LIQUOR BANISHED
IN Navy SERVICE
Secretary Daniels Forbids Use
of Intoxicants by Officers
of Vessels.
"SPIKED" PUNCH is BARRED
Even Society Functions Given by Wom-
en- at Land Stations Are
Under Ban.

Washington, D. c., April 6.-Prohibi-
naval service, under an order issued
last night by Secretary Daniels, which
will go into effect on July 1 next. Mr..
Daniels is strict temperance advo-
cate, but his decision to enforce his
own views on the officers of the navy
came as a complete surprise.
Here is his order: The use or in
PRODUCTION for drinking purposes of
alcoholic liquors on board any naval
vessel, or within any yard or station, is
strictly prohibited and commanding
officers will be held directly respon-
sible for the enforcement of this
order"
The anti-drinking order was issued
upon the recommendation of Surgeon
General William c. Braisted of the
navy. In signing the order, Secretary
Daniels said:
81 am in hearty agreement with the
views expressed by the surgeon gem
eral in his paper accompanying the
recommendation. There should not be
on shipboard with reference to intoXi-
cants one rule for officers and another
and different rule for the enlisted per-
sonnel. The saddest hour of my Off
ciaI life is when an officer or enlisted
man must be punished for intoxica-
ton.
Court Martial Is Cited.
During the last week it has been
my painful duty to approve court
martial for dismissal from the service
of an officer for intoXication. He told
me that he had never tasted intoXi-
eating drink until he did so in the
wine mess on his cruises. Others, who
have been disciplined for drinking to
excess, have made similar statements
to me.
"Omcers are now commissioned at
the early age of % years. Has the
government a right to permit this
which too often destroys the
highest usefulness of young officers?
| think not If there is one profession
more than any other that calls for
clear head and a steady hand il is the
naval profession. Experience has
shown the wisdom of having no intoxi-
cants on our ships for the young men
who enlist
II believe experience has demon
strated that a uniform rule should
prevail in the navy for all who enlist
in the service, from the highest rank TO
the youngest enlisted man or officer
who comes into the :ervice. and that
the abolition of the wine mess will be
justified"
Daniels Makes Inquiry.
For some time Secretary Daniels has
been investigating the extent of drink
ing on shipboard. This was brought
TO his attention by temperance advo-
Gates who have succeeded in abolish
ing the canteen in the army and who
have been urging Secretary Daniels to
prohibit the use of intoxicants on
board the naval vessels. Another con-
sideration which prompted him to is
sue the order was the frequency of
cases involving drunken
ness which came to his desk for ap-
