OAKEY ID APPOINT
 WEST POINT CADET
Civil Service Examinations at r Hartford on June 1
Especial to the Herald.)

Washington, June 15.-Despite the agitation for preparedness in ahe United States, the war department au- thorities are having difficulty in filling up the ranks of the cadet corps at the West Point military academy. A considerable number of appOintees ;. and cadets have failed to pass the re- Quired examinations, it is stated, which results in many vacancies in the corps. Some members of congress, it is un- derstood have not ben able to appoint Eligible young men for the academy under the new law which provided for doubling the size of the cadet corps within four years.
 So urgent does the war departme consider the situation that it has adopted extraordinary means to fill up the ranks of the corps. It has asked every one of some 220 or 225 senators and members of the house of reDrcsen- tatfves who have cadets appointed by them now at the academy and due to graduate in 1917 and 1918 to dasig- nate another body who may desire to enter the academy and who is eligible
 The eligibility requirements have been lowered by the war department to a great extent for this occasion. h. stead of putting the designated boys through a grilling mental examination before permitting them to enter inc academy, the department has decided to enter boys who arc designated by "the congressman and senators referret to, and who can present a certificate from a university, college technical

school, high school or preparatory school recognized by the military au- thOrities; and who passes a physical examination to be given June 27. Boys who comply with these requirements and who receive the designation of their senator or representative will be admitted to the academy July 10, mental examination being waived.
 Only one man is to be appointed by each senator or member selected, lO alternate being designated. The pily- sical examination for these new cadet appointees in the east is to be taken at Fort Banks Mass, or Fort Slocum, N Y.
 Rep. Davis Oakley of Connecticut was lucky to get the privileges cf making one of these appointments.

 He will make his appointment, ac- cOrding to his usual custom, by cont petitive examination, which will DC held in Hartford under the auspices of the United States civil service corl- mission on June 21. This examination will be open to all bona fde residents of the first congressional district of Connecticut between the ages of sev- enteen and twenty-five years of age, who can present a properly attestcd certificate that: 1. The candidate is a regularly en- rolled student in good standing with out condition in a university, college or technical school accredited by the United States Military Academy, pro- vided that the entrance requirements of the course he is pursuing require proficiency in subjects amounting to not less than fourteen units on the l list:

Among the recent additions to the collection are several various types of bull frogs caught in local ponds, exhibited in large glass taank with other inl .pitants of swanps in the city, such Is turtles, snakes, etc. The frogs are the possessors of healthy appetites, beng able to swal- low large toads to appease said appe- tites.
