ALCOHOL BARRED FROM NAVY

Alcohol as a beverage has been
barred out of the United States
Navy. Following the recommends
tion of Surgeon General Braistead,
Secretary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels has issued an executive or
der abolishing all alcoholic liquors
from every ship and station of the
Navy. The order reads, The use or
introduction, for drinking purposes.
Of alcoholic liquors on board any
naval vessels, or within any naval
yard or station is strictly prohibit
ed and commanding officers will be
held responsible for the enforce
ment of this order" The signiH-
canoe and extent of the change
which has taken place in popular
views regarding alcohol, as indi-
Gated by his sweeping order of the
secretary, al be appreciated only
when one recalls the stories OF
naval experiences of past genera
tions, when rum. brandy AMI whis-
key formed part of the regular
official rations, when liquor of some
kind was served, as a routine pro-
ceduTe to officers and men before
going into action. and when one OF
the chief characteristics of sailors,
whether officers or seamen, was
their ability to dispose Of a amaz-
ing quantity OF intoxicants. The
development of scientific me hods
and the S of instruments of pre-.
cision in warfare have made alcohol
absolutely detrimental to the mod
ern naval man. Sea-fights in the
past we're won by brute hardihood
and physical endurance which could
perhaps be stimulated, temporarily
at least by large doses of alcohol.
The modern warship is q floating
laboratory If delicate and accurate
machinery. The gun pointer who
directs a 14-inch rife on the mod
ern man-of-war needs not only per-
sonal courage, but also absolute
steadiness of nerve, c~learness of
vision and fine muscular coordina-
ton. All these things modern ply
siology has shown to be impaired
by even small amounts Of alcohol.
The engineer who superintends the
machinery at the heart of the mod
ern battleship, the man at the
wheel who directs its course and
the captain or the executive Office,
on the bridge as we'll as the most
humble member of the crew, needs
at all times to be in a condition of
maximum physical and mental efic-
iency. lntoxicdtion in the naval
officer today might easily be as dis
astrvus as cowardice and treason.
The Journal of the American Mcdi-
cal Association thinks that Surgeon
General Braisted's Recommended
tions and Secretary Daniels order
are simply in line with our grow.
ing knowledge. The nation needs
ON its battleship today tho most
capable. clear-headed. cool. Drained
and steady-handed men, and these
men are not found among the habit
ual or occasional user Of alcohol in
any form. Entirely aside from
moral or sentimental reasons, and
considered simply as a scientific re-
gulation in the interest of efic-
iency, this order will recommend
itself to the vast majority of the
American people.

Brighten Folk

When Emilio Cipolleseii, proprietor
OF the rooming house at No. 139 Rus
sellst., stepped from his bedroom on
the second floor at . o'clock Monday
morning he stumbled over tin olive
oil can that stood just outside the
door. The can was decidedly heavy,
and as Cipolleseli stoope dto examine
II, he saw a fuse, about six inches
long, protruding from the top OF the
can that had been neatly cemented.
The fuse had gone out, however, from
some cause that is puzzle TO the
police, and the Ave pounds of gun
powder in the bomb was not ex-
ploded.
Cipolleseli's wife and two children
were asleep in the bedroom, outside
Which the bomb lay. Fifteen board.
ers were in the house.
Cipolleseli at once notified the po-
lice, and Detectives Patrick O'Grady
and ID. o. Smith were sent out TO
The only explanation
that they can give for the failure Of
the fuse, Is that the "terrorists" did
not intend to destroy Cipolleseli and
his family and boarders, but only to
frighten them, and that after lighting
the fuse and letting 1t burn for a
moment, they pinched the fuse and
left the bomb by the door, an object
lesson TO Cipolleseli of what they
might accomplish If they wanted to.
The detectives took the bomb TO
