Hampton Roads again on June IL
to take up the never ending game
OF making ready for war, at which
half the nations of the earth are
constantly playing.
The white squadron Is no more.

a gray, lusterless paint as nearly
as possible the color of the sea it
self, against which they are scarce

distance The huge vessels. In
stead of having the gay holiday APP

coined in all the ports along the
line of their 10000 mile voyage,
will look more like the real fight

This change of guise fore

Is very much as If the spectre OF
war which confronts European ma
tions at every turn had cast its
shadow also over the western
hemisphere, and as If the gray fleet
were the visible symbol of the
spirit of militarism of which the
American people have become in
creasingly conscious during the
last few years. The navy depart
