FEW PEOPLE REALIZE

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Few of

VINO learned through the press on
April IA that the entire Atlantic fleet

he strength of that great organza
lion or what it meant to get the
ireadnaughts under way.
Americans justly are proud of theii
navy, but how many knew that this
IS the greatest offensive naval force
he world has ever seen?
The American navy is outranked
by the British, German and French
fleets, with Japan close behind. But
SO great has been the progress in
naval construction in the past decade
that the Japanese fleet which gave
bait to the Russians in the Sea of
japan would have been absolutely
helpless against the force which the
United States sent to Mexican wa
ters to avenge the insults offered to
he stars and stripes. The battle Of
lie Sea Of japan VS. the greatest
naval engc cement in history mas
much as the ships engaged thercir
were far stronger than any which
previously had fought. Despite this
fact, however, a naval expert recent
" asserted that the force which sail
ed for Tampico under the command
Of Rear Admiral Badger on April 10
would not have had the slightest diff
,ulty in destroying the Japanese and
Russian fleets combined, as they were
at the time Of the Russo-Japanese
war.
"This statement sounds little
improbable" said the naval expert
Who has had hand in the increased
efficiency of the modern battleships,
but moments consideration will
how that it is quite logical.
"In the first place there is nothing

ONLY ANVAS|ON CAN
SAVE AMERICANS
Every Interior Mexican CITY Holds
United States Civilians as
Hostages.
CBy William G. Shepherd.)
VERA CRUZ, Mexico, April 81

Ecvery interior city Of Mexico is
lholding American prisoners as hos
'tages. With the exception of Charge
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, every member
or the diplomatic party arriving at
Vera Cruz from Mexico City, private
ly expressed the opinion that the
early arrival Of troops in the capital
and the overthrow of the dictator
Huerta will save the marooned Amer
leans.
At almost every town between
Vera Cruz and Mexico City and
Americans are being held prisoners
This I learned upon meeting
OShaughnessy and his party four
miles from Vera Cruz, where they
were transferred from the special
train furnished by Huerta to the
American train that bore them into
this city.
The passage Of O'Shaughnessy's
train from the capital was most dra-
matte. The charge, with his wife and
son, Consul General Shanklin and
members Of the embassy staff, left
Mexico City at midnight Thursday.
MODS were then in front of the en-
bassy.
At the station, Americans beseiged
the train, pleading that they be per-
micted to accompany the fleeing par
ty. Col Ramon Caraona, assigned by
Huerta to escort O'Shaughnessy from
4hp pitv hof1u roPuco5
Huerta SEXES Rifles.
! Before the departure, Huerta sent
200 soldiers to the embassy to seize
THE ITS rifles and two machine guns
(which were stored there for the de,
fense Of the American citizens The
American volunteer guards were ex-
pected to defend their arms, but on
1.-THE advice Of OShaughnessy they
surrendered the weapons without re-
sistance.
Then began the trip for Vera Cruz,
\during which the heart Of everyone
lin the diplomatic party was to be
touched by the appeals Of country
men for aid. At the towns Of Oriz-
aba, Cordova and Jalapa Americans
were crowded about the stations.
They pleaded with the American
charge to be taken aboard his train.
O'Shaughnessy was helpless. These
stranded Americans had been taken
from trains bound for Vera Cruz.
AT Cordova an American wearing
a British flag sneaked to the side Of
the train and handed a note to one
Of the consulate employees. This note
read:
"Blisser, Erford, Whitcomb, and 4
good many other Americans are be-
ing held in jail here. They were
taken off a train, and are being held
az: hostages in case Americans attack
the town. They want to know If you
can't help?"

refused, but the commission
learning that he had baby boy,
promptly deposited the cheek %
