Rear Admiral E. ". Eberle, in COM
mand of Division Five, was until few
months ago superintendent of the Naval
Academy. Captain 7. j. Semi of the
North Dakota was until the latter part
of October assistant chief of the Bureau
of Navigation. Rear Admiral Hugh
Rodman was in command of forces of
the coast of France during the war, the
New York being his flagship. Captain
Twining of the Texas was throughout
the war one of the principal aids to
Admiral W. S. Benson, chief of opera
tons Captain L. r. de Steigeur Of the
Arkansas was, until his present appoint
ment, chief of staff to Rear Admiral n.
R. Usher, of the Third District.
Every man who was with the feet on
the other side will remember the Texas

decides to exhibit it on her visit to New
York it will be one of the curiosities

out to sea it looked long enough to
reach around the State of Texas.
The visit of the New Mexico will be
interesting for the fact that it will bring

Captain ". A. Moffett, commanding
officer of the Mississippi, will ever be
remembered as the man who put the

under his administration that the Great

boys, who made good wherever they were

w THEN the great Atlantic fleet

w the lower bay next Tuesday
and majestically steams to its
anchorage in the Hudson it will present
to New York ard the nation the greatest
array Of seahghting forces ever wit
messed in America.
All the more significant and to be
appreciated by those privileged to behold
the spectacle will it be, moreover, since
it will bring before the vision in massed
formation those giant dreadnoughts, the
scarcely less formidable battleships, the
cruisers, thedispatch boats and last, but
in the matter Of results achieved, best
and most effective of all, the torpedo
boats and submarine chasers-"vipers of
the sea"--which along the coasts of
Britain and Ireland and France and far
flung down the Mediterranean coast,
united with the navies of Great Britain
and France to make certain the fate of
The Hun.
America has already welcomed with a
plenitude which gives the lie to that
maxim about the ingratitude of republics

Now comes the tribute to the men who

marks the beginning of the demonstra-

served under his command

December. The complete armada now

On the eve of the departure of this
Victory Fleet from the other side Sir
David Beatty, commander in chief of the
British Grand Fleet, paid this high com
pilment to the departing Americans:

squadron come over, because up until
that time the feeling in naval circles was
that there were some chances for a ma

were slight. After the arrival of the
Sixth Battle Squadron we felt that they

Every minute of the day and night
the ships were required to be ready for
immediate action with the enemy No
matter to what point the ships were or
dered, wartime watch was maintained
on the decks and the gun crews were
standing by.
Rear Admiral Rodman, commanding
the Sixth Division of the Sixth Battle
Squadron, which was the official desig-
nation of the American fleet, thus
graphically describes the nature of the
duties to which the Americans were
assigned
"As one of the two so-called fast
wings he says, eve would take station
at the head or rear of the whole battle
ship force when going into action. AS
a matter of fact, on one occasion, when
we came within few miles of cutting
off from its base and engaging the Ger
man fleet, the disposition was such that
the American battleship division would
have been in the van and have led into
action had the enemy not avoided ac-
ton and taken refuge behind his de-
fences, as usual, before we could catch
him.
at was our policy to go after him
every time he showed his nose outside
of his ports, no matter when or where
whether in single ships by DIVISION or
his whole feet-out we went. day or
night, rain or shine land there was
mighty little daylight and much less
shine in the winter months blow high

Is First Reception
To Little Scrappers

incidentally, while the men of the
dreadnoughts and battleships, for the
most part, enjoyed the hospitality of
New ork last December, when Admiral
Mayo brought the big fellows home. the
reception which will begin in New York
on tuesday will be the first recognition
which the boys of the little scrappers
have received since the United States en-
tered the war
Following the arrival of the Liberty
Fleet in European waters forty sub
marines we're disposed of. Mavbe not
all by the Americans. But with their
coming the submarine gradually ceased
to be factor. And while the little
fellows conveyed and rescued and
darted hither and yon after the sub
marines - getting them, too - the big
fellows. augmenting the Grand Fleet of
the Allies, gave that final weight and
number which made the result newt
able. The grim silent. logged watch
followed. With the big policeman
just outside the door. the criminal
dared not venture out His morals
sAgEed. His sea power lay limp and
useless. Like withefed arm And all
the while on land the slow, grinding
process was under way which eventu-
ated IN the afmistiee and that epoeh-
marking event in naval warfare when
the sea might and power of great
nation was sullenly relinquished TO the
enemy, without a single shot having
been exchanged.
The part the American ships would
have played in the major battle for which
all hands had hoped is Indicated by the
position Admiral Rodman indicates thew
held IN the line. Six of the ships which
are due in New York on Tuesday served
in this line of honor. These are the New
York, Texas, Wyoming, Arkansas. Flor

