AMERICAN NAVY NOT
PREPARED FOR WAR
ScOrching Remarks by Admiral B.
o. Fiske.
TOAST AT ALUMNI DINNER.
Enlisted Personnel Declared to be In
sufficient to Man Inferior Material
We Could Oppose on invading
Fore

In responding to the toast, The
Navy, at the annual alumni dinner of
the Naval Academy last night, Rear
Admiral Bradley A. Fiske. U. S. N,
reiterated in even more positive terms
the statement that he had made be-
fore the House Committee on Naval
Affairs last winter, that the United
States Navy was unprepared for war
" ith any great power. Admiral
Fiske's declarations before the House
Committee brought him under the dis
favor of the naval administrator, and,
as result of the feeling created, he
resigned from the office of aid for
operations on the staff of Secretary
Daniels.
In the course of his remarks, Admiral
Fiske declared, latter painting a pic
ture of the unprepardeness of the
American naval establishment that i,
naval officers reslized all that he had
said. but they could accomplish moth
ing unless they made laymen realize
it.
With apparent particular reference TO
the disfavor with which his statement
before the Naval Committee had been
received by those having to do with
the formation of the naval policy, he
said that if naval Officers realize the
condition of affairs in the Navy lest
they should incur displeasure and spoil
their Individual careers, they were un-
worthy of the uniform they wore and
failed their country in her hour of
need, just as effectually as if they de-
serted her flag in war.
Secretary Daniels was among those
present who listened to the frank as
sertion of Admiral Fiske. The Ad-
miral said that American naval Off
GERS had seen the battle cruiser. the
scout, the submarine, the sirship, the
aeroplane and the mine developed by
foreign navies whose officers and men
were trained in the use of these in
strumentalities of warfare, but the
United States Navy had not developed
them, and officers and men were un-
trained in their use and tactics. Other
navies had built up great organizations
of highly-trained reserves. but the
United States has none worthy of the
name.
One of the most important state
ments he made was that while the
American Navy was as good in gun
merry as it had ever been, its European
competitors have accomplished feats
greater than any we have ever at
tempted. Admiral Fiske declared that
all naval officers, American and for
eign, knew that we had not tested war
pplans, no tested organization for
war, no proper system of communi-
cations, no tested mobilization scheme.

FIRST CLASS GERMAN
Four Years Social Climax Is Exclu-
sively a Glass Affair.

Exclusiveness marked the first class
german held last night in Memorial
Hall. 1t is the social climax of the
four years of a midshipman's life and
is strictly class affair.
The dance last night could scarcely
be called a german. There was grand
march and one figure, under swords,
and the rest of the evening was the
tango, turkey trot, fox trot, maxixie,,
hesitation and and other popular up
to-date dances.
The grand march was led by Miss
Fullam and Midshipman Adams. The
hall was simply decorated. a few
palms here and there.
Seats were provided for about 100
people at either end of the hall. About
35 Annapolitans were among the spec
tators.
The one favor was a bangle b b-acelet
made by Tiffany. Among the pretty
effects was-dropping bubbles of all
coiors from the skylight, while the
band played Bubbles" The bubbles
were caught by different partners and
exploded.
Another, was a dance with japanese
parasols while the band played Toxic,
The moonlight dance was very effec-
tive, the hall being lighted with an
electrical moon. Toy whistles, and
horns were given and helped to make
fun.

DANIELS is PROBING
"GOUGING" SCANDAL.
Naval Secretary Deeply Interested in
Matter Involving Several Mid
shipmen- Situation Looks

MdtleT InVOtVlng DeVeTai Nliu-
shipmen- Situation Looks
Serious.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
taken a personal interest in the mat
ter of the use of unfair means to pass
examinations at the Naval Academy,
and he consulted with Superintendent
Fullam, members of the board of visi-
tors and at least on parent of a mid
shipmen suspected of being one of
those who secured examination ques-
tions in advance during the recent final
examinations. 1t is also known that
Secretary Daniels will go further into
the matter and that the developments
may be decidedly serious.
One of the incidents in connection
with the matter was a visit of U. S.
Senator John Walter Smith, of Mary
land. and it is known that il is in con-
nection with the case of a midshipmen
fom his state.
Senator Smith is a member of the
Committee on Naval Affairs. Be-
sides Senator Smith, Senator Boise
Penrose. of Pennsylvania, and Repre-
sentative Talbot, of Maryland, are the
congressman who are showing decided
interest in the matter. Another de-
velopment was a visit of the presidents
of the three upper classes to Superin-
tendent Fullam. They are Richard r.
Adams, of the graduating class; Ben
jamin r. Holcomb, of the second class,
and Clarence o. Ward, of the third
class. 1t is not known whether they
were invited by the superintendent or
requested the interview, but it is un-
derstood that the matter was thorough.
ly discussed, and the midshipmen took
the ground that they interests of the
midshipmen were not properly pro-
tected during the investigation by the
board of officers. This is also the con
tention of at least one parent of a
youth who is mentioned in the matter.
Extreme interest is being manifested
in the case, and there are rumors that
a far-resching system of getting ad-
vance information on examinations
may be uncovered.

Camels and Elephants Steeds With

But few Americans have enjoyed a

when Gentry Brothers Famous Shows
arrive in this city Saturday, June u,
the younger element will be given a
chance to ride either upon the ship of

jungle.
In Gentry Brothers zoo are camels
an elephants trained especially to
carry chill lren around the hippodrome
track in the big menagerie tent.
The sport is one that children very
much enjoy. The rides are something
entirely new to their little sphere of
life, and, it is needless to say that the
youngsters scramble for a chance to
ride the queer creatures of other
worlds.

NEW PAYSTREAK IS LOCATED IN
 THE TOL0VANA
MINERS OF UPPER LIVENGOOD CONFIDENT OF HAVING
 REGULAR PAY.

That the miners of upper Liven- good are confident that they have run across a regular run of pay in that section of the country, is Toloyana expressman, who arrived at Olnes yesterday afternoon. Pay has been located in at least three places and, although it has not been lined up as yet, owing to the fact that it has not been thoroughly prospected, the prospectors there feel very much encouraged by the show ing made
 The latest to report pay or rather Rosburg. are Harry Stubbs and Andy Nyland They are operating on the Lougherty bench opposite No. 10 above They are, however, on the second tier of benches where the pay heretofore uncovered has been for the most part, on the third tier {" forty feet in depth. Three feet from bedrock 1t started to show values, with the result that when the prospectors reached the bottom of their shaft, they discovered that they had three feet of four cent dirt. They figure on continuing their prospecting in the hopes of To- eating even better ground.
 Mrs Rosburg also reports ,naG Sam Godfrey and A. K. Thompson have found pay on the Sunny bench claim, on the third tier bench oppo- site number above on Livengood. The last seven feet of gravel in their shaft carries pay which is estimated to go about $150 to the square foot of bedrock
 J. D. Dubuque is the owner of the ground on which Stubbs X Ny land are prospecting.
