He refused to be cajoled or coerced,
and left the presence of Mr.. Bryan
mere firm than ever in his determine
ton not to support the President.
Secretary Bryan also discovered that
there was determined sentiment,
even among supporters of the admin
istration, that the Senate should be
supplied with information. He re-
turned to his department impressed,
it is believed, with the revolt that
threatens the President.
Friends of the President are becom-
ing alarmed lest the undue zeal or
Senator Owen, who has been chosen
by the President to manage his repea
fight in committee and on the floor,
lead him into serious strategic errors.
Already he has been condemned for
his declaration that the measure must
be reported out of committee within
ten days or stand the test of a motion
to discharge the committee.
Such a motion would tend to indefi-
mite delay. The mere fact that it has
been suggested has solidiied the OPP
position and irritated the friends of
repeal. The real friends of the Presi-
dent understand how delicate the stu
alton in the Senate is and how htces-
sary it is to avoid even the semblance
of friction.

Washington, April 6.-Absolute pro-
hibition will prevail in the United
States navy after July l, next. Secre-
tary Daniels Sunday night made pub
lie a sweeping order which not only
will abolish the traditional wine
mess of the officers, but will bar all
alcoholic liquors from every ship and
shore station of the navy.
This order, constituting one of the
most notable victories ever won by the
prohibition forces, was issued upon
the recommendation of Surgeon Gen
eral Braisted. 1t read:
THE use or introduction for drink
ing purposes of alcoholic liquors on
board any naval vessel or within any
navy yard or station is strictly pro-
hibited and commanding officers will
be held directly responsible for the
enforcement of this order"
In statement issued tonight. Sec
rotary Daniels said: Il am in hearty
agreement with the views expressed
by the surgeon general in his paper
accompanying the recommendation.
There should not be on shipboard with
reference to intoxicants, one rule for
officers and another and a different
rule for the enlisted personnel
IF there is one profession more
than any other that calls for clear
head and steady hand, it is the ma
val profession"
The new order will replace that sec
ton of the naval instructions which
permits the formation of wine messes.

A PERSONAL PROTEST

Mir. Editor:
 l was largely responsible for the protest made by the Woman's Relief Corps against the decoration of the graves in the potters field on Me morial day l now understand that, at least one member of the corps has said that that protest was. per- maps, too strong. l personally say it was not strong enough. I cannot see Tow any intelligent person could mis- understand the purpose of the decor alton of the graves of the unknown dead If there had been any graves Tn the potter's field of known dead who had seen service either in the civil or the Spanish -Ameriean wars. flags would have been placed on their graves to mark them. If there were any unknown dead in that plot who were entitled to recognition, they were remembered by the Woman's Relief Corps in their service by q memorial to the unknown dead" This memorial was given at the time, which your paper states, these ear nest WOmen'' were making bououets on the same plaza for the decoration | of graves of unknown persons who may have been the lowest crooks or ] mute inglOrious Miltons gone to rest But this day, the day set apart as a memorial to our heroic dead was not intended to commem- crate the undone deeds of unknown dead, and l again protest against it ever again being used for that pur- pose. If the cause of humanity re- ! quires the decoration of these graves l would suggest that the Associated Charities set apart day to com memorate the deeds. of those who have fallen by the wayside And please do not think that I do not feel the deepest sympathy with these and the many back east who may | mourn for them But I have but one thought for Memorial day and that is that it is sacred to the memory of our fallen patriots, be they north or south, and the decoration of un- known graves makes farce of any patriotic tribute
 Unfortunately I am temporarily a "shut-in" and cannot meet and talk
  1 this matter over with the general public and so cannot know how it is i looked upon, but I feel that if the Associated Charities propose to make 1 this yearly festival on Memorial l day, the Grand Army of the Repub- lie, the Woman's Relief Corps, the Spanish American Veterans and the militia need not try any longer to i obtain d general observance" of the 1 day.
 | Has Valor lost caste, and it's due | recognition?
 Has Loyalty fled?
 Must the scattered survivors now
 sue for permission
 To laurel their dead, | And beg for an hour to these ser , vices given,
 As we move down the track 1 To reach, one by one, in the shadows 1 of even.
