TOXIC, Friday, Oct. 16.Some-
time between dawn and noon Sunday,
October IS, the American fleet of
sixteen battleships, escorted by a
squadron of Japanese war vessels,
will swing around Hachiogiyama into
the beautiful harbor of Yokohama.
Sixteen welcoming men of war will
salute and 336 harmless guns will
voice the sentiment of the whole peo-
pie of Japan.
The first scene of the first act OF
the weeks engagement of the Ameri-
can fleet in Japan will doubtless be
the most impressive, but every mum.
Der on the long program, carefully
prepared and as carefully rehearsed
will be new evidence that the vel

men representing the entertaining
emperor and people at its beck ant

of October 1S, said: when the frs
gun of welcome sounds American
week will have begun and new pag
will be turned in the history of th
relations between the two countries.
