Rather let me say to you that I have | endeavored to do my duty as fully as| God has given me power to do. “So you shall not find me wearing my grievances, If I have any, upon my fleeve, TYoushall not be asked for| sympathy, and I pray you do not give it. for I do not need it. You shall not be bored now or hereafter, col- lectively or individually, with the re- 4 A duty that rests upon-the secretary of the navy, Mr. Denby said, 1s to see that provision is made that the outer | walls of defense, “the walls of steel | ggainst attack at any time, from any | quarter,” may hold “That needs thinking ahead,. and | providing: for the needs of the fleet,” | he continued. “In tryving to do that! I have been overthrown “But'I rejoice in the beliet that the | work is-done. Fuel oil will be found | in Hawaii for the onrushing flest if it | ever is needed.. And along the coasts, edst- and west, of our country, great Teservoirs will be found when and ft the need ever comes, They will be | created by exchange or sale or storage | of the underground deposit which, had it not been brought to the Tr- face, would have been lost to the navy | forever ! | “I believe that what I did was just and lawful and sound, and for 'ha) best interests of the United States.

And from her, too, | there will be no mourning or com. | plaining of an unjust world | Speaking of messages of confidence | showered on him from Michigan and | other states bafore he resigned, Mr Denby satd; “Believe it-or not as you will, yeu bave made me a better man. You have strengthened my love for my fellow man. You have preved that the world is good, that the eternal verities still govern the affairs of men, From-a heavy heart laden with the Joy of this home coming, I thank you and pledge you that you will not re. gret your faith.,” A long-handled cornpopper may be used as a toaster in the furnace when NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY; MARCH 14, 1924.
