 Receive Copy of Presidents Letter

 The letter runs:
 The Presidents Letter.
 "The officers who were responsible for the programme of the evening are certainly deserving of 8 very serious administered; and cannot rid my self of a feeling of great disappoint- ment that the general body of officers assembled at the dinner should have greeted the carrying out of such 8 pro- gramme with apparent indifference to most dtgnifed and sacred traditions of the service.
 RidicuIe of Their SuPeriors.
 T am told that the songs and other amusements of the evening were in- tended and regarded as fun What are we to think of officers of the army and navy of the United States who think 1t fun to bring their official su- periors into ridicule and the policies of the government which they are sworn to serve with unQuestioning loyalty into contempt?
 If this is their idea of fun what is their idea of 'duty?' If they did not hold their loyalty above all silly eff fervescences of childish wit. what about their profession do they hold sacred?
 Recall Them to Their Ideals.
 My purpose, therefore. in adminis- tering this reprimand is to recall the men who are reported for this lower ing of standards to their ideals; to re- mind them of the high conscience with which they ought to have; the duty above personal indulgence. and to think of themselves as responsible men and trusted soldiers even while they are amusing themselves as diners out'
 Presidents Letter the Reprimand.
 Secretaries Garrison and Daniels de- cided to administer the reprimaud by transmitting 8 copy of the presidents letter to each member of the enter tainment committee.
 Secretary Garrison immediately sent this memorandum to Major General Leonard Wood. chief of staff of the army:
 Secretary Garrison's Order.
 Tt is hereby ordered that the off, cers of the United States army who were on the dinner committee, and were therefore responsible for the pro- gramme of entertainment at the re- cent dinner of the Military Order of the Carabao, held Dec. il, 1913, be reprimanded in pursuance of the com munication of the president to me, dated Dec. 22. 1913. copy herewith. The form that the reprimand should take should be to furnish each of said officers 8 copy of the letter from the president"
 Secretary Daniels probably will is- sue a similar order tomorrow, making the presidential rebuke effective toW- ard the navy officers.
