KNOX LEAVES |ON LONG TRIP
SAILS ON CRUISER WASHINGTON ON DIPLOMATIC JUNKET GOV
 BRING TWO MONTHS.
Will Visit South American Republics for Purpose of cementing Friend ship of All Republics on the
 American Continent.

Key West, Fla, Feb. 2S.-When the armored cruiser Washington, the of fieial home of Secretary of State Knox for the greater part of the next two months, weighed anchor off Key West late today and turned her prov to- ward the isthmus, there was begun a diplomatic mission in many respects unprecedented.
 It would be a bold prophet who pre- tended to forecast the far-reaehing consequence of diplomacy initiated by the administration and undertaken by the state department. Apparently there is no cut and dried program of accomplishments but it is no se- cret that both President Taft and Sec retary Knox feel that the engineering feat that will separate North and South America physically should and will bind more closely the natural ties of neighboring republics of the Western hemisphere.
 While the itinerary will consist largely of formal courtesies, there probably will be friendly exchange of political significance. The only dis cordant note awakened thus far was struck by the Colombian minister at Washington whose action has since been repudiated by his government.
 The first stopping place of Secre tary Knox will be Colon, from where he will proceed to Panama. There he will deliver what may be antici pated as the keynote speech of the trip, setting forth what was in the minds of the administration officials when the itinerary was planned Meantime Secretary Knox will mol discuss his plans.
 The program of visits has been re | arranged from time to time and is still tentative. It has been expected that Mir Knox would first go to Ja I maica, but it was later declared that he should visit the caaal zone first Secretary Knox, accompanied by Mrs. Knox, Hugh Knox and wife, P c. Knox Jr.. and wife, reached Key West from Palm Beach this after noon. There the party was enter tained by Rear Admiral Young and later went out to the ship Oil a navy tug.
 Mir Knox will accomplish the triI under conditions befitting it's dignity The cruiser Washington carries near ly 1000 men, the largest crew now on an American warship. The ad miral's quarters anS the adjoining suite of the captain have been spe cially fitted up for them while tho whole after part of the gun deck ha' been set aside for the use of the Kno' party Here there will be frequen receptions to government official upon whom the secretary will call.
 To officers and crew it will not b. an easy trip. They win be on almos constant dress parade as official wis itors come and go. The men, how ever. have entered into the spirit 0 the cruise and it is believed wIh mak' a showing in the ports visited tha will reflect credit on the navy ant the cation

This was especially true It The Trib-
