Port OF Spain Is preparing to welcome
the American feet OF battleships with
hospitality and good fellowship. Day
light Tuesday showed the warships
anchored in four column formations
about four miles from the wharf. The
people crowded the water front to
view the imposing array Of white ships
OF war, entertainment committees com
pieted their final arrangements and
the town rapidly took on Its best holi'
day attire.
Numberless launches, row boats,
small yachts and barber craft OF all
sorts began putting out at an early
hour to take sightseers over to the
American vessels. They clustered and
cruised about between the anchored
warships, glistening In the sunlight OF
a warm, perfect day. while the crowd
voiced its admiration.
Arrangements are being made to
send into town a large number OF men
who have been given shore leave.
Rear Admiral Evans called on the
governor of Trinidad. Sir Henry

party OF officers from the feet came
