RELIEVED OF ACTIVE DUTY.
Rear Admirals Sperry and Swim
burne Take Up Home Life.

Rear Admirals c. 8. sperry and w. r.
Swinburne, who were recently retired be-
cause they had reached the age limit for
active service In the navy, have been re-
lieved from further duty at the Naval
War College at Newport and ordered to
proceed to their homes. These officers
were continued on active duty with the
full pay of their rank, after their statu-
tory retirement. in order to enable them
to complete certain technical work on
which they were engaged at the time.
Their relief from active duty is in accord
with the policy of the administration OF
placing all important duties in the hands
of officers on the active list The only
exception of Importance to that policy at
this time is afforded in the case OF Rear
Admiral w. s. Cowles. who continues TO
hold the Office of chief of the bureau OF
equipment, despite his retirement for age
over a year ago.
Rear Admiral Sperry commanded the
Atlantic battleship fleet on its memorable
cruise around the world from San Fran
cisco to Hampton roads. The last sea
service performed by Rear Admiral Swim
burne was as commander-in-chief Of the

ARMY AND NAVY UNION SPLIT
ROOSEVELT GARRISON VOTES TO
WITHDRAW.
Action the Result Of Dissatisfaction
Over Financial Condition Of the
National Organization.

Roosevelt Garrison, No. "A, Army and
Navy Union, has unanimously adopted a
resolution to withdraw from the organiza-
ton. In statement given out last even
ing. at the end of a special executive ses-
sion, 1t was said that the garrison will
formally withdraw at its next regular
meeting Monday night. 1t was explained
that a step of such importance could be
taken only at regular meeting.
The resolution adopted last night read:
After carefully considering the condition
of affairs in the national body Of the
Army and Navy Union, the Roosevelt
Garrison finds that it no longer can con-
sistently remain part of that organiza-
ton. and that 1t shall sever its connec-
ton
Sentiment favoring the withdrawal has
grown ever since the delegates from the
District returned from the Erie encamp-
ment, where the reports of tine national
officers showed that the finances of the
union were not in a satisfactory condi-
ton. The shortage is estimated at about
$4,000.
After the resolution to withdraw had
been adopted there was considerable dis
cussion as to what should be done with
the records and property of the garrison.
Some members thought that they should
be turned over to the national organiza-
ton and others declared they should not.
The matter was finally postponed until
next Monday night.
During the deliberations last night Ma
tional Commander j. Edwin Browne of
Baltimore was severely criticised for al
legged mismanagement Of the national or
ganization and its funds. AS Roosevelt
Garrison is generally regarded as the
leading garrison of the District, there is
considerable speculation as to what ac-
tim the other FIVE District orpa ion G
will take. Members of Roosevelt Gar
rison believe that eventually another
strong national organization will be
formed.

PRAISES OF THE FATHERLAkD
PROGRAM OF EXERCISES AT
GERMAN DAY CELEBRATION.
Addresses by Leading Residents.
Music by Local Societies-Dis-
coverer Cook Cheered.

Everything was merry as wedding
bell at National Rifles Hall last night.
where the United German Societies met to
do honor to ''Deutscher tag" or German
day. The big hall was crowded with ell
Derby men and matrons. young men and
girls, and a pleasant program of speeches
song and music kept every one in the best
of humor. After the formal program had
been disposed Of there was a session OF
dancing.
The speeches brought forth loud cheer
ing. The remarks made by Kurt Voelkner.
Patrick Moran. who represented the A. o.
H.. and Rev. DR.. George Brodthage of
the German Lutheran st. Johns Church
reflected patriotism and love of father
land Also there was enthusiasm aroused
by the presence Of Mrs. Mary A. Wallace,
lineal descendant Of Franz Daniel Pas
torius, founder of the first German settle
mant in this country.
Opening Addresses.
Kurt voelkner, president Of the German
Central verein, made the opening speech,
after an orchestra had played lively lit
tie overture. Mr.. Voelkner reminded his
hearers that they should ever be proud of
their lineage and do their best toward
helping the land Of their adoption to be
the greatest country in all the world. He
introduced DR.. Brodthage. who said that
the names of Germans could be found
everywhere in the foremost ranks OF
those who were fighting for the uplift of
the world. When he cited DR.. Cook. the
discoverer Of the north POLE there was q
storm of cheers that made the big hall
fairly rock. DR.. Brodthage wound up his
remarks with an invective against the
prohibition movement.
Flattering Reception.
Mr. Moran received a flattering recep-
ton. The A. o. H. has just had the CO.
operation Of the German societies in the
Irish fair and field day. and 1t seemed
that last night was psychologically the
correct time for leading Irishman to
address the Germans. Mr.. Moran's speech
received loud applause. He sang the
praises Of many a German and German
American and concurred heartily in DR..
Brodthage's arraignment Of the prohibi-
ton movement.
Other features Of the evening were the
Rotations by Ernst Gichner, singing by
the Germania Maennerchor, the Arions
and the Saengerbund and music by Ho-
ler's Orchestra. F.. A. Rockar, president
OF the Arion Society, was to have made
an address. but he broke his arm recently
and could not be present last night.

the annual address of the retiring presi-

everything which had been done in behalf
of total abstinence in all of the states of

evil should concentrate their efforts for
prohibition legislation before the coming
session of Congress.
