Chairman. when one of these commercial steamships. flying even the American flag. gets 12 miles out at sea. it opens its bar. On the Army and the Navy transports liquor is forbidden. and. it is a good rule and a good regulation. when you have several hundred men. most of them enlisted men. on board for a long voyage. Another consideration to which I direct your attention is that if we put our enlisted men into the steerage of these commercial ships. what will become of the secrecy of our military operations? They will be accessible to the representatives and agents of every foreign country. All kinds of information will be gathered from them as they are sailing on these ships.
