I Admiral, In Autobiography,
I Pays Tribute to His Fore
Z sight and Aid.
THE nutoblography of I George
Dewey, admiral of the navy,
Just from the press of Scrlb
ner's, promises to be the most
interesting book of the season. Ad
miral Dewey's reminiscences of tho
civil war are entertaining and told lu a
straightforward, pleasing stylo that
holds the attention of the reader and
gives pen pictures of the stirring events
of those earlier days. It is when he
comes to deal with history leading up
to and Including the war with Spain
that his autobiography becomes of In
tense Interest, for ho speaks plainly
and expresses his opinions on matters
that a few years ago would be discuss
ed In naval circles only lu tho secrecy
of the club or the wardroom.
In tho fall of 1S97 Admiral Dewey
says ho knew that Commodore John
A. Howell and himself wore being con
sidered for tho command of tho Asiatic
squadron. Tho most Influential officer
in the distribution of assignments was
Rear Admiral Crowninshield, chief of
tho bureau of navigation, "a pronounc
ed bureaucrat," writes Admiral Dewey,
"with whoso temperament and methods
I had little more sympathy than had the
majority of the officers of the nary at
that time." Dewey says Crownin
shlcld would hardly recommend him to
any command, "and his advice had
great weight with John D. Long, who
was then secretary of tho navy."
Roosevelt Wanted Hint.
Of Theodore Roosevelt, then assist
ant secretary of the navy, Dewey says
"he was most impatient of red tape
and had a singular understanding both

of the importance of preparedness for
war and of striking quick blows in
rapid succession once war was begun.
With tho enthusiastic candor which
characterizes him, ho declared that I
ought to have tho Asiatic squadron."
Admiral Dewey tells how Roosevelt
asked him If ho had any political In
fluence and his own expression of dis
inclination to use It.
"I want you to go. You aro tho man
who will bo equal to tho emergency if
ono arises. Do you know any sena
tors?" Mr. Roosevelt la quoted ns say
ing. "Admiral Dewey said his heart was
set on having tho Asiatic squadron, as
It seemed to him tho country was in
evitably drifting Into a war with
Spain.
"In command of an efficient force in
tho far east, with a free hand to act.
In consequence of being so far from
Washington," ho writes, "I could strike
promptly and successfully at tho Span
ish force In tho Philippines."
"Red .Tape" Scored.
After his appointment, for which the
Influence of Senator Proctor of Ver
mont was largely responsible, and pri
or to his departure Dewey says ho
studied tho Philippines and tho condi
tions of the squadron ho was to com
mand. "Inquiry about tho quantity of
ammunition In the squadron developed
tho fact that thero was not even a
peaco allowance. Although a further
supply had boon ordered, no ono seem
ed to think It necessary to facilitate
Its shipment, thanks largely to tho red
tapo of official conservatism."
Throughout tho volume thero appears
tills frank criticism of tho red tape
methods and tho delay that seemed at
that tlmo to lmpedo every movement,
ven after it becatno app'arent that war
would follow. Dewey relates that he
urged tho denarttaent to ship this am
munition at once, but that ho was told
ho must wait for repairs to tho Charles
ton, which would require six months.
Supported by Roosevelt he Anally ob

atlc squadron, to transport ns much as
possible. This vessel carried less than
half tho supply. Tho remainder was
shipped on the Baltimore, which Dow
ey says "reached Hongkong only forty
eight hours before our vessels left that
port in obedience to the queen's proc
lamation of neutrality."
This ammunition was transferred to
the other ships in Mlrs bay on the day
of tho" declaration of war. It was by
such a narrow margin that Dewey 'ob
tained his ammunition, and the total
supply was none too much for tho task
ahead of him. His ships, he said, had
only CO per cent of the full capacity. ,
Ammunition Scanty.
"Authoritative statements have been
made," writes Dewey, "to tho effect
that the squadron was amply supplied
with ammunition. It was not oven
fully supplied, let nlone having any re
serve. It Is not for mo to criticise the
department, but only to state a fact
and to repeat that there can bo no neg

