Saturday
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Nov. 8. Captain
Edward H. Watson Is "ready and anx
ious to tuko his jncdlclno tor tbo good
of the navy."
During the first few minutes after
tbe naval court martial which beard
the Honda disaster case of Captain
Watson, commander of destroyer
squadron eleven went into executive
sesfllon to deliberate upon the finding,
the accused officer, fresh from the
ordeal of the wltnoBs stand, made a
statement both surprising and signifi
cant, a statement declared by Ills
brother officers to be worthy a man
with a record of 32 years excellent
sorvlce Id the United States navy.
Asked If he expected release from ar
rest within a short time which would
mean acquittal of the charges of cul
pable inefficiency with which be was
charged, the captain looked up quick
ly from the paper which be was read
ing. .' "I don't want an acquittal; no sir,
I don't want It,'' was the reply of the
destroyer force officer. "For me to be
completely acquitted by this court
would be. bad for the naval service, to
which both my father and myself have
devoted our lives. . I bellove that no
man In charge of vessels of the navy
at sea should got clear away when ves
sels are wrecked and lives are lost.
All' I want here 1b proper punishment
and by that I mean punishment for the
actual offense committed If I had
been oharged, with 'inefficiency,' I
would not have entered the plea I did.
I would have pleaded guilty and taken
my punishment at once. But I could
not plead guilty to 'culpable Inefficien
cy.' It was that charge that I am
fighting.' I made a seaman's decision
and I was in error, I am ready to
abide by the consequences of that er
ror. ' I want punishment must have It
for the morale of the service but I
want punishment for the offense com
mitted. I long ago on tbo witness
stand In the court of inquiry took re
sponsibility for the crash and I want
that responsibility.' But I must Insist
that tbe mistake was one of error In
Judgment . based on misinformation
and an Incorrect estimation of condi
tions, not the mlstuke of culpable In
efficiency." " .

BoloitWis. "My female trouble was
brought on by overwork, I had worked
in stores ana nau to
do heavier work than
mv strength could
stand, and had to be
on my loot most of
the time. Finally I
had to give up this
work entirely and
stay at home. Doc-
give me much relief,
and my mother
wanted me to take
Lvdia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. I took a couple of
bottlesof it and thought it did not help me
as much as it should, so I gave it up to try
something else. Nothing I took helped
me much, so I finally decided to give the
Vogotnblo Compound anothor trial and
to tako enough of it to make sure
it would help mo. I have taken it over
a year now and it has brought wonder
ful results, I havo gained from 93 to
1 10 pounds and am keeping house now.
My friends all notice the change in my
health, I will bo glad to answer all
letters that women write to me about
the Vegetable Compound." Mrs. W.
G. Monhon, lGlCPark Ave.,Belolt, Wis.'
Mrs. Monson is willing to write to any
woman suffering from such troubles.
