As the head of the general naval board, Admiral Dewey haa reason to be proud of the cruise of the bat tleship fleet which to all Intents and purposes may be regarded aa an ac complished fact. The general naval board had much to do In conjunc tion with the bureau of navigation, In preparing the plana for the un dertaking. The problem was aug gested by the president early last spring, but it was not until , June 18 that the report of the gnra board was handed to tb secretary of the navy and on the following day the Hearst Newa Service ex cluslvely announced the proposed transfer of the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific coast. As soon as the fleet waa reported a Magdalena bay Admiral Dewey visited the White House. Nothing was maae public about the visit except that there were mutual felicitations, the president being about as happy as the admiral At the White House they say that the president. In addition to preparing the caDlegram or congratulation to Aamirai Evans, warmly complimented Admiral Dewey and the expert officers whose plans were so successfully carried out. Admiral Dewey's discussion of the record made by Rear Admiral Evans put him in a reminiscent mood.

Henry Reuterdahl, the marine art- i 1st, whose criticisms of certain features of construction of the battle- ' ships of the navy 4iaa caused perhaps more discussion among . repre sentatives of the' service in Washington than any other one criticism, started today for New York to Join hla family. Although hla plans are not fully settled upon, Mr. Reuterdahl In tends to visit Washington at once after his arrival in New York and there personally acquaint himself and followers and those who disagree with his criticisms exactly what he Intends doing henceforth. To an Oregon Journal and Examiner reporter he explained aue- cinctly his plans for the Immediate future. "I have been out of the world ao long," he began, "that It la not fair to expect me to enter into any lengthy discussion of my plana until I have had time to get better posted on the altuatlon. We on the fleet saw a few newspapers and no fresh ones. From such few documents as have been called to my attention In the newspapers of recent date, it seems to me that Washington is decidedly favoring my suggestions. WHEN ONE DEALS WITH WRONG "When one deals with the wrong lta extermination -depends en tirely on how directly one can attack it. It is an easy enough matter and a relatively Inexpensive one too to change the present faulty armor-belt so that all our battle ships would be as good as any nation In this respect. The height of a new armor-belt above the waterllne ' could be made eight, 10 and 12 inches greater than at present at an V expense entirely disproportionate to the total value of the ship. But one cannot tinker with the United Statea battleships aa one might wit,h ' an individually-owned merchantman. ' . "Here we have men in the naval service, heads of bureaus, whose Jobs, other things being equal, are perpetual and whose sway over their respective departments is absolute. It does not require any great amount of insight to perceive that under such a system the head of a bureau who has held down the position for yqars is going to- reject ' any suggestion, the acceptance of which would show his policies to have been wrong. - "If the armor-belt is too low on oar battleships, it Is a matter of the most grave concern for all of us. But to the navy constructor the angle of his viewpoint does not include any sight of the nation's In terest in the case. All the constructor thinks about ia 'what will bap pen to me if my methods are proved wrong?' ' FLEET'S OVER-DISPLACEMENT "Until a very much more sweeping change in existing methods among departmental bureaus Is made, the poor battleship must con tinue to plow her way through the sea with a free board entirely In nocent of a main armor-belt. Planned to displace 16,000 tons, our battleships on thia cruise displaced 18,000 tons. With this unplanned for submersion in the water, the veriest land lubber must see a grave danger if these ships are to be engaged In a fight. "Like the eternal puzzle the solution of which has been the de spair of so many good, honest men, which faces any daring reformer ' who attempts to mend present methods under which our rear admirals are old men when they receive their commands this matter of regu lating the construction of onr battleships In such a way aa to insure the best materials, the best workmanship, the most advanced ideas and do away with all useless, expensive, speed-hampering, redtape of the - bureaus as it is today is one that may well discourage the most sturdy ' reformer. . .

"That a change of present conditions can be effected only after the hardest kind of a fight, and then only with the united support of the country, is evl denced sufficiently by the fact that all of us who know the navy Intimately have countenanced these faults with vir tually never a word of protest. "It may be Interesting- to know that without exception every magazine has had offered for publication articles gen erally like mine, condemning existing conditions.
