next at Annapolis. There are upward OF
loo Congressional vacancies. but this num-
Der does not represent by any means the
total number OF places now in the lowest
commissioned grade of the service.
Between $50 and 40 places in the grades
OF junior lieutenant and ensign are now
untitled, for which there are fifty members
Of the new final graduating class.
This means that for at least another year
the Navy will be short Of over 100 officers.
and as the Usual number of retlrements
and casualties may be expected, it is quite
impossible to maintain the full quota until
the output of Annapolis is largely increas-
ed. and this can be accomplished only
through additional appointments 20 the
school. by allowing one TO each Senator
and perhaps twenty at large by the Presi-
dent
No President makes an appointment 10
either West Point or Annapolis for which
not less than 400 boys are candidates Last
rear 800 applications were fled with the
Navy Department for two at-large vacan-
cics to Annapolis, and the same is usually
true Of the West Point appointments. The
President. however. is not alone in the
pressure used to secure these nominations
and few Representatives escape making q
