DEWEY DENIES STORY
OF MAKING PROTEST
Rumor that He Wanted Promotion Of
Naval Officers Is Untrue, 1t
Is Declared.

Published reports that George
Dewey, Admiral Of the Navy, had pro-
tested to President Wilson against the
order of Secretary of the Navy Daniels
deferring the promotion of Capt.
Templin NJ. Potts and Commander
Philip Andrews until they shall have
had more sea service are untrue was
made known tonight.
When advised Of what was being
printed in connection with the cases
of Capt. Potts and Commander An
drews. Admiral Dewey yesterday sent
word to Secretary Daniels, through a
mutual friend, denying the report
published. Secretary Daniels was like
wise assured that, while Admiral
Dewey has the warmest regard for the
two officers concerned. he is in entire
sympathy with the policy announced
by Secretary Daniels with regard to
sea duty as a requisite for promotion.
Friends of Capt. Potts and Commander
Andrews feel that both officers have
been made the victims of the esteem
in which they were held by former Sec
rotary Of the Navy Meyer, who kept
them at the Navy Department, and thus
prevented their getting vne additional
sea service which Secretary Daniels de-
mands as a requisite of their promotion.
1t is understood that friends of Capt.
Potts are disposed to make a stiff fight
in his behalf. Commander Andrews has
prevented any appeal being made in his
case. and is going to take the COM
mand assigned TO him without protest.
Capt. Potts has been assigned to COM
mand the Louisiana, and Commander
Andrews will command the Montana

MOORE WILL ECLIPSE
OTHER SUBORDNATES
New State Department Counselor will
Be Acting Secretary in Mr..
Bryan's Absence.

The legislation Of the last Congress
| by which the Counselor Of the State
Department will become the Acting Sec
rotary in the absence of the head OF
| the department, will not lend to the
offices of the Assistant Secretaryships
the importance they have heretofore pos
sessed.
With the confirmation by the Senate
of his nomination as Counselor. Prof
John Bassctt Moore will become Sec
rotary Bryan's chief aid.
Formerly the First Assistant acted in
the absence of the Secretary, and dur
ing the Knox administration, Hunting
ton Wilson made the position one of the
very highest Importance, next to that
Of the Secretary himself Under the new
law 1t follows that former Gov. John E.
Osborne of wyoming. who is to succeed
Huntington Wilson, will WELD no such
influence in matters of foreign relations
as did his predecessor.
Under the new regime. Prof Moore is
to be expert adviser to President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan on all matters of
foreign relations. He will at once become
the official on whom the President and
Mr.. Bryan will rely.
There is no question of the fact that
Prof. Moore is one of the few men in the
United States whose capacity and ability
in matters of foreign relations is recoS-
nized in all civilized nations, and his eX-
ceptional attachments have been recog-
nized by both Democratic and Republican
administrations. He served in the STATE
Department as third assistant secretary
under Cleveland's first administration,
and then, in 1898, President Mckinley
called him in to direct the diplomatic side
of the war with Spain. During Roose-
velt's term he was sent to Buenos Aires
to represent the United States in the CEN
tennial celebration of 1910. and last sum-
mer represented this country at the con-
vention Of international jurists at Rio de
Janeiro. Mr.. Knox urged him to accept
a position at the State Department under
the Taft administration. but he declined
to give up his work at Columbia Univee
sity and other private work he has been
engaged in for some time.

bers Of the weaker sex at the same time.
Mr.. McMaster said:
"The influence of Americas women
| extends far beyond the national boun-
dairy to all the nations of the earth. No
student of modern history could fail to
recognize the large part played by
America In leading the world in ways
of justice and chivalry, yet how seldom
we stopped to realize how largely that
leadership has been due to the splendid
and tireless initiative of the American
woman. Nobly has she recompensed. not
alone her own country, but the world.
for the consideration accorded her in this
new land.
I'VE ought to hail with Joy the ever
deepening interest of the women Of this
nation in the nations life. Sometimes
We hear criticisms of women's clubs
and sometimes the criticism is deserved,
but one fact il significant, while a mans
club il for his personal ease and COM
fort. the woman's clubs are mostly or
ganized Cor work, be 1t education. phil
anthropy, or some phase of social re-
form. 1t is not that men are naturally
Indifferent or careless. but that en-
crossed in business enterprise, they have
been slow to realize their duty to their
country and their fellow-men.
lon the other hand, woman's greatest
interest in all social welfare movements
may be. and doubtless is, due to her
greater interest In church life, and the
spiritual quickening resultant there
from draws forth the love and yearn-
ing of her woman heart toward the I'M
fortunate and suffering in an effort to
right their wrongs.
"But there is a danger-the danger
that our noble American women. in their
enthusiasm for social reform, shall for
get the scenes amidst which the en-
thusiasm was born and the spiritual
conditions which gave II birth. What II
amidst the splendid and enthusiastic
work for the uplft of the race, intel
lectually, morally, and physically, we
should forget that man is spiritual and

DANGER FROM GRIPPE
Lies in That Cough and Weak,
WORKOUT Condition.

Grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia, these
are greatly to be feared at this time
OF the year.
TO prevent grippe from being fol-
lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo-
mia, 1t Is important to drive the last
traces Of 1t out Of the system quickly.
Our advice Is to take vinol, our
delicious cod liver and iron prepare
ton without oil, and get your strength
and vitality back quickly.
Mrs. A. A. Grabill, of Strasburg,
Va. says: Grippe left me weak, run
down and with severe cough, from
which l suffered four years. I tried
different remedies, but nothing seemed
to do me any good until took VinoI,
from which L received great benefit
My cough is alr2o~t entirely gone, and
| am strong and wei again, and am
clad to recommend Vinol to others
who suffer as did,
Try Vinol with the certainty
that if it does not benefit
you we will give back your money.
