From Committee on Public 1nformation'
Washington.-The acting secretary
Of war has approved the recommends
lions of General March, chief Of stan,
to graduate the two upper classes at
the United States Military academy on
November 1, and to authorize one
year course at West Point for the re-
mainder of the war. 1t is proposed to
utilize this valuable and expensive
institution, the war department an
nounces, to the limit during the period
Of the war. The number of cadets
graduated each year from West Point
is now only about 200. Under the new
system it will be possible to graduate
1000 officers q year.
Vacancies resulting from the gradu-
alton Of the two upper classes will be
filed by the war department, If pos
sible, by the admission on November
/, 1913, Of qualified candidates. Ap-
pointments will be made in the usual
through senators and represent
atives In congress, and other customary
channels. The war department de-
sires that candidates to be. admitted
on November I shall be not under
eighteen years of age on that date.
A. the result of an investigation by
the war department, following the
failure of the medical department to
obtain q supply Of clinical thermome-
tiers except at what were considered
exorbitant prices, the general STAN has
ordered 10 manufacturers In different
PARTS Of the country to furnish about
66S.O 900 of the instruments, which are
urgently needed here and abroad.
Under these orders the war depart
ment will not only take the entire
stock of clinical thermometers now
manufactured, but will require the FAC
tories to produce in large quantities
