Naval Academy Traditions.

The newspapers have had some inter-
estsng comments to make in connection
with the tragic affair al the Naval
Academy involving the mysterious drown
ing Of young woman. a member Of the
family OF the superintendent of that In
stitution, and two midshipmen. The cir
cumstances of the disaster were such as
to arouse many expressions of sympathy.
This is easier to understand than some of
the other comments which have been
prompted by the calamity.
Much has been made. for instance, OF
the fact that the mldshipmen must have
lost their lives in an attempt to rescue
their companion. This is presented as
loyalty to the traditions" OF the Naval
Academy, as If 1t were heroism which
is the special characteristic of midship-
men.
There is no question of the gallantry
of the young men; but is it entirely fair
10 create the impression that this self
saerihce-lf it were such-had any rela-
ton TO the training given at Annapolis
or the attributes OF the midshipmen as
distinguished from those who are not OF
that corps? It would be a pretty poor
specimen Of man who did not make an
effort 10 save another person. man or
woman, from drowning. 1t would be the

had not done their best. It Is proper to
celebrate their deed, even when it must
be entirely assumed, as is necessary
from the absence of any information
concerning the cause and circumstances
Of the drowning. But it is not entirely
necessary TO make 1t appear that these
midshipmen have done something which
those who are not midshipmen would fail
10 do under similar circumstances.
The traditions of the Naval Academy
are entitled 10 public respect. but it is
not a tradition OF that institution in the
sense that 1t is an exclusive possession.
when It comes 70 saving human lives.
The gallantry OF the midshipmen who
were drowned and the innumerable in
stances OF the discharge Of duty in the
face Of known peril to the credit of the
Naval Academy personnel, make it un-
necessary to add anything merely spec
tacular to this latest tragedy. The ira
ditions OF the Naval Academy and of
the navy itself require no such exploita-
ton.

the Federal force considerably outnum-

this bloody conflict Is best told by the

cided upon a charge on Cemetery Hill
The Federal troops lay still and did not
return the FIRE until the Confederate army
was almost within reach. When they
came within musket range the Federal
army opened fire. 1t was not long before
It was a hand-to-hand conflict. Every
man fought for himself Several attempts
were made TO take the hill. but without
success. and it was finally determined to
abandon the project.
It was now Gen. Meades turn 10 make
an attack. He placed his troops IN order
and charged down the hill and into the
town. The Confederate army had met
with such terrible reverses, after three
days fighting against fearful odds. that
the army was tired out. and. seeing that
further invasion of Pennsylvania would
be useless under the circumstances, Lee
began his retreat toward the Potomac
under cover of the darkness and a heavy
rain. Lee crossed the Potomac on the
night of the 18th, without having been at
tackled by the pursuing Federal army.
1t was crushing defeat that the South
ern army had sustained, but II was not a
rout- There were many individual in
stances Of bravery on both sides in the
conflict.
A Northern historian thus pays tribute
to the valor OF the Confederates: '.The
imp stuous bravery with which the Con-
federate troops fought is illustrated by
the fact that every brigadier in Pickett's
division was killed or wounded: out Of
twenty four regimental officers, only two
escaped; the colonies Of five Virginia regi-
