MAY DISMISS
NAVALCADETS
Daniels Warns That l,l0O
Midshipmen Must Learn
Discipline.

So serious is the disorganiZation
OF the Naval Academy through lack
Of discipline and the determination
of two upper classes TO haze the
members of the fourth or lowest
class. that Secretary Daniels yester-
day threatened to court-msrtial and
dismiss 1.IOo Of the 1900 cadets now
enrolled there.
Il would rather see 500 earnest
well disciplined cadets like the ones
who were in attendance at the
academy when / assumed office than
1900 who refuse TO obey the law"
said the Secretary. only men who
can obey are Mt to command" he
added.
The situation at Annapolis is un-
precedented. Five courts of inquiry
are investigating cases of hazing
which have assumed the most vio-
lent form. On one recent occasion
fourth class cadets were beaten
with stats of wood and the fat
sides of broad swords by members
Of the first and second classes.
Other new cadets were put through
an exaggerated and extremely pain
full form of setting up drill. With
chests thrown forward, legs bent
back and finger tips as far down
at the sides as they could reach the
-plebes" were compelled TO stand in
one position until the agony was
intense.
Segregation of the classes on
widely different floors with sentries
between failed to stop the hazing.
The 49, n
that only members of the two lower
classes would be given liberty on
Thanksgiving Day was followed by
a new and different kind of out
burst. as first announced exclusively
by The Washington Herald.
Members of the upper classes
proceeded to their rooms in a body
and threw bed clothes, pitchers,
books and magazines out of the
windows until the ground beneath
looked like a refuse heap. Many
OF those implicated are now under
going discipline for this act.
Several of the boards of inquiry
have completed their work and are
understood to have recommended
the most drastic action against
practically half the corps. Two ca
diets have already been dismissed
for drunkenness.
A number of lower classmen, Il
developed yesterday, are under ar
rest charged with giving false tes-
timony to shield the upper classmen
who themselves confessed.
1t has also been determined to
remove Admiral Scales, superintend-
ent of the Academy. Admiral Will
son, now in command of the Allan
tic fleet, will take his place. This
change will not be made. however.
until after fleet maneuvers about
the first of March.
Decentralization at the Naval
Academy has spread to st. Johns
Military Academy, whose grounds
adjoin. The sophomore class there
has been given until Sunday to re-
pudiate hazing, and il il refuses
will be dismissed en- masse.

Admiral Ordered to Probe
French Execution of Yank

The State Department has cabled
Rear Admiral Mark Bristol, United
States Commissioner at CONSTANT
nople, to make inquiry into the al
legged summary execution of Capt.
John Shishmanian. in command OF
the Armenian Relief Legion. by a
French officer at Adena, Armenia.
The Consular Bureau will also in
vestigate the case.
Shishmanian's friends in this
country assert that he is an Ameri-
can citizen and was at one time q
member Of the Kentucky National
Guard. His last residence in the
United States is said to have been
Fresno, Cal.
Adena is near the border Of Ar
menia and Syria. State Department
officials are at loss to understand
why France should execute an offi-
GER defending Armenia against the
Turks.

The roadways contemplated will

The total expense to put over the

project, could be covered by four
yearly payments of 100000.
frederick Caldren, chairman Of the
associations committee on parks
and parking. explained in his petit
tion the specific details which for
the past nineteen years, since its
inception, have partially hindered
the total success of the plan. He
recommended the purchase of vari-
Gus properties particularly adapted
for park sites, including the Pat

tract and the Dean tract, the last
being a most desirable location for
the purpose. Other properties men,
toned are the K!ingle ord and the

Latest Cure for tuberculosis
Reported From Paris
Interests Officials.

The announcement of the discov-
cry in Paris of an NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
vaccine for cattle was viewed yes
terday by governmental medical au-
thorities with great interest.
So many previous announcements
have been made of an alleged cure
for tuberculosis that officials were
reticent about attaching complete
credence to the latest report. The
fact, however. of the attachment of
the name of so noted a scientist as
DR.. Calmette and of the Pasteur In
stitute served to dispel many
doubts.
1T looks very important" DR.. ].
w. Shereschewsky. head of the Bu-
reau of Investigation of the Public
Health Service, declared after read
ing the report. Il do not know DR..
Calmette personally, but 1 know he
is a man whose reputation adds
weight to what he says"
DR.. c. F. Bolduan of the Public
Health Service. recalled that DR., Cal
mette was in Washington in 1908 at
tending the International Congress
on Tuberculosis. At that time, he
said. the French scientist created
somewhat of a stir with the intro
duction into this country of a test
for tuberculosis. This test, he said
supplanted to some extent a test dis
covered by Won Pirquet. of Vienna,
although not permanently.
DR.. Bolduan recalled that a Ger
man scientist. Emil Won Behrine was
quite sure that he had discovered an
anti-tuberculosis vaccine. In his
book on Suppression of TubercuIo-
sis" DR.. Bolduan said, the German
scientist, who died about two wears
ago, told how he thought he had ar
rived at the same results that DR..
Calmette now seems to have
achieved. He pointed out that Won
Behring discovered the dphtheria
anti-toxin.

