Coming from northern ports the ders carried out the role of been suddenly mobilized from ceful activities, One squad- ron of destroyers had only 60 per- cent personnel when the orders came, but the crews were hastily made up from apprentices. Eighteen seaplanes were sent from Hampton Roads un- der their own power to Panama, and within a few hours after their arri- val were on the scouting line. “In order that logical estimates of the situation can be made,” the offi- cial report said, “certain assumptions are made as to the general situation which is supposed to exist. These are as follows: “Strained, relations between Blue and Black have recently been made more tense by a cruise of the Black fleet in the Eastern Pacific under, Admiral E., composed of seven battle- ships, 38 destroyers and two destroy- er tenders, nine submarines and one submarine tender. After visiting ports on the west coast of South America, this fleet assembled at Galapagos Islands, where they join- cd the Black Base Force and Train and a number of fuel and cargo ves- sels under other flags. After repair and refueling the entire Black fleet sailed with the announced intention of visiting Magdalena Bay and Amer- ican Pacific waters. “The Blue government, in view of the threatening situation, has order- ed.the majority of ships of the Blue fleet to Atlantic Coast yards for over- haul. The remainder has passed through the Canal and is based on Balboa, under Admiral M., compris- ing five battleships, 25 destroyers, 16 submarines and three tenders. The Blue army air canal force has been assembled in the Canal Zone, This concludes the so-called ‘general sit- uation.’ “In view of the strained relations, Admiral E, commanding the Black fleet, prior to leaving Black country, received instructions that the general naval plan would call for the destruc- tion of the Canal locks or obstruc- tion of the waterw: “To this end, if incidental to seiz- ing a base within radius of the Canal! cording to Prof. E. ‘North Dakota Agricultural he should see fit to violate the neu- trality of a Central or South Ameri- can country he was authorized to do so. He was also informed that two large plane carriers would join him|their projects and reported a net at a rendezvous to the northward of the Galapagos Islands, “On February 19 the Black plane carriers join Admiral E.'s command and at 8:00 a. m. on that day when in latitude 7 deg. 30 min. north longi- tude 97 deg. 45 min. west, he receives ‘he following radio despatch from the Black General Staff: “(Execute your war mission per- rad there will be no formal decla: tion of war.’ “Blue concluded that Black’s most probable intention would be to estab- lish a base on the Central or possi- bly South American coast, and to launch an attack by bombers on the Canal, The Black commander came to the same conclusion. He rejected the South American coast on account of the greater distance. After due consideration, Port Culebra in Costa Rica was chosen for the Black base. “At 4:30 p. m., February 20, Blue force commander sent radio to com-' mander Blue destroyers to send six as far as Fonseca.

PROFITS FROM. ACT EQUAL 0 ALL BXPENSES Claimed That Vocational Training Does Not Actually Cost Any Money Fargo, N.
