its honor has never been smirched.

precisely that sort of a call. Tlenty

If tbe emercency is an imme

pected to get under way in 20 min
utes said Admiral Billard. "Steam
ia alwaya kept up. If the captain haa
gone home to aee his family and can
not get bark In time the first officer
takes the ship."

In the ice season the roast guard

rather than to chase speed boat

thirsts ashore. Under a law now al
most 100 years old they cruise the
seaa from tbo beginning to theend
of tbe winter season in search of
mariners needing aid. In one sverage

Coast Osard Older Thaa Navy.
If congress grants the transfer of
the fast destroyer from the nary the
coast guard will bo able to continue
it primary duty and still enforce the
customs laws for it will then have
Lbs tool with which to work. Only
on thing bother Admiral BQlard.
The doubling of the fadlitle of tbo
coast guard will entail a doubling of
th personnel. Officers and man af
the coast guard hav always been
hand-picked. They must measure up
to aa exacting standard In mind and
atroagta and courare and demrinn ta
duty.
It may seem a hard ioh to ret
the right men" aaid Admiral Billard.
"But we do not wrorrv. We'll rt
them. The wrong sort of a man
oould not stay ia the service"
xnat a waore tradition counts. The
coast guard is the oldest maritime
service In the United Statea govern-
ment Born in 1790 it antedated the
navy by some years. It bwu with
10 cutters carrying two officers snd
Mx men each. The duty then was
to watch smuggling in the ports and
emorce tne Basra time law. Then
the spread ol piracy demanded larger
vessels. Th coast guard haa taken
part ia every war of tbe United
Bute except that agamst Tripoli. It
fought and captured French and Brit.
lah privateers in tbe early years and
German submarines in tne great war
No Brlbiry or Dishonesty.
"Without a blot mind you says
the captain-commandant "Not one
man of our eervice baa ever been
charged with taking a bribe or dis
bpnesty. Utile things yea. They're
husky full-bodied men in tbo coast
mard. Thev have to be to stick to
the work. But no big things. The
eervice is clesn."
Thirty yesrs ago he gav up teach-
ing Latin and. Greek Rb tbe cproat-
Ing youth to enter the service. It
seemed an odd start '
"I don't know why." be said. "Not
tbe love for adventure particularly.
I wanted to serve tbo government at
tea. I think."
So he has been with the coast
guard everjlnce. Not long ago an
effort wa made to merge the coast
auard with the navy. That waa de
Lfeated. Th cosst guard service is
entirely distinct and naval officer
are not permitted to enforce civilian
laws. Militarism lies that wsy. But
the coast guardsmen had not been
fairly treated in the matter of pay or
rank or retirement until a recently
enacted law placed officers and men
on a parity witb the nary in all these
matters. Now the guard ia to bo
still further increased so that it can
perform it manifold dutiea to it
own satisfaction.
Saoat Sixteen Years at Sea.
Sixteen of Admiral Billard' SO
year' eervice were . spent ' at sea.
Then that long buried pedagogic in-
stinct manifested itself snd he was
placed in chsrge of tbe cosst gusrd
service' own academy at New Lon
don. There its picked material ia
made ready for any one of tbe varied
services the coast guard demands of
Its men. Its officers must know how
to board a wallowing ship at aea or
rnn a lifeboat through the surf. They
must bsve a bookfui of lsws at tbeir
fingers' ends be able to la;
