Among their number was Commo-, dore John liarry. one of the three or four officers to whom our Infant navy owed moat. I had the honor during the hist session of Congress to propose that a monument to Hurry be erected at Washington.

And I heartily Itelleve that we ran, gel together enough money to build that monument. On land they furnished Generals like who fell so gloriously at Uuebec, and Sullivan, the conqueror of the Iroquoia. who came of a New Hampshire family that furnished Governors to three New Knglxnd States. In later times old Mrs. Sullivan whs heard once to re-' mark that she could well remember the Jay when she had to toll hard In the fields while the Governor of New Hampshire, the Governor of Vermont, and the Governor of Musauchust-tts were tugging at her skirts.

"The Continental troops of the hardest fighter' among Washington's Generals.

In the second great crisis of our country's hl'nory the period of the civil war the narl tilaveri bv the men of Irish birth or parentage was no lesa striking than It had been In the Revolution.

Don't spend all your time glorifying the successes and the victories of your ancestors; consider a little their errors and defeats." This. In substance, was the advice which President Roosevelt gave to the Empire State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution at their annual dinner at the Hotel Astor but night. He entered amid a rattling of drums, waving of flags, and blare of trumpets, at the middle of the speech of the Rev. Wlll-ard Scott of Worcester, Mass, and proceeded to deliver a sort of heart-to-heart talk, not referring; to his notes. i'm glad to greet not only the Sons of the American Revolution." said the President.

but the Daughters. It is Indeeda pleasure to be with you. to say a few words of greeting and a few. words In reference to what I feel should be the special work of this society and others like It. The Society of the Sons of the American Revolution does, and ought to, keep up our sense of historic continuity.

It is a good thing-, a pre-eminently good thing-, to do this. We should never lose sight of what has been done In the past by those who formed and those who preserved the Republic It Is also eminently fit that there should be an association for keeping fresh the memory of the past and what the men of the past did. But If we treat this merely as relaxation we fall far short of our duty. We should remember not only victory and success, but we should pay some attention to failure and defeat. The best way to pay effective homage to the men of the past la to live decently and efficiently In the present.

"We have a right' to expect that every society like this shall be a nucleus of patriotic endeavor. I wtah that such bodies would attend, not, only to what is pleasant in out history, but to what. Is unpleasant. I don't think a diet of all praise is a good thing, and It la no better -r si 1 i 1 iL" Ihtn Presl.Vnt '1 of a i a 1 i.avy. Rear Admiral nnt I v.

What we ought to do Is to remember what hnerson said, that an unpleasant truth -4s a much better companion than a- pleasant, falsehood. In reiving vent to our pride we should not alow ourselves to be led away by blindness or by tne raiiure to appreciate wnat was rroni In thn DM Read what Waahinaton said about the average militia regiment In tne revoiu-1 tlon, and take a leson from his adviosJ Hia remarks were not comnllmentary, it p- was because bis warning was not heeded that the first years of the War of 1112 resulted not only disastrously, but shamefully, in the burning of the CUy of Wash i We did not begin to win until we had evolvd a small army. We won at sea because we had a number of frigates and sloops, some of them built fifty years before, whose officers had bad the training of experience.

It was only this fleet that saved us. And if it had been bigger, as It should have betn, there wouldn't have been any war at all. I ask you. of this society, to teach the truth even if it hurts. Dwell.

If you will, on what of right we have done, an don the triumphs of the Revolution and of the war of 1812. and of the other wars, but don't be afraid to point out the defects; don't commit tho almost criminal fault of speaking of our mistakes as if they were acts of wisdom. Get the truth out. Admiral Coahlan here knows, and he can tell you, of the condition of our navy in the vear 1HSJ: Then it would nave oeen the most extravagant flattery to call us even a fifth-rate power. Now.

taking Into conslJeratiou everything about our navy, the way it Is handled and the men In the boiler rooms and behind the guns, we rank as one. or the great naval powers of the world. We are potent for peace now because we deliberately faced the fact that our nary was worth nothing, and set about to improve It. "It has been very troublesome to persuade people of the" wisdom of this Improvement. At first there were those who said we should have only commerce destroyers." They thought somehow mat It was less wicked to aestroy- me commerce of a hostile nation than it waa to have big battleships, and fight them fiercely and effectively.

