the giant battle cruiser Tiger and the

not only is larger than any dreadnought
in the United States navy, but has a
speed of 2s knots an hour. The, Germans
declare they sank her off the Dogger
bank on Jan. "a, 1915. This report is
said to have been taken to Germany by
Zeppelin that lowered 10000 feet above
the sea, bombarding British sailors while
they were rescuing survivors OF the Ger
man battle cruiser Bluecher. The Zeppe-
lin crew is said to have mistaken the
sinking Bluechcr for the Tiger.

.CRIP--IT'S DANGEROUS

No one with perfectly healthy
mucous membrane can contract
la grippe. The use of PERUNA
makes diseased mucous men,
brane healthy. This not only
rids the patient of catarrh but
fortifies the system against the
reverses of all climates, epidem-
les and all contagious diseases.
La grippe is not very fatal
disease, although many die Of it
during the course of an epidemic.
The chief danger that is to be
feared is the low and weakened
state it produces, giving a chance
for other diseases to set in and
finish the work.
Pneumonia, catarrh of the
chest and congestion of the
brain, acute rheumatism, typhoid
fever and typhoid malaria are all
frequent followers of la grippe.
In order to protect yourselves against
such diseases. do not fail TO secure II
bottle of PERUNA and egt the mucous
membranes of your body in healthy
condition to avoid such epidemics as la
grippe.

DROPS 81
MIDSHIPMEN
Secretary Daniels Approves
the Decree-Officers
Are Needed
BUT NOT AT THE
LOWER STANDARD
M ore Appointments Are
Made Possible by
Congress

Washington, d. c., Feb. r. Secretary
Daniels yesterday approved the recon-
mendations of the academic board at the
naval academy dismissing So midshipmen
for failure in their studies.
| Their names may be made public later
OF those dismissed three are of the first
class, 10 of the second, 20 of the third,
and 40 of the fourth class. In announc.
ing his decision, Secretary Daniels said
that while the navy needed more officers,
only those who could meet the high
standards and quality by examination
could be retained.
'To meet this need" he said, "the SD
Congress, upon the recommendation of
the navy department, continued the law
which had expired by limitation provid-
ing for the appointment of two midship-
men by each member of Congress, and
the Gath Congress, as the first act in
larger preparedness has passed the bill
giving three appointments to each sena-
tor and representative. This makes pos
sible an increase of So midshpmen for
the coming year"
The secretary expressed regret that
the 81 students had been found ''unsat
isfaetory in such degree as does not
justify the hope of their graduation and
training as officers in the navy"
Mr.. Daniels said that he did not think
any midshipman should be allowed to-
graduate unless he could make 62.2 per
cent, the standard average, in his stud
les, and for that reason he had refused
to lower the passing marks.
1--WE want more officers, but not at the
expense OF the high standard long main
tanned" he said
"The need of officers for the naval
service" he added, will not be met by
lowering the standard for graduation
New developments call for varied ability |
and initiative, and no man should be com |
missioned who does not meet the require.
ments of the modern naval academy"
