Atlantic Coast Unprotected.

After their long cruise the Ameri- can battleships cannot be in first t-class fighting shape, and in the game of naval diplomacy Japan will have de- cided advantage. Our Atlantic coast wiA be left unguarded except by land defenses, and many observers believe the Japanese could play havoc along the coast before Admiral Evans and his fleet of weary battleships could get back from the Pacific. Some go so far as to say that it Is within the range of possibility that the returning Ameri- can fleet might find itself barred from the port of New York by Japanese fleet, with the shore batteries manned by the Japanese; but naval officers laugh at such wild cOnjectures.
 The situation has become sufficient ly evident, through the information as to what disposal Japan is to make of her naval force pending Admiral Evans Pacific cruise. to guarantee Ja- pan against any hostile intent the part of the United States. The game is so simple for Japan that 1t hardly reach les the dignity of chess but Is about in the checkers class. By mere- ly stationing her fleet farther south than heretofore for practice cruising she blocks the game and commands the entire situation.

Jacan's Policy of Silence.


 Perhap ps if Japan contemplated an im- mediate war with the American govern meEt there would be nothing more graft fyi1g to her than having the battleshps of the Atlantic transferred to San Fran cisco. A study of positions and distances on the navigation charts disclose that with our war vessels at their proposed Pacific destination, Japanese fleet of even moderate strength cruising about the China sea commanding the Straits of Malacca or Sunda and approaches to the entrance of the Suez canal, would bo within striking distance of our Atlantic coast
 The Japanese fleet will have it's prac- tice cruise about 3000 miles nearer New will be when 1t reaches San Francisco. If our fleet should have to retract it's course by way of the Straits of Magellan. Our fleet would have a 4000-mile steam chase if it tried to follow in q race for New York a Japanse fleet which had come through the Suck canal
 The strength of the Japanese fleet that will cruise in the China sea while our fleet is in the Pacific has not been an nounced Japan is able to maintain pro- found secrecy as to the strength and movement of her fleets when secrecy is deemed desirable. The fleet is, however, expected to be powerful enough to be ef- fective without depicting her home de- fancas

Washington, September 6. - Protests more vigorous than any yet presented against sending the battleshp fleet to the Pacific are likely to come from many quarters when the people realize the un- guarded condition in which it will leave the Atlantic coast
 Naval strategists are beginning to take notice of Japans movements. It did not take long for Japanese naval officials to discover that they could have no possible objection to the transfer of the Aemrican battleships to the Pacific, and it has probably required an effort for them to hide their secret satisfaction. h. formation that q Japanese fleet is to have its practice cruise" in and about the China sea, with Hong Hong as the home port" discloses an alertness and skill in strategy on the part of the Japanese which may mako our navy department revise it's opinion of the wisdom of the lnat
