to Appear.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
ANNAPOLIS, Md. May 25.-There seems
to be a great deal of misunderstanding by
candidates for the Naval Academy as re-
CARDS reporting here in June for physical
examinations. The list of candidates hav-
ing either principal alternate appoint
ment who passed the mental tests in April
and May has already been published. In
some districts both principal and alternate
were successful, and in others only the al
ternate passed In the former case the
principal comes up first. and If he is physi-
cally disqualified then his alternate has a
chance, and in the latter case of course,
the alternate is notified to appear. Motif
cations are now being sent out by Superin-
tendent Brownson to the candidates to ap-
pear for the physical examination.
