Thousands Watch
Warships Depart
FLEET PASSED IN REVIEW OF
PRESIDENT WILSON.
SUCCESSFUL DISPLAY
It Required Just 20 Minutes for En-
tire Fleet to Pass the Presidential
Yacht, Which Was Anchored Off the
Statue of Liberty.

New York, May 18.-The gray war
ships of the Atlantic fleet steamed out
to sea today, passing in review before
the President of the United States,
who watched the vessels from the
Presidential yacht, Mayf1ower, anchor
ed in the bay, and hundreds of thous-
ands of persons lined Riverside drive
and the Hudson river shore down to
the Battery, stood on the roofs of
the Office buildings and factories or
leaned over the rails of excursion
steamers and yachts, to watch the ma
tion's naval fighting contingent go out
to sea~Anding the most successful re-
view New York has seen.
Column of 16 BattIeships.
The long gray column of sixteen
battleships followed by the submarines
and smaller craft, all led by the giant
Wyoming, flying the flag of Admiral
Fletcher, required just twenty min
utes to pass the Mayf1ower, lying at
anchor off the statue of Liberty, with
an attenant flotilla of destroyers and
dispatch boats. During those twenty
minutes each ship fired a national sa-
lutte of twenty guns. The bark of
the one-pounders echoed long over
the harbor and reverberated back
from the skyscraper walls to the east
ward.
The Thanks of the Fleet.
One of the last things Admiral
Fletcher did, after passing in review,
was to send a wireless message to the
Acting Mayor, George McAneny,
through Rear Admiral Usher COM
maudant of the Brooklyn Navy yard,
thanking him, as representative of the
city, on behalf of the men of the fleet,
for the royal good time they had had.
The message read:
"The Atlantic fleet is leaving the
harbor for manoeuvres at sea- Will
you please inform the mayor that the
officers and men of the fleet desire to
reiterate their sincere appreciation of
hospitalities extended to them by the
citizens of New York city, which have
made the visit of the fleet a memorable
one, and will leave lasting impress
sion upon US all.
FLETCHER"
Little Cheering by Crowds.
There was little cheering by the
crowds who watched the passage Of
enthusiasm shown yesterday for the
President and the land parade The
people seemed to view the imposing
display of power with a self-restraint,
perhaps. in part due to the lesson
pounded home yesterday by President
Wilson, not only in his speech at
the Biltmore luncheon, but even more
effectively by his demeanor and atti-
tude before the crowds during the
public movements. For the most part
the watchers view the ponderous COL
umn with a sentiment that approached
awe. For it did not require an active
imagination to discern the tremen-
dous power in that array. of strength.
