GIVEN FIGHTING ORDERS.
The second Class Naval Cadets As
signed 10 Active Duty.


The second class of the Naval Acad-
emy cadets were all assigned yesterday
to duty on the ships OF Admiral Samp-
sons squadron The second class is
next to the senior class and is now fin
ishing its third year term
The assignment of the class to this ser
vice Is in lieu of the regular summer
cruise taken by the second class. The
boys consider themselves especially for
tunate in the assignment and in the fact
that their third year ends in time of war,
which gets them into active service con-
siderably sooner than would be possible
otherwise.
The cadets will be given regular as
signments as midshipmen and watch Off
GERS and will virtually act as ensigns.
Their three years training makes them
better officers than any landsmen appoint
ments.
There is some talk of the possibility
that the academy will not be opened next
F'all on account of scarcity of officers
and cadets, but it is probable that this
extreme measure will not be taken.
Orders have been given also detaching
the third and fourth classes from the
academy and giving them leave from to-
day until October l. This change from
the regular order is also made necessary
by the lack of officers available for duty
ut the academy.
The second class is divided up among
the following ships: Marblehead, Texas.
New York, Cincinnati, Iowa, Brooklyn,
Detroit Massachusetts, Oregon, Indiana
and Montgomery.
