picturesque touch to the drama Of
life and color in Maryland's quaint
old capital city.
Even without the special fills that
will render notable the big week Of
1912 at Annapolis it may be empha-
sized that Graduation Week at the
Naval Academy is quite different from
the corresponding occasion at other
seats of learning. AS matter OF fact
in naval and official circles it is al
most always referred to as June
Week" in place of Graduation Week
That gives a hint as to the situation
the graduation exercises are mere
~ one feature of the six or seven
dag round of excitement and from
the standpoint of the average onlook-
er, the awarding of the diplomas is
the least impressive incident of the
program and is quite overshadowed
by the displays replete with naval
pomp and ceremony.
The explanation of this state of II.
fairs is that the final week of the
academic year at Annapolis has a
dual character. 1t is Graduation
Week but it is also Visitors Week. -
z his latter has not the Significance
that some readers might suppose. 1t
does not mean a week for the as
sembling of relatives, tourists and
casual sightseers although hun
dreds do come in these roles-but a
week for the conduct of an official
inspection by a Board of Visitors, ap-
pointed by the President of the Unit
cd States to make an annual inspeC-
ton of the Naval Academy, it's facili-
ties and methods in order to recon-
mend to Congress what should be
done during the ensuing year in the
way of apprOpriating money for the
improvement and upkeep of the
worlds greatest nava! school
The Board of Visitors is compos.
cd of five T. S Senators and Repre-.
! Gentatives and six or seven private
citizens from various ports of the
country appointed, for this express
! task, as has been explained, by the
President of the United States. When
this board assemblies at Annapolis
the members naturally want to have
look at everything connected with
the big school and to see how every
6ing is done On the other hand
the naval officers who are in charge
at the Academy are only too anX-
ious to put the best foot forward,
SO to speak, and to impress the visit
ors with the resources, opportunities
methods and results at the naval I'm
ishing school," for upon the impress

hearts of the midshipmen--the fau
sex predominating by tremendous
majority. Indeed, such is the influx
that the limited hotel and boarding
house accommodations are fully en-
gagged months in advance and many
visitors are obliged to travel by troll
ley to Washington and Baltimore
each night to secure sleeping quar-
tiers.
The spectaculaI effect of the drills
ard sham battles in which the mid.
shipmen appear successfully as en-
giueers, infantrymen and artillery
men is greatly heightened by the fact
that in most OF these military per-
fo.mances the young men appear in
white duck uniforms that present a
most effective appearance against tie
rich green background of the campus
and parade ground. The familiar ~.
eryday uniform of more sombre hue
is tabooed during June Week, except
for a few of the ceremonials. An.
other factor that contributes to the
Pleasing effect of the annual open
air spectacle at Annapolis is the eX
Cellent music that is furnished as
an accompaniment to the maThng
and firing. The Naval Academy
boasts one of thu best bands in I'm
Gle Sans service, and these must
Clans have to work early and late
/ throughout this week of weeks.

Graduation week at every school
end university is naturally the gay
est and most festive of the year and
this is especially true at the United
States naval Academy at Annapolis.
Maryland. However there are indi-
cations that the graduation season of
1912 at Uncle Sans great maritime
University will surpass, in spectator
lar and social features, any of its pre-.
deCessors even at this naval seat of
learning, which is famous for it's pic
tJresque wind-up of the academic
year. Indeed, the prospect of unusual
attractions has drawn an exceptional
number of visitors from all parts of
the country-sightseer who love an
impressive show as well as those who
arc kin to the graduates.
There are several factors which
arc contributing to make the present
graduation season notable at the $10,-
100000 training school for our future
admirals. Prominent among these
influences is the fact that Congress
has finally, after years of entreaties,
passed legislation which enables the
graduates at Annapolis to be com
missioned as full-fedged officers IN
the navy as soon as they. receive
hnfVa TIL y,vI.g ~ y
yates were, in effect, kept on proba-
tior for two years and since their
rank during this interim was merely
that of Passed Midshipmen the status
was unsatisfactory in some respects.
But the graduates of 1912 can be
commissioned as ensigns Immediately
upon graduation and attain at once
to all the prerogatives of officers in
Uncle Sans sea service.
Another departure from former pro-
cedure that gives a new interest and
dignity to the present wind-up of the
academic year is that it is now the
plan to send the "middies" for their
summer cruise on the first-class bat
tleships of our navy instead Of. on
special practice ships of somewhat
Anticipated type as was formerly the
custom. AS our readers are doubt
less aware it has long been the GUS
tom at the Naval Academy to have
all the students devote the three sum
mer months to practice in seaman
ship and navigation on the broad At
lantic-the student body sailing away
at the close of graduation week and
not returning until September For
rlerly, however, obsolete naval craft
at one time the old sailing ships
and later the monitors--were used as
floating school rooms 1t has now
been decided, however, that our ad,
rirals in the making should be famil
iarized from the very outset Of their
careers with battleships of the latest
approved modern type and conse
quently there was Matched the plan
of distributing the young men among
the cruising battleships of the fleet

