It Is Win Ertat gFatINcatlon mat 7 Invite your
attention 10 the fact that notwithstanding the
large increase in the personnel Of the Navy during
the last six months, made necessary by the war
with Spain. the number Of consequential. general
and summary. has not materially Increased during
said period. and that few really serious attractions
OF discipline and order. such as may reasonably
be expected 10 grow out of a state OF war. have
arisen. despite the ineyperience- and the lack Of
familiarity with disciplinary restraints which nat
urally characterized both officers and men drawn
from civil life. While this result Is without doubt
IN great measure due to the unusually active
umes for the discipline and efficiency OF the SER
