A far flung covenant of protection, forty-two gray giants of the American navy, steamed from their overnight anchor uc-A nff Ttnlllnaa Yiav nnrth of San Francisco, and, piloted personally by Admiral Hugh Rodman, commander-in chief, swept through the Golden Gate and passed the famous old battleship Oregon, the reviewing ship in a mar ine spectacle which thrilled a multitude of spectators. It was the rev'ew here of the new Pacific fleet before Secretary of the Navy Daniels and other national, state and municipal officials. In addition to those in the review a train of nine supply and fuel ships later entered the haibor and cast anchor. San Franciscans, who. ashore, lined the Marina off which the Oregon was anchored; and San Franciscans who, in a myriad of small craft, lined the waterway of the naval processional, sought through cheers to express the patriotism they felt as they saw and heard the ceremony. Thousands See Pageant. From every hill and structure overlooking the broad sweep of the harbor, countless thousands had gathered since early morning to view the pageant. Not since May, 1908, when the Atlantic fleet visited this port on its tour of the world, had San Francisco been spectator to a naval review Not a few thrilled at the thought that the fleet had come to make its home in Pacific waters. Majestically the long line of warcraft crept carefully through the storied Gate, past the Presidio military reservation and the once impregnable old Fort Point, whose thick brick walls the engineers of CW1 .-war days built to . withstand the; solid .shot of enemy frigates; ' past the modern Forts Mlley and Wlnfleld Scott, on the San Francisco side of the harbor, and under the long range, gunshot Forts Baker and Marry, hidden in the golden brown hills in the opposite shore, where Mount Tamalpias stands sentinel to the Golden Gate. Daniels Boards Oregon. As the battleship Oregon passed by the leading dreadnaughts. Telegraph Hill, a landmark famed for its association with San Francisco's early history, came into view, its rocky slopes thickly crowned with sightseers. Thence, the fleet swung into the upper bay nast Goat island and came to rest while the harbor resounded with the shrilling of whistles from scores of welcoming crait. The formalities began with the anchoring of the Oregon, commanded by j Captain Ivan Wettingell off the old exposition grounds now the Marina at 10 o'clock. About 11. Mr. Daniels and the secretarial reviewing party boarded the historic vessel. As the secretary reached the quarterdeck and the naval form for his advent was fulfilled, the big guns at Fort Scott boomed a salute of nineteen guns. New Mexico Leads. By this time a long line of the fleet coming single file, was approaching the gate, led by the dreadnaught New Mexico, and with the dreadnaughts Mississippi and Idaho follow ing at intervals of 700 yards. The next group commanded by Rear Admiral R. E. Coontz, was composed of his flagship, the dreadnaught Wyoming, and the dreadnaughts Arkansas, New York and Texas following, preserving the distance of 700 yards between ships. Vice Admiral Clarence S. Williams, on his flasship, the pre-dreadnaught, Vermont, led the next group, which alfo included in this order the pre dreadnaughts. Nebraska, the armored cruiser North Carolina, the pre-dread-naueht Georgia and the cruiser Se attle. Dressed for Event. Rear Admiral Henry A. Wiley commanded the next group on his flagship, the cruiser Birmingham, and the destroyers, Ludlow, Crane, Anthony, Williams, Chauncey, Sproston, Lamherton, Breese, Ramsey. Radford. Gamble. Montgomery. Rathburne. Buchanan. Elliott. Waters, Dent, Philip, Yarnell, Tarbell, Wickes, Woolsey, Lea, Ward. Boggs. Walker, Thatcher, Crosby and Palmer.They preceded at intervals of 350 yards. Each ship Was "dressed" for the event. The derricks and booms were lowered into their places and secured. The admiral flew his flag, a field of blue with four white stars from the foremast and the largest and newest American flags from the mainmast and stern. The flagship of the vice admiral bore a blue flag with three white stars from its foremast and those of the two rear admirals blue banners with two white stars from the corresponding masts. Other vessels flew the national ensign at foremasts and mainmast and stern. SOLDIERS GIVEN AMNESTY By Associated Pre? ROME. Sept. 1.

