GUAttO SECKET CODE BOOK
Signals to Be Uced by Navy In Time
of War One of the Most Close
of Secrets.
Few things are so jealously guarded
, us the aecret code book of the United
I States navy. It is a book of signals—
not the ordinary "wig-wag" signals
used in the daily direction of the fleet
by a commanding oliicer—but a code
of signals to be used solely In time of
war aiid in the presence of an enemy.
These secret code books are Issued
only to the executive officers of a ship,
who are enjoined to protect them
| against theft by every possible means.
! These books are threatened not so
much by the ordinary thief as by se-
1 cret emissaries of other governments
1 who desire to obtain knowledge of
what our battleships would do In time
of action. Governments have no scru-
ples against theft in such cases.
The loss of one of these secret code
books by an officer, unless explained
to the entire satisfaction of the secre-
tary of the navy, would mean court-
martial and probable expulsion from
the service. To the honor of our ser-
vice, no officer has ever yet been
brought up charged with loss. • . . ,

bidexterity i that of Mr. Townsend,
the art editor of Punch. Ilis drawings
are done with the left hand, but his

is left-handed as a billiard player, but

when he plays cricket he is a left-

batsman. When you have achieved
such ambidexterity you might cut off
