Directing that the 150 deserters be IIDed up In the prison yard, Secretary Wilbur presented to each two aheeta of paper and a pencil, and asked that each write one hundred words or more on: "Why I Joined tbe Navy" and "Why I Left the Navy." As be handed the writing material to the erstwhile aallora and marbaea who were paying the penalty of "taklna French leave" of the naval aervlce he informed eacb that bls atatementa would be considered by tbe Navy department at tbelr face value.
