GREAT FLEET IS
SEEN VI It!
THE AMERICAN GUARDIANS OF
THE SEA ANCHORED IN
HUDSON.
SECOND IN WORLD'S POWER
Mightiest Armada This Country Has
Ever Assembled New York's
Millions Accord Fighters
a
.Fittinp-
Welcome.
o
New
York. Dee. 2G. Riding at
in the Hudson tonight were
twenty-one pupor - dreadnaughts,
dr'adnaughts. ships of the line,
cruisers, destroyers, and a host of
jmaller craft, the mightiest Ameri
can armada ever assembled. Ten
oT the floating fortresses steamed
into the harbor today after eighteen
Months' service overseas with
lieatty's grand fleet. The ' others
are the flower of the North Atlan
tic fleet. Grim guardians of a
great nation, they symbolized that
the United States has become the
second naval power cf the world.
In the teeth of a northwester, in
the chill of a driving snowstorm,
millions waited hours until the ten
battleships of the home-coming
armada appeared. This was New
York's and the nations trilmte to
the -:hips, far more eloquent than
the greatest din of whistles, bells
and human voices. The vocal wel
come came later when the rugged,
weather-beaten tars who manned
tne ships debarked and. with Sec
retary Daniels and Admiral Mayo
at their head, marched down Fifth
avenue in the country's first great
victory parr.de.
Wounded Soldiers Help Welcome.
Leading civilians in the cheering
were wounded soldiers returned
from France. With the memory of
their own first anxious voyage still
fresh in their minds they paid un
stinted tribute to brothers in arms
who had guarded them across the
Atlantic.
Passing in review before the sec
retary of the navy, of the statue of
Liberty, the homecoming ships loom
ed suddenl yout of the mist and as
rapidly disappeared. They seemed
almost like phantom craft. grim,
gray majestic in the silent night.
But as they dropped anchor the
skies cleared and they stood reveal
ed in holiday a;t-r. abl?;e from
stem to stern with multi-colored
pennants. To many of those who
lined the snores this flash of sun
shine symbolized the light of peace
which awaited the fleet after the
gloom of war from which it had
emerged.
Moving at only ten knots an hour
the Arizona, was the first dread
naught to pass the presidential
yacht Mayflower, on whose bridge
stood Mr. Daniels and Secretary of
War Faker. With flags masted,
sailors and marines manning the
rails, the Arizona swept by. stripped
for action. As she came abreast the
Mayflower she thundered the salute
of ninteen guns for the secretary
of the navy and her hand struck up
the "Star Spangled Fanner." A mo
ment Inter she had faded again into
mist, leaving only an impression of
great gray sides and massive gun
turrets crested with snow.
Continuous Cannonade.
The Arizona's guns had not fin
ished their .salute when the Okla
homa bega nfirlng and from then
on the cannonading was continuous.
In swift succession followed the Ne
vada and the Utah. flagship of
Fear Admiral Thomas S. Fodgers.
and then the super-dreadnaught
.Pennsylvania, bearing Admiral
Henrj' T. Mayo, commander-in-chief
of the Atlantic fleet. At two min
ute interval? came the New York,
fiying the flag of Fear Admiral
Hugh Wyoming and Florida, with
two kite balloons, towed by destroy
ers, completing the procession.
The New York was the first of
the battleships to display from her
most "The homeward bound pen
nant," a long slender strand of red,
white and blue, a foot for every day
cut from her home base. All the
rhips which follewed her carried
the pennants and it seemed as if
each were longer than the others.
A deep silence followed the last
salute, and so accustomed had those
on the Mayflower become to the
roar cf the guns that it seemed
"hardly possible that the review had
lasted less than twenty minutes.
When the last dreadnaught had
rt earned from sight. Secretaries
Daniels and Baker descended from
the bridge, but only for a moment.
While the Mayflower remained at i
anchor to give the incoming war
chips time to reach their berths in
the Hudson before Secretary Dan
iels inspected the entire fleet at
their anchorages, the British trans
port Saxonia, loaded with sick and
wounded American troops, hove
alongside. The heads of the navy
and war departments again ascend
ed to the bridge and doffed 1heir
hats to the fighting men.
Cheers Frcm the Wounded.
Then, getting under way, the
Mayflower moved along with the
transport, and after a .sailor had
wig-wagged to the larger vessel the
compliments of both secretaries,
the yacht's band played the "Star
Spangled Banner." Instantly those
aboard the Saxonia who were able
to stand came to attention and then
at the end of the anthem, broke in
to a prolonged cheer.
In beginning its tour of the fleet,
the Mayflower first reached the
Florida. last to anchor. As the
yacht moved through the lane, of
fighting craft with the home fleet
to port and the veterans to star
board, each ship was dressed, and
from each of the new arrivals came
the strains of-the national anthem,
played, by the ship's band as the
Mayflower came abreast.
It was a stern array of ships, de
spite the splendor of the flags with
which the' were decorated. All the
battleships wore coats of sinister
gray, while destroyers and auxiliar
ies bore the fantastic touch of the
camoufleur.
Exclusive of all except battle
ships, the tonnage of the fighting
craft now in the Hudson amounts
to 424, S22. The ten homecoming
craft had a tonnage of 2CS.O0O. Not
counting guns of smaller caliber,
the battleships alone carry a total
of eighty-eight fourteen-inch guns,
twenty t hirteen-inch guns and fifty
six twelveineh. The Mississippi.
New Mexico and other dreadnaughts
made the battleships which were
the last word in naval architecture
only a few years ago seem puny
craft, huge as the- are.
ARE VERY CAREFUL WORKERS.
Harry Beal Who Was Injured Yes

was injured yesterday morning
while in the exercise of his duty,

execution of their work as is pos
sible, still accidents happen.

nature of the accident as it was. he
being thrown from the car. he was
extremely fortunate in not receiv
ing greater injurj- than he did.

