OUR FLEET
NOW HOME
GREAT RECEPTION IN
HAMPTON ROADS.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT GREETs
MEN AND GIVES A TOAST
PRAISING THEM ALL.

Fortress Monroe, Va, Feb. 23.--"Not
until some American fleet returns VIC
torious from great sea battle will
there be another such Homecoming. an.
other such sight as this. I drink to the
American navy"
This was the toast of President
Roosevelt Monday as he stood radiant
ly happy in the cabin of the little
cruiser yacht Mayfower at the con.
clusion of the review and the cere-
monies attending the welcome home of
the American battleship feet. He was
surrounded by the admirals and cap
tains of the 16 world-encircling vessels,
brilliantly attired in all the gold lace
and paraphernalia of special full dress
uniform, and every glass was raised in
response to the president g suggestion.
"We stay-at-homes also drink to the
men who have made us prouder than
ever of our country" added the presl-
dent, and against the toast was
pledged.
''Proudest Moment Of Our Lives
"When the feet sailed from San
Francisco, Mr.. President" replied Rear
Admiral Charles s. Sperry, "you sent
us message, saying that ours was a
heavy responsibility and great honor.
That we have today fulfilled the re-
sponsibility makes this the proudest
moment of our lives. say 'we' ad-
visedly in speaking of the feet, for no
one man could have done what has
been done without the loyalty and the
willing cooperation of every man on
the feet.
Thus briefly the communicative chief
of the returning ships made his official
report to the communicating chief of the
army and navy.
The president was in the same joyous
mood as he was when the ships set sail,
IA months ago.
edo you remember the prophecies of
disasterf" asked the president. "Well,
here they are," he added, pointing to
the ships, returning after IA months
without scratch. 81 say it is mag
nificent."

Visited the Flagships.

To the men and junior officers the
president expressed his appreciation
and the thanks of the country for the
prestige which the cruise of the fleet
had given to the American navy by
making visits to the four divisional
fagships.
On the Connecticut were gathered de-
tachments Of bluejackets from all of
the other ships of that division and the
same was true of the companies on the
other fagships. Going aboard the Con-
necticut with the crew manning the
rails, or drawn up at attention on the
quarterback and after bridge, with the
band playing "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," and the forward guns firing the
salute of Fl guns in his honor, the presi-
dent passed first down the long line of
officers along the starboard rail and
paid cordial greeting to each one.
Previously on the Mayfower he said
personal word Of congratulation to all
Of the flag and commanding officers.
On the Connecticut the president
went upon the barbette, or steel foun-
dation of the armor turret, with its pro-
truding 12-inch rifles, and in the shadow
OF those great guns he briefly addressed
the crew.
Roosevelt Addresses Grew.
The president interspersed his pre-
pared remarks freely with asides and
particularly caught the fancy of the
men when he told them he was I'm
mensely satisfied with the gunnery
work thus far accomplished.
"You have done Al in smooth wa
ter" said the president, "but what I
want to see next year is target prac-
tice under conditions in rough weather
and water.''
The bluejackets on the bridge started
the cheering, which was caught up by
the white-gloved officers.
"For if you ever have to fight" con-
tinued the president, "you can not
choose your water.'
Again the men burst into cheers. The
men are enthusiastic on anything per-
tanning to target practice, and the ri
valry between the different ships both

The men cheered again when the presi-
dent declared that this was the first
battle feet ever to circle the globe and |
that any other nation that ever at
tempted similar performance must fol- |
low in the footsteps of America.
"You have done the trick,' he ex-
claimed, and the quick response of the
men brought glad smile to the speak
er's lips. "Other nations may follow"
repeated the president, "but they have
got to go behind"
Pacific and Atlantic Coast.
The cheering broke out again when
the president declared of the cruise
that "nobody after this will forget that
the American coast is on the Pacific as
well as the Atlantic"

with Improvement and apparent re-

BELGIUM CAPITOL UNDER
THREATS.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 22.-Baroness
Vaughan, whom Leopold made his
Queen in fact If not in name, quietly
left Belgium today, her reign ended.
her power collapsed, accepting the
hint of the Government that If she did
not depart voluntarily she would be
expelled from the country.
The Baroness packed up those amg-
nificent furnishings of her chateau
which were the personal gifts of King
Leopold, and forwarded them across
the frontier. She herself took train
for France.
To the Belgians this good-looking
young woman, with brown hair and
cleaning black eyes, was always a
great mystery, but they accepted her
as they have the other whims OF the
determined and self-willed King. They
have thought for years of her resi-
dence beside the Kings, Of the famous
floral bridge linking the two domins.
They have discussed with unconcern
her absolute dominion over the Kings
private life.
