WASHINGTON, June 25.-Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels hopes to make the
trip to the Pacific on the flagship New
Mexico Of the new Pacific feet, which
VIII leave Atlantic ports between the

erauons Admiral Wilson will command
the Atlantic feet, with the dreadnousht
pennsylvania as his flagship. Admiral

The plan Of Secretary Daniels has
been to have both fleets as nearly as
possible equal In fighting strength. Each
will be composed Of the modern all big
gun battleships and an equal proportion
OF lighter and auxiliary craft. This
means, It is explained, that the Pacific
coast Is for the first time to have real
fighting feet capable Of handling almost
any emergency The two fleets will,
however, be able to Join forces within a
period of two weeks. Mr.. Daniels ex-
planned, so that the bulk Of the Amer
ican naval force is really not divided
In military sense.
At least twice a year the Navy De-
partment plans to bring the two fleets
together for competitive war games.
Both fleets will meet annually at Guam
tanamo for target practice and ma
nuuvres
Experience shows that navies are in
clined to go stale after every war" Mr.
Daniels said to-day, and we hope to
guard against this in the American
Navy"
One OF the objects OF Secretary Dam
iels's trip to tho Pacific is to study the
general situation on the Pacific coast
and to visit San Diego with naval ex-
perts. who will inspect plans for the
