COMPLETELY UNENFORCED
With the greatest respect, may

that whereas the Eighteenth
amendment to the Constitution In
permissive in It's authorization to
Congress to pass legislation to
enforce IL, the second section OF
the Fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution which commands Con-
gress to reduce representation in

mandatory and prescriptive and II
now scandalously and completely
unenforced and nullified.
With the greatest respect may
I also draw your attention to the
fact that with fragrant and wide
spread disfranchisement established
by a mass Of indisputable evidence
now before Congress and by q
common knowledge and the sec

unenforced, the very tenure Of

STRIKE AT LAWS.
Unconstitutional tenure Of Of

the very heart OF the moral

IL there were. surely the moral

HISTORY OF YEAR.
From a discussion Of policies. tho
report. supplemented by one from
Admiral Coontz, chief of naval op
erations. outlines American nava
history Of the year. Among tho
revelations. are the following:
Ships-The prevailing popular
opinion that the, 5-5-3 ratio ap-
plies to vessels other than capi-
tad ships Is 'far from correct.
" and the navy II still far short Of
other powers In light cruisers.
and win still be short after the
completion of the present build
ing program" The United States
has and plans no battle cruisers.
General Training-Owing to in
adequate appropriations for fuel.
Il was necessary to abandon plans
for combined maneuvers, at least
one Of which each year Is essen
tial to proper training. Both the
Atlantic and Pacific fleets per
formed only the routine work in
eident to target practice and en-
gineering competitions"
SHORTAGE OF FUEL.
Gunnery-The shortage of fuel
has necessarily handicapped the
advance work in gunnery that
might be desired"
Personnel-Reductio In person
mel have seriously interfered
with the operations Of the fleet.
and combined with the shortage
Of fuel, made it extremely en-
barrassing for the Chief of Naval
Operations and the commanders
in-chief of the Atlantic and Pa
cific fleets"
OFFICERS RESIGNING.
Officers-There are available
only 4.aO0 of the $500 line Off
GERS required Ito officers the re-
duced operating force plan. with
the uncertain outlook for ad-
yancement. the depletion OF the

Maintenance OF Vessels in Con-
dition-"There is a deferred main
tenance in ships which must be
cleared up
Destroyers-173 destroyers OF
the first line are tied up ana
going to pieces because funds to
operate them are not available.
Submarine Bases-'Their equip
ment is deficient"
PROJECTS POSTPONED.
Projects-Many for the coming
wear "were reluctantly postponed,
not because they were not needed'
but because it was believed we
could not afford them
Communications Unsatisfac-
tory. owing to shortage of per-
sonnel and funds.
Charts-Owing to insufficient
funds. we still depend on foreign
nations.
Appropriations-T navy has
asked for only so per cent Of the
sums deemed necessary ny the
heads OF it's various bureaus.
CONGRATULATES SERVICE.
Secretary DENLY congratulates the
navy on its accomplishments de-
snite handicaps. The development
of aviation as an integral part of
the fleet, he points out, has been
an outstanding feature in naval
aeronautics. The catapulting of a
service type seapIane from the deck
Of the L. s. s. Maryland, according
10 the Secretary, lis a forerunner

type of surface ship. and the cata-
multi developed by the navy will find

the future"

Carnegie Court Coach
Cuts Squad In Half

PITTSBURGH, Dec. lS.-Coach
Ben Lubic, of the Carnegie Tech
basketball team, cut his squad in
half last night SO as to allow those
men not considered as varsity
material to visit their homes for
the Christmas vacation. The other
half will remain in Pittsburgh
throughout the week and work
out each morning in the Carnegie
Tech gymnasium.
This step was considered neces.
sary In order to better prepare for
the hard games confronting the
team during the second week of
the holiday period, when a trim will
be made into Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan, to meet the floor teams
of Du Pauw University, Butler and
the Michigan Aggies in ranid suc.
cession. All three of these colleges
poast OF line basketball teams and
VIII more than likely give the strong
Carnegie tossers a hard fight for
honors.
The Scotchmen are still of un-
certain yuality, due to the strin-
gent action of the faculty in hold
ing Captain Buckets" Bell on the
ineligible list. Bell is a wonderful
guard. Henry Dosey, the lanky
forward. and the leading point
scorer of the tri-State district, is
also on the ineligible list.
The teams trip will give follow
ers or basketball and football of
the Indiana. Ohio and Michigan dis.
tricts chance to see some of the
carnegie football stars.
