ARNADA REACHES FIRST OBJECTIVE Battle Fleet Puts Into San Francisco Bay in War Games. By the Associated Press. ABOARD U. S. S. PENNSYLVANIA, Ban Francisco Harbor, May 1.—Ad- miral Harris Laning's battle fleet of dreadnaughts, aircraft carriers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers and suxiliaries glided into San Francisco Bay under cover of darkness early today. Air patrols from two mighty car- rlers augmented the destroyer and light cruiser screen protecting the main battle line on the two-day cruise from Southern California ports. There were some 40 fighting ships in the fleet that dropped anchors in the bay, marking the first stop in the six weeks of naval maneuvers in the North Pacific which started last Mon- day. Meanwhile another powerful, fast- striking unit of the United States Fleet, under command of Vice Ad- miral Arthur J, Hepburn, having left Southern California bases secretly last Monday as an independent force, was operating somewhere in the Pacific. These two forces are merely a part of the 153 naval craft. engaged in annual maneuvers, which will be played until June 10 in various parts of the North Pacific, between Midway Island, 1,340 miles west of Honolulu, and the Pacific Coast, and from Hono- lulu to Alaska. How many separate forces are op- erating in the maneuvers, or what their composition is has not been an- nounced by Admiral Joseph Mason Reeves, commander in chief of the United States Fleet, who, aboard his flagship, the Pennsylvania, is acting as chief umpire.