without its magazines and shell rooms
filled, but without a largo reservo of
ammunition within reach."
Admiral Dewey observes that In or-,
der to give our fleet commanders In
foreign waters n position commensu
rate with the dignity of tho country
they represented "It had been for many
years tho unvarying custom that ev
ery commodore ordered as command
er In chief of the Asiatic squadron
should hold the rank of rear admiral
from the moment his flag was raised.
Explaining that this had boon done
for so long that It became to be looked
upon as a right, Admiral Dewey mild
ly criticises his superior officers when
lie wrote:
"It was a surprising Innovation when
Secretary Long Informed mo that in.
my case I was to hoist tho broad pen
nant of a commodore and not the flag
of a rear admiral. No ono could have
known better than Rear Admiral
Crowninshield, Secretary Long's chief
adviser," continues Admiral Dewey,
"how subordinate this would make my
position In all Intercourse with tho
squadron commanders and officials, of
other nations, arid particularly In case
ay necessity for combined Interna
tional action should arise."
Slighted by Superiors.
""This," continued Dewey, "was ono
of those llttlo pin pricking slights
which aro bound to be personally un
pleasant to any officer of long service."
When after his appolntmont to the
Asiatic squadron, Admiral Dewey says,
he began to study up tho Philippines
"and sought information at Washing
ton I found tho latest official report
relutlve to tho Philippines on fllo In tho
offlco of naval Intelligence boro tho
date of 1870."
These memoirs ludlcato that tho com
mander of tho Asiatic squadron was
not kept very well informed of events
by his government. Tho decision to
tako his squadron to Hongkong was
entirely on his own initiative, "with
out any hint whatever from tho de
partment that hostilities might bo ex
pected. It was evident that in caso of
emergency Hongkong was the most ad
vantageous position from which to
move to tho attack." Tho first real
step looking like action came in a cable
from Roosevelt, Feb. 25, 1808, a mes
sage which, Admiral Dewey says,
"boro tho slgnaturo of that assistant
secretary, who had seized tho oppor
tunity whilo acting secretary to hasten
preparations for n conflict which was
Inevitable."
Dash For Philippines.
Dewey's story of his preparations for
that dash to tho Philippines is in
tensely Interesting, no recites his
struggles to sccuro n supply of coal
and gives a vivid picture of how ho at
tempted and succeeded in obtaining n
secret base, 7,000 mIes from home, to
which ho could repair for coal or In
tho event of disaster to his ships. This
ho accomplished through a Cfalncso
comprador, tho supplies and haven of
refuge being located at nn Isolated spot
on the Chinese coast. China net bahsg
able to enforce the neutrality laws
with any very great diligence.
In connection with part of his pre
paratory work Admiral Dewey express
es amazement at a cable from Secre
tary Long In which that official said,
after reminding him of International
law, that "only tho Japanese ports are
available, as storehouses. Should ad
vise storehouse at Nagasaki for the
base of supplies or supply steamer to
accompany squadron."
Admiral Dewey declared that If any
nation would bo scrupulous In tho en
forcement of every detail of neutrality
It would be Japan, and, while it seemed
hardly possibly "that we could have
made some secret diplomatic arrange
ment with her pf which I had not been
fully advised," in order to sound his
ground Admiral Dewey cnVled the
American minister, who promptly re
plied that Japanese ports could not he
used as a base for supplies.
long's Instructions Criticised.
"If I had acted on tho secretary's
advice," said Admiral Dewey, "not
only should wo havo given offense to
a sensitive nation, but our squadron
might have suffered a good deal of in
convenience." Dewey also writos that
he declined to comply with tho depart
ment's Instructions to man and arm
the Zaflro and Nanshan, supply ships
that he bought To do tliat, he said,
would have given them tho status of
American naval vessels and subject to
all neutrality laws.
Thus after many vicissitudes and
many anxious moments of waiting tho
squadron finally started toward Ma
nila bay. Admiral Dowey corrects tho
popular belief that tho entrance to Su
big bay was not mined. "A Spanish
officer as'sured tho executive officer of
the Concord that eighty mines had
been plnnted at tho entrance. Somo
fifteen others which tho Spanish had
neglected to plant were found later' by
our officers In the Spanish storehouse
at the Sublg bay naval station," was
Admiral Dewey's comment on this
subject.
Stopped Only For Powder.
Admiral Dewey punctures a story
circulated at the time of this battle,
when he was reported to have with-

