was badly damaged. Her guns had
been disabled; her rigging was shot
down; her spars were shattered; her
sails were in tatters. Eighty-three
of her officers and men were killed
or wounded. Twice the vessel had
narrowly escaped being blown up
by shots passing through her
magazines.
Perry then decided to transfer his
flag to the Niagara. Leaving COM
mand of the Lawrence to a junior
officer, Perry hauled down the
blue ensign with its patriotic legend,
and with his brother Alexander and
four seamen started in row boat
for the Niagara. The smoke was
so dense that he was not seen until
he had nearly reached the Mag
ara. Then came shot that went
through the sides of the boat. Perry
tore off his coat and calked the hole
and kept the little skiff from sink
ing. AS he stepped aboard the Nj
agara he saw his beloved Law
renee lower her colors. Perry's
brave ship had withstood the brunt
of the engagement and had been
forced to strike. To add to his pain.
the British, thinking they had won
the battle, raised a cheer. They
allowed the Lawrence to drift
away, however, and soon her flag
was up again and she was returning
fire.
Battle Won.
Perry brought the Niagara into
position and ordered . terrific

broadside into the British flagship.
Moving forward, he called for
another into the one that followed
her in line. Other American ships
then came up and the battle which
the British a few minutes before
thought they had won was raging
with desperate intensity. Within
half an hour, under ceaseless fire at
close range, two of the largest
British men-of-war were completely
disabled. Two others attempted to
escape but were pursued and cap
tured. Then came the signal in
dicating British surrender.
The formal surrender, Perry
determined, should take place on
board the Lawrence. Again he
lowered his flag and fastened back
to the battered vessel with its scenes
of dead and wounded. The English
officers came aboard the gallant
Lawrence and presented their
swords to Perry. With dignity he
returned them. The captive COM
mander later referred to Perry as
"the gallant and generous enemy"
With the smoke of battle still
heavy on deck and below, Perry
took an old letter out of his pocket
and upon the back of 1t 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 brief mes
sage said, two ships, two brigs, one
schooner and one sloop. Yours, with
very great esteem o. H. Perry"
Victory was complete and the
battle was the beginning of the end
of the war. News Of the triumph
caused national rejoicing. Harrison
hurried 1000 men to the lake where
Perry's fleet awaited to take them
across. The British were at Fort
Maiden. Upon the landing of the
Americans. they fed. Harrison
followed them up the river, and Fort
Detroit surrendered. The British
retreated along st. Clair Lake and
the Thames River, with the Ameri-
cans in hot pursuit. Perry went
ashore and offered his services as
aide-de-camp to Harrison. He was
called "the sailor on horseback"
Perry's journey to his home in
Newport, r. l., was a triumphal
procession. He was promoted to
captain and gold medal was
awarded to him by Congress. His
death occurred on the 34th an
niversary of his birth, August %,
1919.
: Decatur said of him when he
died, THE American Navy has lost
Its brightest ornament"
