Col. Townsley Recommends Main
tanning Full Strength Of
700 Cadets.

Maintenance of 700 cadets. the max
mum number for which accommoda-
lions are Afforded at West Point, is the
principal recommendation in the annual
report of Col. c. P. Townsley, suDerin-
tendent of the academy, who also thinks
that officers detailed as instructors
should be excepted from the operation
of the "Manchu law"
Col. Townsly points out that under
the law of 1910 and the size of the
classes now in the academy there will
be 72O cadetships for 1915 and 745 for
1916. After that unless the law Is re-
enacted classes VIII drop $50 below the
capacity of the academy.
Should Be Kept Up.
'1n the interests of the country. the
army and economy to the government"
says Col. Towns.ey, "the maximum num-
Der of cadets that can be accommodated
at the academy should be kept under in
struction. Only A per cent of the active
army officers are graduates o. the acaue-
my. This can be fully doubled if the
academy is kept up to its capacity of 700
cadets"
Col Townsley called attention to the
unusually large number of physically de-
fective candidates for cadetshp. 142 out
of 562 who were examined having been
rejected.
1.-THE physical requirements are none
too rigid for these who are to lead a
somewhat strenuous life and be able to
meet the requirements of field and war
service when called to do so,' the re-
port observes
With respect to the operation of the
"Manchu law" Col. Townsley says:
1t is not my purpose to oppose this
detached service law, which was de-
signed to correct existing and serious
evils, but merely to urge that an ex-
ception be made in the case of officers
detailed to this academy. SO that they
may remain here for period of four
years, regardless Of any other detached
service they may have had. l recon-
men, 1t. not in the interests of the
officers detailed, but solely for the
proper instruction and discipline of
the cadets at the academy with the
resulting benefit to the army in gen.
eral."

This national bargain sale of cotton

those interested in this movement.
Paul Warburg stated to the House COM
mittee on banking and currency this
week that the people are boarding

barrassing business.
This bargain sale will bring perhaps
s1O,000,0O0 of these boards into active

AS people always select gold or legal

who wish to get rid of their roost

their eggs during hot weather. The

and getting rid of the rooster will
