President Roosevelt has issued his
proclamation fixing the date of Thanks
giving Day, Thursday, November 20.
The President says in part:
''The time of year has come when,
in accordance with the wise custom
of our forefathers, it becomes my
duty to set aside special day of
thanksgiving and praise to the. Al
mighty because of the blessings we
have received and of prayer that these
blessings may be continued. Yet an
other year of widespread well-being
has past. Never before in our history,
or in the history of any other nation,
has a people enjoyed more Astounding
material prosperity tnan is ours; a
prosperity so great that it should
arouse in US no spirit of reckless
pride, and, least of all, a spirit of
needless disregard of our response
bilities. but rather sober sense of
our many blessings and resolute
purpose under Providence not to for
felt them by any action of our own.
We should be both reverently thank
full for what we have received and
earnestly bent upon turning it into a
means of grace and not of destruc-
fiOn.

ARE NEARING COMPLETION
Various Departments at Academy
Moving Into Buildings.

A strong indication Of the proper
tion of the work of constructing the
new Naval Academy. which has been
accomplished, is fact that not only are
the midshipmen all housed in their
new quarters. but that eight OF the
nine scholastic and professional de-
partmentS. which the curriculum of
the Naval Academy is divided, now
occupy the places prepared for them
in The new structures.
The last department 10 move into
the new buildings viii be that of
physics and chemistry, and that de-
partment will likely be in the new
academic building within month.
The unsightly temporary recitation
sheds will then he removed just as
the temporary quarters were removed
when Bancroft Hall was ready, for
occupancy by the midshipmen. and
the whole Naval academy grounds
and buildings will assume much the
appearance of completion.
The first department TO change To its
new abode was that of ordinance and
gunnery. which now occupies the
armory. The Department of Seaman
ship occupies the Seamanship Build
ing and that of Marine Engineering
and Naval Construction, the finely
equipped structure just TO the rear Of
the new Academic Building. The
other departments occupy what is
known as the academic wing of the
academic group. The latter consists
OF the main or library building and
the Academic and Physics and Chem
istry wings. The wings are joined to
the main building in such way as
to make il one structure, but il is
called the Academic Group.
The departments that now occupy
the academic group are those of Navi-
CATION. Mathematics, English and Law,
Mechanics and Modern Languages.
The Department of Physics and Chem
istry is still in its old building, but
some of the apparatus is being moved
into the new Physics and Chemistry
wing, the whole of which the depart
ment will occupy. The dynamos,
motors and other heavy machinery
are now being constructed, their foun-
dations being made in the concrete
of the floor of the building. The main
or library building Will be finished
in about six months. The contract
price of the whole building was
81, 1875, 900 and the John Pierce Co.

From The Game.

The Naval Academy football eleven
received n blow yesterday in the
fact that Norton, the capable quar-
treback, is threatened with appended
its and may be out of the game for
the season. There is hope, however,
that Norton is only suffering with

liable.
Norton is in the hospital at the
Academy, and every effort will be
made to get him in good shape. If he

He is WELL KNOWN.
Lieutenant GraydOn a Graduate of
The Naval Academy.

The case of Lieutenant James w.
Graydon, u. :. N, former naval
officer, an account of whose family
living ON So per week was published
III last nights Capital, has excited
much interest hree.
Lieutenant Graydon is graduate
of the Naval Academy, but his name
does not appear in the navy directory
because he resigned after his gradua-
ton, and only the names of officers
ON the active lit or retired list are car
ried in the directory. After his grad
uation as a midshipman nj the Naval
Academy, Lieutenant Graydon, being
an inventor, was offered salary of
$40, 600 Ossa~year by the Chinese govern
ment TO plan defenses of China dur
ing the Tonquin war. He was en-
ployed by the Canton of China until
the close of the war. when he was out
of job, so To speak, and has drifted
about since, having only recently been
heard of.
While the state of his domestic
affairs has been probably exaggerated,
the matter has now come TO the no
tice of the Navy League, who will
probably offer assistance, if Lieutenant
Graydon will accept. He is well
known here and has friends who ad-
mire his genius as an inventor, and
who believe had he not been cheated
out of his rights, he would be rich
man today. One of Lieutenant Gray.

ANTI-AMERICCN FEELING
The Case of The Japanese Midship-
man Explained.

In explanation Of the resignation
from the Naval Academy of the only
remaining japanese student here.
Midshipman Asahi Kitagaki, repre-
sentative OF the press was per-
mitted to see the original correspon-
dence which passed between the State
Department and the japanese Embassy
in Washington.
Under the date OF October 9 Secre-
tary Of State Root wrote yiseount
Aoki. the Japanese Ambassador, in
forming him tnat Midshipman Kita-
gaki was deficient in his studies and
had shown evidence of being unable
10 keep pace with the other members
of his class. Secretary Root stated
that his information had been obtained
from a report made to the Navy De-
partment by Rear-Admiral James III.
Sands. superintendent of the Naval
Academy.
on the following day. October 10,
1906, Ambassador Ioki wrote Sec re-
tary Root a courteous letter, in which
he acknowledged the RECEIPT of Mr..
Root communication. and asked per-
mission to have Midshipman Kitagaki
Withdrawn from the Naval Academy.
He said that he would very much
like TO have the superintendent of the
Naval Academy thanked for his eour-
teous treatment Of the Japanese mid
and acknowledged clearly
that the only reason why the young
man was being directed to withdraw
was because of his deficiency in his
studies, as reported by Secretary
Root.
These letters are on file in the State
Department and show clearly that
the report from the Naval Academy
that the Japanese midshipman was
Withdrawing from the Academy be-
cause of the anti-American feeling in
