won't All Come Back.

New York Post.
 Dispatches from the fleet on the Pa cihc Coast report feeling among the officers that all the battle ships will not. in the end, be brought back to the Atlantic. It is expected that the sailing for Honolulu. Japan, and the Philippines will be made according to scheduIe but after that 1t may be that there will be a change in the published plans. To leave enough ships in the Pacific for defensive pur- poses, could not be constructed as threat to Japan or any other country. It would be simply a measure of pre- caution. and would tend to allay both the appreh ensions of the people on the Coast and the clamor for an im- mediate doubling of the navy. If all of the battle ships were kept in Pacl- fic waters it might be alleged that ag- gression was clearly intended: but re- taining only enough for reasonable protection and possible defense would be in the interest of international peace and domestic quite. We think that some such distribution of the fleet ought carefully to be considered by the naval authoritAT
