Takes Punishment
 From Jackies
SECRETARY DANIELS INSTITUTES
 REFORM IN NAVY.
IS A RADICAL CHANGE
Abolition of Imprisonment for Deser- tion in Times of Peaee-DismissaI Instead of Prison Sentence for Over staying Leavs-Wsys for Honorable Discharge.

Washington, July 26.Abolition of inn prisonment for desertion from the navy in times of peace was ordered today by Secretary Daniels. Under the new regulation bluejackets who overstay their leave or commit simi ar breaches of dicipline will be summari- ly dismissed instead of being sent to prison, while men who become dis satisfied with the service and wish to quit may have an honorable discharge by merely refunding certain enlist ment allowances.
 Radical Departure.
 This radical departure from tradi- tional naval methods has been under consideration by the secretary ever since he came into offlc He an- nounced today that the navy now had very full quota, 91.351 enlisted men compared with a shortage of more than 1000 eighteen months ago and that the time to take the step had come. Secretary Daniels in a state ment announcing the new order said: "Enlistments in the navy have al- waays been for a definite period-aat present four years-and it has always been difficult and at times impossible for men to terminate their contract of enlistment by honorable discharge be- fore the enlistment expired. If man remained absent from his ship or duty | after having been granted leave, this | made him a desepter, and on convic-
 tion involved a prison sentence. Referendum Taken.
 After a very careful and thorough consideration, and after a referendum in which the opinions of many of the ] highest officers in the navy were ob- l tained, the secretary became convinc- | ed that this general situation was un-
 tenable and not in keeping witt | modern business ideas The new ordel is in accordance with the opinions ex | pressed by a majority of the officer, | of the navy whose views were invited l and whose long experience enabled | them to speak with authority"

LEGISLATORS WE'RE PLEASED.
Only TWO Members from Delegations
of Three Counties Absent.

Clemson College, Dec. 2.-Enthu-
siasm over what they saw and heard
and, in some instances, surprise,
were the expressions Of members of
the legislative delegations Of Ander-
son, Pickens and Oconee counties at
the close of their recent visit OF in
spection to Clemson College. The
legislators spent two days at the col
lege anu were busy nearly all of that
time, being personally conducted
throughout the large plant by Presi-
dent w. NJ. Riggs, at whose invitation
they had made the trip. Only two
members of the entire legislative
force of the three counties were, un-
able to be present.
Clemson College happens to be al
most exactly at the joining point of
these three counties. The admins
tration building and most Of the DOR
mitories are in Oconee county. Just
across the road, however, in Pickens
county, are numerous faculty houses,
the veterinary hospital, the expert
ment station and other property Of
the college. On the other hand, An
derson county begins within a
stone's-throw of the end Of Glenn
sons land. Therefore, it may truly
be said that Anderson, Pickens and
Oconee counties are all "home coun-
ties" for Clemson.
President Riggs invited the mem
bers Of the General Assembly from
these three counties to Clemson Col
lege for a thorough inspection. When
they came they were escorted over
the college farm and buildings, the
experiment station, and oSher points
OF interest. They were entertained
at night by an illustrated lecture by
the president on the organization
and administration Of the college.
Among other things they took meal
in the mess hall with the cadets and
saw the cadet regiment On parade.
