in which the fire control instruments
are mounted is expected to be fully es-
tablished. The torpedo boat will
be tried out as an instrument of
naval warfare used in conjunction with
battleships. So many Improvements
have been made in the torpedo that it
is likely to figure much more promi-
nently in naval engagements in the
future than it has in the past, both by
reason or increased accuracy of con-
troll and length of range.
Generally speaking, it is believed
that these maneuvers will mark a new
epoch in the American navy. The
game of war will be played more ener-
getically and more scientifically than
ever before. And whether the ships
are at sea or in port, they will always
have the appearance of engines of
destruction as an ever present remin-
der that the prospect of war Is as Sc
riously considered in the United States
as it is in the countries overseas where
the fear of the world powers is being
, expressed in constantly growing naval
budgets and the rapidly increasing
number of launchings of the grim levi
athans of war.

SEATTLE, May 2S.-Four days
hence, with a blare of trumpets and
booming of guns and such a fanfare OF
noise and gayety as Do Pacific coast
city has ever known before, the gates
of the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition
will be thrown open to the public. AL

the myriad wheels running smoothly
of relief at having done what has never
been accomplished before-the COM
pletion of an international exposition
before the date set for the opening.
It has been remarked that all ex-
positions since the great Paris and
Chicago shows have merely done over
again what had been done before. The
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition at
Seattle is going to be different. 1t is
not going to be an exhibit Of the
known, but of the unknown.
Those who planned this years show
assumed nothing less than the task of
; introducing that half of the world
which is developed almost to the ulti-
mate to that other half which by
comparison is developed not at all and
which for centuries to come must be
the field of the worlds greatest work.
Seattle's exposition will bring together
the occident and the orient and fetch
Alaska from the north to know them
both. It will assemble the islands and

the old military masts, the vessels will
have fire control masts of the wire
waste basket type which detract
greatly from their symmetrical APP
pearance. At a distance they will be
merely gray hulls with little more than
turrets, smoke stacks and the gauze-
like masts showing above the sides.
This change of guise foreshadows in
no small way a change of policy in the
American navy. 1t is very much as if

European nations at every turn. has

people have become increasingly con-
scious during the last few years The
navy department has kept pace with
these changes in color and form by
training it's officers and men to be

President Roosevelt reiterated time
and again the advantages of this policy
President Taft has adopted much the
same view by removing from responci-
BILE positions officers Who are on the
retired list
When the reassembled fleet sails out
to sea this summer, it will be to play
the game of war more energetically
than ever. The maneuvers will be far
more important in this respect than
was the voyage around the world. This
journey demonstrated the fleets quail
ity for steaming and placed in the
hands of the department valuable data
for guidance in the construction of the
ships Of the future. Attention is now
to be concentrated upon fighting quail
tiles. To this end the fleet will be di-
vided and the game of war carried on

IN COAT OF GRAY, BATLESHlPS
WILL TAKE ON A MORE SIM
ISTER LOOK.
Superstructure Has Been Lowered and
Everything Ornate Taken Off In
a.. Preparation.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 2S.-The
batleship fleet of the, United States
navy will reassemble In Hampton
roads again on June Ia to take. up the
never1ending game of making ready
for. war at which half the nations OF
the earth are constantly playing.
The summer maneuvers, to which
the following several weeks will be de-
voted, will be another chapter in the
recent chronicle of American naval
events in which the voyage around the
world occupied so important a part.
The place of the rendezvous will be
the same as that from which
the battleships started on their
momentous voyage, and the same at
which they arrived last February. The
ships, too, will be the same with the
exception of the New Hampshire, Ida
no and Mississippi which have been
and Kentucky, now held in reserve. In
appearance, however, the fleet will be
vastly different.
The white squadron is no more. The
covering of the ships Is now a gray,
Iustreless paint as nearly as possible
the color of the sea itself against which
they are scarcely visible at a COM
paratively short distance. The huge
vessels, instead of having the gay hol-
iday appearance In which they were
welcomed in all the ports along the
line of their forty thousand-mile yoy-
age will look more like the real fight
ing monsters that they are.
Although the ships have undergone
little change in vital characteristics
during their stay in the navy yards
since their homecoming, their OUT
ward aspect has been much altered.
The ornate brass figureheads have
been removed. The tophamper, that
portion of the ships equipment above
decks has been much reduced The az.
