Show The Olympia was up to its old tricks last Monday. Mon-day. It dashed into a Massachusetts harbor, and cut (figuratively) the cable to Martha's Vineyard and Elizabeth island, all the same as at Manila bay. And the resistance to her performance was as impotent as it was at Manila, and there wero no mpre lives lost on the ship than at Manila. History will repeat itself. But her present commander com-mander will fall short on the promotion and glory that came to her old one. He took a signal station, sta-tion, but by the act he did not give the world notice no-tice that a new -sea and land power had arisen which made the Almightiness of Old Rome in her days of greatest power seem almighty small by comparison. |
