DROPPING OF. EIGHTY-TWO.
MIDDIES is RECOMMENDED
Secretary Daniels Inclined to Sus.
tain Report Of Board, Based on
Deficiency in Studies.

Secretary Daniels today received from
| the academic board at the Annapolis
Naval Academy a report recommending
| that eighty-two midshipmen at the
academy be dropped from the rolls De-
cause of deficiencies in studies. Inc
Secretary said he had not finally con
sidered the report. but indicated that
he was inclined to sustain the report oi
the board. He remarked that tine eA-
aminaticns as now conducted AT ehe
academy were no more severe thah LOT
many years past, and he did not con
slider the requirement of =" per cent
out of possible per cent as eA-
cessive.
1t was shown that the requirenen.
had been lowered to 2.3 per cent o!
former Secretary Meyer in the cases OF
several midshipmen, and that the hedu
of the Navy Department had discretioi'
in the final action on such cases Al ,

of those reported deficient, Secretar!
Daniels expressed the opinion that the
existing requirement of 2.5 per cent IN

pared with the standard of other edu-
cational institutions.

EDITOR SAYS GERMANY
GRIPS FOES BY THROAT
Macmillan Harden Asserts Delu'
sions Are Responsible for
Continuing War.

BERLIN, February {. by wireless to
Sayville.-Maximiiia Harden GATOR OF
Die Zukunft, whose utterances' says
the Overseas News Agency. frequently
have been mistaken in countries at war
with Germany for anti-German propa-
panda. Yesterday delivered before q
large audience speech about the war
The news agency quotes Herr Harden
as saving that the continuation OF inc
war was caused by three dclusions
held bv Germunys enemies. the frst
delusion. the speaker said. was that
Germany for years had prepared Tor
war and that the entente powers 'here-
fore, had only to wait until TINS haho' /
cap was overcome. AS matter OF
fact. he said. the Germans won VIC
tories because they were able to adapt
themselves to the changed circam-
stances.
Holds Enemies by Throat.
The second -delusion of the e.
powers. Herr Harden said, was that
Germany approached exhaustion ana
in this connection he declared:
cit is the most reckless crime of our
enemies to dare to say that Germany
who holds them by the throat, is near
ing her own humiliation.
The third delusion, Herr Harden
said. was contained in the stores
alleging German barbarism, which the
speaker asserted. were refuted by all
that had happened OH the. German
fronts. Continuing. the speaker said:
THE statesmen of the entente coun-
tries want to postpone the day OF reck
oning. 1t would be much better II
truth could pierce the walls erected
by these governments, and reach the
souls of the nations.
Last Hope of Entente Allies.
THE last hope that our enemies pos
sibly can have is to destroy Europe
in order to :lnnihilate Germany. If our
enemies tr. to do that; if Germany I'M
derstand that their enemies are bent
on Germany's destruction. no matter
at what cost. then the war will only
begin for the Germans
In conclusion Herr Harden said:
I'm spite of personal bravery. in spite
of wealth of instruction and in spite OF
the glory of worn-out garments OF
former achievements, our enemies lack
the courage to look into the face OF
truth and fate"

Will See Judge Lands.

According to the report, Bresnahan Is
ready to show Judge Lands where the
men of organized base ball today. Charles
Weeghman and his associates. who have
purchased the Cubs, are about to act in
the same manner as the Federals accused
organized ball Of acting a year ago. At
that time Weeghnan and his associates
we're in the Federal League. which brought
charges against organized ball of con-
spiracy and failure to observe con-
tractural rights.
According to Bresnahan, these same
parties. now that they have been taken
into organized ball. are attempting the
same methods themselves. Several
times since peace has been declared
Bresnahan has remarked that he does
not see how the new Cub owners can
disregard his contract, which is iron
of the club. Weeghman is not attempt
| ing to get out Of paying Bresnahan the
| full amount Of his contract. but has
refused to accept him as manager.
The contract has two more years to
run, and is said to call for $4,000 a
year.
Bresnahan had two or three confer
ences with Weeghman early last week,
and it was thought Weeghman was
trying to satisfy him by placing him
| as manager of some other ma jor
league club. However. it seems such a
| thing is impossible, and about the same
| time that President johnson of the
American League announced that there
was no chance for Roger to manage
/ the Cleveland club Roger disappear
ed. 1t was supposed he had gone to his
home in Toledo. but no reports Of his
actions have been available.
| The attorney whom Roger consulted
asked that his name should not be used
in connection with the case at the present
time. He declared he did not know
whether Bresnahan would appear before
Judge Lands or not. He stated no definite
plan Of action had been adopted. but that
/. expected to hear from Bresnahan in
person almost any time.

Special DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, Ill, February 1.--Eoger
Bresnahan, deposed manager of the
Cubs. is on the warpath, accord
ing to report circulated Satur-
day night by men who stand close
to him in Chicago. 1t may be that
his declaration of war will take place
officially Monday morning in Federal
Judge Landis' courtroom, for the ru-
NOR is that Roger intends to appear
before his honor and tell few things
which are going on in base ball
things which the judge may not other
wise hear.
Before Bresnahan left Chicago last
week he consulted with prominent
attorney here regarding his case in
base ball. When he left the attor-
ney's office it was with the words that
he would return in a few days for fur
Their advice.
One report was that Roger had gone
to Baltimore to have a personal talk
with the owners of the Baltimore Fed
terms of peace recently entered into
between the Federal League and Or
ganiZed ball.
Last Friday attorneys for the two fac
tions appeared before Judge Lands
and asked that the case between the Feds
and organized base ball: heard over a
year ago be withdrawn from the courts.
When Lands learned that the Baltimore
club owners were dissatisfied with the
peace agreement he ordered the attorneys
to wire the Baltimore owners to be in
court Monday morning to be heard.
