One of the last acts of ‘muu and other courses not strict- \ mended by their commanding officer, and an officer zealous of maintaining the best traditions of the naval ser- vice, will give preference to the ablest men under him. This places the high- est honors of the naval service within the grasp of any young man who has “the fitness to win.” Life at Annapolis. The course at the Naval Academy at Annapolis is four years, although the president has been given authori- ty, in the present crisis, to graduate ., the senior class at once, and the sec- ond class, after three years training. The curriculum may be considered in two phases: the first, comprising the first two years, dealing mainly with lan- ly naval, The last two years are de- voted largely to the technical branches profession—-navigation, seamanship, machine de- electricity, of the naval engineering, s sign, applied mechanics, ordnance and gunnery. Eight months of the year is spent at Annapolis; three months, June, July and’ August, is spent in cruising battleships, and the month of Septem- ‘ber i€ spent on leave. Midshipmen are pdid $50 per month, from which their expenses—food, etc. they pay 2all: laundry, uniforms, text books, besides heipg required to save $22 per | month for officers, uniforms and equip- | ment upon their graduation. Each graduate is immediately commissioned an ensign, (corresponding to second lieutenant in the army) his pay being $155 per month. The regiment of midshipmen now | musters about 1,200 strong, each con- | ap- The gressman being allowed three pointments from his district. president of the United States ap- points ten midshipmen each vear, at large. These presidential appoint- ments are reserved, by custom, for the sons of officers of the army and navy, who are usually precluded from per- manent\residence in any place, by the nature of their duties. The appoint- ment of 100 enlisted -men from the navy, each year, completes the sources from, which the naval service draws its men. Rear Admiral C. E. Vreeland, who commanded the Kan- sas on the round-the world cruise, and later the second division of the At- lantic fleet, entered the navy as an apprentice. This is also true of Ad- miral W. H. H. Southernland, who commanded the Pacific fleet, and was in charge of the naval forces oper- ating in Nicaragua in 1913. “President’s Personal Guard. The regiment of midshipmen, to- gether with the corps of cadets at ‘West Point, are always the personal guard of the president at his inaugu. ration. The academy course being for four years, every midshipman par- ticipates in one inauguration, and generally, in later life as a commis- sioned officer, in many more. Midshipmen make three cruises dur- ing their naval academy career, each cruise being held during the three summer months. The itinerary of these cruises is laid out (in time of peace) to include the most interest- ing places—Germany, Norway, Eng- land, Gibraltar, etc. In 1915, it was considered inadvisable to send the training squadron in European waters on account of the war, and they were therefore sent to San Francisco, through the Panama Canal to view the Panama-Pacific Exposition. The standards of living, of disci- pline, 6f manhood, and of scholastic ability, are maintained ‘at a high level. The pressing need of officers has not lowered these standards, as was recently shown when the usual ‘percentage of the midshipmen were “bilged” (forced to resign) for de- ficlency in studies. The young man who has an aptitude for the sea, who wishes to enter the naval service under the best condi- tions, who has the ambition to reach the top, and is willing to do his ut- most to realize such an ambition— such a type makes the successful naval officer. Such a man has within ‘his grasp the chance to become the commander-in-chief of one of the world’s greatest fleets. i America’s future is linked with sea power. Our merchant marine ‘must become a reality, not & vague hope; must be powerful enough seas open, and our coasts safe, at all times.. The men at An- napolis today will be the moving figures, in a few years, in carrying out our natlonal aspirations on the seas. TEARING IS POSTPONED.

On this the message says: “Russia did not will the war which has been drenching the world with blood for nearly three years. But, victim of premeditated aggression pre- pared long ago, she will continue, as in the past, to struggle against the spirit of conquest of a predatory race which has aimed at establishing an intolerable hegemony over its neigh- bors and subjecting FEurope of the twentieth century to the shame of do- mination by Prussian militarism. Faithful to the pact which unites her indissolubly to her glorious allies, Russia 18 resolved, like them, to as- sure the world at all costs of an era , of peace among the nations, on the hasis of stable national organization guaranteeing respect for right and Justice. She will fight by their side against the common enemy until the point 6 TO 9 O’CLOCK——MONDAY EVENING———6 TO 9 O’CLOCK | STEAKS i 1b20¢ Best Pure ‘# LARD Fresh Native EGGS ...... ; doz.350 1b.22¢ 1b.l'6¢ Boneless Rump ROASTS .....
