FOE OF EFFICIENCY IN NAVY
Commander-In-chief of British Allan.
tic Fleet Declares Alcohol Is
DetrIment to Men.


The following clear and striking de-
claration by Sir J. R. Jellicoe, com
mander-in-chief of the British Atlantic
fleet, shows how the most responsible
officers of the navy regard alcohol as
the great foe of efficiency among men
of the service:
ANY officer holding a command
which carries with 1t any measure OF
responsibility for the defence of the
empire must recognize, as / do, the
value of temperance in promoting
lighting efficiency. In the navy there
are three qualities upon which eff
cheney mainly depends. They are dis
cipline, straight shooting, and endur-
ance, and temperance unquestionably
tends greatly to the promotion of these
qualities. In regard to discipline, one
has only to look at the punishment re-
turns to realize how many of the dis
ciplinary offences are due at the out
set to intemperance. AS for endurance.
medical research has amply proved tho
fact that temperance is a great as
set In improving physical qualities,
and, therefore, the endurance of the
human race. But of our own personal
experience we know that we do not
drink alcohol just before a football
match or boat race. If we do we
shall fail, and the same is true of any
other pursuit involving endurance. AS
regards straight shooting, which is SO
largely a question of eye, 1t is every
ones experience that abstinence IL
necessary for the highest efficiency.

should like to refer to the experience
of Capt Ogilvy, who. regret to say,
died some eighteen months ago. He
was the officer who did such good

Ladysmith. Commencing under Sir
Percy Scott in the Terrible, he later
commanded the Grafton, a gunnery

of the feet in gunlayers' test He
went carefully into statistics, and
found that the shooting efficiency of
men was 30 per cent better before
than after the grog issue. He put his
figures in the form OF curve, and It
behooves an admiral when chasing an
enemy's feet and manoeuvering for
position to consider the grog curve as
well as the position of the sun and
direction of the wind. These facts
will show, think, that naval officers
are fully alive to the advantage Of
temperance in promoting fighting eff.

General Barry was born in New

SPAIN SERVES NOTICE
 OF HER INTENTIONS

Madrid, July Spanish Portuguese relations suffered a violent wrench, to- day. They were badly strained prev iously. If Portugal were strong enough there would be a clash. Some sort of trouble may yet occur if the Portuguese can get foreign backing which is possible
 For some time the Lisbon govern ment has complained that King AL fonso has been encouraging the roy alist rebellion in northern Portugal. Finally, England and France were per- suaded to tell him that he ought to mantain neutrality along his side of the frontier. Furious, but afraid to offend England and France, he made a pretense of doing it.
 Evidently however, the humiliation was too much for Spain to continue bearing indefinitely. It was given out from official sources here today that unless Portugal pays for having Por- tuguese royalist prisoners arrested on the Spanish side of the frontier and for keeping them after they have been arrested, they will all be turned loose. It was added that Spain does not pro- pose to mobilize it's entire army to keep the royalists from going back to Portugal
 The tone of the announcement, even more than it's substance, has enraged the Portuguese republicans and ex- plantations are certain to be demand ed.

ROSEDALE IN DRY DOCK. Local Excursion Steamer Will Re. sune Trips in Few Days-Not
 Seriously Damaged,

The steamer Rosedale, which was rammed by the steamer Nassau in Rockaway Inlet yesterday afternoon had the whole of it's port side, above the water line and few feet below, just forward of the pilot house, car ried away. The port side hog frame was cut where it stood out between the decks. about eight feet of it be- ing carried away. It is believed, how ever, that the hog frame prevented the hull of the boat from being cut through which probably would have resulted in the immediate sinking of the vessel. The crews quarters were wrecked, the bunks being smashed into splinters and the deck being cut through a distance o9 ten feet. The boat was lowed off the beach about o'clock last night, the hole in her side having been temporarily closed. The boat is now in New York city, drydocked. Capt. Aiming J. Smith of this city, who owns the boat, believes that the repairs can be made within a short time and the boat will be back into commission within couple of weeks
