Washington, Aug. 6.?The greal

will result from the junction of th
reorganized Atlantic and Pacifi
v fleets off the Pacific coast nex
January under plans now being pre
- pared by naval operations. Th
great naval spectacle probably wil
be staged in the vicinity of th
Gulf of Panama.
Officials of the Navy Departmen
say the proposed mobilization wi]

neuvers. No effort will be made t
concentrate all of the nation's nava
strength and only ships regularly ii

nature, including unofficial
a athletic competitions between representatives
of the two fleets and of
inlivilual ships. The main object of
^ the mobilization will be to give officers
and men an opportunity to
compare notes and meet for a few

'vessels, particularly of destroyer?,
submarines, light cruisers, aerial
forces and fleet auxiliaries made it
impossible to concentrate a well
rounded out fleet although the
major portion of the battleship
force meets each winter at Guantanamo,
Cuba, for target practice and
'drills.
During the war the shortage in
^ost types of small vessels, notably
J destroyers and submarines, was
overcome, but the entire fleet was
i
.never mobilized, due to the use of
practically all light craft in the war
zone, the detail of cruisers to escort
I
(duty and the fact that a consideration
portion of the battleship force
j-was on duty abroad much of the
time.
The January maneuvers will set a
inew mark in American naval progress.
For the first time in the history
of the new navy the battleship
fleet will be supported by a reasonably
adequate number of destroyers
and other light craft. Submarines
will be available in abundance, together
with sufficient naval aircraft
for all tactical purposes and a fully
rounded out fleet of auxiliary vessels.
The total number of vessels beparticipate
will depend on the pro- j
gress of recruiting, as many ships
are in reserve now for lack of
crews, but it is probable that Ad
miral Wilson will command at least
300 vessels of all types.
The most modern of dreatfnaughts
to participate in the maneuvers will
je the. great Tennessee. The last '
vorl in naval construction, this!
I
*reat floating fortress displaces j
52,000 tons, carries 12 fourteen .
nch guns and is propelled by elec;ric
turbines. The Tennessee is atached
to the Atlantic fleet. A sister j
ship, the California, probably will
lot be completed in time to join
\dmiral Rodman's force before the
naneuvers. ? ;
Eighteen single calibre gun
ships classed as dreadnaughts will
>e available for the January maneuvers
that were not completed in
.910. They have a combined dis>lacement
of 445,000 tons and a
:ombined gun power of 112 fourteen
inch guns, 80 twelves, 226 five
nch anl 28 three inch.

Host of the battleships listed asj
tvailable in 1910 are now considerid
obsolete. a*
Ten'years ago the navy destroyer ;"W
'orce consisted of about 38 vessels p]
ncluding 17 torpedo boat even then ; =
>ractically bbsolete. This year Ad- j
nirals Wilson and Rodman com- j
nanl destroyer forces aggregating nore
than 200 vessels, with overj
LOO more in reserve or under con- j _
>truction. In 1910 16 submarines |
vere carried on the active list of |
;he navy. This year nearly 100 of j"
;he submersibles are attached to the
;wo fleets, with about 75 more un- _
ler consruction.
The cruiser strength of the navy
tias shown little change in the past
ten years. In 1910 the backbone of
the cruiser force was the "big
eight" armored cruisers, now re-1
duced to six by the loss of the San
Diego and the Memphis. No light
cruisers of importance -have been
launched in the last decade.
One of the most striking increases
in American naval strength
in the past ten years has been in
auxiliary vessels. Both the Atlantic
and, Pacific Fleets now hive well or-;
ganized and complete "trains" of
hospital ships, supply boats, repair
vessels, refrigerating ships, ammunition
and fuel ships, in addition tc
motor patrol vessels, submarine
chasers, mine sweepers and mine
layers, converted yachts, submarine
and destroyer tenders and
troop transports, practically unireamed
of a decade ago.