sembling of these ships to take on the
boys from the Academy will add q

patient in Ward X, Government Hos
pital for the Insane, and considered a
harmless and durable patient by the ply
Gicians, escaped from the hospital last
night and is being sought by the police
of the city and the authorities of Mary
land.
The young woman was allowed to ex-
ercise in the grounds without being kept
under close surveillance and she left
the grounds without being seen. Shortly
after her escape was discovered the hos
pital authorities were notified that she
had been seen walking across the country
toward Hyattsville and officials of that
place were requested to watch for her.
Miss Cummings was fully clothed with
the exception of a hat. She wore a gray
suit and lace glove and her left hand
was bandaged because of a slight injury
received. She weighs 30 pounds and is
five feet two inches tall. Physicians fear
that exposure to the chill night air may
result seriously for the girl.

AUTO ASSOCIATION
TO LOCATE HERE
Permanent Office to Be Maintained
to Promote Good Roads
Building.

With the early opening OF headquarters
at Washington by the American Auto
mobile Association. the campaign Of the
organized motorists OF the United States
for national roads takes on new vigor
and becomes conferred at the National
Capital While the principal headquar-
tiers OF the American Automobile Associa-
ton will remain in New York, the associa-
tons policy of promoting road building
by the Federal government has been found
to necessitate such close and constant
touch with the various Federal agencies
involved, including the offices of Public
Roads Of the Department Of Agriculture,
the Engineering Corps of the United
States Army and the Department of the
Interior, that it is felt the work can be
greatly expedited through the mainte-
nance of a permanent Washington office.
Chairman George c. Diehl. of the A. A.
A National Good Roads Board, advises
that the outlook for the National Roads
Convention, to he held in Washington,
March and next, is very promising.
Every mail is bringing announcements
from every part of the country OF the
appointment of additional delegates to
this convention and II is already assured
that it will be the most widely representa-
tive and nationally influential good roads
gathering that has yet been held.

Long Aero Flight.
IN LOUISIANA HoPITAL

Special to The Washington Herald.
New Orleans, La. Dec. 15.-The longest
hydro-aeroplane flight ever attempted
has been halted $50 miles from its ter
minus. and the intrepid birdman, Antony
Janus, Of Washington, D. C., is lying
Ill in a hospital in Wilhelm, La, Of ap-
pendicitis.

is endeavoring to fly from Omaha to New
Orleans, following the Mississippi River.
1t was within two hours flight Of his
destination that he was stricken.
Janus left Omaha November 6, and has
completed 1,S23 miles of his 1,s7S-mile
journey. He has flown by easy stages
for thIrty-eight days. The distance from
here to Wilhelm, La, is $50 miles.

soning last Friday, and not until yester-
day was his case diagnosed as appendi-
cltis. His manager is in this city,
owing to disabled wire communications is
unable to get in touch with the aviator.
Janus already has set a record for
his journey Of 1,S23 miles being the long
est ever reported. When he started from
Omaha he had with him as passenger
T. W. Benoist. OF St. Louis, builder of
the biplane type of marine aircraft which
Janus flies. Later a photographer took
the builders place. For time an auto
mobile tried to keep up with the machine,
which followed the tortuous channel of
the river. but owing to bad roads the
land vehicle was forced to drop out after
a few days.
At st. Louis, which the aviator reached
in eleven days, flying III miles, the
hydroplane was destroyed by fire. An
other replaced it, and he kept up the
flight.
Friends OF Antony Janus. the Wash.
ington aviator. living at 1868 Biltmore
Street, said last night that they had not
heard of his Illness
They said the young aviator had plan
ned to complete his flight in time to re-
turn to this city for the Christmas holi
days. The reports which they have re-
ceived Of the aviator's progress. they
said, contained no indications Of his ILL
ness.

leave $50 collateral for conducting gam
bling on his premises. and the others

Paterson, y. J., Dec. 15.-In a half mil
lion dollar fire which destroyed several or
the largest stores in the retail district to-
day, Joseph Popp, night Waterman for
the Diskon Dry Goods Company the prin-
cipal loser, jumped from the roof of the
building, into net held by fremen and
was so badly injured that his death is
expected. Several firemen were badly
burned and many others cut by flying
glass.
The fire spread so rapidly that Popp,
who was on the third floor, was unable
TO gain a stairway and was forced to
take to the roof. The department had
no ladder Of sufficient length to reach the
top of the building and Popp was forced
to jump. He struck the edge of the net
and his feet went through to the asphalt
street.

Palace mt Noon.
London, Dec. 1.-THE peace conference
which has before it the arduous task Of
arranging terms of permanent peace be-
tween the Balkan states and Turkey
will begin at noon tomorrow in the
historic St. James Palace, the picture
gallery having been set aside for the use
Of the plenipOtentiaries. Although all
the delegates have arrived for the mo-
mentuous gathering and gossip on all
phases OF the question has been high
all day and evening, nothing has de-
veloped yet to show whether any grave
difficulty is likely to arise over the at
tendance Of the Greek delegates.

man, think the Austro-Servian con-
troversy a huge bluff on the part Of
Austria.
