miral Rodman, whom Mr.. Depew intro
duced as "Slr Hugh Rodman' The
American commander described his ex-
periences with the Grand Fleet under
Beatty. He said that the American
ships had constituted an integral part
of the Grand Fleet. and that sometimes
he was in command OF British admirals
and that other times he was COM
nanded by them.
Lord Beatty absolutely brought about
the elimination of the German feet"
said Admiral Rodman in the course Of
his complimentary references to the
guest. Then he painted the picture of
the abject surrender of the German fleet
az II passed through the lane OF VIC
torious allied ships. saying
"I can conceive of no more ignomin-
ious a sight"
His experiences with the Grand Fleet
had convinced him that It was possible
for Americans and British to work sym
pathetically together. he said, continu-
ing:
There can be no question in My mind
that the two nations will always fight
together and make peace together
The dinner closed with an announce
ment by Mr.. Depew that the railroad

DOCTORS CAUTIOUS
ABOUT USE OF BEER
Most Content to Say They Will

COUNTY SOCIETY CHEERS
Duty of Druggists Is to Fill

About Their Merits.

Most New, York physicians are eau.
tious about indicating whether they viii
prescribe beer for their patients wher
the permits to be issued under the Gov
ernment's new ruling are available. The
typical answer given to this newspaper
yesterday was the non -commital: u

there is little opposition here Of the sort

Congress of Surgeons in Philadelphia

hibitlon was not enocgh.

beer in the hearings in Washington,

physician should have no right to pre-
scribe that beverage Is of course de-
lighted with the regulation and expects
to prescribe 1t in his practice.

Monday night when told them | had

yesterday. Ale, beer and porter are
valuable medicinal preparations and are
so recognized In all countries. 1t is
true that the house of delegates of the
American Medical Association an
nounced in 1917 that alcohol had no
value as food or medicine. but that
came from lot Of political hacks and
warehouses;.
Druggists' Duty to Dispense.
Now we are told that druggists are
beginning to say they will not dispense
beer. Any honest druggist should dis
pense it on a physicians prescription.
IT is his duty. 1t will not make the
druggist booze dispenser any more