Baron wrangers army already has
begun evacuation of the Crimean
Peninsula, according to semi, ,official
dispatches received here shortly be-
fore midnight. French warships and
transports were said to be aiding the
embarkation.
The reports stated that occupation
of Sebastopol by the Soviet forces
was imminent. The dispatches said
that the Reds pierced WrangePs

Thursday. Later information re-

wrangel was preparing to fee from

Meantime the victorious Reds were
said to be pouring into the peninsula
rapidly through the break in the
Perekop defense line on the isthmus,
which they outfianked by crossing
the frozen Sea of -Azof to the rear
of the wrangelites.
WrangePs troops were reported to
be losing their grip on town after
town, fighting desperately to pre-
vent further flanking movements
with consequent large scale cap

Baron WrangePs position is in
creasingly precarious." the foreign
office stated. The Bolsheviki have
captured Uszik and great quantities
OF war materials.
"Petlura and Balakovitch have
jointly launched an offensive against
the Bolsheviki on a wide front in
Ukrainia- The latter already has oc-
cupied the entire Mozyr district"
A wireless communique from Nos
COW stated: "WrangePs fate Is the
same as that of Kolchak. Denikine
and Yudenitch. A proclamation from
him transferring his powers to the
Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch,
now incognito in Sebastopol, Is i'm
minent.
"Bolsheyik cavalry is advancing

Crimea, burning stores and captur-

After the two ambassadors reach
an agreement their work will be put
before their governments to accept

time.
Provisions OF the plan, now virta-

night and is said TO have two phases:

FORDISTRICT AT
SHORT SESSION
Long Needed Legislation to
Be Passed Soon, Say
Optimists.
MANY SOLONS IN TOWN
Committees Becoming Act
i've on Laws Which Will
Aid City.
SOLONS IN TOWN

The coming short session of Con-
Sress is seen as a prppitious one for
District legislation by the seers on
Capitol Hill, who predict that many
long-needed laws for Washington
will be placed on the statute books
before the gavel falls on March 4,
next.
This Congress, as has been the
case with other Congresses when
the incumbent party was over
thrown by the election. will be
known as the Don't Care Con-
sress," it was explained. Nearly 200
of its members will not return for
the next session. Naturally their
interest in pending legislation will
be somewhat distracted by the ne
cessity for providing future occu-
pations. Most Of these men are
Democrats. The Republicans. al
ready I'm control. are expected,
through this lack of interest on the
part of retiring members, to feel
virtually as much strength as when
their force Is augmented by new
members in the following session.
Must Divert Excess Energy.
Although in control of the legis-
lative bodies. 1t is pointed out, the
Republicans will be reluctant about
passing important national legisla-
ton that would require the sigma
ture of a Democratic President, as
credit~for the legislation necessarily
would be divided.
Therefore. 1t is a matter of course,
say the seers, that the Republicans,
full of ambition as a result of their
new-found power, must divert their
excess energy to the less-important
or local legislation.
Indications bearing this position
out already are apparent. Members
of committees. before which legisla-
tion affecting the District is pend
ing, are beginning to appear in
Washington prepared to begin work
even before Congress itself con-
venes.
Committees Begin Work.
Both Representative Frederick r.
Lehlbach. chairman of the House
Committee on Reform IN the Civil
Service, and Senator Thomas Ster-
ling, chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Civil Service and Re-
trenchment, are at their desks max
ing plans for the drafting Of the
reclassification bill. a measure which
will affect more than 10000 District
citizens
Representative Charles r. Davis,
chairman of the subcommittee on
the District of the House Appropria-
tions Committee, has returned and
already has promised generous con-
sideration of District appropriations,
especially for the school system.
Various measures designed to re-
lteve conditions in the District of
Columbia were developed almost to
the point of completion in the last
session and are expected to be
brought up within the first week or
two of the coming session.
