SIX M|DSH|PMEN
ARE DISMISSED
Four Suspended for One Year
and Fifteen Turned Back to
Lower Class for Hazing.

Secretary Daniels today announced
that the following action had been
taken as result of the recent hazing
investigation at the Annapolis Naval
Academy:
Observation-Disclosures first class,
Robert La Motto: midshipman, second
class. David Click; midshipmen, third
class. Alexander r. Boiling. Charles b.
Tuley, Edward H. Hill and Dwight c.
Cook.
Suspended for one year, without pay
-Midshipmen. third class. w. C. Will
cock. Joseph S. Ives. Paul D. Dingwell
and David P. Minard
Turned back to next lower class-Mid-
shipmen, first class, Francis w. Benson
and Joseph W. Gregory: midshipmen.
second class. Thomas G. Fisher, Arthur
b. Craig, Joseph J. Clark, Albert L. Hut
son, Paul l.. Meadows, Martin j. Con-
molly and Charles K. Post midshipmen,
third class, Frederick A Westphai, How
ard G. Gamble, Morton T. Selgman, Will
liam NJ. Killian. John A. ,Whitson and
Logan c. Ramsey.
1t was explained that ten midship-
men were recommended for dismissal
for having been convicted of more than
one offense of hazing, but that the Of
feuses were not SO aggravated in the
cases of the four midshipmen who are
to be suspended for one year without
pay. The midshipmen who are turned
back to the next lower class were found
guilty of only one case of hazing. These
midShipmen VIII continue their studies
at the Naval Academy, while the four
who are suspended for one year will be
required to spend that time away from
the academy.
This action said Secretary Daniels,
i'll making public the action of the de-
partment. "is taken with determination
that hazing of all kinds is to be. ended
at the Naval Academy. There Is no
room at the academy for any man who
cannot obey the law of the United
States Congress. 1t has been estimated
for the navy. In the navy the first
duty is to obey orders. If. at the acad-
emy, man cannot obey the orders of
the superintendent and an act of Con-
gress. he demonstrates that he lacks
the first and essential quality required
of a naval officer.
These midshipmen are not punished
as a deterrent to the others, but for
their own sins. But all others at the
academy viii take notice that hazing
has ended. If. there is any midshipman
at the academy who is resolved to vio-
separate himself from the service. II
any one supposes that violation of the
law will. be condoned, he will find
that dismissal is sure to follow"
Thomas G. Fisher of the second class
was born at Rosecroft. Nd. and was
appointed to the United States Naval
Academy April 80, 1913. by Representa-
tive Thomas Parran Of the fifth Mary
land district. His mother lives in Con-
gress Heights.
Logan C. Ramsey of the third class
was born in the District of Columbia
2543 18th street northwest. He was,
appointed to the Naval Academy from
Mississippi by Senator John Sharp

British Have Million Men on Fight

Have 500, 900 More.
TEUTONS REPORT GAINS
Berlin Declares English Have Been
Halted and Reports the
Failure of All French
Attacks.

LONDON, October 1.-The
French are bearing the brunt OF
the fighting now in progress on
the western front. They are ham
mering at the second German
line in Champagne, in the direc-
ton of the Grand Pre- railway,
and at the same time dropping
bombs on the line and stations to
prevent the Germans from bring
ing up reinforcements.
The British have ceased their
attacks and the Germans have
made further progress north of
Loos, the Berlin war Office an
nounced today. All French at
tacks east of Souchez, north of
Neuville and in Champagne have
failed, the Germans claim.
The British forces now in
France are estimated at round
million men, which will be in
creased by 100000. Daily length
ening Of the obituary columns Of
the London newspapers is begin
ming to measure the price paid
by the British for their recent Of
fensive.
In the great battle in the Artois
district the French have made
further progress, according to
Paris, by means of attacks
with hand grenades on German
trenches. Announcement to this
effect was made today by the war
Office.
In the Champagne a German
counter attack near Maisons de
Champagne is reported to have
been checked
The Germans violently bonn
barded French trenches near
Soupir, north OF the Aisne, but
made no infantry attack.
Many Guns Captured.
A further gain of ground to the north
of Mesnil is recorded by the French,
who add that on the Champagne front
alone since September 25 field guns
and heavy pieces to the number of 12l
have been captured by the French.
The Frenc.. admit that by counter
attack the Germans succeeded in re-
gaining d footing in the works known
as the 'ouvragc de la defaite," por-
ton Of which the French had taken.
French Losses Relatively Light.
The French losses i'll the recent Of
fensive, SO costly te the Germans, were
relatively very light, according to
statements made by persons in a posi-
ton to know. The soldiers explain this
by the speed with which the charges
were carried out.
III speed, they say, lies not only sue
cess tor the attack, but safety for those
who attack. Most of the wounded were
struck either by bullets or spinters
from high explosive shells.
May Relieve Russians.
1t is believed here that besides the
gain of ground in both Artois and
Champagne and the improved position
of the allies generally, the recent sue
cessful operations must soon relieve
the pressure on Russia and perhaps
prevent the Austro-Germans from send
ing any large force against Serbia.
Already large reinforcements for the
Germans are arriving on the western
front and their presence has already
had the effect of slackening some what
the allies offensive. But there Is pos
sibility of the offensive breaking out
on some other section of this front. In
fact, the correspondent of the Koel-
nische Zeitung. at German headquar-
ters, announces that an attack was
made east of Auberville. which he says
was repulsed.

