Getting his friends into trouble appears to be about the only thing the alleged editor of the Globe is a success at.
Lieut. Flipper wrote him a private letter in regard to his troubles, but the fact that an army officer had condescended to notice him so elated the alleged editor that he could not rest until he had the letter in print.
As a consequence an additional charge of violating the army regulations was preferred against Lieut. Flipper.
Thus through the stupidity, to say the least, of a supposed friend the unhappy Lieutenant is subjected to additional aggravation.
