the numer Gus embarrassments which selfish and de-

in admiration of the more than Roman firmness with

by desperate political gamblers, anxious to promote

The arrangement which now exists in
the War Department.. respecting the APP
pointment of cadets, SO as to apportion
them among the several states, is one ere
ated by the department for It's own 60
yernment, and is as follows:
In the month of February or March,
annually, the appointments are made from
among the applicants whose names are on
the register: care being taken to distribute
them as nearly as circumstances will per-
nit, 50 as 10 give one cadet to each con-
gressional district, excepting in the states
Of Delaware, Arkansas and Michigan,
which, in consequence Of the large unre-
presented fraction in the first, and the
growing population Of the others, are al
lowed two cadets each.
The number Of cadets in the academy,
at the same time, has exceeded $50. The
first instance in which this excess occur
red was in the year 1922. Since that
time the number in the academy has eK-
ceeded $50 during portion OF each year;
the number has also fallen short oil 2oo
during portion of each year, so that the
average number in the academy during a
whole year has not exceeded $50.
The laws regulating the number oil ca
diets in the Military Academy, are the acts
of 10Th March, 1892, and 29ih April,
1912. These laws have been so constru-
ed as to fix the greatest number OF cadets
admissible into the academy at $50, as
will more fully appear by reference TO the
opinion of the Attorney General, House
document 81, LIST session, 10Th Congress,
page 81.