been practically put out of commission
in order that his men might havo their

quite so nonchalant as all that
When tho enemy seemed to be whip
ped, although that knowledge was not
definite, the report was brought to Ad
miral Dowey that thero remained only
fifteen rouuds per gun for tho five inch
battery. Alarmed by that report,
which subsequently was shown to ba
an error, Dowey says ho withdrew
temporarily for a redistribution of am
munition, if necessary.
"I know," said he, "that fifteen
rounds of five Inch ammunition would
bo shot nway In Ave minutes; "but, ho
added, "even ns wo were steaming out'
of range tho distress of tho Spanish
ships became evident."
Why He Cut Cable.
According to tho statement of the
admiral, tho cutting of tho cable at
Manila was not duo to any dcslro or
purposo to removo himself from his
superiors at Washington. Tho reports
current at tho tlmo must have been
known to tho admiral when ho wrote
his autobiography.
Tho reasons assigned were in the
lino of military precaution quly. In
command of tho city by sea, but not;
able to land forces until several
months later, Dowey sent word to the
captain 'general that if he were permit
ted to transmit messages by cablo to
nongkong tho captain general also
would bo permitted to use It.
"Ho refused my request about the
cablo," writes Dewey. "As a result he
found himself cut off from all tele

I directed tho Zaflro to cut tho cable."

