REAR ADMIRAL CHARLES S. sPERRY.

he drove his sixteen ocean giants 1850
miles without coaling, a cruise without
parallel in naval history. Though
pounded by heavy seas on the long
run, the vessels came through in per-
feet trim and were a day or two ahead
of their schedule. More marvellous still,
by comparative system the amount
of coal burned had been decreased AL
this spells efficiency, which is only sec
ond to good shooting in making an in
vincible navy.
Sperry is not picturesque, but he has
common sense He is phlegmatic, but
is business all through. He has never
had a fighting part except for a little
while in the Philippines, but he knows
naval science from the ground up. Sew
eral times he has been assigned to
teach higher mathematics at the Annap-
oils Naval academy. For three years
he was president of the war college at
Newport, an exceedingly important
place. During the Spanish war he was
not in the imelight, but was holding
the responsible and arduous position of
equipment officer at the Brooklyn navy
yard, where he had to look after the
fitting out of vessels. From all this it
will be seen that Admiral sperry's role
has been in working parts, not on dress
parade.
A naval commander is supposed to
know pretty much everything and to
know most of it well He has to be
diplomat, q society man. a warrior, an
executive, a sailor, business man,
scholar, a speaker, just a little bit of
a politician and general all around
good fellow incidentally he must
command the respect of men, maintain
strict discipline, yet keep those under
him in good heart and train them to
the highest point Of efficiency in ali
lines. All of this does not sound easy,
and it is not one-half so easy as it
sounds

Mt takes a big man to succeed
Fighting Bob Evans. It also
takes a big man to command a
feet of sixteen battleships in a
cruise around the world, a feat never
attempted by any nation until now. By
both tokens Rear Admiral Charles S.
Sperry should be big man. II he is
not, the naval authorities who have
watched him for forty years do not
know what they are about. But recent
history shows that the naval authori-
ties do know what they are about. Let
any one who doubts it ask Spain.
Therefore Rear Admiral Charles S.
Sperry is big man-big enough,
many believe, to be the coming man in
the navy. The manner in which he has
handled the fleet thus far bears out the
opinion. From Honolulu to Auckland

Richmond Pearson Hobson and other
fire eaters may thirst for war, but the
rest of us do not. We love all men and
will continue doing SO if they will let
us. But in the event that some little
misunderstanding should arise in the
Pacific, for example, this man Sperry
is just the kind that would be found
right on the job-no fuss and fea theirs

Warmly Greeted In New Zealand.

On the way to Auckland the feet
passed Samoa, where Robert Louis
Stevenson lived and wrote. Here 1t
was greeted by Old Glory, for the
United States controls one of the is
lands of the group and has fine har-
Dor at Pagopago. The reception of
our battleships in New Zealand was
enthusiastic in the extreme. After
Auckland the fleet is moving on to the
Philippines, Japan, China, thence
through the Indian ocean, Suez canal
and the Mediterranean back to- it's
starting point at Hampton Roads. Ger
tain yellow newspapers recently had a
sensational story, lifted from a mod
ern novel, to the effect that when OUT
battleships reached japanese waters
they would be secretly and treacher-
ously attacked without declaration
of war, as the Russian feet was at
tackled at Port Arthur. The story went
on to recount how all our vessels in
the Pacific would thus be sunk before
we had any intelligence that trouble
was impending. Then hundreds of
thousands of japanese troops would
be transported to our shores overnight
and we would awake to find ourselves
not famous, but prisoners. 1t was a
great blood and thunder story and
about as far from possible truth as
most Of the yellow sensations, yet it
no doubt resulted in few increased
paper sales.
There is no need of the American
people growing excited over such wild
prospects, at least as long as Charles
Stillman Sperry is in command He is
not the sort of commander that allows
an enemy to steal on him unawares.
With all his quiet courtesy. he has the
snap of command and the spirit of the
fighter When he heard Of his APP
pointment he remarked, Il am the re-
sponsible head of a military organiza-
ton, and propose to be one" Thus
far he has made good, and all who
know him are certain that he VIII

a Momentous Event.

America is the key to the Pacific. 1t
was under our example and protection
that the South and Central American
republics and Mexico came into being
and into freedom. Canada in her POI
litical and Industrial evolution owes
more to US than to Great Britain.
Alaska is owned and is being opened
by US. As already stated, the new
cities in eastern Siberia are more like
America than Russia. Japan was
awakened by the United States The
Integrity Of China was maintained by
the diplomacy of John Hay. Hawaii
and the Philippines are being deyel-
oped by US. Australia and New Zea-
land are modelled more on the Ameri-
can government than on the English.
To crown all, the United States is
building the Panama canal and will
control it when built.
When the sixteen American battle
ships arrived at San Francisco there
occurred the most imposing event in
naval history. The scene Of it was the
broad harbor inside the Golden Gate.
There gathered forty three fighting
vessels, the most magnificent feet ever
collected by any county in history.
Forming in a great square, these ships,
all American, numbered their salutes
to Secretary Of the Navy Metcalf, him
self a son Of California.
Admiral Sperry assumed command
shortly after the review at the Golden
Gate. The cruise from that day to the
present has been marred by no unto
ward event. The first port touched
was Honolulu. There the fleet was still
greeted by the American flag. All who
visit Hawaii have sung its praises In
various extravagant keys. On Mark
Twain the land has never lost its spell.
What wonder, then, that our American
Jackies were captivated by it and thai

Kept In Touch With Washington.

From Honolulu the sixteen battle
ships steamed over the $3.50, mile
course to Auckland, New Zealand, as
already described. Besides making the
longest battleship run without coaling
on record, there were two other notable
features belonging to this part of the
journey. The first was daily keeping in
touch with Washington through Wire
less. This was accomplished in nov
Ell manner. At Suva, Fiji islands, is a
station of the ocean cable to Yancou-
yer. By leaving the supply ship Ola.
cier as a wireless station at Suva and
stationing other small vessels at inter-
walls between this point and the fleet it
was possible to send wireless messages
daily. from ship to ship till they reach
ed Suva, whence they were dispatched
by cable to Vancouver and Washing
ton
Another noteworthy accomplishment
of the run was the decreased con-
sumption of coal, already noted This
was brought about through a system
Of competition esta blished by Admiral
Sperry between the various vessels Of
the feet Each day report was made
Of the amount Of coal burned, and If
any ship showed an unusual amount
an explanation was demanded. A ri
valry in economy thus sprang up,
which not only brought out the largest
development of power to the least con-
sumption of fuel, but improved the
skill in navigation. It proved as eff
fective a drill for the engineers as had
the previous competitive tests in
craftsmanship proved for the gunners.
This cruise will be Of invaluable serv-
ice to the officers and men in giving
them experience as navigators, besides
impressing all other nations with a
wholesome respect for Uncle Sam as a
sea power.
