ground. Small areas may be worked
with spade, pushing the blade in to

break up the clods. Heavy soils should
never be worked when wet. Oyerzeal-

Who Is Familiar With
Military Situation
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Feb. 11.-President
Wilson left tonight with Mrs. Wilson
on the yacht Mayhower for a week
end cruise of the Potomac and Ches-
apeake during which he will consider
the selection of a successor to Carl
son. The presidents advisers said he
wished TO name man familiar with
the military situation quickly and
probably be ready to send the noni-
nation to the senate early next week.
A successor to Breckenridge likely
will not be appointed until the new
secretary is consulted.
Secretary of the Interior Lane, Sec
rotary of Agriculture Houston and
Frank L. Polk, counsellor of the state

MIDDIES out
THE
NEEDS0 Of NAVY
Recommendation of Acade-
mic Board, Disrnissing
80 Is Approved
q Assoc1ATEp PRESS.

washington, Feb. 11.-Secretary
Daniels today approved the recon-
mendations of the academic board at
the naval academy dismissing 50 mid
shipmen for failure in their studies.
Their names may be made public
later. Three are of the first class,
nineteen of the second, twenty of the
third and forty of the fourth class.
Secretary Daniels said that although
the navy needed more officers, only
those who could meet the high stan
dards and qualify by examination
could be retained. ''To meet this
need" he said, the Sixty-third con-
gress upon the recommendation of
the navy department continued the
law which had expired by lSnitation
providing for the appointment of two
midshipmen by each member of con-
gress, and the Sixty-fourth congress,
as the first act in larger prepared
ness, has passed the bill giving three
appointments to each senator and
representative. This makes possible
an increase Of 531 midshipmen for
the coming year"
The secretary expressed regrets
that the 80 students had been found
unsatisfactory in such a 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 nidshipman should be al
lowed to graduate unless he could
make 81 IL per cent the standard
average, in his studies and for that
reason he had refused to lower the
passing marks.
ave want more officers, but not at
the expense Of the high standard long
maintained" he said. ''The need of
officers for the naval service, he adj
ded, will not be met by lowering the
standard for graduation. New devel-
opments call for varied ability and
initiative and no man should be COM
missioned who does not meet the re-
quirements of the modern naval acad-
envy"

ing of Bonds Resulted
pY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Feb. ia closening of
the bonds between Italy and the other
allies is considered as certain to re-
suit from the mission of Premier
Brand of France to Italy, according
to the general tenor of the comment
in the morning newspapers.
Among the immediate results ex-
pected viii be close military CO.
operation in the Balkans. Italy, it is
said, viii send troops TO Salonii,
with the object of showing that there
no longer exists any difference of pol
icy among the allies on account of
special national questions and that all
such questions viii equally interest
the allies all Of whom will cooperate
for their common solution. Another
result which the newspapers say is to
come viii be the establishment of a
diplomatic council of the governments
of the allies, with seat in Paris on
the lines Of the military council. This
diplomatic council is to be composed
of all the ambassadors of the allies
in Paris with Premier BRAND as
president.

Santa Rosa county, which recently

Regarding a recent meeting Of the
Santa Rosa association the Milton
Gazette says:
cat a meeting Of citizens and in
terested persons generally which was
called by the Santa Rosa Good Roads
Club at the court house Monday night
considerable interest was manifested
in the proposition to bridge the Es-
Gambia river at Floridatown and Fer
ry Pass.
"A new district for the floating OF
a bond issue had been previously
agreed upon and a petition had been
arranged and signed by a sufficient
number Of voters within the propos-
ed district to secure the calling 81 a
bond election for the bridge. But &c
Monday nights meeting It was de-
cided to enlarge the district some
what, which viii make it necessary
for old signers Of the petition 10 re-
sign along with several others who
will be included IN the new lines. The
resigning Of the old signatures will
only be necessary as a prccaution ia
order that no hitch whatever may oc-
cur in the sale and disposition of the
bonds when they are issued.
The matter Of calling the election
and voting the bonds is believed to
be favored by a large majority of
the voters in the proposed district. as
it will mean much for the advance
ment of that entire section TO be
included in the proposed bond issue.
From all appearances the bonds
will be voted and the bridge erected
to connect Santa Rosa and F.scambia
counties within a reasonably short
time"

Somewhere In the North Sea, via
London, Feb. 11.-Great Britain's
first line offensive fleet, an incon-
parable combination Of speed and gun
powder ready for instant action, was
inspected yesterday by a party of
French and American correspondents,
and a representative of the Associ-
ated Press viewed from the bridge of
a torpedo boat the naval unit which
Is expected to meet the first shock
Of a German attack.
In the feet We're virtually all the
veteran fighting craft which have
been in action in this war, but they
showed few scars with the exception
of an occasional dent in their armor.
The pride of place was held by battle
cruisers which in engagements from
he Falkland Isles to the DardaneIles
nave borne the brunt of the sea fight
ing. Unpopular with officers and men
before the war because thew. were
constantly coaling, these huge fight
ing machines hold the premier posi-
ton in the British navy.
Inc correspondents le1L the naval
base under sunny sky, but on reach
ing the outlying patrol of torpedo
boats, found the water covered with
a light haze. There was no sea run
ming, however, and the haze was not
thick enough to prevent the newspa-
per men seeing that part Of the fleet
which could be safely brought to-
gether, even to a patrol squadron
which had rejoined the unit few
hours before the review began.
As the launch with the visitors on
board turned toward the line of bat
tie cruisers against the horizon, they
could see the aeyes" of the feet in
the form of a few prowling destroy
ers, which keep up mcessant watch.

arnidships. The crew was taken off
and the vessel drifted seaward before
