THO REMAINS OF PAUL JONES NTERRED Body of the Famous American Admiral laid in Its Final Resting Place Amid Appropriate Cere- , monies Prominent Hen Attend. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DELIVERS NOTABLE EULOGY ON GREAT AMERICAN ADMIRAL, AND PRAISES DEEDS OF AMERICAN IUVY,-PEEFER DEATH TO SURRENDER FRENCH ADMIRALS RECEIVE MEED OF PRAISE FOR DEEDS. f ' ANNAPOLIS, M(L April 24. Presi dent Roosevelt and many prominent men attended the re interment of Paul Jones' body today. Roosevelt spoke sayings "On behalf of the American people I wish to thank our ancient ally, the great French nation, that proud and gallant nation to whose help we once owed it that John Paul Jones was able to win for the Stars and Stripes the victory that has given him deathless fame, and to whose courtesy we now owe it that the body of the long dead hero hss been sent hither, and that to commemorate the reception of the il lustrious dead a squad of French war ships has come to our shores. The annals of the French navy are filled with the names of brave and able seamen, each of - whom counted death as a mistress when the honor of his flag' was at stake; and among the figures of these brave men there loom the larger shapes of those who, like Tourvillc. ' Duquesne and the Balli de Suffren, won renown as fleet admirals inferior- to none of any navy of their day in material powers. In addition to welcoming the diplo matic and official representatives of France here present, let me also ex press my heartiest acknowledgements to our former ambassador to Paris, Gen eral Horace Porter, to whose zealous devotion we practically owe it that the body of Paul Jones has been brought to our shores. Brilliant Record. "The history of our navy like the his tory of our nation, only extends over a period of a century and a quarter, yet we already have many memories of pride to thrill us as we read and bear of what has been done by our fight ins men of the sea, from Perry and Macdonough to Farragut and Dewey. These memories include brilliant vic tories, and also, now ond then, defeats only less honorable than the victories themselves but , the only defeats to which this praise can be given are those where, against heavy odds, men have stood to death in hopeless battle. It is well for every American officecr to remember that while a surrender . may or may not be defensible, the man who MANY SMALL TOWNS NEAR BAY CITY SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-A rep resentative of the Associated Press made a tour of the county and reports sev ere damage in many places, but no death by the earthquake. Redwood City is the most damaged, but people are " send ing assistance from San Francisco. San Carlos and Belmont are but slightly SAND AT MAKES GREAT SPEECH refuses to surrender need dever make a defense. The one fact must always be explained; the other needs no expla nation. Moreover, he, would not wia glory and honor for his nation and for himself, mcst not too dosely count the odds; if he. does, he will never see such a day as when Cushing tank the Al bemarle. Fight To the Last "In his fight with the Serapis, Jones ship was so badly mauled that his op ponent bailed him, saying "Haa your ship struck!" To which Jones answerd ed. "I have not yet b?gun to fight." The spirit which inspired that answer upbore the man who gave it and the crew who served under him through the fury of the battle .which finally ended in their triumph. It was the same spirit which marked the commanders of the Cumberland and the congress when they met an equally glorious though less fortunate fa,te. "We have met today to do honor to the mighty dead. Remember that our words of admiration are but as sound ing brass and tinkling cymbals i( we do not by steady preparation and, by the cultivation of soul and mind and body fit ourselves so that in time of need we shall be prepared to emulate their deeds. Let every midshipman who passes through this institution remem ber, as he looks upon the tomb of John Paul Jones, that while no courage can atone for the lack of that efficiency which comes only through careful pre paijatjion) in advance through careful training of the men and careful fit ting out of the engines of war, yet that none of these things can avail unless in the moment of crisis the heart rises level with the crisis. The navy whose captains will not surrender are sure in the long run to whip the navy whose captains will surrender unless the in equality of skill or force is prodigious. The courage which never yields can not take the place of possession of good ships and good weapons and the ability skillfully to use these ships and these weapons but itsl presence, will often atone for many other shortcom ings, and if with it are combined the other military qualities, the fortunate owner becomes literally invincible."
