Washington. March 22.-Men on the decks of the navys fighting craft throughout the world received rude jolt today when orders were received from the department abolishing the mid night lunch that has been served to the deck watches on all ships since the be- ginning of the war.

When the war came and the sub marine menace forced the deck divisions to stand long watches day and nighl, the midnight lunch was authorized for all hands. Recent legislation based on the theory that the war is over, as far as submarine watches are concerned, forced the abolishment of the welcome java and goldfish" as far as the deck forces are concerned.
