ADDRESSED BY ROOSEVELT.
Graduating Class of U. S. Naval Acad-
emy Were Told of Service Meaning.

Annapolis, Md, June 2. Members o'
a naval academy graduating class
again to-day received their diplomas
from Roosevelt.
To-day it was Theodore Roosevelt
son Of the late president, who, as as
sistant secretary Of the navy, repre-
sented Secretary DENLY and welcomed
more than 400 midshipmen of the class
OF 1922 to places in permanent naval
establishment of the United States. In
doing so Mr.. Roosevelt impressed upon
the members Of the probably
the largest class to be commissioned
for years to come--that they were
starting on life service.
"Your career Is the sea- he told
them, but your career is not simply
the sea-for your career is the sea and
public service. We speak of the men
of the navy as being in the service.
Those simple little words convey in
themselves volumes. They constitute
a tacit recognition of the fact that ollr
navy men are public servants. In EN-
bracing the naval profession men dedi
cate themselves to life not of gain,
but Of service. know Of no higher
resolution than this.
Although Congress has shown indi-
,ations of cutting down the size of the
graduating classes at Annapolis. Sec
-etary Roosevelt foresaw no time when
iavies would be abandoned
Military and naval forces,' he de
Jared, 'sare of great value to our coun
ry and to the worlds civilization
when they are devoted to the defense
i our rights and to justice among
he nation. Our country's aims are
lean and her ideals are high. Our
rant strength, our arms and our

nd will be used in the future only |
or the defense Of our rights and for
he benefit of humanity.
''Nayies and armies properly em
