as a painted ship on painted ocean"
he asserted in measured but empha-
tic phrase.
Mr. Hale declared that the American
feet was the most magnificent and
formidable squadron Of ships any ma
ton had ever put on the ocean.
But Senator Hale declared, "the
people do not realize how helpless the
feet Is without golfers that are now
liable to be called away In a moment
Of need by foreign governments.
1T there should be-" he said, 1even
a menace OF war, I do not know but
that every neutral power represented
in those ships would be compelled to
withdraw them from the fleet and we
would be hung up. Something must
be DONE" he added, ain this entirely
neglected field that we have in a fool
hardy way rashly abandoned in the
past"

FLEET ON TO JAPAN.
THE MIKApo CORDIALLY INVITES
BIG SIXTEEN TO VISIT
ISLAND NATION.
CONSIDERED BY CABINET
Secretary Root Directed to Accept the
Invitation and 90 Informed
Japanese Ambassador
TakahIra.

Washington, Mar. 21.-The Ameri-
can battleship feet Is to visit Japan.
The desire Of the emperor of the
island kingdom to play host to the
"Big Sixteen" was laid before Secre-
tary Root Thursday by Baron Taxa
hira, the Japanese ambassador. The
invitation, which was couched in must
cordial terms, was made the subject
OF extended consideration by President
Roosevelt and his entire cabinet Fri
day. Secretary Root was directed to
accept the invitation and the accept
ance was laid before the Japanese am
bassador late Friday.
1t is regarded in official circles here
as more than likely that China will be
next to bid for a look at the fleet, and
that should this be the case the invi'
tation would be accepted.
Secretary Metcalf and Admiral Pills
bury, chief of navigation, are arrang-
ing the details Of the new itinerary.
With the exception OF China, 1t is be-
lieved to have been determined that
all other invitations, should any be re-
ceived, will be declined for at best the
feet will not now be able to reach the
Atlantic seaboard before the first Of
next March.
The itinerary which seems to be
the most direct includes stops at the
Hawaiian islands, Samoa, Melbourne,
Sydney, Manila, Yokohama should
that port be selected as the stopping
place in Japan possibly . Chinese
port, back to the Philippines, and
then home by way Of the Suez canal,
with only such stops as are neces-
sary for coaling.
The fall target practice has been
planned to occupy month at Manila,
either before or after the visit to
Japan. Although target practice is
regarded as decidedly important, and
the custom is to have the ships oc-
cupy a month each spring and fall In
gun practice, the desire to have the
feet return to its home station may
lead to a curtailment Of the month
for Manila.
Japan will have the ships a week,
according to tentative plans. While
the stops in foreign ports so far made
have been on an average of ten days
duration, a part Of that time was oc-
cupied in taking on coal. With visit
to Manila first, no coaling operations
would be necessary, at least to any
extent, in Yokohama.
This would enable the entire stay
there to be given up to the festivities
and show features of the visit.
The acceptance Of the Japanese In
is regarded in official circles
as Of considerable importance In the
way Of demonstration Of the cor
diality existing between the American
and Japanese governments. The add
ed trip is nearly equal in distance to
a voyage from New York to Europe.
