CUT NAVY BUT
 BOOST EFFICIENCY
Theme Of Newport Academy
 Commencement Address

Newport, F. l., May 29 (AP)--- Rear Admiral C. s. Williams, prea- dent of the naval war college here, in addressing the gra duating classes of 1925 today, bespoke increased ef- flciency and skill of the departments personnel to offset the reduction of the navy's strength occasioncd by the armament conference and the fed cral program of ecohomy.
 "The natural distaste for armed conflict and the desire 10 ensure lasting peace which have arisen in the minds of men since the world war tend to discourage military and naval preparation" Admiral Vii Hams said. There is being eridenc- ed strong desire to reduce arma- ments. The conference for the iin itation of armaments made drastic reduction in our naval strength. In addition to this it has been found necessary by our government 10 adopt a policy Of strict economy in expenditures. The army and navy must, of course. bear their share in this retrenchment. As s result Of all this the material strength of the navy has been reduced. To offset this there should be an increase in the efficiency and skill of the per sonnel."
 In reviewing the work Of the veal 1t the college, Admiral Williams re vealed that in the study of strategy special attention had been given tt the situation in the Pacific. Sudden officers also have been familiarized with the political and strategic inter national situation.
 Discussing the work Of the de. partment of .ta cites. he said:
 "An attempt has been made 10 make the course increasingly prac tical. Close touch has been sus, Itainod with the actual performances of the fleet Use has been made of a more complete study of the developments in ordnance, en. rineering, ship construction and aviation.
 "A detailed study of the effect and tactical value of vertical and hon. zontal armor penetration and of tar get angles has been made. A study has been made of the advantages and disadvantages of fighting gun engagements at different ranges"

BRICKLEY FREED
 AFTER LONG TRIAL
Former Harvard Star Not
 Guilty of Forgery

Springfield, Mass, May %, (AP)-- Charles E. Brickley former Harvard football star who was found not guilty on indictments charging .forg- cry and larceny by jury in superior criminal court here last night, was paying the penalty of reputation" in standing trial declared Attorney Joseph E. Eli, chief defense counsel, in his plea 10 the jury.
 Attorney Ell declared that Brick ley was merely unfortunate in haV- ing been a trader through a local brokerage house when 1t ran into financial difficulties and that 1t was his fame as an athlete and pictures que American figure that led to his apprehension for complicity in a shady deal of which he was inno- cent.
 District Attorney Wright also paid tribute to Brickley's athletic prowess and fight to win an education/by working his way through school and college, but maintained that his edu- cation, "charm and personality physical proWess and mental capa- city" made his alleged act all the more eprehensible.
 Brickley was charged with forg- ing 50 shares of Bigelow-Hartford Carpet company stock. owned by w.. J. Hines of Thompsonville, Conn.,, and using the stock as collateral for a loan, AS the only defense witness he testified that the forging and se- curing of the loan was done by members of Gibson and company defunct brokerage house of this city through which he traded, Brickiey left for his home in New York last night.

ty the effect upon the public mind would have been mischleyous in- deed.
 The point that President Harding exceeded hts power In transferring control of naval oil reserves from the navy 10 the interior department was a new wrinkle in the controyer- sy brought 10 the fore by the courts decision. The blame for such action, however, primarily rested with Mir, Fall who induced the president to make the transfer so that he could consummato the successive stages Of the deal with Mir, Doheny and earn his sloo,0o0.
 The oil interests involved have acted like guilty persons from the time the scandal was thrown un- der the public spotlight. EN cry tcchnicalily under the law was re- sorted to; oil men prominent in CO., related deals left the country; q vast Dohcny propaganda was at- tempted and many newspapers were flooded with cleyerly written stories of nohenys alleged aItrusm to bo Of srrvice 10 his country in making use of the naval reserves, In the California showdown, however, this structure of justification fell 10 the ground like a chiids toy block castle and the rights of the people were vallantly maintained,
 There is small chance that the upper courts will reverse the juIg. ment. Doheny will have to return his winnings which the court trcnchanuy declared were predicat- cd upon fraud.

Washington. May 39.---Not even the biggest issues of international politics bother the state department as ii is bothered periodically by con- troyersios over the presentation" of American women at the royal court of St. James.
 Matters in dispute between gov ernments can be argued, ad- iusted. compromised. Trained men talk them over rationally There are rules and precedents to go by, Reason rules-at least some of the time.
 Reason has nothing to do with being "presented" at court. The American woman who wants to be presented" Just wants 10 be ore sented"--''because." The average American cant possibly imagine how a certain type does want to be "pre- sented."
 With a woman of that type it's an obscssion, a longing like the longing of the confirmed dope flend for his favorite drug,
 "Presentcd," that woman has lar. rived" socially. She can quit. For her death has no sting. She's &C., complished all things.
 "Cnpresented," her life has failed --ignominiously.
 Other than American women may be this way, too, l don't know. The Americans are the ones I observed, as q correspondent in London, where the presentation" fight always is on at the United States embassy whenever a court" is ahead.
 An eligible candidate for "presen- tation" must possess three qualihca- tions.
