sand bar where he river pours into

returned home last Sunday with his

The Roumanian cx.soldiers are a pref

cording to young Howard. Many were
! barefooted as they worked on the docks
and clad in .gunny sacks. Some wore
moccasns made out of goat skins. As
tho mouth Of the Danube is not 50 very
far from Russia, most Of the Rouman-

become bolsheviks.

At Gibraltar, where the cargo ship
was stationed for 30 days, the sailors
had shore leave ovegy other night It
was near Gibraltar that he witnessed
q genuine Spanish bull fight, paying

II was at this one fight that he saw
2j horses killed, bulls killed and two
torreadors injured. Just TO tease the
bull into a good fighting humor, horses
are led into the arena, Howard said,
with the eye bandaged next to the bull.
When the enraged bull saw the horse,

Great Armada Passes In Re-
UieW Before Secretary Dan
iels Off ~ Diego Harbor.

San Diego, Cal, Aug. 7.-tbV :"
Press.)--Th Pacific fleet, a reality Z
last, is On the job.
The fstific coast dream OF a gen,
grafton, her insistent demand of two
decades and her great expectation IN
the past few weeks, were all realized
shortly after 9 o'clock this morning,
when the newly created western arma-
da, with its new commander, Admiral
Hugh Rodman, on the bridge of his
flagship, the New Mexico, swGns ma
jestieally past in review before Seere-
tary Of Navy Joscphus Daniels. The
ceremony marking the official entry Of
the fleet into its newly assigned nome
waters took place off Coronado beach,
just outside San Diego harbor.
Following the review, in which the
fleet steamed past the Montana, from
which the secretary of the navy haG
broken out his flag, all Of the vessels
with the exception of the giant dead
naughts, entered the harbor and took
up anchorage positions.
The six dreadnaughts dropped their
anchors off Coronado Islands and will
not attempt to enter the harbor, despite
the endeavors of San Diegans to have
at least the flagship, the New Mexico
berthed inside. Admiral Rodman gave
as his official reason for keeping his
first line ships outside the fact that
the harbor would be pretty well filled
= with smaller craft Of the fleet. Naval
men, however, put over quito bll Of
fleet propaganda by letting il be known
that the commander was disinCllntd TO
take sny chances until congress mas seen
to certain harbor improvements, Nhich
naval men regard as necessary at San
Diego.
This same condition is said TO exist at
a number of other Pacific coast ports
which will be given long distance
look by the big ships and a hint to
have their congressman get busy if they
desire closer view.
The fleet completed its rendezvous,
following its trip through the Panama
canal, off the Coronado Islands yes,cr-
