There seems to be some confusion
on the part OF certain good people con-
cerning the attitude OF the w. c. T.. u.
with regard to the christening of ships
with champagne. The Outlook said
editorially; "The opposition OF ex-
treme temperance advocates has al

contends that inasmuch as "A bottle
smashed on the bow of a battleship Is
one bottle that can never be drunk.
such an event ought to be regarded as
another blow to the consumption OF
liquor"
Miss Anna A. Gordon. president OF
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union being asked to give the
white-ribboners' viewpoint. said; "Our
friends, the 'noneXtremists.' are taking