at Last National
Convention.

Elias R. Monfort of Cincinnati
Ohio, was unanimously elected
commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic after an
hour OF balloting behind closed
doors in convention at Camp
Emery this afternoon.
Balloting began at 1 o'clock,
and after the first skirmish it be-
came apparent that the three
lead,rs were Elias r. Monfort,
Frank o. Cole of Jersey City,
n. j., and William ]. Patterson of
Pittsburgh. In an effort to throw
all possible strength to Cole, dele
gates from New Jersey withdrew
Atlantic City, N. J., as a candi-
date for the next place of encamp-
ment, believing that it would be
impossible to get the city and the
commander in chief from the
same state.
Single Vote Finally Cast.
Monfort and Cole ballots grew
stronger and stronger as the voting
continued. However, sudden spurt-
of strength in the Monfort camp gave
him the lead. and Frank o. Cole. one
of his opponents. arose and moved that
the election be unanimous for Mon
fort. The convention broke into cheers
and Adjt. Gen. Newman was instructed
to cast single vote for the Ohio man,
thus indicating the entire voice of the
convention.
The strength of each candidate on the
first ballot was: Monfort, SIS: Patter.
son. PSI. and Cole. 1873.
George H. Slaybaugh of the District
Of Columbia, an employe Of the Treas
ury Department. was elected senior
vice commander-in-ch chief.
After the committee on resolutions
had disposed of mass of matter by
the simple expedient of postponing
consideration indefinitely - thus avoid
ing the time-honored but exasperattng
procedure of laying the resolutions ON
the table-the encampment voted to
proceed at once with the election of OF.

Precedence Is Not Decided.
Among the resolutions indefinitely
postponed was one providing for the
of money for the erec-
tion of statue of Gen. Mcpherson. to
be located on private ground, and an
other designed to establish precedence
as between the United Spanish War
Veterans and the Sons of Veterans.
This question provoked n long and
acrimonious debate, partici-
pated in by many OF the delegates.
some of whom thought the Sons Of
Veterans should have precedence over
the L. S. W. V. in Grand Army parades,

NAVY YARD EMPLOYEES
MAY GET PAY RAISED
Report of Wage Board Is Said to
Contain Recommendations
for Inerease.

The Secretary of the Navy today re-
ceived the report of the wage board at
the Washington navy yard specially de-
tailed to inquire into the rates OF
wages paid at the big steel plants at
Bethlehem and Midvale. Pa with a
view to making wages at the Washing
ton navy yard correspond.
The Secretary declined to make pub
lie the results of the investigation. but
it is currently reported that the board
found that wages at the private plants
averaged higher for skilled mechanics
than is now paid at the Washington
ward. and that the board had recon-
mended an increase of 2f cents a day
in the nav of maciIinists of the first and
second classes.
That statement could not be verified
at the Navy Department.
Conference With Secretary Daniels.
A committee of machinists from the
yard, headed by Mr.. Alias. waited on
Secretary Daniels this morning with q
view to ascertaining what action would
be taken by the department, and was
informed that the Secretary had not
vet had time to consider the report.
At a request of the committee he
agreed to confer with them Monday
afternoon at o'clock before taking
final action in the matter of the re-
vision of the wage scale at the local
yard.
Commander Willard is chairman of
the wage board, and there seems no
doubt that the board has found that
an increase in wages at the yard is
fully justified by labor conditions
growing out of the European war.
