tragedy and obtaining only the second

afterward became a music-hall artistic

Marie Lloyd was heartily applauded
AS she passed near me she kissed me
affectionately. We were great friends
and l liked her very much, but 1 al

received any prize the year before, but
no one expected her to have the prize.

Dear SirII am in receipt OF your

of the value of the services rendered
by II. Beckenbach, seaman, who was
detailed by me during our visit 10
Pensacola TO assist you in the Naval
Young Mems Christian Association. i
am very glad to learn that he was OF
material service, for | have the high
est appreciation of the work Done by
the Young Mems Christian Associa
ton of Pensacola. Without the tenn
porary home which was established
there the enlisted men Of our feet
would have found themselves with
few, if any, facilities for obtaining re-
spectacle lodging and for amusing and
occupying themselves in a reputable
manner
THE conditions imposed upon our
men in visiting Pensacola are most
unfortunate The town is small and
affords few opportunities for diversion
and amusement while the arrival of
the fleet seems to afford the occasion
for introducing from the outside as
many low and disreputable features as
possible.
Il called at the home shortly before
leaving Pensacola and intended to say
this in substance to you personally,
but unfortunately you were not in the
building at the moment.
Wishing you success in the good
work which you. and the Association
have undertaken, l am,
