SOME OF THEM OBJECT TO MAG
NIFICENT DISPLAY FOR OUR
FLEET.

LONDON, July 17.-Reports re-
cefved here regarding the magnificent
preparations that are being made IN
Australian and New Zealand ports Tor
the entertainment of the American fleet
are provoking a great deal of comment.
The expenditure of such vast sums py
the colonial cities in entertaining the
fleet of a foreign power is condemned
by the London papers. An undercurrent
of jealousy of the United States runs
through many of these editorial articles
and the cruise Of the Yankee vessels
is severely criticised by some naval au-
thorities.
On the continent however ana es-
neeially in Germany, the politicl aspects
of the cruise are considered in more
favora able light.
The Marine Rundschau, which Is the
subsidized organ of the German impe1
rial marine department, considers that

fleet in the Pacific" marks the pegih-
