H|T.BY RUN ORDER
Supply Of Beer on the Teuton
Cruiser at Norfolk Gives
Out

WASHINGTON, Oct. s0.-Entsrtain-
ment of the navy's self invited que ,ts,
consisting Of the several hundred OF
.ficers and men on board the two in
termed German cruisers at Norfolk,
has raised an embarrassing problem
growing out OF Secretary Daniels's or
der abolishiRg intoxicating liquors
from all naval precincts. This was
the word brought here from Norfolk.
When the German cruisers went in>
to voluntary internment they took or
board large supplies OF beer. This
since has been exhausted and with
Mr.. Daniels's order prohibiting intnX-
icatlng liquors in any navy yard, lie
problem Of replenishing the supply
of liquid refreshment las been ucl
only delicate, but acute.
According to reports from Norfolk
the situation has been met by having
lighters deliver the beer 10 the Ger
man ships via water. Thus the navy
regulation is technically avoided.
1t was reported that sincs liberty
privileges had been denied tile men
of the interned cruisers, they are not
saluting United States naval officers
at the Norfolk yard. There is lu re.
|quirement, in law, naval officers say,
that the Germans salute American Of
fcers, but it is absolutely required by
naval etiquette.
IN view Of the fact that the Ger
man warships threw themselves on
the mercy Of the United States when
they were no longer able to keep the
seas, officers here feel that the least
the Germans can do is to observe all
the courtesles due officers Of the
American navy.
