France Sees Insurmountable Difficulties
in Fleets Way.

PARIS. Dec. 16.-French naval officers
are intensely interested in the cruise of
the American battleshlp squadron TO the
Pacific. As a professional feat they re-
gard it to be surrounded by almost in
surmountable difficulties. Captain Faber,
of the general staff. speaking today, said;
''The financial resources of America make
the problem of coaling the fleet compare
lively easy, but there are three great diff
ficulties; first. to keep so many units to-
gether; second, to provision and repair
The ships in the event of an accident, and
third, the navigation of the Straits Of
Magellan by such an armada
eff the cruise is successfully accom-
plished and if at its end, as the program
contemplates, the vessels are able to en-
gage in target practise. thus demonstrate
ing their readiness to meet a hostile fleet,
the whole naval world will AXE off its
hat in admiration. This will be a demon
~stration Of the. efficiency OF the crews and
the ships Of the American navy, which will
make even the English navy look to its
laurels'

London Papers Comment Favorably on
Pacific Cruise.

LONDON. Dee. 16.-There is no change
rotieesble in the view taken by the morn

which, they declare, cannot be regarded as
a menace to Japan, while they insist upon

Th Daily Mail editorially describes the
cruise as a movement the full significance
Of which will only be understood by pos

The Daily Telegram admits that nobody
can forcsee the date or the circumstances
Of the fleets return. 1t says that some
weak points naturally will be disclosed,
but that it will be a surprise If the Amer

standard OF efficiency. The policy that
has dictated the cruise says the paper,
