SENATE PASSES BILL
FOR MORE ARMY CADETS
Number Of West Pointers Increased
by Almost 100 Per Cent-Two
Opposing Votes.

The Senate yesterday passed bill
increasing the number of cadets at
West Point by almost 100 per cent, a
measure considered most important by
supporters of national defense. since
it provides for the training of more
officers, and the war in Europe has
demonstrated the great need of large
numbers of trained officers.
The bill was passed by vote of SO
to 2. The two senators opposing it
were Vardaman of Mississippi and Nor
ris of Nebraska, both of whom are
strongly opposed to increasing the size
of the regular army materially.
Before the bill was passed. an amend
ment was adopted authorizing the
President to make 200 appointments
annually to West Point from the ranks
of the regular army and the National
Guard. 1t is believed that such pro-
vision will encourage the enlistment
of young men in both the regular army
and the National Guard.
AS finally amended, it provides for
the appointment of not more than zoe
enlisted men by the President. two
cadets by each congressman. two from
each territory, four from the District
of Columbia. two from natives OF Porto
Rico, four from each state at large
and sixty from the United States at
large.
The authorized attendance at West
Point now is ITO, although there are
but $40 cadets at present Under the
terms of the new bill. the authorized
attendance would be 1882.

Sees No Need of Increase.

This is not to say that We should
not maintain our army and navy on a
reasonable and efficient peace footing
There is no present necessity for amy
considerable increase Of our standing
army. If any What we need first OF all
IS TO make the army more efficient. and
the position of a private soldier more
respectable and respected. This can
best be done by enlisting worthy young
men and not criminals and derelicts. as
is very generally done now. paying
them decent wages and treating them
as respectable American citizens should
he treated in every walk of life. We
do not pay our soldiers enough and
they are treated more like serfs or
slaves than citizens of "a free republic

10 be free and equal. our army needs
to be reJuVenated regenerated and
placed on respectable footing
I am not proposing now to deal with
the Mexican situation. 1t is q thing
apart from the problems growing out
of the war in Europe that are confront
ing US as a nation Our relations with
that unhappy country, and the obliga =
tions resting upon this nation, growing
out OF them. are SO entirely different
from those flowing from war condi-
tons in Europe that what ! might say
about one Of them could have but little
bearing on the other. That our soldiers
now on Mexican soil engaged in the
perilous endeavor TO protect the lives
and property Of American citizens in
Mexico and bring to justice the mur-
derers and aSSaSSinS Of our people WHO
perished at their hands should be pro
tected and reinforced by other soldiers

Costs U. S. Thousands of Dollars.

Such transactions have cost the
government many thousands of dollars
for printing and carrying free in the
mails tons of publications intended to
further the special interest of certain
individuals or organizations.
1.-The committee is of the opinion that
the furnishing of franked envelopes
for such purposes should be declared
unlawful in no uncertain terms, and
that "A proper penalty be attached for
violations of the same. 1t is believed
that a vigorous enforcement of the pro-
posed section will result in large
saving to the government and at the

senator Works asserted that big
business and the wealth of the nation
is the real influence behind the demand
made for increased preparedness in
this country. He attacked in vigorous
terms the manner in which the nu-
nitions factories OF the United states
have been furnishing arms and ammu-
milton TO the belliSereuts abroad.
He said. in part:

Dr. Woodward declared that apart

housing ideals. are not much better
than tenements, since both get away
from the single family idea and both
have large possibilities for poor health.

worse than in some others.

Sees Gross Injustice.

The discussion was opened by DR..
Kober, and later in the discussion he
touched on the story of the Arlington
grave e-digger as it appeared in The
Star yesterday.
Il want to point out the gross injus-
tice of government employees getting
less than $50 month" said DR.. Kober.
The government certainly ought to be
a model employer and establish d
standard for others to follow"
The speaker expressed the belief that
the human will, after all, prevail in
this matter. He said that there are
more than 1000 employees of the gov
ernment in the District getting not
more than $500 a year salary.
What these people accomplish on
these wages is marvellous" said DR..
kober.
Mr.. Ihlder attributed the fall of Rome
not so much to the heather invaders as
to the fact that family life in Rome
had been done away with. He pointed
out that the modern apartment house
is tending to do away with family life
in America.

TRAGEDY RESULT
OF LOVE AFFAIR
coRoNER'S JURY FIND YOUNG
ALABAMA WOMAN KILLED
HERSELF IN ATLANTA.

ATLANTA, May ia coroner's
jury yesterday afternoon returned
verdict of suicide in the case of Miss
Eleanor Van Yalkenburgh, who shot
herself to death Sunday night at a
local hotel The Tragedy according to
the police was the outgrowth of a love
affair. The body was carried to the
Huntsville, Ala, home of the girl yes
erday morning by her brother.
The coroner's jury before rendering
its verdict held an executive session
to determine whether the last letters
of the girl should se opened. They
were found on a table in Miss Van
Valkenburgh's room and were marked
personal II was decided not to
open the letters after nearing from
an Atlanta lawyer, acting as a friend
of the family, who appealed to the
jury not to open them.
The letters were addressed to an
Atlanta travelling man whom, it is
stated, the girl was to have met here
Sunday. The fact that he did not keep
, his appointment is believed to have
caused the girl to take her life.
A pathetic feature in connection
with the tragedy is that the girl, short
ly before she took her life, went to
Whitehall street department store,
where her family has an account, aud
carefully selected four expensive
mourning gowns with the necessary
black trimmings. These she ordered
expressed to her mother in order that
the latter might make choice of the
garments
Prior to her death the girl talked to
friends of her unrequitted love.

by students: that too frequent dan
ces, the purchase of expensive flow
ers for goods and similar luxuries
will be banned.
DR.. Wilbur is so convinced he is
right about this that he has sent
circular letter to students parents
saying students with too much money
are not desired at the school, if they
are inclined to spend their time In
the pursuit of pleasure.
The letter urges parents to refrain
from too liberal allowances and
warns them that as the member OF
entrants this year is limited, those
students who fail to show they are
doing honest work will not be per-
mitted TO remain.
Stanford does not particularly
seek poor boys and discourage the
entrance of the wealthy, DR.. Wilbur
explains, but experience has shown
that the poor boy has, on the whole
made a better record, both as stu
dent and afterwards. His appeal,
DR.. Wilbur says, is an endeavor to
save the wealthy lad from his own
particular dangers.
1T takes time to run an automo-
bile and it often leads to life off the
campus, to extravaganza and much
foolishness," says the letter, adding;
There is plenty to do in the way
of variety right at the university,
with its swimming pools. athletic
fields. gymuasiuns. beautiful walks
and the like. There is no need to
go to San Francisco more than once
on twice a semester and this trip
can be conveniently and cheaply
made by train. There is no need to
supply money for orchids, for dance
parties or for taxi hire.
THE student who cannot be con-
tent to lead the clean, simple. in

ford campus should SO elsewhere. If
