WASHINGTON. Feb. 12-Ar OF the
eighty-two midshipmen at Annapolis
who were recommended for dismissal be-
cause they failed on their midsession ex-
animation will be permitted to resign in
stead Of having the blot of expulsion
from the service against their record.
After approving the academic boards
recommendation that the midshipmen be
dismissed, Secretary Daniels today wrote
to Captain Eberle. superintendent of the
Naval academy. authorizing him to ac-
cept designations.
Mr.. Daniels explained that he believed
a boy should he dismissed from the
academy only in punishment for miscon-
duct.
About half OF the midshipmen who
failed are members Of the fourth class
eligible for reappointment. so many of
them may return to the academy next
fall.
