tle will there be another such home
coming another such sight as this
1 drink to the American Navy This
was the toast of President Roosevelt I
in
today as he stood radiantly happy I
the cabbin of the graceful little cruis
er yacht Mayflower at the conclusion
of the review and ceremonies attend
ing the welcome home of the Ameri
can battleship fleet He was sur
rounded by the admirals and captains
of the worldencircling vessels bril
liantly attired in all the gold lace and
paraphernalia of special full dress
in
uniforms and every flask was raised
response to the presidents suggestion
We who stay at home also drink
to the men who made us prouder V n
ever of our country added the pres
ident and again the toast was pledged
REPLY BY SPERRY
When the fleet sailed from San
Francisco Mr President replied
Rear Admiral Chas S Sperry you

or and that we have today fulfilled

HOME COMING SALlTES
While the leading ships were still
a mile of more distant from the May
flower the puff of white smoke from
the forward bridge of the Connecticut
followed by a muffled boom as the
sound waves followed more slowly the
dancing waves of light served as a
signal to all the fleet thanthe flagship
had made out the presidents flag
on the Mayflower It was also the
signal of home at last and made
the hearts of 14000 men and 600 offic
ers beat quicker in realization that the
day looked forward to through all the I
days of lavish hospitality abroad had I
at last arrived
That first gun of the Connecticuts
national salute to the president found
every ship in line with saluting can
non ready and the second powder puff
from the flagship was not sounded
when the guns of all other ships be
gan to speak in unison in the honor
due the chief executive The presi
dent made his way to the bridge of
the Mayflower while the saluting was
like that
in progrss The scene was
a the departure of the fleet one which
the president probably never will for
get NERVES TINGLE WITH PRIDE
It set the nerves tingling with pa
triotic pride for there is no more in
spiring sight than a long column ot
Roll drilled fighting ships On either
side of the incoming armada gathered
scores of excursion steamers which
grew constantly thicker as the war
I ships anchorage ploughed their way to the home
The Auburn Ala Cadet band was
the first musical organization in the
parade the selections rendered receiv
ing much applause
Mayor Goodman members of the
city council and other city officials
occupied automobiles the big ma
chines making a splendid showing
The autos were among the finest in
the city
MOUNTED ON HORSE
King Priscus was mounted on a
spirited charger accompanied by two
knights his majestys horsemanship
surpassing that of amy of the other
mounted personages In the parade
The merry monarch was greeted
with continuous cfceeriftg along the
entire route fete entry into the city
being announced by one of the bar
tiest welcomes ever accorded a carni
val king
