That there is such thing as be-

serve the country is shown by the
experience of Arroi Odessal Goodwin,
of Pensacola, who enlisted in the Ma
tional Guard, and then in the navy.
The situation would probably have
been much more serious had it not
been for the fact that he has not
taken the oath of enlistment in the

were done, he would have enlisted
while serving in another branch, and
therefore fraudently, and would have
also been guilty of desertion.

he had not been sworn into the navy,