Then, after that. thre were those who said we must nave a navy. Dut tnat it must oe cuiuwea coast defense ships. "This, was wrong, of No fight was ever won by parrying. If this policy had been carried out Admiral Coghlan and his fellow-Captains under Dewey instead of being In Manila Bay would have been cooned uo Inside the Golden Gate, defending San Francisco.

And the war would nan naa to end. We won because our people naa waked up. and found that we wanted the best types of battleships, had waked up to the fact that the most foolish thing In the world is to hit soft. Avoid trouble; never hit a dog ia you can help it, but never hit soft. "When Dewey sailed Into Manila Bay he sailed in with ships, many of which had been built ten and twelve and fifteen years before.

And the legislators who authorized the building of those ships, the captains who commanded them and trained the men aboard them, every man who did his part to bring tne navy to the condition in which it was. Justly de serves his part of the credit for the vic- toiyn that day. Wehn you cheer Dewey, and Farragut. and Washington, and the rest of our heroes, don con fine wourselves to mat. Take example from them and prepare for victory.

And the only way to prepare for victory is to prepare tor it in aa-vance. What wo want to do now Is to provide for the personnel of the men on board our ships, to secure the highest standard of efficiency in the handling of the ships. In every branch of the navy's work, especially in tne nanaung oi ine great Runs. I was sorry that Congress did not see fit to provide for manoeuvres for the army such as we had last year. Such manoeuvres are most useiui.

romoiy they need not be continued for the militia regiments, but the regular army should certainly have the benefit of them. Given an equal chance, the officers and enlisted men in our army are as good as in any army in the world. It Is well nigh criminal not te give them the chance to Our' nrmv now la'-a. little OOO men. deducting the rorces necessary ror coast defenses, we nave a lorcioie.

fighting army, of only 50. about oiw-fourteenth the sfxe of the troops now contending in the Far East. We owe it to th Nation to have this army as able as it can possibly be made. It should render as good service as any WMWO men could render. We can never make it thus able unless we are willing to spend the money and provide these manoeuvres, so that the officers may learn to handle the army as should be handled.

If. when war comes, you send out an army of, say. SMMKIO men. under officers no one of who haa ever commanded before more than six or seven hundred, you'll meet disaster unless you are fighting against a foe that i more stupid. Study the Resolution, and- the war of 1812, and the Mexican and the civil wars, and try to ee to It that we carry out the old policies that won victories, and avoid tha old policies that brought defeats.

I unAak in the Interest of peace. IWlld cheers.l I ask for an efficient army and navy. We won't surrender our island poa-sess'tons. and we won't give up building the Panama Canal. We'll take measures to make our backing; of the doctrines of peace effective and not mere blunter.

in civic affairs, too. study not only what Washington did, but what waa done by those who undid much of hia good work. Study errors no less than triumphs; and profit alike by the errors and by the triumphs. Each of us will admit these truths you and I know they are so but somehow when one of us gets up to speak in public he thinks he ought not to speak of anything except what may be received with applause. We feel like indulging In hyperbolic eulogies.

Face the facts. A good physician, when he makes a diagnosis, is neither optimist nor pessimist. Ho is. not with what he would like the diagnosis to be. He wants to find out the facts.

It is fatal to his patient if he does not make an accurate diagnosis. So it should be our policy to find out what the facts really are, to find the good qualities and the State the truth. Don't hysterically exaggerate the good, don't hysterically exaggerate the evil. Examine the situation as dispassionately as you can. Then set' to work to make better the good and do away with the bad.

This is the way to pay the most effective homage to Washington and Lincoln, and the others, who won not by any supernatural qualities, but by applying common sense to whatever situation that faced them, and then drawing to the last drop upon their courage, resolution, and wisdom, to bring safely out of difficulties the Republic as a whole."
