Not Published In England. This is but one of the naval topics on which the press is virtually silent except to reproduce the comment of Foreign papers, American newspa- per readers are daily presented with more or less well supported discus- sions of matters relating to the Brit- ish navy of which not a line appears in print here. Recently some of the London papers republished from an American paper an article about a new aircraft constructed to fight Zep- pelins. It was passed by the press bureau with the observation that it could in no degree vouch for the accuracy of any of the statements therein. ‘When the American papers were printing references to the net across the English Channel describing it even to the name of the makers, there was not a word about it in the Brit- ish papers. Startling Experience. Indeed it would be an almost start- ling experience if a London publisher should be permitted to print any of the many articles about the British navy that are appearing so frequently in the American journals, REPORT NOT SATISFACTORY. New London, Oct. 15.—The report of Capt. George B. Enos of the steam- er Tennessee which collided with the schooner Samuel 8. Thorp off Fishers Island Saturday night has been sub- mitted to' the 1local inspectors’ of steam vessels by the New York board where the captain made his report. The report did not contain enough details of the accident to make a final decision possible and Captain Enos was ordered to render a supple- mentary report that shall contain the exact details of the movements of the steamer imiaediately previous to the accident and the names of the officers and crew on watch at the time ! of the collision.

President Edward A. Schmidt in his address declared that the Brewers, well as outside reformers were striv- ing to correct the evils of the saloon, and intimated that some radical forms might be expected Constructive Policy Lacking. He said, in part: “For many years the educational work of our association was ham- pered by the lack of a constructive policy, which, however, was impossi- ble until practically all our own peo- ple had reached the point of convic- tion in regard to the necessity of sa- loon reform and of rigid law obser- vance. “We have at last come to fairly general agreement as to what con- stitutes a good licensing system, and have established in our own minds, certain definite principles which should govern the conduct of the re- tail trade. Of course, the local ap- plication of these principles involves many perplexing and complex prob- lems, which will take time to work out, and will undoubtedly involve some serious sacrifices, Want Reputable Saloonkeepers, “In this connection I want to speak your active interst and cc eration in the work of the coope committee of the licensed trade gaged in the mgnufacture and sale of Alcoholic liquors, which is endeavor- ing to build up the local retail organ- izations, so that every reputable man in the saloon trade may be enrolled as a member of his local organization. One of the main objects of this move- ment is to bring the reputable men in the retail busin together, so that their opinions may be made potent in correcting & of the abuses that have crept into the business. “The cooperative committee, repre- senting the national organizations of the brewers, the wholesalers and the retailers, have agreed that licenses should be issued in response to a normal demand for them, and that the artificial stimulation of business by any branch of the trade is unde- sirable. The committee also advo- cates the absolute suppression of any re- be- op- ive en- Y. connection of any licensed premises with any disorderly house or gambling establisment, and urges the t to refuse to sell to ‘speak- or other illicit vendors. Public Family Resorts, “Perhaps the most impor -reaching suggestion cooperative committee, asies,’ and the the ant made by 18, that trade should encourage the establish- | ment of public family resorts in which all kinds of refreshments shall be dispensed, and in which the sale ot alcoholic beverages shall be no more emphasized than any other bev- erages, conforming to the type of con- tinental beer hall and restaurant, fa- miliar to the American traveler. In the French restaurant or the German beer garten, one sees whole families sitting together at a table, sipping their beer, their diluted wine or their coffee, enjoying good music, eating their simple fare and talking togetaer in peace and harmony. “In England a body have orgaized what is Public House Trust, of noted men known as the which is dealing problems, upon common sense & ness lines. Their ndpoint is the licensed house practical essity, and that it pught' always tg a place to which all cldisés, and the people can resort without proach.
