Gives Reasons for Despatch
OF Fhet 20 the Pacific
; rYntll our batile feet Is much large
than ~ present ii SHOULD never be spill
Unto attachments SO far apart that the.
J | could NOT IN event ~ emergency be speed
nv united Our coast line Is on the Pa
ciac lust as much as on the Atlantic The
interests OF California, Oregon and Wash
ington are as enlphaticaly the interests
a of the whole Union as those OF Maine
and New York Of Louisiana and Texas
The battle fleet should now and then 81
moved 10 tho Pacific Just ms at other
times II should be kept IN the Atlantic
When the Isthmian Canal is butt the
transit OF the battle feet from one ocean
Ia the other will be comparatively easy
4 Until II is built earnestly hope that the
! battle fleet will be thus shifted between
the two oceans every year or two. The
I rnarksnianship on all our ships has i'm
4 moved phenomenaly during the last five
1 years L'ntfl within the last two or three
/ Years II was not possible to train a battle
! feet in squadron maneuvers under service
conditions and IL is only during these last
! two or three years that the training un-
4 der these conditions has become really
Z effective Another and most necessary
4 stride in advance is now being taken The
4 battle fleet is about starting ny the STRAITS
~ Magellan to visit the Pacific coast Six
teen bnttleships are going undor the COM
mand Of Rear Admiral Evans while eight
arn1ored cruisers and two other battle
ships viii meet him at San Francisco,
whittier certain torpedo destroyers are
also going No fleet Of such size has ever
made such d voyage, and II VIII be OF
very great educational use to all engaged
in IT, The only way by which TO teach
officers and men how to handle the feet
so as to meet every possible strain and
emergency in time of war is To have
tbam practice under similar conditions IN
time of peace. Moreover, the only way
TO find out our actual needs is to per-
form IN time Of peace whatever maneuv-
ers might be necessary in time OF war
After war Is declared IL is too late TO find
out the needs: that means 10 invite dis
aster. The trip to the Pacific will show
what some Of our needs are and viii en-
stbla Us 10 provide for them. The proper
place for an officer to learn his duty Is at
sen. and the only way in which a navy
can ever be made efficient is by practice
AZ sea under all the conditions which
would have to be met I war existed
hespeak the most liberal treatment
far the officers and enlisted men Of the
Navy. II is true of them, as likewise 0f
inc officers and enlisted men OF the army.
