Senior Class Anxious to Be Sent
Home to Await Orders Fol-

Correspondence of The Sunday Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Md. May 24.-Midship-
men at the Naval Academy, who re-
ceive $500 as their annual salaries,
and are compelled to pay for board,
clothing and everything else from this
sum, are envying the comparative
wealth of the West Point cadets. who
received $3.50 for the same period. and
hoping that Congress will put them
on the same basis promptly. In fact.
this was one of the things which Con-
gress would have done but for its
sudden adjournment.
From this allowance of $50 month
the midshipmen are now paying from
$50 to $35 A month for board. whereas
From the balance uniforms and other
clothing must be bought. and the
prices have scared in recent years.
There are other expenses which each
midshipman must meet and the fact
is that nearly every one OF them is
getting into debt.
Members of the graduating class
are hoping that the orders which they
receive upon graduation will be that
they return to their homes to await
orders. In this form, it means that
the government furnishes travel pay.
If they are simply allowed leave with
permission to go home, they must pay
their own way if they care to make
this visit. In some cases the cost is
absolutely prohibitive. and the gradu-
ate has no chance to pay a visit to the
far-away home to which he longs to
go so much after his long period of
absence. 1t is felt that the depart
fnent may do this much at least for
them since the pay has not been in
creased in spite of the increased f1nan-
cial burden put upon them.
1t is believed that Congress will not
fail to pass the proposed increase and
put the midshipmen on the plane with
the West Point cadets. To fail to do
so would simply mean that midship-
men who were not helped by their
parents would finish their course and
start in the service with a heavy bur-
den of debt. At no time in their
career are naval officers in a position
to save much money from their sala-
ries and allowances and it is a very
bad thing for them to start with a
deficit
