Then it was that Admiral Rodman. de- string to show his guests how convoy work was accomplished by the British and American navies in the North sea, gave an order throwing anti submarine screen around the advancing column of dreadnaughts and battleships steaming 800 yards apart.
 The scout cruiser Birmingham, with six destroyers in line abreast, took an advanced position 1,500 yards ahead of the dreadnaughts, while on both sides of the big sea fighters, 800 yards away were two divisions of destroyers, each in single column. So the armada steamed away
 Fleet Maneuvers

Thursday night.
The American embassy in Mexico
City reported his release in an official

times news dispatches were received
from Mexico City which said check
for $500 had been deposited with the

This difference in the two reports
seemed TO raise some doubt as TO
whether Jenkins was released uncOndi-

or whether he had been released on
bail, as the Mexican authorities have
contended he could.

the view that Jenkins had been re-
