an end last night with a big mass meet

is the second fight of the "drys" against
the vets, here, the first having been

declared illegal by Judge Staples on the
ground that the treasurer's records were
not in condition for an election of this
kind to De held.

LUNCH FOR NAVY YARD MEN.
Women's Federation, Under Miss
Morgan's Leadership, Plans Reforms

| Extensive reforms in the Washington
navy yard, particularly in the service Of
luncheons to the employees, are proposed
by the executive committee Of the Ma
tional Civic Federation of Women. under
the leadership of Miss Anne Morgan,
daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan. Under
| the existing system the employees of the
yard sometimes have to go without their
luncheon because of inadequate accommo-
dations and the short time allowance.
Miss Morgan's plan contemplates the
erection of one-story building sufficient
| ly large to accommodate all the employees
of the yard. A similar building was erect.
ed at the New York navy yard several
months ago and has proved decided
convenience to the employees, as we'll as
F! to the government The success of that
institution led to the request for Miss
Morgans aid in improving conditions at
the Washington yard.
The matter will come before the quar-
terly meeting of the executive committee
Of the National Federation to be held at
the Waldorf in New York city the latter
part of next month. At that time re-
port will be made on the subject by Mrs.
Archibald Hopkins and Mrs. Richard

10 the Editor Of The Star:
In reference to current Army and Navy
Union gossip. l desire to say that there
Will be no rival Of the Army and Navy
Union in the District of Columbia, no
matter what reforms may be effected
within the present organization, unless
there Is decided change in the ranks of
veterans generally. This was unmistak-
ably forecasted in the attitude of present
members of the Army and Navy Union
two years ago. when the Washington gar
risons were suspended and several Of the
suspended comrades obtained articles of
incorporation under the laws governing
the District Of Columbia. 1t is immaterial
what reasons prevented the local gar
risons from taking advantage of the on
portunity then offered them, but it is a
fact that they did not do So; neither did
those who were considered leaders, but
had not themselves the foresight to in
