that all work which may in any way

This is another decisive step toward
guarding against any possible delay.
The problem of getting the fleet in
readiness is twofold All work must

battleships must start for the Pacific

steaming to meet an enemy. Under
no conditions is the date of departure

ships after leaving the navy yards
must take on provisions and coal. and
the time between December and
December 10 is so short that in order
to sail on the latter date all repairs
must be completed by December 1.
Since the return of Secretary Met
calf from California he has recognized
that there might be some difficulty III
getting the fleet started. as some OF
the battleships needed considerable re-
pairs before starting on the long
cruise. The Navy Department then
