Mrs. Daniels Tells Why
Secretary Made Navy Dry

Philadelphia, Jan. 2.-A1rs. Jo-
sephus Daniels, wife of the Secretary
of the Navy, yesterday disclosed why
the Secretary's order before the war
eliminating intoxicating liquors from
officers mess in the Navy was issued.
The order. she said, was brought
about by the case of young officer
whose court-martial for being in
toxicated Mr.. Daniels had approved.
"A young officer had been court
martialed by the proper authorities
for being intoxicated" said Mrs.
Daniels, and Mr.. Daniels had ap-
proved the finding when an uncle of
the boy, a member of the Society of
Friends, came into his office and up
braided him for having approved the
sentence. He said the boy didn't know
what the taste of liquor was until he
went into the Navy. My husband then
issued his order. feeling that it was
right for him to do so even if ii only
meant the welfare of one young Of
iicer."
Mrs. Daniels said her husband had
always been a total abstainer, never
having used liquors in any form.
Mrs. Daniels, accompanied by Miss
Ethel Bagley, her sister, and also a
sister of the commander of the ia
cob Jones, whose life was recently
saved when that vessel was torpe-
doed. We're in Philadelphia to as
sist Mrs. Z. T. Stotesbury last night
at a supper and reception which she
gave to the Navy men stationed in
Philadelphia.
