Bisbee daily review., 1918-12-26

clalmlnB IOr tle WuOle udliOu luS Homecoming fleet and it is predicted that the review and land parade to- morrow will go down in history as the greatest spectacle of it's kind this half of the world has ever known.
 Arizona Leads Parade
 When the long column of fighting ships, led by the Arizona, enters the narrows tomorrow morning and moves to the anchorage berths in the Hud- son, it will be escorted by an aerial fleet of 21 seaplanes and two dirigi- bles from the naval air station at Rockaway.
 Besides these aircraft, the fleet will be accompanied by three kite balloons. One lowed by the Gloucester, and fly ing at a height of 800 feet, will move nearly a mile ahead of the Arizona, while behind the Florida, the last ship in line, will be lowed the other two.
 Whistles Are Ready
 Every factory whistle for miles around has received final inspection, so that they should not fail to speak their welcome. It is expected that not a square foot of soil on the heights of Brooklyn or Staten Island will be vacant while millions will throng both banks of the Hudson to hail the re- turning ships as they come to anchor.
 At New York the overseas fleet will find awaiting to greet it great battle ships of the home fleet and many swift destroyers which have been do- ing convoy and patrol duty in Amer jean waters during the war. This home fleet is tonight anchored in the Hudson.
 Reviewing Party Stationed
 At the Statue of Liberty, to the west of the main channel. will be stationed the presidential yacht Mayflower, car rying Secretary Daniels, who arrived here tonight from Washington for the review. Aboard will be other members of the cabinet. army and navy off cers of high rank and other distin- guished guests.
 Behind the Mayflower will be anch- ored the Aztec, bearing Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, the naval com mittees of the senate and house, Rear Admiral Burrage, and foreign mili- tary and naval officers. In line with the Aztec will be the naval press boat Xarifa and several other steamers carrying city officials and their guests.
 Will Fire Salute
 The Arizona will reach the May flower at about 10 o'clock according to an official announcement tonight by Vice-Admiral Grant. As each vessel passes the secretary's ship, it will fire 19 guns in Mir Daniels honor and the Mayflower will roar it's reply.
 Admiral Mayo's flagship, the Penn sylvania, will be preceded besides the Arizona, by the Oklahoma, Nevada and Utah Then will follow the New York. Texas, Arkansas. Wyoming and Florida and in this order they will anchor in line six miles long stretch ing from 18th to 175th street.
 Then the fleet will full dress ship with the men lining the rails and bril- liant colored pennants floating from lanyards run to the mastheads. The Mayflower will circle the entire fleet. reviewing it at anchorage. The sa- lutes will be repeated and from each craft will come the strains of the Star Spangled Banner" played by the ships band.
 Reception by Daniels
 The Mayflower will then anchor at the foot of sgd street and Secretary Daniels will receive Admiral Mayo and the commanding officers of the various ships, who will come along side in their launches.
 Meanwhile contingents from each ship of the overseas fleet, numbering 10000 men in all. will debark for New Works first postwar parade. Through streets gayly decorated with flags and bunting, the sailors will proceed along Broadway to 59th street, across the Fifth avenue and march down that historic thorough fare under the arch of Victory at Madison Square. At 23d street. the column will turn toward the Hudson river. embarking for the various ships.
 Will Illuminate Ships
 At dusk each ship will be outlined brilliantly with strings of electric lights. Every turret. heavy gun and mast will stand out in blaze of light
