quantity of fuel consumed. In this re.
spect alone the experience gained is
invaluable. Nearly 100000 gallons of
oil were consumed in lubricating the
engines and machinery.
All Nations Impressed.
1t is as a naval test that the cruise
of the fleet takes rank as the most
interesting and greatest achievement
of modern times. Naval experts of
foreign nations waited with cynical
patience for the fleet to arrive in Mag
dalena bay, battered and disabled aft
er the first leg of the rigorous journey
When the ships went through target
practice without any preparation they
fastened to report to their govern
ments. Later, when the same ships
continued on their way around the
world and did the same thing at Ma
Mia bay, the fighting efficiency of the
American navy was unquestioned.
Foreign naval experts also waited
confidently until the ships should
reach California, to see the bluejack-
cts desert in shoals as soon as they
set foot on their own soil again On
the contrary the men kept to their
posts more faithfully than even the
department itself anticipated. This
is the one problem Of the American
navy that has been a source of con-
slant difficulty. Re-enlistments be-
come more common than before and
for the men who left the fleet after
the long cruise around South Ameri-
ca there were more men to take the
places when they were ready to leave
San Francisco.
But there were some things, some
very simple things, brought out by
the fleets voyage which seem to have
escaped the critics of the navy. If
naval operations are to be carried by
the United States at long range, and
that will probably be the case, so far
as the Pacific is concerned, there
must be Golfers to fill the bunkers of
the battleships, supply ships to fill the
store rooms, and ammunition ships
to fill the magazines. In their last re-
ports the chief of the bureau of ord
nance said that a navy without am
munition was helpless, the chief of the
bureau of supplies and accounts said
that navy without food for the men
was helpless. The GOLFERS are being
built now and it is only a matter of
time before each of the bureau chiefs
will get what he wants.

those to whom they waved their fare
wells from the same spot over year
ago And with the rattle of chains
and the splash of anchors, as the
great ships wheeled into their berths,
the journey of 42,227 miles-not in
cluding the side trips in the Mediter-
ranean and other waters-from zone
to zone, over the worlds oceans and
through foreign seas. was at an end
Marks Epoch in History.
The event marks an epoch in the
naval and diplomatic history of the
United States. AS a mere physical
achievement it is thing of enormous
proportions. AS a test of naval eff
cheney it has shown the sailing value
of the fleet and demonstrated to
many peoples the power of the United
States and its equipment for war. It
has been sort of gymnastic exercise
with the big stick. 1t has given the
navy department the results of an
experience that will be invaluable in
the upbuilding of future fleets and
brought out defects that must be over
come. AS a diplomatic messenger it
has dissipated international misunder-
standings and brought closer in friend
ly relations the United States and
many of the worlds countries.
The successful completion of the
cruise without noteworthy accident or
untoward incident, from either naval
or political point of view, is regarded
by all nations as history making from
several points of view. Never before
has any battle command made such a
long. continuous voyage. Never be-
fore has any battle command circum-
navigated the globe, whether in one
or separate voyages Never before
has any fleet or armada of any of the
countries of the world visited so many
ports, so many countries, under so
many flags. And never was any naval
command received with such wide and
universal acclaim and enthusiasm of
friendly feeling and spirit of welcome
as marked the progress of the Ameri-
can battle fleet at every one of it's
twoscore or more stops on the cruise
around the world
Few Desertions Reported.
A remarkable feature of the cruise
has been the excellent discipline.
While there have been a few deser-
tions, the number has been far less
in proportion than it usually is in
home ports. The extent of the drink

expected
From thepoint ofviaW of the trained
mariner, bringing a ship around the
world is no extraordinary task. But
bringing 16 battleships, with $4,000
men, around the world Is a most gi-
gantic naval undertaking. Unlike the
merchant ships. they are things Of
massive and intricate mechanism.
They moved in battle formation, ma
neuvering at sea, to simulate, as far as
possible, war conditions. At two stops
in their journey, MaSdalena bay and
the Philippines, the great batteries
were brought into play for target prac
tice without preparation, to prove the
mess of the ships for fighting at the
of long cruise
Many Countries Visited.
The fleet visited 20 countries and
anchored in 26 foreign ports. The 16
ships passed through the Straits of
Magellan. made the journey through
the Suez canal without mishap and
coaled at Port Said in record time to
be off to help the Italian earthquake
sufferers, all without mishap. Two
passed through the Dardanelles, the
first foreign warships to do so without
grave conferences betv the Wig
liant powers, to pick the young
Turkish officers who " e to come to
the United States. Two saluted the
new sultan of Morocco. One division
dropped anchor at Annoy to do honor
to China. The whole fleet flew their
colors in the ports of Japan. The
flags of nearly all the world were I'M
furled in welcome to them.
To drive the ships 100000 tons Of
coal were used. Practically all of this
came from America, in order that
there be no variations in quality which
would interfere with the elaborate
steaming tests to determine the maxi
mum power to be obtained from the
