! Mrs. Ella Damn Moore. a Washington
woman who has gained a conspL Lcuous
place in the Geld Of literature. Several

Order of Leaving.

After the review has been made by the
President and the Secretary Of the Navy
and the boom Of the Presidential salute
has died away. at the command flashed
from Admiral Evans flagship. the Con-
necticut. the sixteen ships viii move.
taking the following order in the wake
OF the Connecticut:
The Kansas. Capt. Charles r. Vree-
land. the Vermont. Capt. W. H 2. Pot

To the landSman who can do little
more than count the ships. as they
move majcstic3lly by-a three-mile line
of floating steel fortresses wreathed In
smoke AMI irregular with the project
ms muzzles Of huge Euns-it is difficult
20 grasp the significance OF tris second
and most important phase OF this most
extraordinary project in the history Of
the American navy-tne cruise itself.
Will Be Drill for Captains.
It does mean merely a long voyage
for sixteen ships with their Golfers and
supply boats hocking together in gen.
! eral fashion. IN this huge feet unit
battleship IS but a subordinate part
and each will remain so until they dror
anchor in MaEdalena Bay on the other
side Of the continent. Admiral Evans
who will order this fleet unit about as
he pleBses in semblanCe Of battle. has
a habit OF flying unexpected signals
and II these are not promptly followed
out, disaster may follow.
During every moment OF this cruise
officers and men must be on the alert.
II Is no trifiing matter to sail l6.0O0-tOn

But the long days Of watching and
