WARSHIP FLEET TO
STAYIN ATLANTIC
Trip Through Panama Canal Aban-
doned for the Time at Least.
OFFICIALS KEEP SILENT.
An Accident Night Happen to War
ships to Prevent Action in Case Of
Emergency.

II has been decided by the Adminis-
tration that the battleship fleet shall
be held in eastern waters instead of
being sent through the canal to the
Pacific as planned. While there is
no official authority for the statement.
il is believed that decision to this
effect was reached at Tuesdays meet
ing in Washington.
No admission has been made in OH
cial quarters that the present compli-
cations in foreign AFFAIRS had any
thing to do with the determination to
keep the feet in Atlantic waters. II
is assumed that an authoritative an
nouneement as to the disposition of the
fleet is being withheld in order TO pre-
vent the possibility of exciting appre-
tensions in the United States and
arousing sentiment abroad that might
interfere with the diplomatic negotia-
tions now in progrss between this gov
ernment and Europe.
Aside from the decision that the flee,
shall be continued in Atlantic waters
there is no evidence at either the
Navy or War Department. that this

any foreign power

waters for the war games II was
said at the War Department this week
that no unusual orders have been is
sued in the past twemy-four hours and
business in that branch of the military
service is proceeding along the usual
lines
While the Secretary Of the Navy
made no announcement that the plans
to send the feet through the canal had
been abandoned, he indicated by his
manner that he was not as sanguine a.
he was eailier in the week that the
naval demonstration In the waterway
would go through in accodance with
schedule Secretary Daniels had
conference with Capt. Hugh Rodman,
the naval commander at Panama.
Mr.. Daniels said that Captain Rod
man made a verbal report that corrob-
GRATED in every detail the suggestions
made by General Goethals as to the
physical difficulty in the way of trans
ferring the battIeships aud auxiliary
vessels by way of the canal under the
present conditions.
It was pointed out by officials within
the Administration who believe i'm
maintaining some degree OF protec-
ton that in the present troubled con-
dition of world affairs it would be
blunder that might be followed by Sc
! rious consequences TO move the feet at
this time. An accident might happen
to some of the warships in the canal
or slide of enormous proportions
might prevent their return to the At
lantic by the same route in the case
