Admiral Robley ID. Evans, u. s. Navy,
otherwise known as Fighting Bob"
has been publicly reprimanded by Acting
Secretary Hackett, acting under orders
from Secretary Long. The censure was
visited upon him for an attack in his
book, "A Sailors Log" upon former
Secretary Chandler. In a letter to the
department Mr.. Chandler characterized
Admiral Evans action as conduct unbe-
coming an officer and gentleman. 1t is
the general opinion in naval circles that
while the reprimand is severe, it has
probably saved the admirala court-mar-
tial and more serious punishment.

European shipments will be made over

and its effect on that road. said that the
Panama railroad at the present time was

shipments which would be made via san

New York would consist chiefly of car
goes which previously have been sent
around the Horn. The route by san

an unnatural route as compared with
