! The woodworking voyage OF
the American fleet came safely tc
an end when the sixteen battleships,
under Admiral Sperry, having fin
ished the last run of $500 miles from
Gibraltar. dropped anchor in Hamp
ton Roads in February. Here the
entire fleet, including the escorting
third squadron of the Atlantic fleet,
under Rear Admiral Arnold, was re.
viewed by President Roosevelt on
February o. 1t was exactly ore
year and sixty-eight days before
that the president had started the
fleet off from this same port on its
famous cruise around the world. In
this period the ships covered a dis
lance OF approximately $4,000 miles,
touched at many ports in South
America, Australia, Japan, China,
and points in the Mediterranean,
and received everywhere the most
gratifying welcome from private
and official sources. In every way
the cruise has been a pronounced
success Not a single accident
marred the course of the entire voy-
age. In fact, the ships, in the opin-
ion of the commanding officer, re-
turned home in even better condi-
ton than when they steamed away.
The experience has been a valuable
one for officers and men. The fleet
in the words of Admiral Sperry-
has found ITSELF" the long and
harmonious service together having
vastly increased the working eff
cheney of each individual unit and
and their combined effectiveness as
a fleet. This American naval
achievement has set new standards
for various phases of naval eff
cheney. Foreign nations have OBJ
served it with keen interest, while
to the American people it has been
a source of pride as we'll as an OBJ
ject lesson in the value of an effect
i've naval foace. The presidents
action in dispatching the battleships
on this unprecedented cruise has
been fully justified by its excellent
results. From "The Progress of

Mr.. Karl Reach, of the Reach

fell through the elevator shaft

feet, sustaining serious injuries.
His left arm was broken in two
places below the elbow, and it is
thought that his elbow was fractur-
