WASHINGTON. April &-Omcers
Of the navy wondered today whether
the service will really 20 dry after
July l. That Is the date fixed by Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels, In an or
der made public Sunday, when the
wine mess on all warships must be
abolished.
A strict construction of the Daniels
order means that not alone Is the
mess abolished, but that any onicer,
outside OF the surgeon and his assist
ant, who introduces even for medici-
nal purposes q bottle OF any intoxi-
cant aboard .warship wifi be court
martialed and dismissed from the
service. 1; that Ii the construction
Secretary Daniels places on his or.
der, and 1t is expected to be, court
martials are likely to be frequent.
The order Is admittedly unpopular.
Onicers assert that Il was issued UNI
der Misrepresentation. They point
been sold In the mess, that only beer
with minute percentage of alcohol
and the highest Of wines have been
disposed of. The representative re-
sponsible for the order Is Richmond
Hobson, who has recently been de-
manding that the army and navy be
officially made dry.
1t was pointed out here today that
the order of the secretary Of the navy
Is far more stringent than that In ef-
feet in the army. No secretary OF
war has ever ordered the army OH.
GERS clubs to refrain from serving
intoxicants. But the naval order COW
ers even the introduction OF intoxi-
cants into any navy yard or ship. It
Ia accepted that the order will stand
for all time. No subsequent admin
istration. It Is believed, would dare
to revoke 1t in the face of the GER
tain storm of protest that would rise
from temperance organizations
throughout the United States.
Because of the naval regulations
mo officer can even protest In public
against the order. To do so would
mean court martial, as 1t would be q
criticism OF his superior ofncer. one
of the heinous crimes laid down In
tie regulations Of the service. So
lit is certain that only those ofiicers
who favor the order will be heard
from by the navy department.

the committee on national legisla-
ton. consisting Of Frank d. Eaman,

prepared resolution indorsing the
plan for deepening the waterways Of
the great lakes to make route for

Welland canal, Lake Ontario and the
St Lawrence river, In preference to
the Georgian bay route, which pro-
poses using French river. Lake Nipis-
sing, and the Ottawa river to the st.

while the. Georgian bay route would
be OF considerable advantage to the
northwest. the deepening Of the pres

ST. JOHNS, N. F., April al
though the steamship Kyle searched
throughout Saturday and Sunday for
some trace OF the missing steamer
Southern Cross, no sign OF her had
been found today, and II il now be-
lieved certain the vessel foundered
with her crew OF ITO men. The belief
Is growing here that the Southern
Cross may have rounded Cape Race
before the storm OF last week reached
its height and was dashed upon the
rocks In that vicinity. A search OF
that part OF the coast has been or.
dered.

ed here today from some OF the 81
survivors Some Of the men. raving
mad. gnawed their frozen hands and
chewed their clothing In their raging
hunger. Driven insane by the intense
pain Of the piercing frost one man cut
on his frozen fingers with his sheath
knife and expired as the blood ran
from his mutilated hand.
Seven men who had been given up
for dead were found alive some hours
after the first of the party had been
rescued. On Wednesday night they
came upon young seal and. killing It.
ate the raw flesh and drank the blood.
This alone saved their lives.
Seventy-five per cent of the survi-
vors brought here were blind when
rescued, and many who persisted might
have withstood the ordeal. 1t Is de-
clarod. had they not stumbled into
open water and drowned after becom-
ing blind on the ice foes.
Thousands thronged st. Johns yes

homes. Fifty-two bodies were taken
through the streets In hearses to the
railroad stations and sent to previous
points for interment.
