Gone forever In the navy are the
days Of:
sixteen men on dead mans chest.
70, no, and bottle Of rum!"
Secretary Daniels of the navy has

liquor In the army will be revived.
Army officers will not discuss the mat
ter in advance of possible action by
Secretary of War Garrison.
The navy order was issued the 9th.

QUEEN LOSES THREAD OF CONVERSATION

Queen Mary of England is poor
conversationalist, according to her
most recent critics.
On someone being brought up to
her 1t is said she will begin to talk
with remarkable felicity, setting the
other at ease and delighting him.
Then, all of sudden, she ceases, an
acute silence supervenes. and the
other does not know whether to break
the pause or slip away. The fact Is
the queen talks well by dint of con-
centration: this does not always last
until the end of the conversation and
once the thread Is broken she grows
distracted, thinking Of something else.
II is suggested that her majesty has
adopted the idea, not new to many
politicians, of posting herself on a
subject that she knows she will be
called upon to discuss. Miss Muriel
Wilson. one of the most popular girls
in society, carried this idea out to
perfection. and thereby won the repu-
tation Of being one Of the most inter.
