GEORGE FRIED (Copyright, 1929, Associated Press) Chapter IV Learning to toe the mark was never a difficult experience for me. I learned the rudiments of disci- pline in the Army, but I had more of a thorough training when I en- listed in the Navy. Sometimes it is rather difficuit to receive orders constantly and obey them. There is a routine the Army and Navy have outlined for their men. This routine is, of course, rupted by special orders and com- mands. They must be carried out, and it is not unusual for a superior officer to issue orders that are an- noying to the recipient. Early in my career I learned to follow all commands and to question none.

I went back to my usual course of duties with great zest and determi- | nation and made up my mind that, always be on the alert, keeping an| eye on the job to which I was as- signed. After all, it was not so difficult. There was no rason why| I should not watch the waters around the ship, when that was a part of my duty. I should have kept an eye on the German ship, after I had saluted her, and, above all, T should hdve taken the rep- rimand like a man.
