Admiral Evans remark that the

In its men and not in its armor was
evidently not the wall Of a pessimist
who feared that the service was going
to the dogs. II was predicted about
the time that the feet sailed from the
Atlantic that numerous desertions
would result from the long voyage,
for the service was becoming unpop-
ular and that many men enlisted On
the eve Of the cruise simply to get
transportation and keep until they
reached new fields of adventure. Since
the feet left Hampton Roads last De
cember the assertions have been only
693, or about I per cent. After long
frolic in the harbor of San Francisco
the absentees reported when the ships
sailed away were only 129 out of
roster of nearly 1900. It is believed
that not more than fourth of these
absentees were bona fde deserters.
The majority of the young men who
enlisted for the cruise probably sized
up the advantages of the trip around
the world before they took the leap.
1t is a good schooling for men in any
walk of life. incidentally the expert
ence is one Of discipline from which
no real man shirks. When the native
thin skin of the recruit is bit tough
ened, bowling to the iron hand Of mill
tary discipline is but small price to
pay for the chance to make a world
voyage and see strange lands and
strange people. When these thou
sands Of sailors drop back into civil
life they will not only be the better
citizens for their experience, but more
successful as individuals. Their wan
derlust or travel fever will have run
it's course, and as fast as they buckle
down to home work other youths OF
the same class and rugged fiber win
replace them at the guns.
