THAT simple order which forbade

hcer in the navy knew it was to be
issued until it was read in the papers,
and that officer was Admiral Brai-

He recommended it, and when that
fact became known he came in for

you look at it, for the fact that this

that it did not deter it.

officers tradition is sacred. More

would resent it because they believed
it would improperly convey an i'm

in the navy that such an order was
necessary to insure sobriety and eff

rare and my only hesitation about is
suing the order was the reflection
that it might convey such mislead-
