Headed by the famous old battle
ship Oregon, now in reserve at Mare
Island, the entire Atlantic fleet OF
great dreadnoughts will pass through
the Panama canal as soon as it is
completed. This is the gist OF the
statement made by Secretary OF the
Navy Josephus Daniels at San Diego
today.
Furthermore, the battleship feet
will, after the completion of the
canal, spend as much time in the Pa
cific as the Atlantic, according to the
secretary, who said:
when the canal is opened the bat
tleship Oregon which raced around
the Horn to take part in the battle of
Santiago, will, as is fitting, be the
first vessel to pass through the canal.
The Oregon will not travel alone, for
the. gallant old warship will be fol-
dreadnoughts. The battleship fleet
henceforth will remain portion of
the time in the Pacific and portion
of the time in the Atlantic, one as
much as the other"
