honor. They and the American naval
officers were in full. dress uniforms. The
costumes OF the ladies were handsome

very attractive display. The ballroom
was elaborately decorated. The full
Naval Academy band furnished music,
and fine supper was served. The
German officers and cadets had pleas

voted themselves especially toward max

with pleasure. They were introduced to
all the ladies. and many had quite a
number OF dances. All of the Germans
wore short blue coats. loose. instead of
the tight. fitting cadet jacket One Of the
most gorgeous uniforms was that OF Lieu

The Navy Department. in order 10

ought to graduate next June is soon to be
commissioned and sent 20 the Philippines

the patrol work around the Island OF

following Secretary Long finds no
other way to supply officers.

cadets are bitterly against the proposition
OF the Navy Department to Commission
the graduating class in March. instead
OF the usual graduation time. in June.
Abou, so officers are needed for both
shore and land duty. and Secretary Long
says this is about the only way to supply
these vacancies. This years class is
composed OF 90 cadets. and not one of
this number is in favor OF the plan. The
cadets say that they would rather finish
their course at the Naval Academy and