William D. FARMERS FORM PREBLE LOCALS OF EQUITY UNION Eaton, New Paris and Eldorado Men Join Is Co-operative Associatio. EATON, O., Sept. 1. Twelve members were secured as a starter for a local branch of a proposed farmers' equity-union in Preble county, in a meeting here Saturday afternoon. The county union would establish grain elevators at various points in the county and become a member of the National Farmers' Equity-Union, the headquarters of which are located in Greenville, 111. C. O. Drayton, president of the national equity-union, attended the meeting and addressed the audience, which was made up .of .upward, -of ..ona hundred farmers. Upon the necessity of the national union, which at present embraces more than 400 locals, he said. Additional locals naturally will strengthen and increase the influence of the national union, he said. He dwelt at length upon the process of organizing locals. An organization of approximately 200 farmers, as shown by the national union's records, will average about $300,000 yearly in grains sold and supplies bought. Average patronage dividends over large numbers of local exchanges net dividends of 5 to 6 per cent, he said. Plans for the lacal county union at present ar'jto establish eight locals in various K mlities that will take in all farmers in the county. It is hoped to have at least fifty members in each local. These eight locals would establish as manv or more train elevators at railway points in the county. Grain crops of the members would be handled through these elevators and their seed and other farm supplies would be bought through them. After deducting overhead expenses at the close of the year, the net profits would be distributed pro rata among the members, based upon the volume of business done by each member during the year. A central exchange to serve the locals of the county and adjacent territory probably would be established. Two locals already have been organized, one known as the EldoredoWest Manchester local and the other the New Paris local. The EldoradoWest Manchester local has been incorporated in the Ohio laws and capitalized at $40,000. The officers are: President, E. B. Oreager; vice president. Elmer Kimmel; secretary. Frank Schlcsser. John Ritz, O. J. McKee and the officers constitute the board of directors. The local at present has sixty members. Two new members signed up at the meeting here. ; John Noakes is president of the New Paris local and Harry Bragg is secretarv. A dozen or more members have been secured as a starter for a local at Ingomar. Interest is manifest at Campbellstown and a few members were signed up at the meeting here Saturday. It is hoped to get the county union formed and working In time to handle next year's crops. The meeting here was the closing one of six held at different points in the county during the week. President Drayton, of the national union attended all the meetings and addressed them. Another meeting will be held here Sept. 20, at 8 p. m.. at the courthouse, at which time it is expected the local for Eaton and vicinity will be organized.

tor Watson Opposing Armed Action Against Mexico. WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. Ross N. Hadley, of Richmond, Ind., general secretary of the American board of foreign missions, has written a letter

to Senator Watson to express his hope that there would be no armed in ttervention in Mexico. He says that information he received from several sources led him to believe that conditions in Mexico were improving. In replying. Senator Watson wrote that he did not know what the outcome of the present situation wouul be, but that Mexico would find herself in a peck of trouble if Mexicans don't quit murdering Americans citizens, in suiting our flag and confiscating American property. Mr. Hadley's letter against Intervention follows: "Referring to the question of conditions in Mexico and relations existing between our own government and the government of Mexico, I write to express the very earnest hope that you will see fit to oppose the efforta which are being made at the present time to bring about intervention by the armed forces of the United States and that you may, as opportunity offers, lend your vote and influence against intervention. Asks Friendly Attitude. "I had occasion last winter to spend a few weeks in Mexico and from what I saw then and have learned from our representatives in Mexico and from other trustworthy sources I am con vinced that conditions in Mexico are steadily, if not rapidly, improving, and I venture that the manifestation of a genuinely friendly attitude on the part of the United States will do more toward bringing about that condition of peace and security in Mexico which wj all wish to see than will our forcible military occupation of the countryThe Christian churches of America are manifesting a practical and genuine interest in the welfare of Mexico and we expect beneficial results to follow. This missionary activity is almost certain to be abandoned if our government resorts to intervention." Senator W'atson, in reply, wrote as follows: "Intervention Is not accomplished by the legislative branch of the government, but by the executive. In other words, we (congress) cannot intervene unless the president does and assumes the initiative. There is no pr06ntIIireliho6d that'eongress" will attempt to pass any act with regard to intervention lrr Mexico because that would be a straightout declaration of war. Conditions Unbearable. "Conditions in Mexico have been unbearable for five years. I do not know what the outcome will be, but I do know that Mexicans must quit murdering American citizens, trampling the American flag in the dust and confiscating American property or it will be only a question of time until they get into serious trouble. If results can be accomplished by peaceful nieth ods, then, of course, every right thinking American will concur. It is to be hoped that the allied church movement of which you speak will be able to cure the evils that now exist." MUNICH PUT UNDER MARTIAL CONTROL (By Associated Press! COPENHAGN, Sept. 1.
