Europe Has Eyes Opened
by Orders to Circle

EXPECTED A FAILURE
Ability OF Ships to Keep at Sea
Makes Our Naval Power
Equal to Great Britain's

Paris, March 14.-News of the de-
cision to send the American battleship
fleet back 10 the Atlantic coast by way
of Australia and The Suez canal is re-
ceived here as the crowning reyela-
tion of the efficiency of the American
navy.
Opens French Eyes.
The statement that the cruise is to
be extended in this manner has open
ed the eyes of the French public
which had been led to believe the
American navy was a good deal of
bluff and that the cruise around
South America would demonstrate the
incapacity of the vessels and that If
/ it was accomplished the ships would
| be ready for the scrapheap.
Even Naval Men Are Surprised.
Even in French naval circles the
belief was a long voyage would de-
velop strong the structural weak
nesses in the vessels. Many French
officers now frankly say the impress
sive demonstration given by the Amer
! lean feet of its ability to keep at sea
raises the American navy 10 an equal
ity with that of Great Britain, and
. that if the return journey is as sue
cessful as the trip around South
America has been the American navy
will have demonstrated it has no SUI
periors in the world.
Wants a Report.
The French minister iof marine, NJ
Thomson. is so impressed with the re-
suit of this cruise that he is instruct
ing Lieutenant Commander de Blan-
pre-. French naval attache at Wash
ington to proceed to San Francisco
and send in a full report of the con-
dition of the ships and the lessons of
the cruise.
