High Regard as Result of

gratifying to observe so many evi-

will count very much toward the
greater efficiency OF the Reserve.
He also reported that the Reservists
on one cruise lost their liberty. but
they did not complain. He explained
that they were due to go ashore at
San Juan, Puerto Rico, but that lust
before they arrived aboard the battle
