Pacific Fleet Due i'm
Harbor To-day for
.VisitLastingg Month
Historic Chicago to Lead
Fighting Craft in Annual
Inspection of Broadway

Uncle Sans Pacific fleet, headed by
the historic Chicago, the oldest bat
tleship in active service, will arrive
in New York Harbor tomorrow morn
ing for its annual glimpse of Broad
way.
With the flagship Chicago will come
the cruisers Denver, Tacoma and
Cleveland, along with the lesser craft
that make up the fighting organization.
They will reach the lower harbor early
IN the morning., according to the
schedule made up yesterday, and sail
up to their mooring places at Ninety
sixth Street some time before noon.
The welcome to the men of the Pa
citic fleet, who did as much to keep
the ocean lanes cleared of submarines
during the war as did any other fight
ers Of either the United States or
British navy, will be of the unofficial
variety. Everybody on the ships, from
Rear Admiral S. S. Wood on down.
made it plain that It was vacation
trip-a play day fer Jacl1-and that
formal receptions would not be well
coined.
So it was agreed that as soon as the
mudhooks of the cruisers were heaved
over the sides ton nrrow morning as
many men as ship regulations would
permit would be given shore leave.
Waiting ferries will carry them to the
wharves and, on alternate days during
the entire months stay of the fleet
here, half Of the personnel of the fleet
will be seen in the city.
The Chicago, Admiral Woods flag
ship, has seen as much service as any
ship in the United States Navy. 1t was
flagship of the famous White squadron,
the beginning of the present modern
navy. 1t was launched in 1885, when
its 4,5O0-ton displacement marked it as
giant among fighting ships. Later,
flying the flag of Rear Admiral John
u. Walker, 1t became famous as one of
the most efficient and beautiful of the
feet.
The Chicago was flagship Of the sub
marine force at the beginning Of the
war. Later, however, when every avail
able ship carrying big guns was requi-
sitioned for convoy service, it was
added to the convoy fleet. In Sep
TENDER, 1918, it conveyed the first
United States submarines across the
Atlantic to the Azores. She continued
in this capacity until the signing of
the armistice.
After Germany was disarmed and
the teeth Of the Teuton marine fighters
had been drawn, the Chicago and the
rest of the Pacific feet went to South
America. In April all the ships re-
turned to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for
target practice and athletic events.
The Chicago proceeded to Boston, then
to St. Johns, Newfoundland, where it
awaited the arrival of the navy dirigi-
BILE, C-5.
Visitors may go aboard ships Of the
feet from 3 to o'clock each after
noon, week days, and from l o'clock to
5 o'clock on Saturdays and Sundays
The Ninety-sixth Street landing will
be used by all the ships Of the fleet.

Among the salon travellers was
Brigadier General w. w. Atterbury
who had full charge of the entire
transportation in France. He left his
duties as vice-prcsident of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in 1917 to direct
the rail tran sportation of the A. f. F.
At one time he had more than three
thousand officers assigned to him
When he left France his departm ent
was working, he said, with 1910 officers
and 10000 men.
General Atterbury said he would
seek discharge from the army as
quickly as possible, and, after short
vacation, would resume his duties
with the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Another traveller was Miss Elsie
Janis, who had been for a year with
the A. E. F. as an entertainer. She
gave 610 performances. On her trips

The Tarrytown Fire Department
turned out to meet Miss Janis at the
railroad station, and she was driven
through the streets to her home atop
motor hook and ladder truck. The
noise that accompanied the procession
was not unlike that accorded a troop
ship coming up the river.

Work of Eighty-nine Ships

Of the 100000 troops brought home
from overseas this month vessels oper-
ated by the cruiser and transport
force of the navy carried more than
100000, it was announced here yester-
day at the Office Of Vice Admiral AL
bert Gleaves. This represents the
work of eighty-nine ships, former Ger
man liners, converted froighters, cat
tie ships and cruisers fitted out as
transports. Several of the ships, in
Guiding the Leviathan and the Great
Northern, made two round trips dur
ing the month. AS to the number of
troops carried since the armistice was
signed, the Leviathan leads, followed
by the Manchuria, the America and the
Agamemnon, in the order named.

lire for the full length Of the terrestrial
wire running from pole to pole. If we
have too many such "taps" we introduce
what electricians call a choke" and such
chokes are not desirable.
It should be remembered that a tre-
mendous power could be obtained from
each power house, which could then be
used as a distributing centre Of power for
a radius Of a thousand miles.
It is interesting to note that this earth
armature" forms what you might call a
uni-polar dynamo. In other words, there
are not two fields as in the usual dynamo.
The reason is that the sun shines only on
one-haIf of the earth at any given moment,
and consequently the efficiency Of the
"sun-earth armature" is greatly reduced,
but on account Of the huge size Of the ter
restrial armature we need not be con-
cerned about the loss of efficiency. We
will have enough power to spare, and as
we run the wire continuously without end,
thus encompassing the globe, We will de-
rive thereby certain benefits. For one
thing. we will get power while it is night
as we'll as during the day. The reason, Of
course, is that as the wire is continuous,
running around the poles from the dark
side to the light side, there must Of ueces-
sity be current IN each wire strand no

as Il may appear at present
Right here the writer wishes to make au
interesting reelection, whica may shed new
light on the mysteries Of the Martian
canals.
As Is well known the oceans on Mars
have dried out aeons ago, and the only
water now available is that from the poles.
The fact that the MaTtian canals exist Is
40 longer doubted even by the most re,
llgious astronomer Furthermore, the re-
markable fact Of the Marian canals is
that the great majority OF them run
north and south, bringing the water from
the north or south, depending upon the
season. In one season the waters run
south, climb up over the equator and run
north, The same thing occurs the next
season in a reverse manner No one
doubts to-day that these canals are parts
OF an enormous irrigation system which
supplies water to the desert inlands. We
do not see the actual canals, but the
straight lines which we see are simply
evidences Of vegetation on each side OF
the banks Of the canal which have their
origin in the water Of these very canals.
This explanation has never been seri-
ously doubted, but the hard nut to crack
was, how is it possible for the waters in
the Martian canals to run up hill contrary
to all experience that we know on earth?
Would it not be possible for the Mar
tians TO use their canals exactly as in the
scheme outlined for the "earth-armature"
above? It makes no difference in an arma-
lure if we have it wound full wire or
whether we use a rubber hose filed with
a conductive liquid, such as salt water.
In other words, is it not possible that
the Martians use these canals not only to
bring the waters into the deserts but to
TAP the suns power as we'll? The network
of the Martian canals running north and
south would make such a scheme extraor-
dinarily feasible. If the waters coming
from the polar region are not already sa-
line it would be 4 simple matter for the
Martians by means Of their salt deposits
to fll the canals with salt, and this would
not have to be done every day either, for
