Coontz. chief of naval operations
during that period declared in his
annual report made public today.
The report said the necessity of
finding crews for several new light
cruisers commissioned during the
year required cutting down of COM
pIements at submarine bases and
elsewhere to point that meant loss
of efficiency Admiral Coontz added
that it has been necessary to use
first class battleships for the practice
cruisers of midshipmen and to use
destroyers for experimental work,
taking them away from their regular
duties This should not be-" de-
clared the admiral.

The young girls in practically

That the drug habit is increasing
because it is growing easier every

That most of the addicts are

way up through the better classes
of society, and no barriers can be
effectively put up against it.
Appeal for Aid.
That some of the addicts are
themselves making piteous appeals
to their friends to save them.
That it is impossible to try to
