MIDSHIPMEN FAILED
AFTER EASIER TESTS
Lenient System in Effect This
Year, Is Reply TO Criti-
cisms.

|. Special Despatch TO THE NEW YogR HERALD
ANNAPOLIS. May %. - Criticisms of
the Naval Academy, based upon the re-
suit OF the last semi-annual examina-
tlon and reexamination when 10 mid
shipmen were directed to resign. are the
source of some interest here, but such
things by no means have been uncom-
mon. AS rule they are based on a
misunderstanding of the system and
often on positive misstatements by the
midshipmen involved who are trying to
explain away their failure.
Superintendent Scales and Comman-
daut Cluverius are away from Annapolis
to-day attending the baseball game at
West Point. and no officer is in posi-
ton to discuss the effort in Congress to
reinstate midshipmen who have been
dropped in a special and irregular way.
However. 1t is well known that those
who have the responsibility here feel
| that no special cases should be made.
Every effort was made to keep worthy
midshipmen in the academy, and the
| tests were applied with utmost impair
| tiality. As a matte of fact, a specially
| enient system went into effect this
year. Not only were candidates admit
| ted upon certificate of recognized
schools and without mental examina-
! tion, but those who failed in the regular
\ semi-annual examinations received spe-
/ cial instruction of a month or more
| and were allowed reexamination.
I Two hundred and seventy-six midship-
| men failed in the first examination and
| all but 110 managed TO pass after spe-
| cial examipation. This number Is
| smaller than usual II may be added
that the course at ths academy is not
! conducted so as to pass all midship-
| men. whether competent or incompe-
] tent, Industrious or lazy.
| An extreme instance of criticism
based on misinformation Is that coming
from Baltimore physician who cham
| ploned the cause of fourth class man
| who was compelled to resign. The mid
] shlpman in question failed on all four
/ OF his subjects at the regular examn-
Gtion. and, after full month of special

second time. and barely passed fourth.

TARIFF SCHEDULES
SPLIT HOUSE G. O.P.
Chemicals. Cotton, Wool and
Silks Arouse Sectional and
Other Views.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Republican
members of the House Ways and Means
Committee, preparing final draft OF
the general tariff bill were said to-
night to be at odds over four important
schedules In the new measure. What
Cured in the writing of schedules for
chemicals, cotton wool and silks.
Despite the lack of agreement on
these schedules and the fact that some
others have passed only the sub commit
tee stage. Chairman Fordney held to
his prediction of June 10 as the date of
Introduction. Some members of the
committee, however, declared the House
would not receive the measure short or
June 20.
The chemical schedule, It was said.
has resulted In continuation OF the
fight originating In the Senate against
the further use OF restrictions. other
than by tariff rates. on the tmporta-
tons of dyestuffs. Mr.. Fordney Is un-
derstood to haro announced his vigorous
opposition In the committee to any plan
savoring OF IN embargo, although he
was willing to allow the application of
high rates.
The chemical provisions. 1t was un-
derstood, have been put at the bottom
of the list Of schedules awaiting con-
sideration. No indication was given
when they would be taken up again. and
but few members were said to feel that
the mere passing over OF the provisions
would eliminate the sore spots already
caused.
Neither the sub committee nor the
full Republican membership has sue
ceeded in establishing basic rates on
the silk schedule, while sectional views
were said to have been reflected IN
the attempt TO fix rates on cotton and
It's products The New England ele-
ment in the committee was said to be
fighting against the rates on cotton
products contending that they were
disproportionate to the rates on the
raw product
Few members were willing 10 talk
of the wool schedule. but IL was learned
that the division on wool rates CEN
tired around the same problem as those
on cotton-disparlty between the rates
on the raw and manufactured product.
Subcommittee drafts of the sched-
ules on earthenware. paper. sundries
and minerals are understood TO have
been accepted by the majority men,

+ Washington. ID. G., May 2s
A definite and guaranteed plan for
the recapture of G. G. Bergdoil, draft
dodger, fugitive from justice and alien
enemy. has been placed before the
Military Intelligence branch of the
army.
The plan--or perhaps schemes no
wild amateur detective stunt. 1t has
Official gu,se and official backing. In
fact the Department of Justice. It Is
known, has outlined a programme to
the military officers that is regarded
as fool proof. 1t worked successfully
In one noted case, the capture of Capt.
Faye, German agent, sought under the
espionage act during the war for his
plotting and destructive activity in the
United States.
Because of the official courtesy that
prevails. the Military Intelligence Service
must act. Bergdoll Is regarded as in
the province of. or the peculiar property
of this service. Nevertheless. the De-
partment OF Justice has kept track of
BerSdoll. On each of his escapes he was
located by this department which re-
ported to the War Department. When
he was located near Cologne, the De-
partment of Justice again reported him
to the Military Intelligence Service. His
attempted capture, however, turned into
a farce.
Military officials are not inclined to
talk about the matter. but 1t is known
they have a definite proposal which the
Department of Justice is willing to
undertake If authorized to do so.
Bergdoll's status apparently is tre-
mendously complicated by the latest
Government action in seizing his prop
erty on the score that he is an alien
enemy. The laws provide that no man
can expatriate himself during war.
Bergdoll is beyond any question an
American citizen. He is being sought as
deserter and fugitive from justice
for failing to go into the army as an
American citizen.
In spite OF the seeming legal conflict
officials here declare they can make
every count stand. The alien enemy act
permits seizure OF the property of an
American living in an enemy country
and they say the status of Bergdoll as
a fugitive Is clear and he cannot escape
responsibility.
Consideration Is being given TO the
possibility of extraditing Bergdoll under
some OF the old treaties when peace Is
restored.
