During forty years ol de sultory wandering in that time I have come to know and to love the men of the Coast Guard and be lieve I can fairly appraise their worth to their country. It is true of course, that from time to time, men who are temperamentally un suited to the needs of the service .,n.i others, who have stained its r.Wo cViiold have been enlistea ani remained to its discredit; but for these circumstances none are ivo'-e responsible than the authori- tiis for the green material they tr.lbted. On the whole, 1 believe that from the beginning of the or ganization until now, the greater majority of men in the Coast Guard service have been of the highest type of citizens their local ities have produced.
