WARS Star Writer Drills With Pacific Fleet Eye-Witness Stories on Maneuvers Will By special arrangement with naval authorities at Washington, The Seattle Star was able to place Re- porter Paul N. Wilson on the Pacific fleet during its recent maneuvers. No other newspaper and no press association had a correspondent on the cruise. Wilson is writing a number of exceedin ly interesting Personal observation articles about his pe Some of them will be illustrated with photographs. The articles will give our readers a graphic picture of the Pacific squadron in particular, and of the navy in general, as they are today. They will show graphically what is being done to pro- tect this coast against any possible aggression. Wilson's first article will be printed in The Star to- morrow. Others will follow at frequent intervals. ANTS TO GIVE TANK EXPLODES; SEATTLE,'! WASH., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1920.
