At THE 1915 FAIR

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20-Anchored

be the greatest international fleet ever
gathered in American waters. assem-
bled in answer to the invitation of the
United States government to cele-
brate the completion of the Panama
canal by making a voyage to the Pa
cific through the new waterway.
Some of the nations with great navies
may be represented by squadrons OF
four or more warships; others by
only one or two. and some of the
countries practically without navies
including vessels of the first class will
be represented only in the personnel
of their legations ana commissions 10
the Panama Pacific exposition.
The president wiz go to Hampton
Roads to review tho assembled fleets
as they start on their voyage to San
Francisco.

rected that congress. which authoriz-

| the American COMMANDER outrankec
by some foreign naval officer.
The ceremonies at Hampton Road!
and the time required for visit t.
Washington by the fireign visitors
will consume about a week or tel
days, and then, headed by the Ameri
can fleet. probably with the super
| dreadnaught New York at the righ
! of the column, the great armada vii
make its way southwark for Colon.
It is estimated that about four day
will be required to pass the flee
through the locks and canal, an'
about twice that length of time vii
suffice to replenish the coal bunker
and oil tanks of the ships before the,
resume their cruise, rnis time steam

complete voyage from Hampton
Roads to the Golden Gate In AZ days
which will include a stop of day o
