 The Times of the issue at hand tells of the arrival of the schooner Cavalier from the Grand Banks after vving terrible storm with 119OOO pounds of fish of which only 10000 pounds were halibut, AND THIS AFTER A SEVEN WEEKS CRUISE.
 In the next column gives the catches of twelve beam awerS and SchOonerS arriving at Boston and says that IN ALL OVER 10000 POUNDS OF FRESH HALIBUT WERE BROUGHT IN

M. M. A. NOTES
By Cadet Epstein.

We are almost ready for the Gov
eminent inspection. Our battalion
has been we'll drilled and needs no
extra time for practice and each man
knows his part and acts it thorough
ly.
Mr.. Larsen has been at the Acade-
my taking pictures for the catalogue.
He took one picture of 1876 cadets
standing on the new bridge, which
ha, been constructed across one end
of the lake. In a few days Colonel
Burton and the cadets will build an
other bridge over the southern end #
the lake.
Col. Henderson and his trench
squad have been working every day
on the trench and have it almost COM
pleted now. Col. Henderson's ideas
made this trench a great improve
ment over last years. 1t will be
sodded as soon as possible and the
rest of the work completed near the
end Of the week.
Major Strock has offered a medal
for the best theme of 1000 words and
all the English students are working
hard for the prize.
When you hear music from the
Academy about $40 in the afternoon
you may know that we are having re-
treat, at which time the national flag
is lowered to the strains of the ma
tional anthem.
Cadets T. Anderson and Epstein
will give a "tacky dance" Saturday
evening. Of course, it will not be
originally tacky, but the cadets
permission to wear their olive
dlab uniforms. Local music has
been arranged for through Archie
Rodgers and Frank Houston and the
dance promises to be one of the best
Of the season.

Review War Preparations

WASHINGTON, D. c., March
29. - President Wilson and his
Cabinet reviewed in detail y~ester-
day afternoon the preparations for
probable war with Germany. Ev-
cry element of defense was consid-
cred.
While no official statement was
forthcoming after the meeting, it
was learned the administration
heads acted on the theory Germa-
ny might assume the offensive af-
ter Congress acts next week, and
prepared to meet possible attacks.
1t is not proper even to specu-
late as to the methods the Gov
eminent will employ to safeguard
valuable points along the At
lantic seaboard, but it may be said
the army and navy have perfected
their plans to cope with any stu
alton.

MEXICO TO AID IN EN-
LISTING MEN FOR THE
U. S. ARMY AND NAVY
Applications for Enlistment in the
Army and Navy May Be Made
With Postmaster Here

Mexico has been asked to do its
share in providing for any national
emergency in the crisis with Germa-
ny. Postmaster jackson has received
instructions from Washington that
the President has directed an emer-
gency increase Of the Navy to 3D.
600 men, in addition to $4,000 men
originally provided for. The fact
that the country now needs men for
the first line Of defense is empha-
sized and Federal office-holders are
urged to lend every possible assis-
lance to the recruiting officers by Sc
curing the enlistment in the Army
and Navy of the patriotic young men
of their respective communities.
Applications for enlistment may be
made with Postmaster jackson.
When several applications have been
received, officers in charge Of the re-
cruiting stations at Kansas City or
st. Louis will be advised TO send a
representative to examine the appli-
cants. Those who stand this tenta-
tive examination will be sent to the
main recruiting station for medical
examination and enrolment in the
service.
1t is pointed out that persons enlist
ing here are credited to this immedi-
ate community, whereas if a man
from this vicinity goes to St. Louis to
enlist, that territory is credited with
the enlistment.
The only enlistment in Mexico thus
far is that Of Paul Clough, son Of Mrs.
ia. Genrich. Clough now is at the
United States Naval Training Station
az Great Lakes, III. The station is in
charge of William A. Moffett. 1t is
this station that has produced the best
g%un-pointers in the Navy, literally the
best in the world.