Lesson VIII. Fourth Quarter,
For Nov. 23, 1913.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of tho Lesson, Josh.-1, 1-9 Mem
ory Verses, 5, 6 Golden Text, Josh.
1-9 Commentary by Rev. D. M.
Stearns.
Tho book of Joshua opens with nn
other roferenco to tho passing from
earth of Moses, in some respects great
est of all prophets (Deut. xxxlv, 10-12),
and again he is called by that great
name, the servant of tho Lord (Deut.
xxxiv, 5). It Is one of tho titles of
tho Lord Jesus (Isa. xlll, 1; Matt xit,
18; Zech. ill, 8), and on that great
passover night, when thero was n strife
among tho disciples as to who should
bo tho greatest, He taught that It was
greater to servo and said, "I am among
you' as he that serveth" (Luke xxll,
24-27). Paul rejoiced in tho title
(Rom. I, 1; Phil. 1, 1; Tit. i, 1) and per
haps never said anything greater than
when he said, "Whose I am and whom
I serve" (Acts xxvll, 23). Joshua is
called Moses' minister or servant -or
tho ono standing before him (Ex. xxlv,
13; xxxlli, 11; Deut. i, 38).
Wo meet him for tho first time vic
toriously leading Isrncl against Ama
lek, while Aaron and Hur stayed up
the hands of Moses. Next wo find him
ns Moses' minister going up Into tho
mount of God with Moses when ho
went to recolvo the tables of the law
and returning with him tfter the forty
days. Then wo find him abiding In tho
tabernacle and afterward as one of
tho twelve spies and one of tho two
who encouraged tho people to go up at
that time and possess tho land, the
only two who left Egypt as men and
entered into the promised land (Ex.
xvll, 8-10; xxlv, 13; xxxil, 17; xxxlli.
11; Num. xlll, 8, 10;xiv, G, 30; xxvi, 0.")).
When Moses was told that he could
not enter Into the land ho asked the
Lord to set a man over them who would
faithfully shepherd them, and tho Lord
said, "Take thoo Joshua, the son of
Nun, a man In whom is the spirit, and
lay thine hand upon him" (Num. xxvll,
12-23).
Now Moses is gone, and Joshua is
tho leader, and the Lord spake unto
Joshua, and our lesson gives .us tho
message. Wo read In ono place that
'tho word of tho Lord came expressly
unto Ezeklol" (Ezek. I, 3), and unless
I tho word of the Lord comes expressly
to each of us as wo read we havo not
read with profit as wo might have done.
There Is a Canaan to be possessed
and enjoyed, not after wo die, but here
and now, and we may enter ourselves
and help others to enter. It Is ull a
matter of fnlth, and "we who havo
believed do enter Into rest" (Hob. lv,
3). The land was given, to them, but
they were to enter in and take posses
sion, only that which they actually
trod upon being really theirs (verses
2, 4; Deut. xi, 24).
I do not know any greater assurance
for a believer In tho-word of God than
those wonderful words of tho Lord to
men, "I om with you." Even to Jacob
no said, "Behold, I am with thee and
will keep thee." To Isaac He said,
"Fear not, for I am with thee." To
Moses no said, "Certainly I will bo
with thee," and now no says to Josh
uas "As I was with Moses, so I will be
with thee., I will not fall thoo nor
forsake thee" (verso 5; Gen. xxvlll, l!i;
xxvl, 24; Ex. HI, 12).
Tho Lord Jesus could say nothing
greater to Ills disciples when Ho sent
them forth after His resurrection with
tho good news for all tho world than
"Lo, I nni with you all tho days" (Matt,
xxvlll, 20). Just ono suggestion from
this great assurance certainly is this
that no will do it all, nil that is to bo
done, if we will only bo nis willing
and obedient fellow workers (I Cor,
111, 0; II Cor. vi, 1).
His word is to bo our continual and
only guide, our meditation day and
night, our solo rellanco in every mat
tor, and at all times, then, thero shall
b'o truo prosperity and good success
and constant victory over all enemies
(verses 5, 7, 8; Vs. i, 2; .Ter. xvll, 7. 8).
In such nn attitude of soul and with
n mind thus stayed upon Jehovah wo
cannot but bo strong and of good cour
age. I havo found this command ten
times, but possibly you may find It
more often Moses to Israel, once;
Moses to Joshua, twice; tho" Lord to
Joshua, three times; Israel to Joshua,
once; Joshua to Israel, once; David to
Solomon, twlco; (Deut. xxxi, 0, 7, 23;
Josh. 1, 0, 7, 0, 18; x, 24; I Chron. xxll,
13; xxvlll, 20).
I remember well what a strength
Deut. xxxi, 0, 8, wero to me in the fall
of 1870 ns I moved my family from,
St. John, N, B., to Boston, Mass., hav
ing given up the position of principal
of a public school to glvo my wholo
tlmo to missionary work. Tho Lord
did certainly speak to my soul in those
words at that time and many a time
since.
As to all truly Christian work, slnco
IIo cannot fall nor bo discouraged (Isa.
xlll, 4) those who bollovo and rely upon
Ills "I am with you" cannot fall nor
I o discouraged.
Note tho "Re not afraid; neither bo
thou dismayed," of vereo 0 and com
paro Isa. xli, 10, 13, and Deut xxxi, S.
Tho "Have not I commanded thee?"
reminds us of the word to Gideon, "Go
in this thy might; havo not I
sent thee?" (Judg. vi, 14) and of Jer.
I, 7, 8i "Thou shalt go to all that I shall
send thee. I am with thee." All
depends upon who commands us, who
sends us.
WHAT FARM BUREAUS ARE.
What the Farmers' Club Can Do for
the Country.
By Fred Ward.
County Agricultural Agent for St.
Louis County, Minn.
(National Crop Improvement Service.
The farmers' club should be to the
country community what the commer
cial club is to the city. A farmers'
club stands for organized effort. Co
operation in the broad sense is work
ing together in harmony of all classes
of people. The success of our coun
