Cape Horn, through Magellan stra|t and up the Pa ciflc coast, these ships of war will plow their way through nearly 14,000 nau tical knots of brine. From mid-Decem ber until mid-April the whole world will watch the progress of the sixteen mighty American battleships and their attendant lesser war vessels. Every nation on the map of the globe will talvB a keen of3cial interest iu tha nev/s of the cruise. Intelligent citizens In every cRme will follovv the,dispatches chronicling the onward career of the splendid squadrons. It is an impor tant piece of world news. In the United States naturally the cruise of this great fleet from the At lantic to the Pacific will be of the high est interest to the average person. For Sam’s are close to the mark. The United States has two long coast lines to defend, separated by 3,000 miles of land. Until the acquisition of Hawaii, Guam and the Philippines our Pacific coast was relatively unimportant in a naval sense. United States ownership of those islands increased the impor tance of Pacific coast naval patrol. Japan’s growing military and naval prowess further enhanced this impor- six mouths we have been talking aoout this proposed movement of warships. For six months Uncle Sam has been making pi-t*parations for the voya^-ve. Some citizens have acquiesced v.llh en thusiasm in the plans of the navy de partment. Others have objected to the cruise on various grounds Some have looked upout it as a valuable “demon- stratiG'u” in view of possible Japanese iiostilities. Others have commended the plan merely as a matter of ^xer- cisiug our ships and seamen, just to show what they can do when they try. Still others have hinted that it is no- bod.v’s business outside of America what we do with our own naval equip ment so long as we keep the peace. Opponents of the cruise have held that It is a needless waste of money, while a few of them seem to regard the movement as something akin to the shaking of a red rag in the face of a bull. * Very probably those who hold that it is uobody’s business but Uncle PACIFIC OC£AN STttAiTor MABCllAH BOUTE OF THE FLEET iLND DISTANC^ tance. We have no desire to fight England or France, yet we keep the Atlantic coast constantly guarded In powerful fleets. The j movement of a great fleet to Pacific waters is but a natural consequence of changed condi tions. Secretary of the'Navy Metcalf remarked some months ago when this movement was - under consid.eration that it had “practically no significance from a militai’y standpoint.” At that time there was some little friction with Japan on account of incidents in San Francisco. That matter was settled amicably, and now the big fleet goes forward with-such significance as in dustrial and comnjercial conditions may give it. Under the command of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans this grandest assem bly of American ships that ever plovv ed the seas is going around the tip end of South America and up through the blue brine of the Pacific to resusci tated and rejuvenated San Francisco The sixteen battleships which, with the necessary colliers, supply ships, re- pair shi[>3 and other anxi iaries to an extended cruise, constitute this fleet are as follows: Tonna^rs.

The naval authorities figure that lir» days will elapse between the time of starting and the time of arrival at doH- tination, but that only sixty-three days I will be devoted to actual sailing ‘ The rest of the time will' be speut in port en route and at target practice. It is the iutentioa of the navy department ^ to give the crews much practice at ^e iVoig and little guns under the best con ditions possible. There will be five stops on tlie long trip, where the ships wifi anchor and many meml:)ers of the crews will enjoy shore leave. From Hampton Roads to Trinidad.^ the first port wher^ the fleet will pause, the distance is 1,780 knots. The sailoi*s will spend Christmas-at Trinidad, leav ing there about three days afterward tor Rio de Janeiro, 2,000 knots dis tant. About Jan. 10 the ships will an chor in the harbor of the Brazilian me tropolis, remaining ..-a week Punta Arenas, in the strait of Magellan, is 2,230 knots farther along. The fleet will spend the closing week of January in that port. Callao, the next stopping point. Is 2,850 knots away According to tho schedule mapped out the fleet should reach Callao on Feb. 13. Six days’ respite from cruising will be had In that harbor; then comes a stretch of 3,012 knots to Magdalena bay. on the we?«t coast of Lower California, wiSicb is a peninsula belonging to the republic of Mexico. At Magdalena bay a con siderable period will be spent in gun practice. The Mexican government has granted the United States the priv ilege of using this fine bay, an ocean Inlet forty miles long and protected with reefff7)f sands, so that tlie water is always placid, as a coaling and prac tice station for a period of three years From Magdalena bay to San Francis co b^y, where the ships will drop an chor at the end of their ' voyage, the distance is about 1,000 knots It is be lieved that, barring accidents and oth er untoward circumstances, the Bhii)s wiJI ride triumphantly thr^mcr'.r; r l:‘‘ Golden Gate and anchor In the bay on April 10. While the disposition of the fleet aft er arrival iu San Francisco bay is not definitely indicated, it is safe to as sume that the big ijattleships will do more or less cruising up and down the Pacific coast It is quite probable that considerable time will be spent in the Puget sound harbors, such as those at Seattle and Tacoma. It may be that a cruise to Honolulu will be included. Didn't Like Her Cooking.

Thomas Nelson Page, while riding down a country road, met an old negro leading a horse and laughing as only a negro can. “Sam,” said Mr. Page, “what’s the joke?” “Oh! Mawnin’ marster. I jes’ won a b^offen his hyear fool hoss.” “A^y, Sam,” said Mr. Page, “how did you do that?” “Well,^ you see, boss, I was a-Ieaciin’ dis h;rear hoss back yonder an’ I seen a i-'iece of paper ahead of us, an’ 1 said. ‘I'iacliy, I bet you a quarter yon gwine tei‘ be afraid of it.’ But Blacky shook his haid—he wouldn't.
