TARGET PRACT CTICE IS GOOD

Washington, March 24,-The battleship fleet will visit China as well as Aus tralia and Japan, and will be home on Washingtons birthday that President Roosevelt may participate in the welcome before his retirement from office 10 days later.

Alabama, Illinois, Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, Ohio Kentucky and Kearsarge.

Please extend a formal invitation for the vessels to visit our ports through the honorable Secretary of State.
 Trusting that your government will see its way clear to accept the invitation, and assuring you, sir, of my highest consld- eration.''
 Secretary Root today, in the course of his reply, said:
 Tt is my agreeable duty to have the honor of informing you that the govern ment of the United States is most happy to accept the invitation, which is done with special qualification in view of the friendship and good will which have so long existed between the American and Chinese governments and people.
 "In communicating this reply am com pelled to add, however, that the arrange ments for the cruise of the fleet will make it Impossible for it to visit more than one of the ports of China.
 "It is noted with pleasure that the fleet will be welcomed by His Excellency Yuan Fang, the viceroy of Ranking, who is so agreeably recalled as one of the im- perial Chinese high commissioners who visited the United States few years ago."
