great exploit In naval history over
which we should be very happy and
of which we should be accordingly
proud.
"The achievement of sending so
successfully this splendid fleet al

something on which our nation
should congratulate Itself. By this

Admiral Dewey Proud.
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

Evans, warmly complimented Admiral
Dewey and the expert officers whose
plans were so successfully carried out.

record made by Rear Admiral Evans
put him in a reminiscent mood. Talk-

Los Angelea, Cal., March 14. 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. . . '
