POLITICS is AGAIN
AFFECTING DANIELS
Dismissed Admiral Fullam
Following Democratic
Pressure.

WASIIINGTON, Sept. 1S.-POlitics
has again crcpt into Secretary Duuis,s
administration Of the navy depart
mcut as evidenced by the ousting OF
Neur-AdmIral William T.. Fullam from
The supcriutcudcuCy of the Naval
academy at Annapolis shortly after
the conclusion Of the %'gOuging' in
y]cstigatiOu.
The transfer of Admiral Fullum to
the Puget Sound navy yard, where no
Will take command of the reserve
fleet, was brought about by influential
Democratic politicians, lead by Rep
rcscntativcs Hay and Carliu Of Viz
ginia, who acted AS attorney for ac-
Cuscd midshipmcn at the Annapolis
inquiry.
Political Pressure succeeds.
When Admiral Fullam discovered
that midshipmcu, who had been
placed on their honor, were stealing
examination questions and otherwise
uractlcing dishonesty i'm examinations,
he conducted a rigid Investigation,
and as "a result recommended the dis
mIssJl of seven uidshipWcn. When
his recommendations reached the
navy department. political pressure
was brought to bcur i'm behalf OF tho
accused midshipmen, aud Secretary
Daniels ordered another examination
by q special board, as a result OF
which two young men We're dismissed
and others rcprimandCd and punished
1t was at this Investigation that the
two virginia representatives, In the
house appeared as attorneys for ac-
cuscd midshipmcn whom they mad APP
pointed to the Naval academy, and
throughout tho inquiry they placed
admiral Fullam in the attitude Of be-
ing ON trial and I'm many ways sought
TO bclittIc him.
When the Investigation closed Rep
resentatiycs Hay and Carlin, backed
by Oh err Democratic congressman,
whose appointccs had been brought
into diyrputc by the disclosures OF Adj
mirrl FullIm, made a dcmlnd on Sec
rctCry Daniels that Admiral Fullam
be- relieved of duty at the academy.
Secretary Daniels ordered Admiral
Fuilatn 10 the Puget Sound navy yard.
The Importance OF the Fullam incl
dent lies in the effect the transfer
will have on the Naval academy. Adj
mlral FIlltm stands reprimanded for
having insisted that the midshipmen
conduct themselves honOrably and
honesty.

EXPENSE IS A
Fight for Country Without
Money Enough to Buy
Necessities.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 1S.-Pleas for bet
ter payment for midshipmen appear
frequently in the English newspapers,
for it is objected that lad exposing
his life to the enemy and doing his
duty on ship like any other officer
is not ever self-supportins.
In England the naval cadets, taken
at about the age Of 10 years, are
placed in the royal naval college at
Osborne, where they spend two years.
At the end Of this period, if success
full in their examinations, they are
promoted to the royal naval college at
Dartmouth for advanced instruction.
On leaving Dartmouth after two years
of study, they pass six months on a
training ship. Then they are drafted
to various warships as midshipmen.
Thus the midshipman of II or IS has
had four and a half years of study
and discipline behind him, which fits
him for duty as a junior officer.
During the four years In the naval
schools, the cadets parents pay tut
ton fees of 1915 a year, which, with
uniforms and extras, amounts to
about 500. on being promoted to
midshipman's rank, the cadet receives
Is. cd, or AZ cents a day, while his
parents or guardians have the pros
pect before them of paying $3.50 a
year for mess bills to the accountant
general of the navy. A midshipman
must serve nearly three years before
getting a commission as sublieuten-
ant.
Up to the present naval casualty
lists show that midshipmen have been
harder hit than any other rank. Yet
for serving their country, they have
to pay on the basis OF 900 holding
this rank S225,000 a year to the gov
eminent.
only sons of well-to-do people are
supposed to enter the navy, but in
comes have been hard hit by the war
and the extra tax is in many cases Sc
verely felt. The British soldier draws
20 cents a day with uniform, kit and
food given him. The trained mid
shipman gets AZ cents a day and pays
for his own food, uniforms and equip
ment

Hidden Keepsakes Are
Always Taken From the
Prisoners But Returned

tory of the pockets of German
soldiers taken prisoners is as
thorough as at the beginning OF
the war, though 1t rarely dis
closes anything important, cX-
cept occasionally in the case Of
officers so taken by surprise that
they had no chance to make away
with interesting documents.
The men drawn mp In line must
empty their pockets on the
ground before them. The first
thing is generally d knife and
the article most common after
that is the notebook. The knife
is c~onfiscated and the notebook
is held for careful translation, to
be returned IL not found Of mill
tary value. It is generally a de-
positOry OF sentiment, often in
terspersed with verses, addresses
and minute accounts Of money
spent, loaned or borrowed.
Rarely does it contain any revela-
lions Of interest to the staff. II
requires careful CrOss-eXamina-
ton by the best German-speaking
officers to bring these out.
Tobacco in some form is always
to be found, mixed often with
broken pieces Of chocolate and
the last thing that Is generally
produced, hesitatingly from some
inside pocket, is a photograph Of
a woman or a child.

In proportion to size, man Is one
of the weakest animals on the earth.
The muscles of a large-sized oyster

There is a crab that will lift 942

equivalent OF an average size nan

who made many experiments, found
that the strength Of a fly which was

inches square.
There is a little bug that can drag
six matches, equivalent to a mans

STEAL RICKSHAW IN CHINA
AND GET DEATH PENALTY

PEKING. Sept. 1S.-Wang
Lung, a rebel leader who form
erly commanded the Sungkiang
troops and was responsible for
many disturbances inspired by
Huang Hsing and other prom
lnent agitators, was executed in
Picking recently, while three Of
his accOmplices were sentenced
to Imprisonment for long terms.
Wang Shun, a former financial
commissioner Of Kiangsi, has also
been sentenced to death for hav-
ing received brides and for selling
offices. His trial was long and
hard-fought 1t was Impossible
at first to prove the charges, but
it happened that during the trial
policemen noticed much smoke

house. They rushed in and dis
covered the former commissioner
burning official papers. Among
the papers seized by the officers
were documents which are said
to have established his guilt.
Death sentences are not infre-
quent in China for dishonesty and
theft. In fact a law has been
passed under President Yuan
Shi-kai's direction which makes
the theft Of as small an object as

How many more unarmed ships are to be
sunk by these German pirates pirates who
after sinking the William L, Frye were re-
ceived by us with the highest distinction,
and who repaid us by breaking their paroles?
How many Bethlehem plants, and Roebling

blown up?

serious situation 2rhich Bcynsdo5F and his
pals lure made for as, we ourselves will be

What is the President afraid of? Why

Why does he not demand reply TO has

What possible excuse can the two Emperors
make for shelling and sinking the life-boats,
