The American fleet is the most powerful to
pass through the Suez Canal, and will be a new
of the capacity of the great artificial water
route. Great Britain has often sent strong
squadrons to the East along this road. but none
has been more than half as large as the Ameri-
can circumnavigators of the globe.
The coming presence of this great sea force
in the Mediterranean has been the object of
curious theoretical studies by European ad-
mralties A member of the staff of the intelli-
gence office of the British Admiralty called at
tention some weeks ago when war in the Bal
l1ans was thought possible the fact that the
United States would have force in the East
ern Mediterranean in January, holding the bal
ance of power in the event of EuTope's naval
strength being dlvided-a force capable of die
tating a settlement. Although this appeared a
fanciful suggestion the presence of this enor-
nous fleet is a problem in European af-
fairs.
The passage of the canal Is regarded a safe
one even for 16000-ton vessels. such as those OF
the Connecticut class. which the heaviest
