Great Assemblage Sees Executive
Present Their Diplomas to
154 Future Admirals.

Annapolis. June 81 pray God it may
not lie necessary for our boys at Vera
Cruz to use any more force" reverently
declared President Wilson to-day IN the
course of his address to the ia graduates
Of the Naval Academy. He spoke before
an assemblage IF five thousand people IN
the Annapolis armory.
Other nations have been strong" the
President said; other nations have piled
wealth as high as the sky. but they
have come To disgrace because they used
their force and their wealth for the OPP
preston of mankind and their own ag-
grandizemcnt: and America will not bring
glory to herself. but disgrace. by follow
INK the beaten paths Of history. We must
strike out on new paths.
1T ought to he one Of your thoughts
all the time that YOU are sample Ameri-
cans, not merely sample navy men; not
merely sample soldiers but sample Amer
leans. and that YOU have the point OF
view Of America with regard 20 her navy
and her army, that she is using them
as the instruments Of civilization, not as
the instruments OF aggression. The Idea
OF America is to serve humanity ana
every time YOU let the Stars and Stripes
free to the wind you ought to realize that
that in itself is a message; that you are
on ain errand which other nayies lave
e"iattimes forgotten, not an GRAND "a
conquest, lii, an errand Of service
You must bear in mind that you are
the champions of what is right and fair
all around, 10 matter where YOU are. and
that II is for what is right and fair for
public welfare that you are ready 10
fight, not merely on the drop OF nat or
upon some slight punctilio.'
The President praised Rear Admiral
Fletcher, saving he had been on duty
longer at Vera cruz thar the other com
manders. and that he had the qualities
OF a statesman.

p. m. Mrs. Mary Minora, Of 24O Mulberry
St. went on the stand yesterday before
the United States Commission on Indus

in her home. The baby was present, too,
a more or less silent witness.
Since her father and her husband lost
their jobs about nine months ago she and
her mother have worked as fnishers on
trousers. Both couples live together, and
there is also a brother OF the real little
mother Only the generosity OF an uncle
and the efforts of the women and the
brother keep the home going
For five years, Mrs. Mnora said, she
has been working. At one time she was
able to earn 81 a day. but now the work
takes longer and the return is less. Her
mother gets 10 or 20 cents a day more
than she.
Paul Ornani, business agent OF the
Italian branch OF the United Brotherhood

where tailoring work is done he never
met a state inspector. He said the law
prohibiting the distribution OF work to
prospective mothers was not enforced.
