Military Features at ". M. /.

Attractive military features Mon
day and Tuesday attracted large
crowds to the V. NJ. l. commence
ment. Butts manual, bayonet ex-
ercises, rife competition, reviews
and parades, signaling with hello
graph and flags, kept the cadets
busy. Butts manual is a beautiful
and spectacular drill, as is also the
bayonet exercise.
The special attraction of the mill
tary features is the Sham Battle, .
which was given Tuesday morning.
The young soldiers appeared on the
field OF battle looking the trim war
riors they were, and for a while the
conflict resembled sure enough
battle. Cadet Captain Male led the
offensive side, and Cadet Captain
English the defensive.
Regimental review before the
board of visitors was given Monday
afternoon and review before the
alumni Tuesday afternoon.

DR.. G. B. Eager Delivered Sermon
to Cadets Sunday

Rev. George b. Eager. ID. ID. pro
lessor in the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary of Louisville,
KY, delivered the commencement
sermon to the cadets of the Virginia
Military Institute iast Sunday morn
ing in Stouewall Jackson Memorial |
Hall, before large and apprecia-
tive audience. Many of the con-
gregation remembered DIR. Eager
Who more than thirty ago was pas.
tor OF the Lexington Baptist church.
General Nichols, the superinten-
dent. announced that DR.. Eager
would preach the sermon assist
by DR.. Manly Of the Lexington Bap-
fist church.
| Previous to announcing his text,
DR.. Eager expressed the pleasure
it afforded him 10 have the privilege
of addressing Lexington audience
again. He for moment indulged
in "reminiscences of the long ago, Of
the glories of the place, of her stall
ward people and of the surrounding
sapphire hills.
The subject of the sermon was
Service, as expressed in John
4:34- My meat is to do the will OF
him that sent me, and to finish his
work. The preacher declared that
every man had his work and he
should enter upon it in such a way
as 10 inspire and accomplish the
best results. No task, said he, is
commonplace. Jesus dignified labor
and forever hallowed the sweat OF
the brow. Young men should take
and use the things nearest at hand
and not wait for some great under
taking to turn up. They should
have faith--faith in themselves, faith
In their own ability 10 accom- plish-
' without faith it is impossible tC
achieve anything worth while.
The sermon was plain gospel
message, delivered with earnestnes,
[ and sympathy.
4 Music was furnished by the V. NJ
: | orchestra. The decorations OF
a the platform were tasty and elabo
, rate.

leading reports concerning American ex-
ports so az to swell the volume Of Ameri-

against the bureau. and that the depart
ment would not be warranted in consider

port points out errors, misapprehensions

case against the accuracy of the statistics
of exports, and that the department
would not be warranted in making any
further investigation of the charges here
tofore made by him or that he may make
in the future. The incident should be
considered as closed
Secretary Nagel approved the report OF
Director Durand and directed that the
charges be dismissed. completely exon
Grating Director Austin and the bureau
