NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—Riding at anchor in the
Hudson tonight were twenty-one superdreadnaughts,
dreadnaughts and ships of the line, whieh led cruisers,
destroyers and a host of smaller craft, the mightiest
American armada ever assembled. '
Ten pof the floating fortresses steamed into the
harbor today after eighteen months' service overseas,
with Beatty's grand fleet.
The others are the flower of the north Atlantic
fleet.
Grim guardians of a great nation, they symbolized that
the United States has become the second naval power
of the world.
MILLIONS WAIT HOURS TO SEE SIGHT.
In the teeth of a northwester, in the chill of a
driving snowstorm, millions waited hours until the ten
battleship- of the homecoming armada appeared.
This was New York’s’and the nation’s tribute to
the ships, far more eloquent than the greatest din of
of whistles, bells and human voices.
VOCAL WELCOME ON DEBARKATION.
The vocal welcome came later, when the rugged,
weather-beaten tars who manned the ships debarked,
and with Secretary Daniels and Admiral Mayo at thir
head marched down Fifth avenue in the country's first

all along the railroad from Dover to the suburbs of
London to see President Wilson’s train go by today.
