The Morosini Castle in the Movies.

Riverdale would be complete. There is the beauti-

Here in the last reel the whole scene is bathed in
mystery. Telephone wires down, llawkshaws
by the dozen stride the halls and lawns, servants
sammer at passwords while Beauty and Lochinrar
remain estranged. Any good "mOvie" author could
write stirring d6noUcmeHt to such plot in his

cause it shook the House Of Hapsburg to its foun-

The Emperor's whiskers are among the most
cherished Of the sights OF Vienna. They have been
reproduced on all the postage stamps; thousands
OF high officials and officers Of the army have
copied them: coins and bank bills are stamped with
them Their removal. 1t confidently predicted,

And did you look forward into the dark
ness and hear the quiet hum OF 400 men
before the mast talking soberly, forbid
den to "skylark'? Did you remember
that these 400 men were forbidden, under
heavy penalties. to bring liquor aboard
ship, or 10 drink It on board when 1t
was smugsled?
Don't you know that there we're men
among that crew OF 400 who scorned their
"superiors," sitting down there at the
wardroom mess Licking up the booze?
Don't you know there were many men
aboard that ship who saw the unsteady
walk and heard the fAterins voice of an
officer OF the deck who came up TO take
his watch at eight bells In the evening?
Obviously, Secretary Daniels will have
the overwhelming sentiment Of the citi-
zens of the country at his back. We have
just read that Lloyd George, backed by
the common citizens of England, is I'm the
mood to democratize the army OF Eng

PROHIBITION IN THE NAVY
A Reader Protests Against a Frivolous
Attitude.

To the Editor OF Tho Tribune.
Sir: Don't YOU think II is about time to
stop poking fun at the statesmen of this
country who happen TO have high moral
standards and who live up 10 them? The
cartoon on your editorial page this morn
ing Is disgrace 10 your otherwise good
paper.
Isn't il an ACKNOWLEDGED fact that fully
% per cent Of all crimes are caused d.
rectly or indirectly by the use of alcoholic
drinks? / am not an advocate of prohl-
bition myself; in fact, | use such things
moderately, but I am certainly an ad-
mirer OF any one who docs not drink.
once witnessed the loading Of one OF
our battleshps preparatory to a short
voyage. The amount of booze loaded
was enormous. An acquaintance OF mine,
who was "a lieutenant commander In the
United States Navy, died about five years
ago of delirium tremens. II seems TO me
that Secretary Daniels made very wise
move In removing that which was likely
TO reduce the efficiency OF the men whom
We educate and pay to handle the de-
fences of our homes.
oarrassment put upon our officers In not
being able 10 offer the social drink TO
officers of other nations. DO YOU hon
cstly think that is any argument? Do
we build and support large navy for
tho social entertainment OF others?
Rather than cmbarrass our officers, won't
they rather feel proud that this great
nation has taken the lead in much
needed reform?
II is a fact that heavy drinking is very
prevalent among the officers in both
army and navy. and ii is about time that
some such action were taken.
The grapejuice episode in connection
with Secretary Bryan is perhaps some
what out of date. but rather than rldi-
culing him for his own personal views OF
such n high moral standard, don't YOU
think he should have the unqualified
praise OF every one who strives toward
the betterment of our lives?

Now that Governor Glynn has signed the bill

AN APPEAL FROM THE HOSPITALS
The Need of Contributions for Free
Service Is Urgent.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Due to prevailing conditions, the
hospitals have this year received less in
contributions than usual. The same con-
ditions have, nevertheless. necessitated
far more free hospital service to the
poor. Hospitals, like the rest of us.
must make both ends meet. They are
nobly keeping up the service end. There
are surely many New York men and
women willing TO help on the financial
end at such a time.
