I therefore ask you to convey to the people the sincere thanks and hearty appreciation of the officers and men of the fleet for the great interest which the country at large is taking in our movement We feel the responsibility which the people have laid us by their interest In years in creating and maintaining this splendid fleet, and in the continuation of that Interest which now fits ud out complete in every particular and sends us out on this great practice crulse to visit friends and supperters on Pacific coast of our country. I am sure that every officer and man fn the fleet feel it not only a duty but a pleasure to repay the people for their interest by absolute fidelity to the trust imposed upon him, in small things as well as in large I hope that when we arrive at our destination the people will have for us a welcome as warm as the "Godspeed" which the: ive us on our departure and that should our commanderin-chief then decide to send us on a mission of peace and good will to the nations of the other hemisphere, that the same warm + interest will follow us there as it has always and every where in the past (Signed) ~.D.

Down in St. Louls she met Richard Henness, who courted and married her before the date when she was due to return to Minneapolis. The was replete with incidents., To begin with the relatives of the girl had objected to her Minneapolis allfance because the man was not of the faith the Goodman family professes.

Long before Frederick Walker was called to the witness stand to tell his self-sacrificing story, it appeared, all the emotion of his nature had been crushed out. He appeared on the stand today like a man from whose eyes every tear had been drawn long before Dr. Beers fell at the avenging hands of Walker.
