ANNAPOLIS MAKES
RULES LESS RIGID

ANNAPOLIS. Md. Feb. 4-The
academic board, governing scholastic
work among the midshipnen. has
loosened up the regulations as to
actions following the semi-annuar
examinations of the regiment Of
midshipmen, so that every student
found delinquent in one or more
branches will be afforded the op-
portunity of continuing naval
career IL he elects.
Marking an entirely new depar-
ture, 1t was announced at the acad-
emy this morning that no resigna-
tions of students who. the examina-
tions disclosed, were badly delin-
quent, will be asked for. Instead
they will be given the alternative
of undergoing a month Of special
instruction and at the end of that
period examinations will be held
to determine whether or not the de-
linquents are qualified to continue
with their respective classes until
the annual tests arc held the latter
part of May.
The new ruling docs not, how
ever, deny the middies the priv
ilege of rendering their designations
in the event that they feel they will
be unable to maintain the required
scholastic pace.

House Military Affairs
Body Reports Favorably
On Fish Measure.

The~House Military Affairs Com
mittee yesterday formally submitted
Its favorable report on the Fish res
olution which directs the War De-
partment to bring back from France
tne body of an unidentified Ameri-
can warrior for burial with national
honors.
1T is the opinion of your COM
mittee that the tribute proposed by
the resolution is OF great signifi-
cance and Importance" says the re-
port. The army. the navy, the Ma
rine Corps and all patriotic Ameri-
can citizens undoubtedly will be glad
10 pay this recognition to one who,
wearing the uniform of his country,
made the supreme sacrifice for his
nations cause.
The people of the United States
undoubtedly will be glad of this op-
fOrtunity to honor the memory of
an unidentified American here who
died for his country"
The measure as originally drawn
Oy Representative Hamilton Fish,
Jr., of New York. was amended so
as not to prohibit any State from
returning the body Of one of its
Unidentified soldier dead. This was
accomplished by striking out the
words 'one unknown soldier" and
inserting "an unknown American"
The committee also restored the
provision for burial of the body in
the memorial amphitheater at Ar
lington. 1t was not believed when
the Commmittee eliminated this pro-
vision that burial could be made in
the amphitheater. The Secretary
of War advised. however. that spe-
cial provision is made. by law for
burials of this character.

While the meeting was in execu-

derstood, to the proposal to sub
stitute a franchise tax of ner
cent for the present 4 per cent

and adjourned without setting a
