On bidiull ol tliu American imru.lt T
wish to tlinnk our ancli-nt ally. tl,H
great Krem li nation, t) wliom. belo we
once owed It that John fnul Joiich waa
oiicu ablii to win for llio Stnra and
Htripi- the victory that tins ulven him
denllilc Iniiio, and to h Iiohh courU-sy
we owe It thiit tliu of the Ion dead
hero hit been aunt hither, and that to
comnuimurtitw the reception ol tbn illun-
trious iliiml a tipiailron ol l'retich war
ship have been aunt to our shorn.
"The nuiialt ol tbu fri-iich navv arn
filled with tbn nn me of brave and able
seamen, each of vihoiu counted death u
a tiilstrews when tbn honor of bis (lug
waa at tnk; and among the figures of
theo bravu mnii there looms thu Inrgnr
shai of tluivo who, like Tourville, l)e
n,iitstie, and the aailll da Huirren, who
won renown it fKi-t ndmlriila Inferior to
none ol any navy of their day In mar
tial prowe.
"Inaddlllon to welcoming llio diplo
matic representative ol Franco bcro
present, let me also express my heart
full ncknowlndtfciiicnl to our former
ambassador to fails, General Horace
l'orter, to viln.se zealous devotion wu
parlicuhitly owe it that the body o'
John 1'nnl Jones I us been prougbt to
our shoic.
"When the body wa thus brought
ovur tho representative ol many dil-
ferent eiliea wrote to me, each asking
that It should find it but renting place
in this city. Hut I feel that the place
ol all other In which the muniory ol
tho dead hero allt most surely l a
living (i.rce I here In Annapolis where
)ar by year we turn out the iiildablp-
men alio are to officer In the future
t'io navy, among wIiom loundor the
dead inna stands flrt. Moreover, the
future naval oHioers, who live within
these walls, will Qttd in tho career ol
llic man bote. Ido we this day cele
brate, not merely a subject for admira
tion and reeppct, but an object lufson
to be taken Into their Innermost hearts.
Kvery officer In our navy should know
by heart the deed uf John 1'aul Jones.
Kveiy officer In our navy should feel iu
each fibre of hi being tho esger deiro
to emulate the onertry, the professional
capacity, the lii'loniitabledcteruiinalion
and daunllea eeoru ol dealh which
marked John Paul Jones above all hi
fellow.
"The hUlory ol our navy, like the
history o! our nation, only extends oyer
a period ol a century and a. quarter, ret
wo already have mat y meuioiiea of
priJe to thrill u a we read and bear
ol what ha been done by our lighting
men of the tea, from IVriy and Mhc-
lonough to Fartagui and Pcwry. Tlteeo
memories include brilliant victories,
and ato, now and then, di'fcuts only
lets honorable than the victories them
selves, but the only defeat to which
this praise can be given are those where,
agaiiut heavy odds, men bavo stood
to the death in hopeless battlo. It is
well fur every American officer lo re
member that while surrender may -or
may n t be defensible, tho man who
rct'i'cs to surreuder need never make a
defense. The one fact mut always be
explained ; the other needs no explana
tion. Moreover, ho who would win
glory and honor for the nation aud for
himnclf, must not too closely count tho
odds; if ho does ho v. ill never seo such a
day as that when Cashing tank the Al
bemarle.
"In lit fight wilh tho heraid Jones'
ship wss so badly mauled that his oppo
nent hulled Iiim, saying, ' Has your ship
struck?' To which Jones answered, '1
nave not yet begun to fiiht.' The spiiit
which Inspired that answer upbore tho
man who gave it nnd tho crew who
served tinder him through the fury ol
the battle which finally ended In thoir
triumph. It aa the same spirit which
marked the commanders of the Cumber
land and thu Cotigtosw, when they met
an equally glorious though less fortu
nate bite. Tho Cumberland sank, hor
(htg flying, and her guns firing with tho
i!ecks awash, while, when summoned to
surrender, Morris replied, 'Never! I'll
sink alongside!' mid niado his words
good. Immediately after tho Cumber
land was sunk tho Congress was nt
lacked, and her commander, Lieutenant
Jou Smith, waa killed. Afler lighting
until she was heluless, mid being unable
to bring her guns to hour, the ship wns
surrendered, but when Smith' lather,
old Commodore Joe Smith, who was on
luty at Washington, saw by tho dia-
natcbos from fort Wonroo that tho
Congress had hoisted thu while flag, ho
said quietly, 'Thot Joo's dead!' Surely
no father could a ish to leel prouder
certainty ol his boy's behavior than tho
old commodore showed bo poscBsed
when ho thus spoke; and no naval olli
cer conld hope to win a liner epitaph.
"We have met today to do honorto the
niiithty dead. Remember that our words
of adutiratou are but a sounding brass
mid tinkling cymbals il we do not by
steady preparation and by the cultivation
of soul and mind and body fit ourselves
so Hint In time of need we shall be prepared
to emulate their deed. Let every mid
shipman who passes through this Institu
tion reinemlier, ns he lo .ks upon the
tomb of John l'aul Jones, that while no
courage can atone for the lai k of that
efficiency which comes only through
careful preparation in advance through
careful training of the men, and careful
fitting out of the euglues of war, yet that
none of these can avail unless iu the
moment of crisis the heart rises level
with the crisis. The nnvy whose cap
tains will uot surrender is sure in the
long run to whip the nnvy whose cap
tains will surrender unless the inequali
ties in skill or force are prodigious. The
courage which never yield cannot take
the tmicj ol the possession ol good ships
and good weapons and the ability skill
fully to use these ships and these wea
i.i.t iu nresence will often atone
for many 'other shortcomings, and if
with it are combined the other military
quulllies, the tortunalc owuer
litcr-iilv invincible.
