France And
Our Navy

Paris. March 1i.-News of the de.
cision to send the American battle.
ship fleet back to the Atlantic by way
of Australia and the Suez canal is re.
cieved here as browning revelation
OF the efficiency OF the United States
navy. The statement that the cruise
Is to be extended In this manner has
opened the eyes of the French public,
which has been led to believe that
the American navy was good deal
of "bluff;" that the cruise around
South America would demonstrate
the ineapacity Of the vessels and that
II 1t was accomplished the ships would
be ready for the scrap heap.
Even In French naval circles the
belief was that the long voyage would
develop structural weakness in the
vessels themselves or at least serious
breakdowns In the engine rooms. In
view of these opinions the announce.
mcnt that the fleet arrived at Magda.
lena bay ahead OF schedule. ready for
target practice and In better condition
than when II sailed from Hampton
Roads in December, has created all
the more establishment. 3l
Many French officers now frankly
say the impressive demonstration Civ.
en- by the American officers ability
to keep at sea raises the American
navy to an equality with that of Great
Britain, and that II the return journey
is as successful as the trip around
South America has been the Ameri,
can navy will have demonstrated that
1t has no superior In the world.
The French minister Of marine, NJ
Thomson, is so impressed with the re,
suit OF this cruise that he Is instruct
ing Lieutenant Commander de Elan
pre-, the French naval attachc al
Washington. to proceed to San Fran
cisco and send In Il full report of the
condition OF the ships and the lessons
of the cruise.
The absence Of boiler accidents
during the voyage already has called
out criticism of the contrast furnished
by the French navy, where troubl,
in the engine room is constant, anC
NJ. Thomson has been interpcllatet
as to why the government does no
use the American type of boiler
which is now being manufactured IL
France.
A salient feature of the cruise
which is attracting attention here
Is the success obtained from IN,
American system of employing lin,
officers In the engine rooms. Thi
procedure up to the present time ha
been regarded with much skepticisn
in French naval circles,
Ia a 4 G..t
the decision to start the fleet iron
the Pacific coast on its homewar
voyage in July is considered conclu
sive that Washington is now convinC
cd that the issue between the Unite
States and Japan will be adjuste

Coal fires have become the real
fashion in naval circles. For the
past few days n fire has been raging
in the local storage coal-piles, and
this morning the United States Ma

Day before yesterday the smoke
was first noticed arising from the
coal in her hold and Investigations
were at once made. II was found
that the fire was at the bottom of
one of the bunkers where 1t could
not be reached readily. Special
watch was placed, and it was dis
covered that the smoVdering Goals
were spreading very slowly. a
stream of water was turned on the
