UNITED STATES INVITES ALL Ma
TIoNs TO CELEBRATE OPEN
ING OF CANAL.
EARLY N 1915 WILL SEE ASSEMBLY
Warsips Will Pass in Grand Review
From Hampton Roads to San
Francisco-Elaborat Cere-
monies There.

Observation-Disclosures in Hampton
roads early in 1915 will be the greatest
international fleet ever gathered in
American waters, assembled in an
swer to the invitation Of the United
States government to celebrate the
completion Of the Panama canal by
making q voyage to the Pacific
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, practi-
cally without navies including vessels
OF the first class, will be represented
only in the personnel of their legations
and commissions to the Panama-Paci-
fic exposition.
President Will Review.
The president will go to Hampton
roads to review the assembled vessels
as they start on their voyage to San
francisco.
The international fleet probably will
be under command of an American, in
all likelihood Vice Admiral Cameron
MGR. Inslow, for it is expected that
congress, which authorized the assem-
bly,, will make provision for this new
grade rather than have the American
commander outranked by some foreign
naval officer.
The ceremonies at Hampton roads
and the time required for q visit to
Washington by the foreign visitors will
consume about a week or ten days and
then, headed by the American fleet,
probably with the superdreadnaught
New York at the right of the column,
the great armada will make its way
southwark for Colon.
1t is estimated that about four days
will be required to pass the fleet
through the locks and the canal and
about twice that length of time will
suffice to replenish the coal bunkers
and oil tanks Of the ships before they
resume their cruise, this time steam
ing northward for San Francisco.
Voyage Of AZ Days.
Altogether it is planned to make the
complete voyage from Hampton roads
to the Golden Gate in AZ days, which
will include stop Of day or two at
some convenient harbor or roadstead
on the Pacific coast, probably Magda-
lena bay, for additional fuel and sup
plies.
At San Francisco elaborate ceremo-
MES will be conducted.
