There are about 275 midship- men who will graduate for whom there are no vacancles in the line of the Navy, the Supply Corps or the Marine Corps and unless some action is taken by the Senate on the bill passed by the House more than a month ago they will be discharged from the naval service with one year's pay as midshipmen. There is another situation confront- ing the midshipmen who will complete four-year course at the dicate to the world that they have com- pleted a four-year course of college work.
