NAVAL CADETS
ARE DISMISSED
FAILED IN THEIR
STUDlES-DANiELS APPROVES
THE ACTION.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL Secretary
Daniels today approved the recon-
mendation of the academic board at
the naval academy dismssing S2 mid
shipmen for failure in their studies.
Their names may be made public
later. Three of the first class, 10 of
the second 20 of the third and 40 of
the fourth class Secretary Daniels
said that although the navy needed
more officers, only those who could
meet the high standard and qualify
by examination could be retained.
TO meet this need" he said, the
siXtytthird congress upon the rec
ommendation of the navy depart
ment, continued the law which had
expired by limitation providing for
the appointment of two midshipmen
by each member of congress, and
the sixty-third congress, as the first
act in larger preparedness, has pass
ed the bill giving three appoint
ments to each senator and represent
ative. This makes an increase of
53l midshipmen for the coming year.
The secretary expressed regret
that the so students had ben found
unsatisfactory in such a degree as
does not justify the hope of their
graduation and Training as OTrtfrurg f11'
the navy.
I'VE want more officers, but not
at the expense of the high standard
long ma ntained," he said
"The need of officers for the naval
service" he added, will not be met
by lowering the standard for gradua-
ton" --...

steads not restricted to the limits
which they have imposed on war
ships by their neutrality declaration.
Some, however, have adopted the
opposite standpoint and subjected
merchantmen of the belligerents to
the neutrality rules effective in the
case of warships.
8. In the course of the war the
arming of British merchantmen was
carried out more and more generally.
Numerous cases came to light from
the reports of the German naval
forces in which British merchant
men not only offered armed re-
sistance to German warships, but
on their own part proceeded without
further aid to attack them, in which
attacks they frequently made use of
false colors.
"a compendium of. such cases is
given in appendix 4, which, from the
nature of the cases can comprise
only a part of the attacks actually
made. A compendium also shows
that the described procedure was not
limited to English merchantmen,
but was initiated by merchantmen
of England's allies.
"The explanation of the described
procedure of armed English mer-
chantmen is contained in confiden-
tial instructions of the British ad-
miralty which are photographically
reproduced in appendices 5 to IL,
found by German naval forces upon
a captured ship. These instructions
regulate in detail artillery attacks
of English merchantmen upon Ger
man submarines. They contain pre-
else regulations concerning the re-
ceptionl, treatment, activity and con-
troll of British gun crews taken over
from merchant ships, who, for ex-
Iample, must not wear uniforms in
neutral harbors and hence obviously

AUSTRIA JOINS
WITH GERMANY IN
NEW SHIP CASE
THE MERCHANTMEN WILL BE
TREATED AS WARSHiPS IN
FUTURE - INSTRUCTIONS
FOUND ON BRlTISHER.

VIENNA (via London), Feb. IL
The text of the memorandum commun-
icated by the Austro- Hungarian for
eign office today to the representa-
tives of neutral governments, an
nouncing the decision of Austria Hun
gary to treat as warships armed mer-
chantllen of countries at war with
this nation, is as follows:
1T is not unknown to the govern
ments of neutral powers that the
British admiralty in the course of
the year, 1913, caused number of
large British liners to be armed. The
first lord of the admiralty declared
26, 1918. that the armament of the
vessels in question was only to pro-
tect them from dangers threatening
them from hostile ships converted
into auxiliary cruisers, and to serve
exclusively for defense
Experiences gained in the pres
ent war show that a considerable
number of British merchantmen used
the guns installed aboard against hos
tile warships and not solely with the
intention to escape legitimate exer-
else of the prize right, but also to at
tack -fffad--desttreS9A- enemy Warshins.
LAS is evident from the memoran-
dunn, which the imperial German
government today communicated to
neutral states, instructions have been
found aboard British steamers
which prove that the British govern
ment itself melted it's merchantmen
to illegal. acts, and this in complete
contradiction to assurances which it
communicated to the state depart
ment at Washington. It's allies par
ticularly France and Italy, followed
the example of Great Britain during
the course of hostilities"
without wishing to enter into an
examination of the surprising claim
according to which liners. armed by
that government retain their offens-
i've character, while merchantmen
armed by the enemy as regarded by
the British naval forces as auxiliary
cruisers, the Austro-H -Hungarin gov
ernment, limits itself to establishing
that every merchantmen provided for
any purpose whatever with cannon
losses, through this fact alone, the
character of non-combatant ship.
Under these conditions the order
has been given to the Austro-Hunga-
rian naval forces to treat such ships
as combatants, an order which, how
ever, will be in force only from Feb
20, 1916. This delay is granted in
the interests of neutral powers, in or
der that they may be placed in a
position to warn their nations of the
danger to which they will expose
themselves if they entrust their per
sons or property to armed merchant
men of states at war with Austria.
