FRANCE IMPRESSED
Forced to Believe Now That American
Navy Will in All Probability Dem :
.onstrate That 1t Has No Superiors
in the World.

IN the Wortu.
cision to send the American battleship
fleet back to the Atlantic coast by way
of Australia and the Suez canal is re-
ceived here as the crowning revelation
of the efficiency of the American navy.
The statement that the cruise is to be
extended in this manner has opened
the eyes of the French public, which
had been led to believe that the Amer
lean navy was good deal of bluff
that the cruise around South America
would demonstrate the incapacity of
the vessels, and that If it was accom-
plished the ships would be ready for
the scrap heap. Even in French naval
circles the belief was that a long voy-
age would develop structural weakness
in the vessels. Many French officers
now frankly say that the impressive
demonstration given by the American
fleet Of it's ability to keep at sea, raises
the American navy to an equality with
that of Great Britain, and that If the
return Journey is as successful as the
trip around South America has been,
the American navy will have demon
strated that it has no superiors in the
world.
French Minister Of the Marine M.
Thomson is so impressed with the re-
suit of this cruise that he is instruct
ing Lieutenant Commander De Blan-
pre-, the French naval attache at
Washington, to proceed to San Fran
cisco and send in a full report Of the
condition of the ships and lessons Of
the cruise

notice some significant things. You
can travel anywhere and not see any
body talking politics. Usually at this
time of presidential year everybody
is talking it. / believe the explana-
ton lies in the deep-seated conviction
that it is going to be Roosevelt at the
convention and at the polls. The peo-
pie want him. From Maine to Cali
fornia and from New Orleans to Du-
luth, you will find so per cent of them
for him and expecting somehow to
get him. Well, think that sentiment
is beginning now to crystalize into
form that will be felt in the conven-
ton. The feeling in the public was
better expressed to me by young
philanthropic worker who told me he
had never known anybody to go to
the president in behalf Of good
cause, that he did not find an enthus-
iastic, sympathetic and welcome re-
ception awaiting him. The people
know that and they are so thoroughly
committed to Roosevelt that they SIM
ply decline to take seriously the pos
sibility of his not being president and
] expect them to have their way. To
say that nearly everybody is for the
president is no derogatien OF any
body else; it is simply that, With kind
