CEDARVILLE. OHIO. FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1925 PR IC E .'! 1.50 A YEAR INSPIRINGSIGHT AS BATTLE FLEET SAILS I t wa# Indeed an inspiring sight witnessed by thousands of people of San Francisco when the United States navel fleet said farewell to that city and started on its long cruise over Pacific waters to the Hawaiian is­ lands and later from there to the South Sew islands and Australia, The fleet, including about 130 ves* sels of every type belonging to the American, navy, had heen a t anchor in San Francisco hay -for ten days. Which .period of vacation was much enjoyed by both officers snd men in various recreational ways. The people of San Francisco, Oalc- land and other places around the bay had outdone).themselves in showing the Nav(y a good time during this period of vacation. They had decora­ ted the ,cjty .with flags and hunting similar to when some great patriotic celebration is in progress, and ban­ quets fo r the officers and programs of various hinds and amusement? fo r the men had heen the daily routine' until one of the high officers in command expressed it that he had been fairly ,“run ragged" by the many invitations and honors to which he had been cal­ led upon to respond, Wednesday* April 16, had been- set as the day of departure, although the Flagship Seattle with Admiral Coontz and General Hines on board and a few lesser craft departed on the day before to reach Honolulu in advance of the re st of the fleet, and inspire the events which were to follow- Early Wednesday morning every-, body on the warship in the bay seem­ ed to lie in a more or less suppressed but excited frame o f mind. I t was the day of departure and last hour duties had to be performed. Small boats and launches were hoisted on- board, gangways \Vero drawn up, final orders were issued and gradually one by one the various ships were set in motion. The Flag­ ship Seattle with Admiral Coontz on board having departed* the West Vir­ ginia with Vice Admiral Wiley on hoard and in command of Captain Senn.led thte parade of battleships, aaaffimded by - cruisers,- destroyers, WKnarmwi and other-craft out o f the bay, through the Golden Gate to the open sea. Into the Open Sea . The California is flagship of* the. entire fleet in the absence of the Seattle, with Vice Admiral Robinson in command. She came third or fourth in line, the West Virginia'be­ ing* the flagship of the battleships of the fleet, but not including other craft As the ships came into* the open sea they formed- several lines With the* battleships forming the center line, cruisers and destroyers in line on the right and left, submarines and other draft in line across the front and tenders, supply ships, repair ships and other craft in line f a r to the left. The ships moved slowly a t about nine knots per hour, and about one quarter of a mile apart. A knot fa a nautical mile, equivalent to one and one-eighth mile. The whole fleet waa spread* over a distance of a number of miles. I t had been the plan of the high command to maneuver into circle for­ mation after the open sea was reach­ ed and the various ships were mov­ ing towerd that end when a heavy fog suddenly settled over the sea about ;he middle of the afteriioon arid in a very short time, only a few minutes, i t became impossible so sec more .than the shin next in line. The* circle formation which had been contemplated, but was abandon­ ed on account of the fog, would have spread the fleet out over a distance, of thixty mites. The flagship Cali­ fornia would have been in the center surrounded by supply and other small ships, the battleships would Have formed a circle five miles oat, with the destroyers forming two more circles each five miles farther n u t i | | Fog a Menace The heavy fog was a serious men­ ace to maneuvering and instead of executing a beautiful parade forma­ tion of such size and magnitude as has never been undertaken by the American fleet before, the fog horns began to sound a t regular intervals aftd the searchlights were thrown out to prevent the possibility of the ves­ sel# ramming into each other. Riding the waves through a heavy fog is anything but a pleasant task. inconveniences everybody seemed to bq in good spirits on board the West Virginia, to which your correspondent had been assigned a s a guest. Not withstanding the delightful ten days vacation period a t San Francisco, both officer* and men seemed glad to be on their way, The confusion of the last days in shore was soon changed to the orderly proceedure of regular routine duty and everybody seemed to have his part or place in the big scheme of handling the big ship. The writer found himselft in most delightful surroundings. He was one af four newspaper, men and a pathe jairiera man on board, W q are all jeing extended every courtesy by both officers’ and men and we are looking forward to a delightful trip and many wonderful jsigbts and experiences. Whe’i Who on .Board The newspaper men on board the West Virginia are Arthur S. Henning, Washington correspondent of the Chi­ cago Tribute, Paul F . Mueller of the Abendpost, of Chicago, J, T. Cushing, of the Daily Messenger, St, Albans, Vt., Charles F. Renicb of the. Daily Sentinel, Woodstock* 111,,, and J. T. Rucker, Pathe camera man, of San Francisco, Calif. In my next le tte r,I hope to give my readers a general “once over" of the big ship on which we ate guests of Uncle Sam, and on which about 1500 officers and men are quartered as part of America’s proud navy in the great work of the defence of our country and its Possessions.

SPRINGFIELD BOY WINS ESSAY ON COMMUNISM? $750 PRIZE Robert Krumholtz 17, Springfield has the honor of winning first honors in a nation-wide contest, conducted by the American Legion on ' ‘Coipmunism as a menance to the nation."

While the press has not said much a- bout what was going on other than to tell of the hasty retreat of lobbyists from a prominent hotel when it became known that .detectives were checking up on members of the legislature. Nothing big ever happens in pol­ itics without Greene county get- ing some share of the honor, such as it may be. The Herald has fo r three weeks . been checking up on one impor­ tan t gathering during the closing session of the legislature. Certain events had happened in the Sen­ ate and the jime came to cele­ brate. Greene county was fitly represented with the presence of Cql. H. E and Sen. L, T, two . perfectly chummy fellows who , t a t home prefer to call each other names befitting boss politicians. At. this certain gathering in a prominent downtown hotel were lobbyists,, politicians and mem­ bers of the legislature mostly from the upper house. Three. ■ rooms were occupied* one a recep­ tion which had for decorations on the centerstand five quarts of pre • Volstead liquor and a number of ■ glasses. ■ * , In another room, was a long table loaded with all the viands, of the season to be washed down with six quarts of perfectly good liquor and a whisky glass a t each plate. While the guests dined one,,who had evidently arrived at the opening of the doors, was inclined to sing, while standing on a chair, rather than eat. He sang just such songs as would be heard around the flowing bowl. No accorapanlcnfc was nec­ essary other than . the clink of glasses and the merry Ha Ha’s o f the banqueters. Some of the songs Were "Liquor Here, Liquor there, Liquor Everywhere.” “My Wife L e ft. Home, with an Idle Roomer”* etc. . One report that reaches, us is - that when one of the guests met the Greene county delegation'he "dfwwwtttinel the- team as, the “Four Horsemen from Greene”, which would indicate that the guest liad himself filled to over­ flowing and Was seeing double. The Herald refrains from giv­ ing a list of the guests, the time, the floor of the hotel a t this time. If the members of the “Georg­ ette legislature (W.C.T.U.) is in­ terested in having the date, the- name of the hotel, list of guests . we. have it. No oiie need trouble themselves about whether Gov*, Donahey. has the information. The Governor has not been-asleep.
