ground that his eyes incapacitafed
him from active service. After an
examination by navy surgeons it
was recommended to not retire the
Lieutenant. Hobson thereupon
made application TO his Congress

since the war, and while he was in
Maaila engaged in raising the YES

compelled for time 10 refrain from
