Until the report of the umpires of the joint Army and Navy maneu- vers are received and carefully digested by the War and Navy Departments the authorities at both departments were inclined to withhold comment upon the results of the war games in the Pacific, in which the Island of Oahu was captured by the attacking forves. Naval authorities evinced no surprise in the result, and a member of the general staff expressed the opinion that *“the weakness in the defense of Hawali was known; but they were desirous of finding out wheth the Navy would locate it.” It is predicted that the report of mpires will show that the de | fending force was undergarrisoned. | nd that the commanders of these forces could not marshal a sufficlent number of troops with which to repel | the attack launched by the Navy. It is interesting to note in this connec- tion that in the annual reports of the Secretary of War, the chief of Coast Artillery, the commanding gen- eral of the Hawallan department and in the testimony of Brig. Gen. Briant H. Wells before the Senate commit- tee on appropriations, all pointed out the fact that the garrison in Hawall was undegnanned. | Under a recent Navy Departmént pronouncement 173 officers who are attending schools with courses of in struction of less than 10 months’ du- ration will not be entitled to trans- | portation allowance for their depend | ents or household effects.

In outlining the policy on this sub- ject the Bureau of Navigation circu- lar reads as foHows: “When an officer is ordered from one permanent station to another he is entitled to transportation for his dependents and shipment of his household effects. The funds appro- priated for these purposes are limited, and it Is necessary to economize in their expenditures. “Hereafter, until Yurther not 3 courses of instruction which are le: 10 months’ duration will be considered as temporary duty, and orders will be %0 framed that the officers concerned will proceed to the places designated for temporary duty under instruction. These orders will not entitle them to transportation for dependents or to transportation of household _effects beyond the amounts authorized in general order’ No. 36-1921. “On the' completion of an officer’s course of instruction he will be or- dered to proceed to the new permi nent station. He will then become en titled to transportatfon for his de- pendents; also to transportation of his household effects in accordance with general orders above men- tloned.” Approximately 150 officers attend ing the following schools will be al lowed transportation allowance for dependents and household effects. The schools are as follows: College, postgraduate schools, which include the following: Ordnance and Engi- neering, Naval Academy; Engineer- ing, Harvard University; Engineering, Columbia University, Naval Construc- tion, Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, Naval Academy and Univer- sity of Chicago, and law, George Washington University.

B What TomorrowMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE. During the early part of the day you will, in all probability, experience a feeling, not only of lethargy, but also of dlssatistaction, as the plane- tary aspects signify the prevalence of introspection and leck of harmony. Afternoon, however, conditions under- €0 a rapid change. ¥our outlook on life will be less pessimistic, and there will be sensed an urge to set right that which you felt in the morning was wrong, and you will do well to yleld to the incentlve that the al- tered atmosphere will furnish to start out and accomplish that which you have in your mind, provided it is based on prudential foresight, and founded on conservative deliberation. No illness of u serfous nature is likely to affect the healthy develop- ment along physical lines of the child born_ tomorrow. All it will need, in order to give it a fair chance, is an abundance of outdoor alr and well regulated nutrition. Its disposition promises to be somewhat callous, al though when it reaches maturity, and its emotions are stirred by the natural process of “falling in love,” this fea- ture will disappear and cease to an- noy. Its character will be rather too much concentrated, and, although the indications show that it will enjoy ma- terfal success, this same success will possibly be attained at the expense ot others. If May the 4th Is your birthday you have a very bright and cheerful dis position, but possess a limited sense and an entire lack are naturally kind and, although witty vision impulsive, You of humor. you never exercise happy faculty at the expense of others’ feelings. You take little thought of the future or what it may have in store for you. The present is what makes the strong- est appeal to you, and you endeavor to get as much pleasure as is pos sible from the “passing hours.” You have no settled ambiticns, and are very much disposed to allow things to take care of themselves. You thereby secure a remarkable freedom from worry. As a result of your ‘“happy-go- lucky” characteristics, and your in- herent kindliness of heart, your friends are legion, and your home life is ideally happy, unless, of course, you are mated with one who considers ma- terial success of greater value than unalloyed happiness.
