New Haven, April 29--U. s. Sena- tor Hiram Bingham today announc- ed that, because of the large num- Der of applications he had received for appointments to West Point and Annapolis he had worked out plan which he expected would place the best possible material in the state in both academies.
 As the first step in the election of applicants, all candidates will be examined by a medical officer, com petent to give a regular examination for any officer In the army. The candidates must present a signed certificate as to their physical fit- ness. Senator Bingham pointed out that in the past many candidates have passed the mental examination of the army and navy academies, only to be turned down In the phy- sical examination because of flat feet and other defects.
 Senator Bingham will ask the IL. S Civil Service Commission to con- duct written examination during the latter part of October to test the mental and academic qualifica- tions of the candidates. In this sec ond step those who would be uh- able to pass the official mental en- trance examination to the two academies would be eliminated.
 In the third step. those who have passed the mental examination will be required to appear before a board of officers selected by Senator Bing- ham to submit to an oral examina- ton. This board will be composed of world war veterans.
 On recommendation of this board Senator Bingham will make ap. pointments for those who would be designated to take the official en trance examination later at Wes Point or Annapolis.
 The senator pointed out that 1T the past there has been a great dea of disappointment on the part 0 those who took the preliminary ex animation and failed to satisfy th' severe requirement of the officia entrance examinations.

 Paris, April 2o,-The establish ment of a gold standard by Great Britain will necessitate France talk ing the same step.

 It is generally recognized that great sacrifices will be required and 8 difficult period passed through be- fore French money can be put on a basis of parity with the dollar and the pound sterling, but fnanciers eX- press the opinion that the time has come when 1t must be attempted and Finance Minister Caillaux IS de- cIared to be of the same opinion,
