an important incident in naval history.
Admiral Evans has seen much sea
service, his experience In handling
large fleets making him available for
commander Of this expedition. In spite
of his sixty-one years he is still a
vigorous, active man. The policy Of
the president and the navy department
in preferring younger men for the main
commands has not eliminated Flight
ing Bob" who ia said to possess the
spirit Of a young man Of forty.
In Admiral Evans feet are several
subordinate commanders who ave
made distinguished records-men Of In
teresting personality aside. from their
performances. Rear Admiral William
II. Emory. commander Of the division
Of the feet which includes the great
battieships Georgia. Virginia, New Jer-
sey and Rhode Island. with the Geor-
gia as his flagship. is distinguished in
the navy for his bravery. his diploma

six months we have been talking about
this proposed movement Of warships.
For six months Uncle Sam has been
making preparations for the voyage.
Some citizens have acquiesced with en-
thusiasm in the plans of the navy de-
partment. Others have objected to the
cruise on various grounds. Some have
looked upon it as valuable demon
stration" in view Of possible Japanese
hostilities. Others have commended
the plan merely as matter Of exer-
cising our ships and seamen, just to
show what they can do when they try.
Still others have limited that it Is no
body's business outside of America
what we do with our own naval equip
ment so long as we keep the peace.
Opponents Of the cruise have held that
1t Is a needless waste Of money, while
few of them seem to regard the
movement as something akin to the
shaking Of red rag in the face Of a
bull.

their way through nearly $4,000 nau-
teal knots Of brine. From mid-Decem-
Der until mid-April the whole world
will watch the progress Of the sixteen
mighty American battieships and their
attendant lesser war vessels. Every
nation on the map Of the globe will
take keen official interest in the news
OF the cruise. Intelligent citizens in
every cline will follow the dispatches
chronicling the onward career of the
splendid squadrons. It Is an impor-

Rear Admiral Charles NJ. Thomas,

battleships Ohio. Maine and Missouri,
entered the Naval academy only two
months later than Robl,y D. Evans.
Admiral Thomas has had very large

instructor in ordnance and was In
charge Of the infantry battalion Of
cadets at the Naval academy.

Of the navy in presenting Wainwright
a sword from the people Of his native
section said: There Is roll Of honor,
Commander Wainwright, which Is
known As that Of the bravest Of the
brave. On that imperishable roll your
name has been written by your coun-
trymen."
The commander Of the battleship Viz
ginia. Captain Seaton Schroeder, has
distinguished himself not only as a
naval officer in sea service, but in civil
life as governor of the island Of Guam
for two and half years. Governor
Schroeder established a school system
on the island and In other ways helped
to AmericaniZe Guam. He Is also an
author. having written work en-

to reach San Francisco bay. This is
equivalent to more than $4,000 miles.
The naval authorities figure that 115
days will elapse between the time of
starting and the time Of arrival ut des-
tination, but that only sixty-three days
will be devoted to actual sailing. The
rest Of the time will be spent In port
en- route and ut target practice. 1t is
the intention Of the navy department
to give the crews much practice at the
big and little guns under the best con-
ditions possible. There will be five
stops on tho long trip, where the ships
will anchor and many members Of the
crews will enjoy shore leave.

2,23O knots farther along. The fleet
will spend the closing week Of January
in that port. Callao, the next stopping
point. Is 1850 knots away. According
to the schedule mapped out the fleet
should reach Callao on Feb. 10. Six
days respite from cruising will be had
in that harbor; then comes stretch Of
3,012 knots to Magdalena bay, on the
west coast Of Lower California, which
Is peninsula belonging to the republic
Of Mexico. At Magdalena bay con-
siderable period will be spent in gun

has granted the United States the priv

distance Is about 1000 knots. It is be-

April 10.
While the disposition of the feet aft

Cuneiform Writing.

On the old Babylonian and Per-
sian monuments there were wedge
shaped characters, or arrow headed
or nail headed characters, as they
were sometimes called, which con.
stituted what was known as cunei-
form writing. After the reign of
Alexander the Great this writing
became obsolete. The Persian Gu
neiform writing contains sixty let
ters and the Assyrian 600 to 700
characters, partly alphabetic. The
most celebrated inscription in cunei-
form writing is that in the ancient
city of Behistun, Persia, cut on the
face of a rock 1,700 feet high and
recording part of the history OF
