OVER 100 M|DD|ES
WILL RESIGN NAVY
But Commissions Are Available
For Entire Class. Academy
Authorities Believe

That more than 100 midshipmen of
the senior class will resign following
their graduation from the Naval Acad-
omy on June 2, to accept commissions
in the United States Army. or the
Marine Corps branch of the naval
service, was officially announced at
the academy this morning.
And in the absence of any infor-
nation to the contrary, the authori-
ties of the academy are working to-
ward one end-the graduation of the
entire class and that all viii be given
their commissions in the regular line
of the Navy. This will mean that
something more than 400 will be
sent into the commissioned ranks, in
view of the fact that over 100 will
resign. The complete roster of the
class is 540.~ Twenty-Five of the grad
yates are slated for commissions in
the Marine Corps, it is stated.
That the services OF the graduates
in industrial pursuits are being much
sought after, is indicated by a state
ment made by an employment repre-
sentative of big New York concern
who visited the Naval Academy re-
Gently and had personal talks with
number of midshipmen, who, in a state
of unrest arising out of the uncer-
tainty of getting their commissions,
have feen in receptive mood as to
accepting tenders of positions in civil
life. This representative further
stated that after studying records of
the local institutions and the qualifi-
cations of the graduates, his firm this
year had signified a willingness to
take at least so per cent. of naval
in preference to graduates
of other Universities or Colleges, as
has teen the custom of former years.
