In recent months these states. | men hava agreed, too, that "hé only | source of sufficient friction to en- | body thoughts of possible conflict lar inthe Pacific. It was held by Ameri- can authorities therefore, ag not ne- cessarily significant, but merely prac- | ticable, to shift half the American | fleet into Pacific wa'ers. i Reorganized. recent arrival of the Pennsylvania and the despatch of two mine-layers, which permitted two cruisers that had been | doing mine-laying du'y to return to | their regular position, this phase of {the fleet' re-organization has bean completed.

Scores of flyers have been moved from the, east coas' positions to the Pacific air force during the last two months. Among these have. been some of the country's most notable. The Pacific fleet air force is now made up of seven air squadrons, each being divided, into sea-plane patrol { forces, combat forces and spotting forces. Reduction of the air forces on the east coast to effect the transfers to the west coast are being accomplish- {ed by material diminution of the ou'- ' t d Liays at east coast stations.
