One officer today said he does not see

foreign ships. To SO fail, he said. would

THE same sort of thing was said when

mats dying Off in consequence. do they?"
Fears It Will Promote Smuggling.
One critic OF Secretary Daniels order
today said that it may have tendency
to fncite men who are accustomed to
drinking to smuggling wines or liquors
aboard ships or into naval stations, on
the ground that their personal liberties
are being interfered with. In this re-
spect, he said, the order is likely to put a
premium on slyness among some men.
This view is combated by another
officer. who believes that the order on

Secretary Daniels Of the Navy Depart-

In mind the question of efficiency when
he issued the order, made public yes-
terday, prohibiting the use or introduce
tion for drinking purposes of alcoholic
liquors on board naval vessels or within
shore stations
Reports so far published have not in
detail gone into Secretary Daniels be-
lief that efficiency in the naval service
will be promoted by the abolishment Of
the wine mess. He said today that he
feels sure such efficiency will be greatly
advanced by the no-liquor order.
IF l had not felt So" he declared,
Il should never have issued the order
The fact is that the modern battle

opp ortunity of being in the slightest de-
gree influenced by alcohol
THE old days of the sailorman have
gone by. The modern navy is a navy of
machinery, and alcohol and machinery
do not go together
Variance in Opinion.
Wide differences of opinion were ex-
pressed in Washington today at the
Navy Department and at the Army and
Navy Club as to the probable effect OF
the order issued by Secretary Daniels.
One group of officers is of the belief
that it is a mistake. another group
thinks the order highly suitable one.
1t Is the subject of constant gossip and
talk, not only in the Navy Department,
but in the War Department as we'll,
although none of the officials at the
War Department would express an
opinion on the subject
1t is said at the War Department
there is little likelihood Of any such
order being issued there. When tho
subject was. mentioned to Secretary
Garrison he said:

officers are greatly interested in the

| inasmuch as it is the custom of wives,
! sisters mothers and other relatives of
officers on duty at shore stations to give
luncheon and dinner parties at which it
mas been the custom to serve claret,
sauterne, champagne and other Wines
Under Secretary Daniels new order this
will not be possible in future.
One officer stated today that he did
not see how he could require his wife
to cease serving wines &csher guests A
