Songs ringing with the spirit of Americanism interspersed with trav- esties, burlesques nad satirical allu- sion to various figures and phases of the state government, an aeroplane flight at night spying out the men in the “trenches” with searchlights and magnesium flares and a dining room decorated in national colors and flags, all combined to stir patriotic fervor among the 300 participants at the closing banquet of the Gridiron elub of North Dakota, held in the Grand Pacific hotel last evening.

Mrs, Steele is Heard. Mrs. H. H. Steele then sang the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” all present joining in the chorus. She was compelled to respond, both num- bers being sung with the charming sweetness and cultivation of voice and manner for which she is noted.

NOBODY KNOWS EXCEPT WILSON AND DANIELS By J. HERBERT DUCKWORTH, New York, Feb. 23.—Uncle Sam's battle fleet has mysteriously and com- pletely disappeared. It is purposely lost and nobody here knows its where abouts except President Wilson, Sec- retary Daniels and the chief of naval operations. From now on until the end of the war, whether we become involved in hostilities with Germany or not, it is not likely our navy will have its hid- ing place revealed, Absolute secrecy of movement is the first law of naval strategy. When the Germans bombarded the east coast of England the British people angrily demanded to know where Ad- miral Jellicoe’s fleet was. “Lost somewhere in the gray mists of the North sea” was all the satis- faction they got from Winston Chur- chill, then first lord of the admiralty. Now it is the turn of the American fleet to be “lost somewhere in the blue haze of the North Atlantic.” The navy department has suspended pub- lication of daily bulletins giving the movements of warships, and Secre- tary Daniels has requested the corres- ‘pondents not even to.speculate con- cerning the whereabouts of the units of the fleet. Respecting this request, I do not in- tend to hazard a guess as to what has become of our first line of defnse. But from eight months experience in Eng- land trying to get a line on the goings- Newport will be declared “prohibited areas,” Of course, it-is impossible to hide a battleship, or‘in fact any other vessel when it is in port, but where it has the location of the fleet of which it is a part, will be secrets, All letters from ships. will be cen- sored and friends of men on board ships will be required to address let- ters “care of the ‘navy department, | Washington.” i Should the great fleet be sent to European waters the fact would not | be made public’ unless an “incident” should occur.. The fleet would keep; in constant ‘touch with Admiral Wil-| liam ‘S. Benson, chief of naval opera- tions, by wireless. Through agreement with the war department a board consisting of | army. and nayy: officers has been or- ganized for inspection of merchant vessels of all kinds from liners to harbor tugs, with a’view to their adap- tation as naval auxiliaries. On war being declared, the greater number of thesé merchantmen would ‘be at once impressed into service. This collection of craft would be about ‘all most people would see of the grand operations, Carrying am- munition and other supplies they would be kept busy ‘scurrying to and from the mine-protected ports and the fleet at sea.
