No Drink Except Grape JUICE
ForMen of the Navy.

Washington, hpih a.
lutte prohibition will prevail IN the
United States navy after July l
next. Secretary Daniels tonight
made public a sweeping ORDER
which not only will abolish the
traditional "wine NESS of the
officers, but will bar all alcohollc
LIQUORS from every ship and shore
station of the navy. This order
constituting one of the most nota-
BILE victories ever won by prohl'
hilton forces, was issued on the
recommendation Of Surgeon
General BREASTED. 1t was orle1
and to the point;
"The use or introduction tor
drinking purposes Of alcoholic
LIQUORS on board any naval vessel
or within any navy yard or sta"
ton is strictly prohibited and
commanding officers will be held
directly responsible for the en-
forcement Of this ORDER.
In a statement tonight, Sec
rotary Daniels said:
81 am in hearty agreement with
the views expressed by the Sur
geon General. There should not
be on shipboard, with reference
to intoxicants, one rule for officers
and another and a different rule
for the enlisted personnel. The
saddest hour in official life Is
when an officer or enlisted man
must be punished for intoxication'
During the past week it has been
my painful duty to approve
courtmartial for dismissal from
the service of an officer for In
toxication. He told me that NJ
never had tasted intoxicants un'
til he did so in the wine mess OF
the cruise. Others who have
been disciplined for drinking t.
excess, have made similar state
ments to me.
"Officers now are commissions
at the early age of twenty-five
years. Has the government
right to permit this temptatio
which too often destroys the higl
est usefulness of young officers
think not. If there is one pro
fession more than any other tia
calls for a clear head and
steady hand, it is the naval pre-
fession. Experience has show
the wisdom OF having no intax
cants on our ships for the youn
men who enlist,
~ believe experience has d.
monstrated that a uniform ru
should prevail in the navy for
who enlist III the service, from Il
highest rank to the youngest el
listed man or officer who com
inGo the service, and that abol
ton of the wine mess will
justified"
Surely, the officers in all
spects should be models for t
enlisted duty, habits and depor
ment, and the example of office
drinking aboard ship is foster
by the wine mess, and the hume
Gus courtmartial of officers
drunkenness and the effects
alcohol are destructive of dis,
pine and moral, bad for tue G
listed men and detrimental to
reputation and good name of t
service. The navy is compal
BILE in many respects to gre
business organization, but
efficient corporation III civil
would tolerate such II condltl
of affairs"

recognition of the centennial OF the
writing of the song Star Spangled
Banner" by Francis Scott Key be TAX
en- by Keokuk Baltimore is planning
9 weeks celebration from September
is to 10. The mayor in his letter to
Mayor Moorhead recognizes the fact
that all will not be able to attend the
Baltimore centennial. So he suggests
that general display OF The national
;colors be made centennial week.
The Star Spangled Banner was writ
ten by Key while prisoner on a
| pritish ship. The song was written
during the bombardment of Baltimore,
and his eagerness to catch a glimpse
OF the flag flying over the fortresses,
and his relief at the repulse of the
British led him to pen this song
which has been made the national air
by the navy department, and is recog-
nized as such by all patriotic So
icieties.
The following is the letter from the
Baltimore mayor urging tina. the week
