Many To Take MIddies' Test.

In accordance with the new regula-
tions adopted by Congress, the first Of
TINS years mental examinations OF can
didates for admission into the Naval
Academy as midshipmen will take
place in February this year. instead of
April. as heretofore, and preparations
are now being made for the test. The
second and last examination will be
held in April instead Of in June, as in
previous years. Tuesday is the day
fixed for the beginning of the tests,
which will be conducted at the various
civil service stations throughout the
country. 1t is expected that at leaat
half of the 500 or more candidates who
have been designated for appoint
ments this year will take the initial
examinations. A number of the can
didates who have been pursuing
preparatory course of study at the An
napolis preparatory schools will take
the examination next week, going to
Washington for the purpose. Some
thing like 400 vacancies exist at the
academy this year, but it is not likely
that more than two-thirds of these will
be filed After this years examina
tions the number Of appointments to
the Naval Academy will be reduced by
half, and each Senator and Represen-
tative in Congress will be allowed to
name only one candidate instead OF
two, as has been the case for num-
Der Of years. All physical examina-
tons will be conducted at the Naval
Academy in June.

absolutely refused to resign, but did
not take the trouble to make known
his decision personally to the Senate.
