VIEW OF FENIMORE COOPER Novelist Believed the Great Sea-Fight- or Was Spurned by Love of Bat- tle and by Ambition for Distinction. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—In a few days there will be dedicated in this capital city & monument to the memory of John Paul Jones, sea fighter. Recently in these articles something has been told of the trouble over the matter of se- curing a proper inscription for the base of the statue. It was also told how John Paul Jones’ body is wait- ing final interment in a crypt in the Anngpolis naval academy chapel. The president of the United States will delived an address when the monu- ment of Jones is unveiled in Potomas Park, and thousands of sailors and soldiers will be present when the com- mander-in-chief of the army and navy speaks his words of praise of him whom some historians call “the great- est sea fighter of them all.” Some day it may be known definite- ly whether America’s first admiral fought for the infant republic from motives of pure patriotism or from the He fought with nothing less than desperate courage for the cause which he had espoused, but there are those things in John Paul Jones’ life which make it seem that he may have fought because of sheer love for fighting and because the immediate need of the struggling colonies gave opportunity for the ac- quiring of that need of individual glory which some men claim the soul of John Paul Jones craved. He did his work well; there was no turning back; there was no let-up in endeavor. No man whose birthplace was America and whose heart’s love was fixed on the country of his hearth. stone fought apparently more soulful 1y for the cause of the struggling col- onies than did John Paul Jones, the alien. For what he did his name will be held in admiration in the centuries to come as it has been held in the century that has passed. It may be that when more is known about this man of mystery the people will re- vere his memory as they do that of the known patriots of the revolution. Cooper’s View of His Motives. James Fenimore Cooper served in the United States navy. In common with his fellow sailors of the old oaks en frigates he held in first place of honor the alien admiral who com- manded the first vessel flying the American flag which compelled a ship of the supposedly invincible British navy to strike colors. Yet James Fen- imore Cooper in that greatest of sea tales, “The Pilat,” points John Paul Jones as a hero rather than as a pa- triot. At the close of the story Coop- er puts into the mouth of one of his chief characters, a naval officer, thése words touching the life and motives of John Paul Jones: “His devotion to America proceed- ed from a desire for distinction, his ruling passion. His love for liberty may be the most questionable, for if he commenced his deeds in tkLe cause of these [ree states, they terminated i in the services of a despot. “He is now dead, but had he lived in times and under circumstances when his consummate knowledge of his profession, his cool, deliberate and even desperate courag. could have been exercised in a regular and well supported navy, and had the habits of his youth better qualified him to have | borne meekly the honors he acquired { in his age, he would have left behind him no name in its lists that would have descended to the latest posterity of his adopted countrymen with great- er renown.” It may be, however, that the Amer- ican who reveres John Paul Jones for the blows that he struck for lib- erty would prefer to take as the es- sence of truth the words which Coop- er put into the mouth of the sailor. In the story “The Pilot,” John Paul Jones stands on English soil and has met Alice Dunscombe. She upbraids him for being disloyal to his king. “The Pilot” answers: “A man with a soul not to be. lim: ited by the arbitrary boundaries of tyrants and hirelings, but one whé has the right as well as the inclination to grapple with oppression, in whose name soever it is exercised or in whatever hollow and specious shape it founds its claim to abuse our race.* Little Known of His Life. It is evident that Cooper's judgment repudiated the words of his hero, for the passages quoted first almost un- questionably express the judgment of the American novelist on the motives and character of the first great Amer- ican admiral. One of the latest and possibly the best of the biographers of John Paul Jones says that his life was written in three languages—English, French and Russian—and that though this life was “for more than 100 years the theme of many busy pens, the half of it has not yet been todd.” “The half of it has not yet been told,” because the half of it is not known. The papers of John Paul Jones were scattered to the four winds. Some of them have been found, and from them a disconneeted &ccount of his life and of the motives which actuated him has been con atructed. .
