DISCIPLINE IN me AMERICAN
NtKY,

The court martial sentence dismiss.
ing Midshipman ArrOwood of North
Carolina from the service has been ap.
proved by the President. The dis.
missal is for desertion. About Il year
after graduation, while Oh duty on the
Kearsarge. the midshipman rendered
his resignation. which was not accept.
ed. When a boy enters the naval acad.
envy he binds himself to serve In the
navy for eight years unless sooner dis.
charged by competent authority. The
Navy Department decided to hold
Arrowood to his agreement. 4 young
man who has been educated ana sup.
ported by the government ought to do
something to cancel the debt. especial.
~ at Il time when there IL n lack of
officers. Young ArrOwood would not.
As his resignation was not accepted
lie took French leave. one excuse for
descrtlon was that every regulation
made for his protection had been
broken. II SO there were other means
of redress at hand than those he
adopted. The other excuse was the
alleged Immoral atmosphere" OF the
navy. As soon as ArrowOod was on
shore he got Il place as clerk In a Wall
street brokers' office, thus taking
refuge In what many consider an eX.
tremely Immoral atmosphere" Dis.
missal from service that he wishes
to get out of may not seem severe to
ArrOwoOd. He may be delighted to be
''set free from daily contact with the
things loathed." The sentence IL not
a mild one. The law reads that "every
person who deserts from the naval SER
vice of the United States Is deemed to
have relinquished AMI forfeited his
rights Of citizenship. Such
deserters shall be forever incapable Of
holding any office of trust or profit
under the United States or Of eXercis-
Ing any rights Of citizen thereof" The
common seaman who has been brand.
cd as Il deserter may not care much. His
Obscurity protects him. 1t Is otherwise
with the officer who Is deserter. The
mark which has been put on him can.
not be effaced. The day may come
when he will claim the protection Of
his cOuntry's flag. but he will b.
known and it will be denied him. Mr..
ArrowOOd will be fortunate man II
he is able to 60 through life without
regretting that he has made himself a
man without a country.

CHECK PUT ON DEFICIENCIES.
Congress Provides Against Expendi-
lures in Excess of Appropriations.


lures in Excess of Appropriations.
Washington, March 2O.-One of the
wisest acts of the late congress was the
insertion of provision in the general
deficiency bill that became law on
March 8, that hereafter deficiencies
shall not be created except upon some
great emergency. Officers of the gov
ernment have been altogether too free
in making contrats and purchases with
out regard to the appropriations on
hand, trusting that the deficiencies
would be supplied.
When deficiency bill amounts to
the enormous figure of $31 100000, it
gives the members of congress some
cause for alarm, and it seems some
method was necessary to compel officers
not to make these enormous expendi-
lures for which no provision of congress
had been made. The creating of def
ciencies was in way unlawful, and if
congress desired, it could repudiate
these expenditures. But very seldom
has any just expenditure been refused
in deficiency bill, although sometimes
criticised.

SLAUGHTER BY BulGARIANS.
Greek Village Attacked and All Male
Inhabitants Slain.


Inhabitants Slain. -.
Oonstantinople, March 21.-Advices
received from Salonica state, that the
Bulgarian bands are again causing
trouble, and that reports of outrages
are coming in rapidly. The result of
this is that the relations between
Greece and Bulgaria are again stretched
near to the breaking point, the former
government alleges that the Bulgarian
government is not making any effort
to keep these bands under control but
permits them to ravage at will on con-
dltion that they confine their assaults
to Greeks and Turks.
At monastery near Vodena band
of armed Bulgarians attacked party
of Greek priests and the latter must
have been killed had not party of
Greeks come to their resue and at
tackled the Bulgarians. The latter were
beaten back, leaving Is dead behind.
Angered at their losses the Bulgar-
ians attacked the villages of Mossi-
merton and ruthlessly massacred all of
| the male inhabitants and carried off
the women and children. They then
terrorized the entire district of Vodena
and so far have managed to escape the
troops that were sent to punish them.

EXPLODING BOILERS
Kill at Least Sixty Persons at
! BfOCkton, Massachusetts.
THEIR BODIES Are CREMATED
Shoe Factory Swarming With People
Ripped Asunder by Bursting
Boiler and Burned.

Brockton, Mass, March 21.-At leas
so persons were killed early today by
the explosion of a boiler in large
shoe manufacturing establishment in
the Campbell district conducted by the
R. B. Grover company. The explosion
was Immediately followed by a flash of
fame which consumed the factory,
long, four-story structure, as if it were.
a house of cards, and incinerated an
unknown number of men and women
who were unable to extricate them
selves from the mass of tangled wreck
age formed by the terrific upheaval in
the boiler room. More than so of the
employees in the building were maimed,. ;.
burned or bruised by the time they
reached safe ground.
The fire extended from the factory to
seven other buildings in the vicinity
and destroyed them. One Of these
buildings was a three-story wooden
block the others being. cottages of
small value and blacksmith shop.
The wooden dwellings near the engine
room were practically demolished by
the flying boiler, but none of their oc-
cupants were seriously injured. The
total financial loss is estimated at
$3.50, 900, 5000, 900 of: which falls on
| the r. B. Grover company.
1t may never be known just how
many persons perished in the wreckage.
No one knows exactly how many per-
sons were in the factory. The number
has been estimated at 400, but Treas
urer Charles o. Nelson said tonight he
doubted whether there were SO many at
work. Two hundred and fifty survivors
have been accounted for, and at mid
night the remains of so bodies had
been recovered from the ruins, the
search being continued all night.
