 pressed himself as much pleased with 

 what he had seen, expressed no fear

 on its own resources in cutting off im- 

 ports, it was stimulating us to greater 

 activity. He paid a handsome compli- 

 ment to the supply department of 

 Poehlmann Bros., which he declared to 

 be the finest one he had seen.
