Ca11ao, Peru-''America's new navy entered upon it's first period of post r war ''shakedown' when the Atlantic and Pacific fleets undertook their cruise to Panama this winter and united for combined maneuvers off the West coast of South America. With an almost entirely green per sonnel, the high command was faced with something like a crisis. On other occasions, experienced men have outnumbered the green hands but since the armistice old-timers have been in a very small minority.
 The difficult problem, however, ac- ording to staff officers, was met in

 Then the initiates were given 9 di- ploma decorated with mermaidS fish and sea horses and full of strange nautical phrases.
