DENIES HE PLACED A BAN
ON SINGING OF 'TIPPERARY'
Secretary Daniels Explains How
Rumor of Official Order Probably
Gained Currency.

Owing to a general misunderstanding
of the facts in the case, Secretary Dan
iels today took occasion to deny that
he had issued an order forbidding off,
GERS and men in the navy from singing
"Tipperary," the popular marching song
of the British troops.
The Navy Department" he said, has
no Information in regard to this matter
other than the newspaper account, but
the Secretary assumes that on some
official occasion the officer in charge of
enlisted men at Newport, in order to
avoid the possibility of offending the
nationals of any of the belligerents of
the present European war, issued an
order to refrain from singing any
songs that are generally recognized as
the marching songs of the belligerents,
and with thissassumption the Secretary
is in agreement with the opinion of the
officer who issued the order.
Mr.. Daniels added that he had not the
slightest intention of attempting to
dictate what the men of the navy
should or should not sing except on
purely official occasions.
