INTERNATIONAL CRISIS
KEEPS fleet At HOME
Atlantic Battleships Will Be Held in
Eastern Waters Instead of
Going to Pacific.

As a result Of the pending international
crisis, it has been decided by the admin
istration that the Atlantic battleship fleet
shall be held in Eastern waters instead
of being sent through the canal to the
Pacific as planned by the Secretary Of the
Navy. No admission has been made in
official quarters that compiled tons in for
eign affairs had anything to do with this
determination. 1t is assumed that ar
authoritative announcement is being
withheld to prevent apprehensions in the
United States and a sentiment abroad
that might interfere with the diploma tic
negotia tions between this government
and Europe.
Secretary Daniels had a conference yes

of transferring the hattleships and aux
Hilary vessels by way Of the canal under
present conditions.
However, these are not the considera-
tions that had weight with the admins
tration In deciding to keep the fleet in
Eastern waters. 1t was pointed, out by
officials within the administration who
believe in maintaining some degree of
preparations that in the present troubled
state of world affairs 1t would be a
blunder that might be followed by SEN
Gus consequences to move the feet at
this time. Consideration was given q
suggc stion that an accident might happen
TO some of the warships in the canal. or
that slide Of enormous proportions
might follow their transfer that Nigh,
prevent a quick return journey by the
same route in case of an emergency.
