Washington. Feb. 2S.-The facility with which
lusty West Point cadets threw the why little

vides only for instructors in broadsword and
fencing exercises.
General Mills, superintendent of West Point
appeared recently before the Senate Committee
on Military Affairs and related, with considera-
Bile detail. how the little Japanese expert had
gone down to ghominious defeat before the
giant halfback OF the West Point football eleven

had imposed expenses Of about this amount on
the county, despite the fact that the officers
paid no taxes The Senats decided thar this
was an injustice to the permanent residents and
proposed that the government should pay for
the education of the officers children. The
House. however. apparently of the opinion that
the government was enjoying "a good thing

these changes the bill was agreed to. The pro-
vision placing Senator Hawley, of Connecticut
and General Peter Osterhaus, on the retired
list of the army brigadier generals was
adopted.

sions

NO FOR CUSTOMS MEN
Delay of Congress to Pass Deficiency
Bill the Cause.

Employees in the customs service in this city, as
in other parts of the country failed to get their
pay yesterday, the regular payday. For a week
they have been fearful that the failure of Congress
to pass the deficiency bill for the customs service
would cause delay in their salaries. Yesterday
they were worrying. lest Congress might tack on
the City Bank matter to the deficiency bill and
thus hold them up for three months
There is a regular provision for 5000 900 for the
customs service. that does require action by
Congress- but the expense Of the service is now
81. 10000 II Congress dhols up the deficiency bill
the employees will get any money until July. and
will not be able collect their salaries due in the
mean time until November. Collector Stranahan is
confident, however. that provision will be made
within few days for the expenses OF the service,
and the win get their salaries.
