 The fleet stretched ahead up the river for four miles, each snil dressed from stem to stern with pennants and ensgns, the national coloTs fluttering over the taffrails and at mastheads. The crew in blue service uniforms, the officers in gold lace, manned the rails.
 Overhead were dark, sullen clouds and gray mist blew over the river harmonizing with the gray of the bat tleships, but so thick at times that the furthermlst ships of the line could scarcely be distinguished from the Mayflower's starting point Her course took her between the line of battle ships and destroyers around the end of the fleet and back between the bat tleshjps and the Manhattan shore
 As the presidents yacht, conveyed by four destroyers, reached the flag ship Wyoming, the first in line, tle presidents salute of 21 guns h. omed across the water and reverberated back and forth between the Palisades and New Yorks skyscrapers.

 FORD TO LOSE.

London, May lS.-The British press telegraphing under date of May 10, sends a description of the first stage of the operations of the allied troo IS against the Turks, which. he says has come to an end. He testifies to the splendid work already achieved by the allies in successfully landing and es- tablishing themselves in the face of tremendous opposition. They are now before Atchi Baba, about five miles up the Gallipoli peninsula
 This is the first of the commandine positions on which the Turko-German force can take a stand before We are able to move up the Gallipoli benin sula and command the northern shore of the narrows,' says the dispatch.
 There must be no false illusion as to the big task before the allies. The war here is question of how many men you can afford to lose to capture each trench and each lilometer of soil. Victory is only to be gained by more men and a continuous supTly of ammunition.
 "The positions already won prove that the Turk was justified in beHev. ing his positions were impregnable.
 "The navy has achieved fine or. eanization for the landing of a con- tinuous supply of men and munitions Piers have been built ont into deep water so that the largest lighters can come alongside, Roads nave been cut along the cliffs to increase the area of disembarkation and a hundred de- vices have been utilized Co assist in the efficiency Al night the southern end of the Gallipol peninsula. for merly deserted and barren has the appearance 4 one Of the worlds great est pousAcIhere are masses of lights on shore ai thoueh several towns have sprunN ua while at sea a hun dred great ansports and many war snlp are lked outside the defiant straits"

New York, May 17.-President Will son-th man on whom the eyes of the world~are turned because of the -nteL6fi nal situation-today review ed the Atlantic fleet in the Hudson and at a luncheon rendered to him on shore by the city of New York told distinguished gathering of navy of ficers, army officers and civilians what the country and its navy stood for. The great battleships that lay in the river, he said, were engines to promote the interests of humanity"
 The inspiring thing about Amer ica," the president asserted, lis that she asks nothing for herself except what she mad a right to ask for hu- manity itself We want no nations property; we wish to question no na- lions honor; we wish to stand selfish ly in the way of the devel pment of no nation . 1t is not pretensiOn on our part to say that we are privii eged to stand for what every nation would wish to stand for anu speak for those things which all humanity must de- Sire"
 The spirit which bro ded over the river today, said the president. was just a solemn evidence that the force of America is the force of moral prin- ciple that there is not anything else she loves and that there is not any thing else for which she will contend"
 The president took occasion in his speech to pay tribute to Secretary of the Navy Daniels who sat beside him.
 Adhougn the day was damp and chilly with occasionally downDours of rain, the weather abated in no way the enthusiasm with which New York greeted the head of the nation. In the forenoon he reviewed a land pa rade of 5000 sailors and marines from the fleets l6 battleshps and fir m the moment he set foot on shore until after the luncheon he returned to the Mayflower to review the fleet his progress through the streets was a continuous ovation He was plainly touched by the welcome accorded him.
 Everywhere the spirit of patriotism was in evidence. Many men and wo- men seized every opportunity to tell the president of their support in the present international crisis Thou sands stood in the chill drizzle while the brigade of sailors and marines marched mp Fifth avenue and during

Washington, May 17-Germany is expected to answer the American note of last Friday before the end of this week. Ambassador Gerard cab!ed the state department today that he had read the document to Herr Von Jagow, the foreign minister, Saturday morn ing, and that an early reply would be forthcoming.
 The ambassador was given no intl- nation of the feeling of the German government. He was assured merely that the subject would receive consid- eratioin by the higher officials and that a reply would be ready soon. In- asnuch as the press had not been permitted to publish the text of the note the ambassador also was unable to report on the state of public opin- ion toward it.

Senator Grattan, according to the rec ords, dd so vote
 MT. Barnes made no secret of the fact that he was opposed to the Hin man-Green direct primaries bill, and he swore that the $20,000 claim he as- signed to the Albany Jaurnal Company was not as stated in the minute book of that corporation, for salary owed him by James B. Lyon, founder of the Albany Printing Company, which bears his name but in reality was a debt owed to him by Mir. Lyon for contract for public printing which the plaintiff purchased from the bidder who had secured it and then re-sold.
 Mr. Barnes said that orders for printing given out by the clerk of the assembly were considered Legitimate patronage" Patronage, the witness defined as being anything given by favor" He said he at no time con- sidered he should be especially favor ed, but he did object to being dis criminated against in the matter of public printing MT. Barnes wrote letter to Thomas C. Platt and claimed that the clerk was about to deprive him "of a piece of legitimate patron age"

 The strain of waiting for definite news of Italy's intentions with regard to the war has been somewhat re- lieyed by the statement that nothing further is to be done until parliament meets next Thursday. Meantime spe- cial trains are reported to be in readi. ness to take the German and Austrian ambassadors out of the country. The German press is plainly gloomy over the situation.

STOCK SPECTATOR
JUST COULDN'T LOSE
Wonderful Success Led to Dis.
covery Of Exchange Swind-
ling Game.

NEW YORK, July 2.-The operations
of a'mysterious Stock Exchange specu-
lator who never lost aroused such in
terest in Wall Street that one of tho
neatest swtndling games worked In
years has been brought to light.
The game was original and involved
more than $4,000. Some. weeks ago a
telephone boy employed by an odd lot
house presented at his office letter
from u man uptown in which was en-
closed check for $1,000. The writer
asked that the Arm take his orders
from the telephone boy. The boy
worked in collusion with a messenger
employed on the floor Of the New York
Stock Exchange. This messenger on
busy days was employed by the odd
lot broker to help him on his orders.
The messenger substituted buying for
selling orders and vice versa where
such substitution would do most good
by the telephone boy. Z,
The scheme worked beautifully and
would probably be working yet except
that the swindlers made 1t too perfect
and never took q loss. After a time
the odd lot brokers became suspicious
and interested as to the Identity Of the
speculntor.
An investigation followed and the cul-
prits lost their Jobs. The problem now
before the exchange authorities Is the
disposal of the winnings which remain
in the account. 1t is believed that the
person who was supposed to have
opened tho $1,000 account is a myth.
