Lieut.. Commander Frank T. Evans, command
ing the Naval Training Station, at Newport, R. l.,
has forbidden the singing of "Tipperary" by the
naval apprentices there, and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels has expressed approval of his action, on
the ground that "Tipperary" is the marching song
of the British forces and it ought not to be sung
or played by American sailors any more than
should the "Marseillaise" or Die Wacht Am
Rhen." "Tipperary" is simple Irish ballad set
to music that has swing, and it happens to be
popular just now in the British army. OF course
we mustn't let our in uniform strain neu-
trality by singing it. but shall have to keep in
close touch with those bloomn' British soldiers
SO that in case they get to singing HAS Anybody

that any of our embryo men of war who forget
themselves will be lenienty dealt with. 1t is easy

matrimony was being considered by the

given date in each year all spinsters who

December, thou hast come, and in thy

Come thoughts of gloom, Of sorrow, and

Thy visage lowers bleak. and dark thy

Where yesterday all smiling was the

Now covereth the land with frosty rime
And eager seems the portion of the earth
To rout mans JOY and subjugate his

A German naval officer writes to the

From your today's paper I incIose a

the British naval losses of twenty ships.
