NEW RECORDS FOR SAILING
None Other to Compare with Achieve

ONCE the tabled cruise OF the Ar

many famous cruises In history, but
none that can compare, either in mag
nitude OF vessels or In length of miles.
TO the great world cruise just finished
by our feet.
When Admiral Rojestvensky took
his doomed ships from the Baltic to
the Sea OF Japan. this was heralded
to all the world as the greatest armed
cruise In history, and so It was up
TO that time. Yet apart from the sin
gular fact that these Russian fighting
ships were foredoomed to disaster,
what n miserable achievement 1t was
as compared TO the magnificent, resist
less, onward sweep of our own fight.

Russian feet was attended by mis-

sailormcn selected from the division.
The cruise has been a practice trip
throughout. but II remained for the
final lap TO institute the maneuyers
and tests planned. The intention was
TO give the vessels the severest trials
at the finish Of their long journey. In
order that any defects In them might
be demonstrated.
In addition 20 the l6 battleshlps that
composed the feet, there were the

and two GOLFERS. These we're started
ahead from Gibraltar. Before they
had negotiated much OF the distance
westward across the Atlantic they
were met by the welcoming fleet sent
out from the United States. This
consisted OF the battleships Maine.
New Hampshire, Idaho and Missis-
sippi, the armored cruisers Montana
and North Carolina. and the scout
cruisers Salem. Birmingham and Ches-
ter. When they Joined the others II

vessels took Tart.

to the Pacific from Hampton roads. all
the European naval experts on the
continent permitted themselves TO
doubt whether our ships could ever be
got ready in time, and whether the
long cruise could ever be accom-
plished without serious disasters. But
every English speaking sailormar
knew Ia his heart that the great fleet
would be all ready and would start
exactly on time. to the minute, as II did
Had Confidence in Fleet.
What is more. we all Knew that the
great feet would swing around tho
world, looking in at the Hawaiian is
lands. the Philippines. into China ano
Japan, and back again without the
slightest shade OF doubt IN the soul
of any American that the fleet would
always acquit itself well and achieve
what II set out to do.
This. indeed, is the great thing that
has been accomplished by the feet.
For the first time In history the Pa
cific ocean has been put into commits
sion. This is great fact, great
achievement, the results Of which can
never be changed or lost. Henceforth

Second Spanish Armada.

Second Spanish Armada.
Coming down to more modern
times, no one can have forgotten that
Ill fated cruise Of another Spanish ar
mazda under Admiral Cervera, which
ended in the total loss of Spanish sea
power at Santiago de Cuba
All these cruises. like that OF Ro-
jestvensky, were remarkable not only
for their tragic endings, but for the
series OF blunders, follies and mis-
haps that attended them from first to
last.
How different in comparison with
Nelson and Blake, or even such an
early long war cruise as that achieved
by old Admiral Drake when he sailed
his puny fighting ships all the way
from England around the Horn and up
to our own waters near what Is now

all kinds. Even after the Russian
ships had at last got out into he open
sea after their ludicrous battle with
the British trawlers on the Dogger
banks they had to put into every neu-
trail port along the way for coal and
provisions, only to be humored or or
dered out again. according TO the good
will OF the various port authorities.
Then nearly six months had to be
spent at Madagascar in retitting. yet
during all that time. so Admiral Ro-

testified, none of the ere ws of any Of

TO the historian II cannot but ap.

other previous great cruises in his

dertaken by English-speaking sailors
have only resulted In disaster and
shame. There was the great cruise
OF the Spanish armada. for instance,