try depends upon our homes. Our
most important work in this world is
caring for our boys and girls.
The country fs a better place in
which to bring up children than the
city. More important to the farmer
than better potatoes, sows, pigs and
chickens, should be his boys and girls.
How many of us have lived in farm
communities where men thought
more about their live stock than about
their children, with the result that as
oon as the children are" big enough,
they leave the farm for the city.
Whole Families in Club.
A farmers' club carf do much to
overcome these conditions. A great
mistake is often made in organizing
farmers' clubs by. thinking they should
be for men alone. The women of this
country work as hard as the men;
they bear as many burdens, and they
deserve as much credit as the men.
The most successful farmers' club
will be made up of .families of the
community.
Loyal Get Together Spirit.
Before a farmers' club can under
take any definite line of work they
must have the loyal, "get together,
co-operative spirit. Regular meetings
that have been carefully planned will
do much to develop this spirit. To
my mind this is the most important
feature of the farmers' club work.
The motto of every farmers' club
should be "Better Farm Homes."
Club Buys Thoroughbred Sires.
By co-operating the farmers can get
a pure-bred bull at the farmers' club
meeting. If it is a dairy section each
farmer should weigh the milk from
each cow and keep a record of it. The
milk should be tested for butter fat
at least once every month. A record
of feed should also be kept. The
boys and girls of the farm will be
much interested in making the butter
fat test with a Babcock milk tester
that can be purchased for a few dol
lars from any "creamery supply house
or from your local dealer. The boys
end girls will soon become interested
in seeing which "old bossy" makes
the best use of the food she .eats. In
some places the farmers' club buys a
milk tester and tests all the milk for
the club. Another very good way is
to put a tester into the school and let
the children test the milk as part of
their school work. It is well for the
farm boy and girl to know the length
of the equator, but it is more import
ant for them to know how to figure
balanced rations and keen the milk
and feed records. By getting a pure
bred sire and keeping records of the
milk productions and feed of our indi
vidual cows we can cull out the un
profitable ono6 and rapidly raise the
standard of dairy cows of our neigh
borhood. Club for One Variety.
In many communities where pota:
toes, for example, can be grown prof
itably but where there are no co-operators
among the farmers, you may
find a dozen different varieties but
not enough of any one variety to sell
to advantage. With the advent of the
farmers' club these conditions disap
pear. The farmers readily see when
they get together, the importance of
raising one or two. varieties of pota
toes. They are then able to furnish
a buyer with a uniform variety of po
tatoes in small or large quantities,
and will usually get a good price for
their product. What is true of the po
tato crop is1 true of almost any crop.
Club for Good Roads.
No matter how much a farmer
raises, if he cannot get it to market
economically he is the loser. A
farmer needs good roads. Co-operation
here means much to the farmer.
A farmers' club stands a better
chance of getting what is asked for
from the town, county or state than
the individual farmer does. There is
nothing that will help the farm home
like good roads. Good roads bring
neighbors close together and help im
prove social conditions in the neigh
borhood, which tends to keep the boy
and girl on the farm.
Telephone Clubs.
In many places the farmers' clubs
are putting in telephone systems.
The biggest part of the business
of farming is marketing the product
properly.
Buying and Selling.
There are many fine farmers who
can raise good crops but who fail ab
solutely on the selling end of the busi
ness. A farmers' club can aid mater
ially in marketing. Eggs for example
put up in cartons and marketed
through a farmers' organization will
bring several cents more per dozen.
A farmers' club can help work out
the the problems of farm credit. It is
unfair to the business of farming to
compel a farmer to pay more for
money that he needs to improve his
farm or buy live stock with than men
in other lines of business have to pay.
Instead of complaining about these
things the farmers should orgamV
the farmers' clubs and help straiglr.
"them out.
City and Country. l
Much effort has been extended by
commercial clubs and other city or
ganizations to bring the farmer and
city man together. We know the city
people need the country people and
the country people need the city peo
ple. We know that the farmer and
city man. must co-operate before the
best results will be obtained in the
business of farming.
Before the farmer can hope to co
operate with his city brother he must
learn to co-operate with his country
brothers who live on the other side
of the line fence. A good farmers'
club will do much to eliminate fac
tional feeling that is so apparent in
almost every unorganized farming
community. Let the farmers of the
community put their shoulder to the
wheel and boost) for the farmers' club
movement because it stands for better
'arm homei.

will result from the completion of
large sections of second track which
have been under construction for
some tlmo.
He said that this equipment would

fifty-ton self-clearing hopper cars,
1,500 undarframe box cars, and 500
