The storm broke this morning when
the President, who had read the ac-
counts of the dinner I'm the newspapers,
sent word TO Secretary Garrison, telling
him to make thorough investigation.
Secretary Daniels summoned Admiral
Howard. who presided over the dinner.
and expressed TO him his displcasure.
He told him that he thought the song
Damn. Damn Damn tho 1nsur-
rocto" was n bad thing to sing Nd

Damn. damn damn the iusurroctos, cross

And return MS to our own beloved homes.
There's a land q dopy dreams. far from

oIdtime customs there are few, all the
members hack and now
At the stand-pat bunch in manner Ear

They believe in making Hay. Warren for

When the pie is cut each wants the
biggest slice.
I've a large and growing bunch that THIS
ingurrecto bunch
Would have been the chaps 10 cop the

Poor old Jason in his hunt would ha'"
pulled better stunt
Had he the crowd that left ne in the

II the President, after he learns the
facts still wants 10 court martial army
officers for their participation in ;he
affair he can do so. Charges might be
formulated according 10 the articles OF
war. one article recitcs that show
of disrespcct for the President, tor
members Of the Cabinet. for Congress
or for Governors of states may be pun
ished by dismissal. A charge might
also be founded on Article 81, which
covers conduct unbecoming an officer
and "A gentleman" Similar regulations
prevail in tho navy. II is considered
exceedingly doubtful. however, that
any military court would ever convict
officers on evidence adduced from this
dinner.
Song Grated on Daniels.
Secretary Daniels, who was present
and was the principal speaker, said to-
day that the only thing that happened
while he was there--he left early TO
attend a reception-was the song
Damn, Damn! Damn. the Insurrecto,"
the title Of which, however. Mr.. Daniels
would not repeat. To-day he said thar
the song grated upon me and |
thought, Gracious. The idea Of men
doing a thing like that. But | didn't
say anything about IT. being n guest"
Mr. Daniels said that the song would
be republished in the Philippines and
would cause a bad impression there.
He said that il would not do TO make
the Filipinos the butt Of fun like that
lie considers the song in bad taste but
believes that the young men who sang
1t did so without thinking. Mr. Daniels
considers that army and navy officers
ought not 10 do such things. as they
are part Of the government. and
