FLEET NOT NEEDED IN ITALY.

FLEET NOT NEEDED IN ITALY.
4 has been suggested that the bat
tleship feet, returning from Its trip
around the world. should be diverted
from it's scheduled course and be
sent the the MISREPRESENTATION sec
ton Of Italy.
Were 1t possible for the feet to 60
Immediately to tMessina. the aid pos
sible to be rendered by the jackiea
in rescue work would be OF great
benefit to the distressed people.
But 1t appears that the sixteen bat
tl.ships could not possibly reach the
earthquake country until January 10
IL arly two weeks from this date.
BY that time mere manual assistance
vii. be OF no avail Those atill burr
ed in the ruins will have passed into
the beyond.
Tn ships carry no surplus supplies
which could be spared in succoring
the hungry. Besides. the starving
of today will have been relieved from
other sources or will perish before
the battleships could possibly arrive.
In view OF its .mpotency t. render
effective aid in Italy. the fleet should
come home on schedule time. Con
formity to the prearranged timetable
has been one Of the main objects OF
the globe-encircling cruise OF the
fleet
Any adequate assistance to the SUI
ferers from the LATHAM earthquake
must materialize in short order. AID
which does not reach them before
January Is will fall short of its pur-
pose.
The feet should come into Hamp-
ton Roads at the appointed time ana
thus complete the execution OF the
most marvellous scheme OF lons-dls-
lance cruising by a fleet OF warships
ever conceived in the worlds history.

THOSE LOCOMOTIVE CONTRACTS

The comments Of the Newport
News Press upon the Virginian Rall'
ways order for locomotives seems 10

was not a case Of the reputable
distribution OF business among
branches OF a trust. The Baldwin
company. to which the bulk Of the
order was awarded on second
thought, is not a MEMBER OF the rust

and give 1t to competitive WORKS.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The Daily Press acknowledges and
cheerfully prints the correction sub
mitted by the Times-Dispatch. This
paper was under the impression that.
while the BALDWIN works In techni
cal sense. were not part of the
AmericarK Locomotive Company. Or
the so-called locomotive trust. a com
munity Of Interests" understanding
existed between the two corporations
without explicit information, the
conclusion naturally suggested itself
that there could be no locomotive
trust" in the United States without
the participation Of the Baldwin Com
pany-the greatest locomotive build
inG concern in America and perhaps
in the World.
