478 TO Be fNsIGNS
Large Class win Be Graduated
at Annapolis.
Naval Academy VIII ReveI In SJune
Week" First Time In Three
Years.

Annapolis, Md.!The fact that but
one member of the First, or graduating
class Of the Naval academy was de-
ihcient In scholastic work during the
term just closed insures that the num-
Der of graduates will be 475,s unless
something unexpected happens.
1t Is seldom that a midshipman who
reaches his final term drops by the
lwayside. The class is larger by 80
per cent than the largest class which
has preceded 1t at the Naval academy
and nearly three times as large as the
normal class Of recent years.
With slightly more than 1900 regu-
lar officers In the service when the
United States entered the war, the
commissioning Of nearly 500 ensigns
will mean that officers a be spared
to carry out necessary steps In the
service.
i Young officers viii be released for
postgraduate work at the Naval acad-
envy and many temporary officers will
be returned to civil life or to the
grades they previously occupied In the
service.
The graduation Of this class will
mark the restoration OF "June week."
the commencement period at the Naval
academy, to the b%rilliancy and interest
of former years, but greatly increased
in every way.
"June week. has been a rather
somher affair for the last two years.
lGraduation was a Serious business, as
the graduates were going out to active
duty with the feet under war time con-
dltions. There was none Of the usual
social gayeties. and the ceremonies
and exercises were reduced to a mini
mum.
The restrictions placed upon the vfs-
Its Of the public to naval stations pre-
vented the assemblage Of the usual
great crowd, and altogether there was
little Of the gayety and interest OF
former years.
| Next June all Of these things will
lbe back again, but with an Increased
interest in keeping with the larger
class and the growth o popular at
ltention to everything connected with
the Naval academy. For a week there
will be a programme Of drills and ex-
~ercises, interspersed with gay social
events and ending with the p~resenta-
ton to the graduates of the diplomas
which mean commissions as 9 signs.

SOUTH DAKOTA G. Q. ?. ID BACK
 GENERAL. WOOD
POindexter Fights Lone Hand in Attempt to Get Endorse
 ment.

Pierre, s. D., Dec. Limited States Senator Miles Poindexter of Washington delivered short ad- dress at mass meeting late to- day as candidate for the repub- lican presidential nomination and challenged Major General Leonard Wood to either debate with him on national issues or to answer se- ries of prepared questions which PoindeXter read to his audience.
 Senator Poindexter's address brought to a rather spectacular close a day of conferences and public &C., tivities of delegates to three state conventions, which will be held here tomorrow to indorse party candi- dates for president and to nominate candidates for federal and state off, fices. 4N
 The Washington senator at the outset of his address declared that leading South Dakota republicans have told him "it was useless" for him to attempt to bring his candi- dacy before the republican conven- tion because the republican delegates were overwhelmingly in favor of Major General Wood. Discussing the new state law which provides that state proposal conventions shall nominate candidates for the primary election and also may indorse party candidates for president, Senator Poindexter declared that altho he had read the statute. .T cannot say that l understand it."
 He did discuss, however, a por- tion of the statute. which declares that candidates indorsed for office by proposal conventions should dis cuss issues involved with any oth- CT candidate or candidates who seek the office as independents.
 In this connection he suggested that as General Wood is considered certain of indorsement tomorrow. he was ready to return to South Da- kota to discuss presidential issues with the major general, should Wood become an avowed candidate for president.

Former U. s. Aviator Returns from Border With Story y--Slaughter Closely Follows Chihuahua
 City Execution.

Fl Paso, Tex, Dec. 1.-Fighting like madmen to avenge the death of Felipe Angeles, 1000 soldiers un- der command of Francisco Villa, fell upon the eighteenth regiment of the federal army, 676 men, at Rancho Espejo, 21 miles south of Santa Rosalia, Chihuahua, Tuesday morn ing, November 28 at 6 o'clock, ex- actly 24 hours after the Chapultepec officer had been shot down by a fir ing squad in Chihuahua City, and massacred all but two members of the regiment.
 Such was the word brought to El Paso tonight by Dr. l.. M. Gomez of this city and Los Angeles, an American citizen who fought IS months as an aviator with the Amer ican army in France. Follow ing the arrest of Angeles, Gomez, in behalf of friends on this side of the line, went to Chihuahua to inter- cede for him. He was with him all night and up to 6:55 o'clock when Angeles was executed, and also at tended his funeral.
 Then going to Santa Rosalia, 36O kilometers south of Chihuahua, he learned the story of the big massa- ere, which he declared, has been cen- sored by the Carranza authorities. He left there on his return trip only Sunday morning.
 The account of the fieht he heard from the lips of Colonel Rivas and Lieutenant Colonel Marroqui as they related it to mutual friend in San ta Rosalia. These two officers are the only men who escaped.
 General Santo Sanchez. the chief officer, was missing when Gomez left Santa Rosalia and there was lit- tie doubt that he had been killed.

Kissing No Fun for Girls, Says w.
 C. T. U. Lecturer

Osculation, so-named in the die tionary and synonymous with kissing, popularly believed to be one of the greatest indoor sports, came in for sharp criticism in lecture yesterday at the high school delivered by Dr. Sara Wise, California w. c. T. U. worker.
 Incidentally Doctor Wise gave new twist to an old story. Kissing, she said, is an agreeable function to the man. The girl, she declares, kisses as a sort of a matter of accomm odation, and doesn't really get any fun out of it.
 Cigarette smoking by boys also came in for condemnation and the high school boys were urged to sign pledge saying they wouldn't smoke.
 The girls weren't asked to sign any anti-osculation document.

IN HOSPITAL FOR
TIME, THEN BACK
. ON JOB FOR "CAL'

That Lieutenant j. Winton Gala
ham of this city, has resumed his
duties in Paris, after stay in an
army hospital, is the inference
drawn from letters recently received
from him by his father, j. r. Gala
ham, 728 South 18th street.
Details of the malady that sent
him to the institution were not re-
ceiyed. He stated in a letter dated
Paris, December 8. that he was in a
hospital In another letter dated
December 1G he declared that he
was going back to work the follow
ing day. He is with the auditing
department of the overseas air SER
vice.
When he entered the service sew
eral months ago. he was connected
with an engineering outfit and serv-
ed in France in that capacity for
some time, but was ordered to Paris
to take up the work that he is now
doing His transfer came as a spec
ial request from the officer III
charge of auditing the air service
records.

Unknown Enters Room
In Daylight Robbery.

When Milton Tinney, linotype op
orator on the Daily Express, Went
to his room in the Lahoma rooms
on North Third street yesterday
evening, he found that a burglar had
entered the room during the day
and had stripped him Of practically
all belongings.
The list of articles cleaned up in
the swag included travelling bag,
a suit of clothes, an overcoat, other
articles of clothing, a bank book, re-
ceipts for Liberty Bonds, some War
Savings Stamps and several other
valuable papers, such as tax re-
ceipts.
Mr.. Tinney has no idea at what
hour the robbery occurred Also the
landlady could shed no light on the
subject as she did not see a strang
er in the house during the day. The
police were notified yesterday eve
ming and are now working on the
case. "The papers win do the rob
ber no good" said Mr.. Tinney. al
SO the II, eipts and War Savings
Stamps can not be cashed They
are registered and l have notified
the bank concerning the Liberty
Bonds Therefore, all that can be
used by the robber, is the clothing.
I would gladly give the clothes to
get back the papers, which are val
liable to ne, but absolutely worth
less to anyone else"
