plants his hoofs just as in real life:

ACTION OF THE MEN
MAKE TRIP SUCCESS
Short Furlough to Be Taken Before
Beginning Drill Work for
the Coming Year.

The sailors of the Naval Battalion, NJ
G. d. c., returned to Washington late
yesterday from their annual cruise aboard
the United States ship Alabama. They
brought with them the praises of Com
mander c. F. Preston, commanding the
Alabama. as well as the other regular Of
ficers. Commander Dempf, when he
lined the men up in the battalion armory
preparatory to Diminishing them until to-
day, added his praise to the others, and
expressed his qualification at the way
the men have helped him to make a sue
cess of the present cruise.
It was the intention to make only
ten knots an hour on the cruise from
GARDENERS bay to Baltimore, Md. The
first night out, however, faint wireless
S. o. S. signal. followed by a distress
rocket, caused the Alabama to circle
about in the Atlantic for more than an
hour in ali effort to find what vessel
was in need of assistance. However,
the vessel could not be located, and the
Alabama resumed her course southwark
Commander Preston. in view of the
time lost in looking for the vessel. ordered
full speed on. The vessel anchored in the
lower Chesapeake bay Tuesday night and
got under way again at o'clock yester-
day morning.
AS soon as the vessel got out of Gardi-
ners bay a heavy sea was encountered.
and the Alabama tossed and rocked her
way until she neared the Virginia capes.
The vessel steamed within the capes at 2
o'clock Tuesday. The trip down the coast
and up the bay was full of drills for the
miliatiamen The time was used to put
the men through a sort of examination Of
what they had learned since they had
been aboard the Alabama. There were
fir drill IfSin drill al o
and fire and rescue parties. After each
drill the officers of the Alabama compli-
mented the District boys for the efficient
manner in which they carried them out.

on top This was made to order by the
sailmaker of the Alabama. Rooney was
proud of the honor of being made GUS
todian of Sausage" The dog kept in
the parade until the armory was
reached. and then made himself right
at home.
When the battalion arrived at the or
mory and after the baggage had been
placed inside Commander Dempf lined
the men up.
II want to compliment you" he said,
upon the success of the present cruise
of the Naval Battalion of the District
Of Columbia 1t has been most profit
able and successful, Judging from the
expressions from the Alabama's officers.
The praise is all for you men, for
without your help i could not have
made it the success which 1 heartily
believe 1t has been Many of you men
came into the battalion only a few
weeks before the start for the cruise,
unaccustomed to the life in Uncle Sans
navy. But you have done nobly, and
am proud of you.
