THEN--and NOW

Today the United States Naval Academy is called the largest and most effieciept naval training school in the world. More than 4,6o0 mid shipmen have mastered it's advanc- ed and rigid curriculum and have received commissions as officers in the United States navy. Many have won distinguished honors in the service of the country; many others have returned to private life after graduation and won eminence in industry. Today there are nearly 300 potential admirals studying naval warfare at Annapolis under the guidance of a faculty number ing about 120 naval officers and civilians. Ten years ago the Naval Academy was rejuvenated. Con- gress, probably flushed by the bril- liant success of the navy in the Spanish American War, appropriat- ed S10,000, 900 for the construction of new set of buildings to re- place those anticipated structures that had served for more than half g. century. Today the Naval Acad- emy includes the most magnificent group of buildings in the world, devoted to such purpose. While extremely modern in it's exterior aspect, the honorable career of the Academy and the navy is told by the many relics there deposited. Chief among >the collection of his toric flags is Commodore Perry's bearing the legend Don't Give Up the Ship" In the beautiful chapel lies the remains of John Paul Jones which were found after a long search buried in Paris. The memories of many naval heroes and deeds are perpetuated' in statuary. Historic cannon dot the campus.

Sixty-nine years ago today the seM 6uuepeov IsABN sslelS pelIuQ opened at Annapolis. The event marked the beginning of new era in the United States navy. The Naval School as the institution was first designated, consisted of an old abandoned army post, Fort Severn. Its founder was George Bancroft, historian and Secretary of the Navy, who had yainly appeal ed to Congress for money with which to establish a school for the instriction of midshipmen in the arts of naval warfare. Congress believed that the old-time methods of training future admirals were good enough. In those days aspir- ants for naval commissions were simply taken aboard the wooden warships and taught seanlanship by actual experience. They were oc- casionaily set ashore to learn or civilian pedagogues the the rs- reading, 'riting and 'rifhmatic- with a smattering of history and geography. The first step forward came when midshipmen ashore were ordered to report to the Naval Asy- lum at Philadelphia to study under the governor and several assistant professors. The second and great est step forward came when the Secretary of War turned Fort Sew ern over to the Navy for a naval training school. The first class con- sisted of fifty-six midshipmen trans ferred from cruising ships. The first superintendent was Franklin Buchanan who eighteen years lat CT during the Civil War was to fight for the Confederacy against Admiral Farragut at Mobile Bay. During this war the Naval Academy was temporarily transferred to Newport, R. I.

THE MEXICAN CONFERENCE.

It has been made emphatic that
 this country will not take sides in the present dispute which stands in
 the way of peace in the republic of Mexico. If the leaders in that coun-
 try, or in the present difficulty are
 unable to adjust the differences they
 are entirely unfit for handling the much greater problem of establish
 ing a constitutional government. -
 If there Is the right disposition dis
 played there ought to be no great trouble or delay in overcoming the
 present break and tackling the much harder tasks which face the coun- try. It is time that there should be a realization of this if 1t is intended to avoid state of revolution and dis order bordering of anarchy.
 Great responsibilities rest upon the
 participants in the conference which takes place commencing today al Aguascaljentes. What will be the re- suit it is impossible to tell, but what should be done has been apparent for long time. There should be a hum b1e putting aside of personal ambi- tions, a conscientious consideration of the conditions and the facts present ed, a recognition of existing defects, and determination that tho welfare
 of the nation shall be placed first.
 Never until that is done can Mexico get upon its feet. Changing the con- trol of government by force simply to carry on past practices doesn't mean progress. However much Mexico has been disposed to resort to force rath- CT than reason, it would be an excel lent thing for the republic if this conference brought about @ change.

SMASHING ANTWERP,

Inability to prevent |. the German army from drawing up and putting into action their big siege guns makes tho fate of the Belgian city of Antwerp only question of time. The battering down of the outer circle of defenses displays the powerful Instruments of destruction which have been planted before that city and discIoses the fact that the inner circle and the city are destined to similar treatment.
 Such conquest is for the purpose of putting an end to tho Belgian forces now centered in that city. They have been enc of the greatest obstacles in the onward march of the German army from the very start, preventing as they did at Ldege and Namur the quick dash of the German forces which was expected to catch the French unpre- pared. Ever since the allies have been turning back the invaders the Bel gians hare been a. source Of danger at the rear and once joined with the allies as a result of the circling move rnent they wouId greatly aid in the driving back of Kaiser Williams men. Germany is therefore striking hard at what is a. vafnerzbEs point. though it is the wiping out of the Belgian op- position, rather than. the strategic value of the city which is desired.
 If it is going to be accomplished it likewise requires quick action, that the attacking army may not be cut off from the main body, before the cap- ture of the city is accomplished. Ant werp will be the first important for tified city to be destreyed if the fn- vestment is accomplished and will largely increase the destruction and loss which has been r1eaped upon the innocent Belgians.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.

With regard to the service which they are expected to render to the town and the state, the republicans of Norwich have unanimously chosen two we'll known and able citizens as can- dfdates for the legislature. Albert J. Bailey and Joseph H. Henderson are men who have the full confidence of the townspeopce, irrespective of party, besides being equipped in every way for the office. They are men of good business judgment. They are alive to the interests of the town and possess the Integrity in which full reliance can be placed. They are men who will represent and their nominations com splete the local republican ticket for the November election.
 Thereon as candidate for senator ! from this district John H. Barnes must sbs recognised as 6 progressive citi- , zen who has had much experience aI- ready in the senate and one thorougfl- ly qualified to carefully guard the in lterests of his district and of Connecti- cut in the upper house.

 of that office. which deserves to be protected from the ravages of politics
 is sudic&ent to convince that he is the

 The schools are taking up this i'm portant matter. Vocational training is one mark of the modern educational advance. It involves discovery of each pupils peculiar powers.

A sadly high percentage Of our high school gradu- ates drift into work that proves prac- ticaily of this character. The educa- l tors have set themselves to avoid, so far as possible, so unhappy g. condi- | tion. They are trying to conserve that most precious, and doubtless most wasted form of force the world knows human energy.