first of the German ships surrendered;
and there was not a. day in between that
they were not ready for fight at the drop
of the hat; and there is not man on the
returning ships who will not agree that
a fight is preferable at any tine to
standing with guns primed and ready at
the gateway through which the foe is
afraid to emerge.
AS ever with the navy, it was on the
job just little ahead of the opening
of the show March "a, 1917, Admiral
Sims accompanied by Commander J. V.
Babcock, sailed out of New York under
assumed names, bound for Europe, to
look over the situation. Any one who
knows those two gallant officers is aware
that they had no taste for that secret
maneuvre. Far better, in the view of
all navy men, to have sailed out-the
full feet "being-battle flags dashed to
the masthead, full speed ahead and
straight for Heligoland Blight.

to those named, however, all saw service
on the battle line The Arizona arrived
IN the zone just after the armistice was
signed. All participated in the surren-
der of the German fleet.
The visit of the feet will bring to New
York more than 10000 men and officers
who saw active service in European wat
ers during the war. Of the more dis
tinguished officers, aside from Admiral
Sims, Admiral Mayo, Admiral Rodman
and those heretofore named, there stand
out the commander Of the Pennsylvania

appointment to the higher command

necessity which forbade them more than
like warm meals, warm suit, bath or
d shave. was luxury not to be INDUCED
in until the job had been put over.
Major Randolph Coyle, of the Marine
Corps, who saw active service with the
feet throughout the war, says of the
men who served on the submarine
chasers:
These men have stood on open decks
while the cold winter hurricanes of the
North Sea tossed their craft about like
so many corks. Waves would dash over
the tiny vessels with such force that it
often became necessary for men on
watch 10 rope themselves to the decks
It was rare trip when the men were
not required to put in two hours out of
every six, day after day. Meals were
out of the question, for on those ships
it is impossible to cook when the sea gets
up a bit. Canned soups, cold, and canned
meats were all that the men could get.
Coffee was generally made before the
ship left port, and this was dished out
as long as it lasted. After that nothing
resembling coffee appeared on the hap
hazard menus.
"Ordinarily the ships schedule called
for five days at sea and two hours in
port, with those two hours Of rest put to
overhaulng the ship for the next deep
sea jaunt. If an S o S message came
in, or if a submarine was reported in
nearby section, the ship would be or
dered out Immediately. When a division
of destroyers was on duty, it would
leave France or Ireland to meet CONVOY
of transports about 300 miles at sea. The
destroyers would form a V-shaped pro-
lection running in front of the troop
ships. Always they threw up a heavy
smoke screen as they zigzagged their
course into port ="

America Acted While
Germany Wondered

Which would have been magnificent,
but not war as it is now played, for as
it turned out, the war which was ex-
pected broke after Sims and his COM
panion had landed safely in England,
and the plans for America S naval par
tlcipation IN the struggle had already
been formulated and the ships were en-
route before Germany fully realized that
the might of the United States had at
last been entered against her.
Of the events which followed on the
sea, SO Secretly did the powers move
there is yet no complete and accurate
record. Locked up in the records of the
Navy Department, in process of slow
compilation by a force of twenty his
torians, is the full story of what the
navy did But we know from what is
no longer a secret that Germany at the
period of our entrance into the war had
reached the apex of her success, and par
tlcularly on the sea; though her Grand
Fleet was not venturing out, her mas
terry through the relentless use of the
U-boats was virtually complete.
When the United States entered the
war the Allies were at the end Of their
resources.
What followed, when it is told in de-
tail, will add another brilliant chapter
TO the everlasting glory Of the American
navy. How, on land, tie throttle was
thrown wide open and the signal for full
speed ahead was given in navy yard,
factory, boiler and machine shop-how
the flower of American manhood donned
the blue of the seaighter, and all the
ingenuity, power, might and resource of
the nation were thrown into the task of
indicating the traditions of the navy.
