The Register is in receipt of a O p
of The Ess Dee" the official publica-
ton of the U. s.. S. South Dakota and
printed on board thet vessel, now
stationed at Mare Island, Cal. The
Ess Dee is well printed and contains
a large amount of news matter rela-
tive to life on board the ship. 1t
claims to be the best publication
printed in the navy and we haven't
any doubt but what it is, anyway it is
something that the South Dakota can
be proud of.
