Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-04-28


The graduation day at the Naval Aca-
denny for the remainder of the class of 1907
will be June 6. On that occasion the third
section OF the class will be graduated. There
are seventy-four midshipmen at the aca-
denny to be examined for this graduation.
The class has already had two gradua-
tons, the first in September and the second
in February. 1t is hoped that there may
be need of no more premature graduations
at the Naval Academy, and that the Grass
of 1868 will remain in its entirety at An
napolis until June of that year.
Naval Clothing Allowance.
A general order will shortly be issued
from the Navy Department prescribing the
new allowance for clothing outfits for the
enlisted men of the navy after July /. This
allowance for all enlisted men is increased
from SIS to 500 with the exception of those
of the messmen branch. In the case of
orientals on the Asiatic station, the allow
ance is $50 to represent their lesser nee0 IN
that respect, while for the Ffta f1taS at
Samoa the allowance is $40, since the
latter have an economy of attire which
comes well within that reduced allow
ance.
