For Cadets
The Army l.
Holding Firm
TODAY To Its
Stand
WEST POINT. N. Y. Aug. 10

WEST POINT, n. Y, Aug. Ia
--tF1The Army was holding firm
today to its stand that there will
be no honorable discharges for
cadets found guilty Of violating
the military acaceuy's honor
code.
There has been ii strong move
ment. launched last week by
head football coach Earl Red
Blaik, to allow the accused cadets
to leave the academy without the
@tigma contained OF implied in
other forms OF dismissal.
A restatement Of the Army's
position came yesterday with an
official announcement that final
hearings should be completed
early this week on the 80 cadets
facing dismissal for cribbing on
examinations,
"The action we are to take has
been approved by the Depart
rnent of the Army and the Presi-
dent himself" said Colonel James
Leer. the acadeny's public in
1 formation officer.
/ West Point Superintendent Try
inc said that cadets admitting
| guilt under oath would be given
a chance to resign. Those refus-
ing 10 resign, he said. would be
discharged by administration
order.
An Army spokesman says that
! in either case. the cadets depar-
lures would imply neither hon
orable nor dishonorable condi-
tons"
Coach Blaik. who lost practi-
cally all Of his stellar football
/ team in the scandal. appealed
that the Army tighten the cadets
punishment by granting honorable
di7charges.
Ranking army Officers and at
least one attorney for an &C.
/ cused cadet joined in the coach's
plea.
Leer said that the two screen
ing boards now conducting hear
ings had completed individual
/ examinations OF about three
I fourths of the cases. The findings
were not disclosed.
! Each case will be referred Il
/ Superintendent Irving. who VIII
send his recommendations 10 the
Department of the Army
/ II is possible that the boards OF
the superintendent may acqui'
some of the cadets because o.
evtanusting circumstances.
Physical examinations, routine
for those leaving the academy
also are being given the involved
! cadets.
The accused cadets. housed in
! q special barracks but granted the
I full run Of the post. were restless

they might enter other colleges,
But so far, many of them, par

Wildlife Conference
On February 1924

For the first time in the long
history of Natural Resources Con.
serYatiOn, Wilmington and Della
( ware will be hosts to a wildlifq
conference -- the seventh annual
Wildlife Society, Northeast Wild
life Conference, at the Hotel Du-
Port, Feb. % and "a.
With the exception of the Joint
Black Duck Committee meeting
which will be held Thursday eve
ming, Feb. %, all sessions of the
tWO-day conference will be open to
the public. However, the Black
Duck Committee that has done
much to restore the black duck
along the Atlantic Coast, a .favorite
among waterfowlers, will give a re-
port to the conference and the pub
lie.
Most persons, unfamiliar with
the activities of such a Wildlife
Conference are under the impress
sion that it is just for the hunter
and angler. Such is not the case.
A glance at the agenda of the
conference, madeup by technicians
and those trained in Wildlife, soil.
water and forestry, will show that
tie panels and papers are lust as
much interested in better crops for
the farmer as they are for upland
game and waterfowl.
The conference, made up of rep-
resentatives from Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachus-
etts, Rhode Island, Connecticut.
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, and District of Columbia.
will go into detail on such prob
lens as will help tillers of the soil: 4:
marshland improvement for better
crops of muskrats; control of un-
desirable plants on farmland; grey
mice on the farm and their destruc-
ton; development of farm-fish
ponds; soil erosion. and forestry.
By attending this LwO-day confer
ence the farmer along with the
sportsman can learn much that will
help for a better farm crop and
more money in the pocket of the
farmer.
Most of these improvements that
accrue to the farmer cost him little
if anything in the outlay of money.
In large they are financed through
funds sderived by an excise tax
placed on sporting firearms and
ammunition, fish tackle. by the
federal government under the Pitt
man-RObertson and Dingell Acts.
In sport the spOrtsmen are paying
the bill
Of course the two day session is
not all devoted to helping the far
