from an economic viewpoint the

pl edicted that the people of the ma

those he represented were practically

Governor Wilson caused laughter
by declaring that the only difference

he did not Neither did he feel any

said.
Governor Wilson said II was neces-
sary for the country to rescue the

interests that controlled 1t.
Discussing economic principles
with special reference to the Panama
canal the governor said that as soon
as this project was completed the
main arteries of commerce which at
present stretched from ocean to

that in that event il would be unwise

MANY FINE WARSHIPS IN
TWO RESERVE FLEETS

Washington, March 1.-Many fine
warships win go into the reserve
fleets by orders from the navy de-
partment today.
When Admiral Alfred Reynolds
takes command of the Pacific reserve
fleet at Puget Sound, March Is, he
will have in his command the Penn
sylvania, oregon Raleigh and st
Louis. The West Virginia, Milwaukee,
Charleston, Chattanooga, Galveston
and Cleveland will be added as they
become available.
The Atlantic reserve fleet will be
organized about May /, at Philadel-
phia, under command of Rear Ad-
miral Austin NJ. Knight.
The formation of reserve fleets,
into which vessels not i'm active ser
vice or undergoing repairs win be
placed, forms distinct advance in
naval policy, for while these fleets
will have reduced crews, they can be
sent to sea on short notice. Each ship
will make short cruises during which
steamins trials and target practice
will be had The regulations are so
comprehensive as to prevent the
deterioration to which ships are SUBJ
ject when out of commission.