TWO LETTERS FROM THE BOYS
DOING THEIR WORK FOR THE
COUNTRY THEY LOVE.
ONE IS FRO M OLD FRANCE
They Tell of Their Experience In
the Service, And Best Wishes
For Their' Folks.
The two following Utters one
from Fmil Koukal. who was gassed
in France some time since, but who
is now all right, and well satisfied
that the war is over. The other one
from liert Spies who was formerly
one of the force of this paper, are
interesting reading. They both will
be remembered by their many
friends in this city:
December 1, 191 S.
Dear Brother: Pretty cold here
this morning. We are all packed
in here around the stove; feels good,
too. I'm back to the company
again. Still anxious to hear from
home, for all my mail was sent out
as fast as it came in. Received sev
eral letters since I got back but
none from home. Got a bundle of
Plattsmouth Journals last night,
also a "buddy" of mine got a bunnh
of Omaha Daily News, so this morn
ing we can almost imagine we are
at home. Just got through reading
about our drive of Septembt-r L't.
The Plattsmouth Journal of Septem
ber 27 gav a good account of it.
except that it has the dates wror.tr,
for we landed in France cm May
IS instead of June 9. Never will I
forget the morning of the 2:h a
f:30 a. m! We drove them for 'iw
days before we were relieved. I wa
knocked out and gassed on tne
fourth day. We ar? now sua !:;."
at a little country village calle.!
Courcelles. near St. Mihiel. Noth
ing here at all but a few buildings.
Of course we are all anxious to get
home but as we all have a good
chance to get back to the good old
States now and it all ended sooner
than we expected, we can a .lord to
wait.
It may be finite a while before we
get back, especially if they put us
in the Army of Occupation. Have
been broke now sonce I went to the
hospital and if they don't pay -before
we leave France I'm gonr-r to
cash a check for 1 want to buy sev
eral souvenirs before I leave this
country. Must close. Everyone in
here is talking, discussing the sr.r.w
old subject: When do we fail?
Enough for this time. Hoping you
are all well.
EMIL,
France, Nov. la. Hi IS.
Dear Mamma:
Well, there is a soldier from
Brooklyn, going from the hospital
at ('our Cherney in central France,
and -I am writing this letter and
let him mail it in New York.
I am in the hospital here with an
injured knee. Will be discharged
from the hospital the ISth of this
month. Now, do not worry as I am
all o. k. The war is over and we
will be back in four or five months
or sooner. Will go back to my com
pany for dutj. so you can see that
I am all o. k.
All P'rance is celebrating the vic
tory now. We were at Verdun with
the first army corps.
Casualties were pretty heavy for
a couple of days. Quite a few of
the men were gassed. We are go
ing to the Rhine a couple of weeks,
so I will get .some souvenirs before
I return. I am glad the war i.s ov
er now. You do not imagine what
the sights one sees at the front. All
the boys are glad that the war is
over and I guess the people back
home are, too.
I have not heard from you since
I have been in France and do not '
expect to as no one here seems to
receive any mail..
It will be a grand day when we
sail past the Statute of Liberty and
know that our mission has been ful
filled. Our artillery and transport trains
are moving back from the front now
as we can see it pass here every few
hours. I suppose you still have the
Liberty bonds I sent you. I hope
this is received by you.
Now, do not worry about me, as
I am all o. k. A nlight obtrusion of
tho knee cap. That' sail. Lucky
not to get any gas, as quite a few
did. With lots of love to all and
tell me Elmer's address and Ed's,
also. Will eat Thanksgiving and
Xmas dinner in France and drink a
bottle of wine to your health. .
With love,
BERT.

Defense of Ililitarl:nt.
Recalling to the ex-emperor tUeir
conversations, the prince says:
"I was deeply impressed with the
talk I had with you when we in
augurated the observatory of I.ed
enberg. When I condemned the
militarizing of a people as stunting
individual development van describ
ed to me the advantages of :ur:: a
form of national education oetside
its purely military objects becau: e
as you said, it relieved men from
the heaviness of their bearing. This
was your conception of the prin
cipal end of a rystem. The applica
tion of which is . terrifying the
world. Today in the paths cf your
armies are strewn the marks cf this
education, which betray your true
end of your profound error.
"Although you said to me one day
that it was not your right to take
a certain action which would have
conserved world peace, jet you told
me on the yacht Meteor on June 2S.

tion of Archduke Ferdinand. 'Now
I must do everything over again.'
Herpcnsible for War.
"History will recognize in thee
