ANNAPOLIS CLASS
MAY NUMBER 478
Brilliancy of Graduation
Week at Naval Academy
Will Be Restored.
LEADERS ARE INDICATED

ANNAPOLIS, Md. March IA class
numbering SO per cent more than any
previous class will graduate from the
Naval Academy next June. Only one
member was found deficient, as a re-
suit of the work done during the hrst
term, and as mem bers of the graduating
class seldom drop out during the final
term it is likely that the number of
graduates will not fall below the pres
ent number of 47s. The size of grad
uating class under normal conditions
has been about eco.
Official reports of the scholastic
work done indicate the probable class
bers in order of scholarship are:
Wesley McHague, California; walde-
mar w Olsang, New York: Evander
w. Sylvester, Louisiana; Lloyd Harri-
son. Oregon; Roscoe F. Good. Ohio
Lisle j. Maxsom, Michigan; Raymond

Big June Week Expected.

With the graduation of this big
class, June week" will be restored
in all it's wonted brilliancy with a
greater number of visitors to An
napo1is than ever before. Owing TO
the war conditions, for the past two
years, graduation At the Naval Acad-
emy has been marked by few of the
social gayeties.
The commissioned ranks of the Navy
will receive a large number of young
officers. and there will be released a
number of other officers for other
duties. for which they have been
needed for some time. Post graduate
work at the Naval Academy will be
resumed.
Last Three-Year Glass.
The class will be the last. dur
ing the present emergency, to gradu-
ate as full class after course OF
but three years. The present third
class will be evenly divided according
to scholarship in June, and half will
graduate in 1920 and the other half a
year later.

LOCAL RAILROADS ARE
 TRANSMITTING MEN WHO
 RETURN FROM THE ARMY

The folGwinl. notice has been is-
 sued hy the Regional Director Busn, United States Railroad AGministra- tion &nd is self explanatory:
 Tt has been brought to Rcsinal
 Director Bush's attention that ccr tain persons, representing themselves
 as delegates of an organization known
 as the Brotherhood of Railroad Clerks. are soliciting funds oGtside of railroad circles for the alleged pur- pose of providing for returned sol
 diers to whom the railroads have not furnished employment
 It is the practice of the railroads to provide employment to the return cd soldiers either in the position formerly held, or in one equally as
 good, therefore, there are no grounds ter the statement that the railroads are not properly providing for the re- turned soldiers.
 1t is, of course. possible that civil ians temporarily employed by the railroads in clerical positions during
 the period of the war may be dis
 placed by returning soldiers, but it is desired to correct any mis- understandings which may exist in the minds of the public with refer
 ence to positions for returned sol
 diers.'
 Assistant Superintendent w. r. Smith, of the Cotton Belt road, said esteiCay that no requests have been turned down from men who were ih the employ of the Cotton Belt of Mis- souri Pacific, for reinstatement.

kAR GOD DUPES DAN CUPID AND PAIR, ONCE ESTRANGED, WILL BE REMARKED

 i 10 To War; Retlrns Repentant, And Claims Hand Go To War, Returns Repe Standley Nightengale

! affections on many men, but she re- stricted her attentions to no one set
 of men. It is known on good authority that she had numerous private ses- , slons with a number of members in
 good standing of the Rotary Club. And it has been observed that she has been free with her attentions to any number of men in other organiza: tions, and other walks of life.
 However, after something like two
 months of this, the pair were pri- vately divorced, and agreed that as man and wife, they should forever, and day, part.
 Now then, here comes the further sordid end to the story.
 After MT. Franey returned from the army, it was observed that Miss i Nltengale, who had resumed her maiden name, was among the first to welcome him home, and since his re- | turn, she had one more than one oc- casion, publicly demonstrated re- turned affection toward the man she had once renounced as her husband. Then on top of this, comes the an-
 nouncement that the pair will be mar ried again at the Tabernacle on the 25th of April, and it is understood | that announcement cards have been issued, and all of the most respectable people in the city have been issued an invitation. ..
 The very idea of this paid who have intrigued, who have flayed false, and
 who have made mockery of the most sacred of VOWS asking the good people of this city to attend their wedding is revolting
 (Read on pardner, the best is com- ing.)
 And now-and now-well, the mar
 riage is under the auspices of the
 Rotary club, and is for the purpose
 of raising fund. toward the Jcffer- son County Memorial, and the wcd- ding will include practically the same
 personnel.
 Those who attend the first mar
 riage, and they were many, need only the announcement of the marriage to
 insure their attendance. Those who
 did not see the first wedding are
 promised something good Oh boy!

X The rankest piece of scandal which Aos come to the attention of local Newspapers was presented yesterday E, tho wedding announcement of Miss borotbv Stanley Nitengale to Toney kranev both of this city, which will I akp nlace here April twenty-fifth Ordinarily, the Graphic does not ca for to stories of such morbid char 3cter as is presented in the story ot These two people. But the actions of he two have reached such stage hst it is the business of the good peonle of the community to become Scouainted with the story, and to lake such a subsequent action as khould be meted out to the two. Perhaps it should be better recall
 hit of local history before the full ktorv of the latest antics of the pair
 revealed. On February 8, 1918, Miss Dorothy Stanley Ntengale was married to Fonev Franey at the Tabernacle be- fore an immense crowd and with be- fitting ceremonies. After very Short honeymoon, the groom left his
 Young bride for the army.
 1 After that, the actions of both the bride and groom were such that would bring blush to the cheek of any self
 respecting person.
 In the first place, the groom made Diff to camp, and it is a matter of
 record that MT. Franey never once
 while he was there, send a letter to ! his wife. Further than that, it has been learned on good authority that
 he made out his insurance and allot-
 ment to some one other than the wife
 he had welded on February eighth. Let the woman be given every con- kideration. Mayhap the bride, chag- fined, disappointed, embarrassed, and
 probably piqued at the lack of at
 tention, and absolute infidelity shown by her husband, look to other men
 for condolance.
 At any rate, she seemingly violat-
 ed every marriage VOW she had made lThe number of men with whom she
 associated after her husband had
 left-local men all-would number
 hundreds. Not only did she fix her

"Wc have employed about thirty re- turned soldie, s." he said, "who were with us before going into the service and arc contemplating taking back many more. All of the men who de- sire to return will be given their same jobs as far as possible and where this is impossible other jobs just as good will be furnished them. We make no exception to disabled men either. Men who are crippled through wounds or other causes while in the service of the govern ment will be reinstated by the rail- roads.

rise to the suggestion that it was the situation at home, rather than Flu rope which migh require the early return of President Wilson to Amcri- ca. But, according to the view of dent, his physical presence in Wash ington is not essential to the meet ing of congress, or until the end of June, when the appropriation bills would be ready for his signature.
 It is contended that the call for an extra sessionc an be issued here and ! the work of the new congress can proceed without the presidents at ! tendance.

 The final lewiston depends largely on the progress of the peace con- i ference, as the situations at Washing ] ton and Paris are so linked together that they are more or less dependent on each other.
 President Wilson attended the morning and afternoon sessions of the council today. The council had under ! consideration, the remaining details
 of the Sarre settlement and the Rhine
 frontiers.
