ENFORCED MILITARY
DUTY URGED FOR ALL

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE National
Security League, in a report issued on
the National Guard. urged the require
ment of certain amount of military
duty from all men between the ages of
eighteen and forty-five ears. 1t Is also
urged that boys in the public schools
should receive physical instruction
! aimed specially at making them good
soldiers or sailors. and that the boys
should be taught military tactics.
The report is. made BY the militia COM
mittee. of which Col Charles E. Ly-
decker is chairman 1t says. In part: -
Legislative measures for national de-
fense should embrace all persons liable
TO militia duty. whose object should be
| rather to prepare proper material out
of which. when required, a greater army
and navy may the more speedily be Gre
ated. rather than the effort to create a
very large army or line Of defense called
organized militia as part Of the
army"

NEW YORK, July H-In the first
Of the series of three races off Sandy

windward and leeward course of fif-
teen miles to a leg, or thirty miles In all.
and the Resolute won by margin OF 4
minutes and l6 seconds actual, and
minutes and q seconds corrected time.
OF which minutes and 10 seconds was
gained on the weather leg and the bal

The warning signal was set at IL o'clock

of five minutes.
1t was the Resolute's race from start

to a fluke. The turning mark was of

Jimmy La Fontaine VIII Have
More Direct Charge Than
Ever Before.

After a lapse Of nearly a month. the
Ardmore Athletic and Social Club is
again to hold matches, this time under
the direct management OF Jimmy La
Fontaine, who has always been closely
allied with the conducting of the club.
but who has decided to give 1t more
attention than ever. La Fontaine
wishes to reopen his club with some
attraction which will meet with public
appeal. and is casting about for a
suitable opponent for Tommy Lowe,
who has been seen in many fast
rounds at Ardmore.
Grover Hayes and Willie Houck, the
former OF Chicago and the latter OF
Philadelphia, are both anxious to go
fifteen rounds with the Washington boy
and both are being given serious con
sideratio
In Hayes or Houck. Lowe will meet
one Of the fastest men in the game as
both are clever, and are one Of the
hardest hitting lightweight in the ring
today.
Looking over their record 1t is seen
they have fought such good men as Sam
Robadeau. Joe Rivers. Matty Baldwin
Young Jack O'Brien, Jack Britton,
Freddy Welsh, and Johnny Kilbane, a
record Lowe himself can boast Of.
The next entertainment will probably
be staged during the week Of July 10.

DENIES M|DD|ES HAVE
BEEN PROVEN GUILTY
Counsel Explains Their Failure
to Report Papers Were IN
Their Possession.

ANNAPOLIS, July 14-Arguments nor
the defendants before the cribbing court
Of inquiry at the Naval Academy wero
continued this morning. n. p. Bushnell
of Peekski1l. N. Y, pleaded particularly
in behalf of Ralph NJ. Nelson. the bril-;
liant student Of the last graduating
class, and only member Of the first
class recommended for dismissal by.
the first board of investigation.
Bushnell declared that 40 efforts had
been made by the prosecution to connect
the defendants with the theft of the ex-
animation papers. The case against
them rested upon the assumption, he
said, that they must have known that
the papers Midshipman Moss received
through the mail were advance copies
of the examination. This view. he de-
| monv. of the defendants and OF moro
I than twenty other midshipmen VINO
swore that they would not have suspect-
| ed the character OF the papers recetved
, under precisely the same conditions.
They based their belief, he said, upon.
! the papers resemblance to old examIna-
ton papers. and the fact that they had
never known examinations to get out In
| advance.
| The only other ground upon which
| the defendants could be held culpable,
Bushnell said. was that they failed to
| report they had these papers. He
| claimed that they were In the same
/ position as nearly all the members Of
| the upper classes, and that they did
not make the report because they felt
II would be fsquealing" on their class
mates These things, he said, were
| regulated by custom at the academy.
| and 1t was the duty of the president
OF the first class, II anyone, to make
| the report. ~
Bushnell claimed that when Nelson
used the fourth class paper to coach
Il fhn hnr ~ olaa ~ lx,.~ lt
had been changed, and regarded It in
simply as a guide. and so informed his
pupils. The other points applying
specially to Nelson. he said, were the
'ragging" OF marks. the possession OF
a key. and the taking of some turbine
sheets
Bushnell argued that Raging marks
was school boy prank. not strongly
condemned by the authorities: that
the key in Nelson's possession was
for. the room where a typewriter was
kept in Bancroft Hall. and that the
turbine sheets conveyed no advance
Information, and were used to help a
classmate and not for his personal
benefit.
Congressman Hay. speaking for the
seven original DEFENDANTS, stated thst
he had positive knowledge that Sec.
retary Daniels would adopt the ind.
ings OF the present court as the basi.
: OF his action. He said he was con.
, vinced that standards OF honor among
. the midshiT men were as high as ever
and as high as that Of any stuJen
! body in the country.
