Whether the navy department in changing the head of the Naval Aca- demy at Annapolis was actuated by the desire to improve conditions or simply to make a shift which would give that impression remains to be seen. Rear Admiral Fullam, who has been the superintendent of the insti- the recent trouble there, has been transferred to command the Pacific reserve fleet at Puget sound. It might be inferred that this change came as the resuit of the investigation that was made of the circumstances and the disapproval of the situation that was disclosed and yvet when it is con-. sidered how great a part politics has piayed in the management at Annapo- 1is and how generally were Supt. Ful- lam’'s recommendations disregarded when he sought, for the maintenance of the discipline of the institution, to have all the guilty ones punished, it is not easy to discover whether it means a continuance of past conduct under a new head or a clean sweep. If politics were' responsible for the conditions which created such a and handicapped the head of the fn- stitution in maintaining disclpline, It is a mistake that he should bear. the blame. That the investigation showed political interference it would appear to be ttme to end that sort of influence and lend the proper support to the maintenanice of that standard of dis cipline which 1s expected from that training school. It would have been Many are the reports which pre- tend to describe the tussle which took place in Germany in reaching the de- cision on the abandonment of the much-protested submarine policy. It is impossible to tell which is correct and the true version may not be knewn for some time, If ever, yet it appears significant that it should be announced just at this time that Grand Admiral Von Tirpitz is ill and is to take a holiday which iy extend into several weeks. As far as known, the health of the admiral up to mow has been excellent. He has been In direct charge of the submarine operations and it was he who declared that the e effectively as the British fleet had shut off the commerce of Germany. . The responsibility for the submarine policy of Germany Hhas been.direetly attrib- uted to him and there can be little question but what he strongly insisted upon its continuance, Ordinarily his iliness would be a matter to keep quiet inasmuch as his absence would be a good thing to keep away from the enemy, but the pub- licity which has been given to it, and just at this time gives plausible sup- port to the belief that Re may have been responsible for the sinking of n the carrying out of its submarin policy Germany has, however, permit. ted the crews of freighters to get awa: _before torpedoing the vessels.

The last reports called 'for increased appropriations for the army and the navy.

Among its tributaries. the Mezha. Usvyat, Kaspiys, Tlla, Disna and Boider-aa are also navigable.

There is little vaiue in the 220-mile stretch of coun- try between Brest Litovsk and Minek, in the northeast, but beyond the lat- ter city the industrial and agricultural development of the country becomes rapidly more significant. “Large manufactures of lather, ag- ricuitural machinery and tobacco are produced in Minsk. and these indus tries are of quite recent growth. The commerce of the city is of considerable importance, and is mostly in grains, potatoes, leather and in products from the vast surrounding forests. Without the wonderful waterway advantages enjoyed by most Russian cities, Minsk owes its increase in prosperity and significance entirely to the railroads. Before its connection east and west and north and south by rail lines, the town was of no standing and was very on the opposing shores. The waters between Lemnos and the island of Tenedos could be commanded by coast batteries and the warships maintained at the Lemnos base.

Greek military and civil authority has become a mere term in the islands. What amounts to a virtual blockade of the Bulgarian port of Dedeagatsch by the British fleet, has also drawn attention to the occupancy by the British of the isiande. Dedea- gatsch is only 45 miles from Imbros island. a fact which has caused the Bulgarian press to view conditions in the northeast reaches of the Aegean sea with considerable anxiety and re- sentment.

It is 460 miles southwest of Moscow by rail. The city is situated on the Svislotch, a tribu- tary of the Berezina, and upon the junction of the Warsaw-Moscow and the Libau-Kharkov railways. The region around is hilly and well-wooded. The town is old, haphazardly built, and houses a population of 95,000.
