His gestures were less rapid and vig orous than of old, and aahe neared the end of his speech he plainly was weary. Col. RoseveH coined a new phrase. It was what he called "government by convulsion." By this he said he meant the' passing baok and forth of power between the republican ; and - demo cratic parties. hlch,re, said would continue unless the people entrusted the power to the progressive part?. The former president's speech was regarded by progressive leaders here es an indication of the: line of attack the party will follow in this year's campaign.

It not only banishes the traditional : "wine mess" of the offi cers but bars all - alcoholic liquors froth every ship and shoe station of the army. - ... . Beginning today any officer found in possession of alcoholic liquor On board ship or at any naval station will be guilty of misconduct. , Com mandlng officers will be held directly responsible for the , direct . enforce ment of the "dry edict" Considerable speculation Is being Indulged in here today as to how of ficers would accept the new order of things. They were amazed at the time the order, was announced in April. Secretary Daniels has said that a rea sonable construction was to be placed on the order. This was taken to mean that if th liquor happened to be on vessel in foreign serlvce, including those in Mexican waters, a reasonable time would be given in which to un load it On all naval reseravtlons and and in ships im home waters, how ever, it was expected that the lid would be on today.
