OF VARIOUS TYPES
On j. 5. BIG FLEET

WASHINGTON, D. c., MAY IL. -
Plans for complete equipment of the
lighting fleet with aircraft during the
coming fiscal year were placed today
before the Naval Committee by Rear
Admiral Moffett, Chief of the Navy's
Bureau of Aeronautics.
The project contemplates placing
213 airplanes of various types on bat
tleships, cruisers, scouts and other
vessels, and is designed to furnish the
feet with its own aerial defense
against enemy attacks from the air.
Catapult launching devices, recent
ly developed and tried out success
fully, are to be installed on all ships,
enabling them to send away their
aerial defense even in high sea.
This airplane equipment, sought by
the Navy as an immediate answer, 1t
was explained at the Department, to
an assertion that surface craft were
defenseless against enemy aerial at
tacks, is regarded as essentially de-
fensive

Featured Final Meeting
Last Night
WORK IN REFORM SCHOOL

The University Club of Annapolis
held its final meeting OF the present
season last evening in Mcdowell Hall,
St Johns College. The meetings OF
the club will be resumed in the early
autumn. All of the topics were in
tcrestingly treated.
Prof. G. r. Clements and C. X
Payne, 10th of the Department of
Mathematics of the Naval Academy,
spoke on subjects having to do with
finance. THE Cost of Credit" was the
topic on which Professor Clements
threw a great deal OF new light:
while Mr. Payne carefully explained
and analyzed corporation balance
sheet, and gave good advice to those
who are so fortunate as to have
money TO invest.
As usual, the program displayed the
varied knowledge and experience of
the members of the club, for there
was talk by Prof. John B. White
of st. Johns College on his work as
an officer in the Pennsylvania State
Reform School at Morganza, Pa. and
plea by Prof. Carroll S. Alden of
the English Department of the Naval
Academy for order in education as
well as in life in general, as against
the Divine Disorder" which seems to
be the rule with so many persons.
The club feels that the past year
has been a successful one in its his
tory, but is planning to extend its
activities when the meetings are re-
sumed. The club is, indeed, very
grateful to st. Johns College for its
continued generous hospitality.
