-ment and renumbering of paragraphs. The volume contains

Officers are expected to interpret the regulations contained
in the volume reasonably and intelligently, with due regard
to the interests of the service, as it is not possible to pres-
-cribe for necessary and self-evident exceptions, nor for

authorities.
