SHORT VACATION PUT
DEWEY IN j. S. navy
Father Against West Point Because it
Allowed Too Much Time at
Home. Says His Cousin.

Chicago. Oct 3.-Ever hear how 1t came
that George Dewey, admiral Of the Uni.
ted States navy. and hero Of the battle
of Manila. happened to go to Annapolis
It's a funny story. as told by his third
cousin, Col. Elias Dewey. of Chicago.
1.-The fact that the West Point cadets
got eight weeks vacation in four years
while the 'middies'' received but one
, week in that length of time was the rea-
son the future admiral was sent into the
naval branch of the SERVICE" says Col
Dewey.
George lived at Montpelier. VT. in the
middle of the last century. and my home
was at Malone. n. Y. Our fathers were
second cousins. and both of us youngsters
received appointments to West Point at
the same time. My father wouldn't let
me go because there were many Indian
wars then and he was afraid would get
scalped George himself told me, in later
years, why his father wouldn't allow him
to enter the army and picked the navy.
1t happened that George was some lad in
those days and had a good time gen.
orally
His father after diligent inquiry. found
that the West Point boys had two
months vacation in four years. while the
'middies' had to be satisfied with single
week. This meant that Dewey. ST.. would
have had George around home long
time if he went to West Point. He
thought he could get along with one
week; that he could manage it somehow.
So he sent him to Annapolis. I went to
N1iddlebury College in Vermont, but en-
tered the army during the civil war and
was mustered out as lieutenant colonel of
the Fourteenth Missouri Cavalry"

LAW COVERING ALIEN
PROPAGANDA IS URGED
Congress Will Be Asked to Provide
Punishment for Offenders Against
Neutrality.

| Congress at its next session will be
asked to enact drastic legislation that
will provide for the punishment of Of
Tenders against the neutrality Of the Uni
ted States. Many acts have been COM
mitted by foreigners and American citi-
| zens since the outbreak of the European
war that are not prohibited by the
statutes. but which have embarrassed the
administration and caused trouble for the
State Department. These acts. it is said
by officials. will be criminal offenses
after the next session of Congress.
Officials of the Department OF Justice
for months have been investigating
charges alleging the commission of acts
detrimental either to some private inter-
est. some government plant, or to peace
and good order. and have discovered with
amazement that there Is absolutely no
statute under which offenses complained
of can be prosecuted. AS these matters
have been Investigated. a digest in each
instance has been prepared for the de-
partment's legal experts. From this
digest the experts will prepare a series
of amendments for submission to Attor-
ney General Gregory. who in turn will
submit them to the President for recon-
mendation to Congress.

Champagne Battle Most Fearful Yet
Fought on Western Front. Descrip-
ton Of Newspaper Men.

Berlin (by wireless via Sayville. n. ".
Oct. 3-"The largest and most fearful
battle yet fought on the western front.
Is the description of the fighting in the
Champagne region by a party Of neutral
war correspondents. who were invited to
the firing line by the German general
stan.
The most violent fighting centered
north of Massiges, where the French
greatly outnumbered the Germans.
According to the correspondents. who
secured their information from soldiers
who actually took part in the battle. the
French losses were enormous. One de-
scribed them as most terrific;'' another
as "unheard Of"
. Part of the trenches were inspected dur
ing a lull in the fighting and French
prisoners were also interviewed.
1t is declared by the correspondents
that. despite the artillery preparations
that extended over several days and the
violence Of the French assaults. the at
tacking forces failed to attain their OBJ
ject.
Gen. Joffre had evidently planned to cut
OF the German army in Champagne. but
i'm this he was unsuccessful. The corre-
spondents. who are from South America.
Roumania and Holland. have left Cham
payne for other parts Of the front.
