NORTF Fair Ti ALL (Coprrtcbt.) GREATEST SHIPS IS N?? York, Oct. IB.?Never before i has ucb an armada been brought t together for review in American wa. < ters as that represented by the 15- 1 mile-long string of war vessels that < filed past President Taft and Secretary of the Navy Meyer on this, the < crowning day of the great moblllsa- < tlon of the Atlantic fleet. The aggre gate tonnage of the craft exceeded i 700,000 aa compared with 676.634 toaa represented In the naval mobilisation here last year. Dressed from stem to stern in a riot Of bunting, the gray lines of the warships, with a background formed by the high shores of Manhattan on . one aide, and the. Now Jersey Pali- I sates on the other, made a magnificent spectacle. Scores of thousands i of spectators viewed the scene from ! both shores and from the docks of be- < flagged excursion craft that swsrm- i <d as close to the ships as the police boats would permit. The excursion craft gave the patrol boats plenty of work. They added many touches of color to the ecene, however, and afforded thousands of people an opportunity far a close view of the great naval spectacle. It was nearly noon when the little white Mayflower, with the Preeident's blue.crested flag at the maintruck, took up her position in the upper bay close by tbe Statue of Liberty. Aboard the yaaht were President Taft and his family. Secretary of the Navy Meyer and a large party of inylted guests, the latter Including senators, representatives and foreign military and naval attaches from Washington. Another official party was aboard the dispatch boat Dolphin, which took up a position near the Mayflower. Several hours wore consumed in the exchange of official visits and in the final arrangements for the great parade of the gray armada that for nearly a week had swung at anchor in the Hudson. Finally the booming of a gun announced to the thousands of waiting spectators that tkr great naval spe**>cle was about to login, i The battleship Connecticut, flagship1 of Rear-Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, commander-in-chief of the fleet, led the line down the river and out into the harbor Following the Connecticut came the latest and greatest bat-| tleships of the United Staes Navy, the now superdreadnoughts Arkansas and Wyoming.

T Aa the ahlpa filed past he Mayflow- h er they kept up a constant roar of salutes. The bugles sounded "four ruf- .. fles," tbe signal for the bluejackets | to man tbe raila, while the quarterdecks were black with officers and murine guards. Red_coated bands on the five flagships of the fleet played the National Anthem, while "bo'suns* whistles" piped out tbe order of the w day. 8 After passing in review of the li President at 12 knots an hour and N reaching for the open sea, the fleet b was to be disbanded, some of the e ships returning to Southern waters, while others are to depart for their tl several home stations to prepare for * the winter maneuvers in the South. J The fleet reviewed by the President r was not only the most powerful ever ti gathered in one American command, K but was also equally remarkable as a d homogeneous fighting force. In comparison with the similar event of last t | year today's mobilization demonstrat- e ed, to all appearances, a considerabi; greater readiness of vessels in the > lantic than at any previous time, and indicated the manner in which vessels of the reserve fleet might be called into active service in case of need. Naval officials express the belief that 1 the great gathering of war craft will ?| prove a very valuable form of training to all branches of the navy In coordinating the many details of preparation for the mobilisation of such an impressive force. The patrons of this paper should go7ern themselves accorrttn&ly ted take advantage of this great opportunity. MKAT PACKTKH IN 8K8SION. Chicago, m..
