Vietor of Great Fight ou Sea of Japan Says Mis Country Must Fer eser Malsiain ts Naval Supremacy. WASHINGTON, Feb 28 President Roosevelt addressed to the secretary of war, who promulgaied the same in a gegeral order, a leller reciting the achievements of the Japatuese admiral, Togo, during tbe late war between Japag and Russia. and repeating for the benefit of American soldiers aml sallors the address issued by hat ad- milral ypon the conclusion of the war, The point of the president's letter Is the uecessity of kecplng the persohnel of the grimy and navy at the highest pitch in time of peace in onder (0 be prepared for war. The president's letter 4s In part as follows: “In the recent war in the east Adwmi- ral Togo took his place among the great sea fighters of 4ll time. His mes- sage to the united squadron which be colimanded, on the occasion of its dis- persal at the close of the war, is se noteworthy that I deem It proper to have It inserted in a general order of the department, “I commend Admiral Togo's address to every man who is a part of the fighting force of the United States and to every man who believes that if ever, unhappily, war should come It should be so conducted as to reflect credit upon the American people.” The portion of the address of Admli- ral Togo quoted by the president is as follows: “The war of twenty months’ dura- tion Is now a thing of the past, and our united squadron, having completed its functions, Is to be herewith Jispersed. But our duties as uaval men are pot preserve lu perpetuity the fruits of this war, to promote to an ever greater belght of prosperity the fortunes of the cooutry, the navy, which lrrespective of peace or war bas to stand between the empire and shocks from abrosd, wust always malotain its strength at sea and must be prepared to meet any emergency. “This strength does not consist sole ly In ships and armament. It consists also in material sbility to utilize such sgents When we understand that one gun that 100 per cent of bits Is a match for a bundred of the sn- emy’s guns each of which scores only 1 per cent It becomes evident that we sallors must have recourse bLeforé ev- erything to the strength which is over and above externals. “The triumphs recently won by eur navy are largely to be attributed to the babitual training which epabled us to garner the fruits of the fighting. If then we infer the future from the past we recognise that. though war may cease, we cannot abandon ourselves to ease and reet. “A soldier's whole life is one contin- uous and unceasing battle, and there is po reason why his responsibilities sbould vary with the state of the times. In days of crisis be has to dlis- play his strength, io days of peace to sccumulste It, thus perpetually and uniquely discharging his duties to the full. It men calling themselves sailors grasp at the pleasures of peace they will learn the lesson that however ne in appearance their engines of war thesg, like a house built on the sand, will fall at the first approach of the storm. “When In ancient times we conquered Korea that country remained over 400 years under our coutrol, only to be lost immediately so soon as our navy declined. Agaln when under the sway of the Tokugawa in modern days our armaments were neglected, the coming of a few American ships threw us into distress. “On the other hand, the British navy, which won the battles of the Nile and of Trafalgar, not only made England 8 secure as a great mountain, but also by thenceforth carefully main: taining its strength and keeplog It on a Jevel with the world's progress has safeguarded that country's interests and promoted ts fortunes for more than 8 hundred years. “We naval men who have survived the war must plan future developments and seek not to fall Lelind the prog- ress of the time. If, keeplug the In- structions of our sovereign ever graven on our hearts, we serve earnestly and diligently and putting forth our full strength await what the bLour may bring forth we shall then Lave dis charged our great duty of perpetually guarding our country.” Oficial Election Figures.
