SEGRETARY DEKBY ISIMrs. Brimmer's Mother Says
SEVERE II' HIS REBUKEjDaiighter Is Legally Wedded!
OF ANNAPOLIS MIDDIES To Professor John P. Tiernan!
Following Army-Navy Game
, Saturday Many of Them
Got Gloriously Drunk.
INVESTIGATION ORDERED;
Steps Will Be Taken to Insure
, Against Any Such Prac
tice In the Future.
.WASHINGTON', Nov. " .'7. Midship
men, from the Naval academy who cele
brated, over-indulgent ly after the an
nual Army-Navy football (fame Satur
day were held up to public scorn today
by Secretary Denby in one of the most
Stinging rebukes ever administered by
a secretary of the navy.
Many members of the corps, Mr.
Deifby declared, not only disgraced
themselves and the uniform but their
conduct at a ball which followed the
game in Philadelphia brought such
shame upon the academy itself as it
never had known before.
The secretary said he did not know
how many of the midshipmen "drank
heavily," and was convinced that the
Ijreat majority conducted themselves
with propriety. lint he added that
enough of them hail failed in their
duty "to bring shame upon all.' He
announced that an investigation would
be begun at once, and that stops: would
be taken to insure that "such an oc
currence, will never be repeated."
None of the guilty were named in
the secretary's indict incut, nor did it
apiiear certain tonight that the depart
ment would tind it possible to single 1
out any individual midshipmen for pun
islimcnt. It was indicated that the
inquiry probably would take the direc
tion of a general effort to establish
what the conditions were that, made the
incident posible, and that any discipli- ,
nary action probably would fall upon ,
the" entire Annapolil establishment in;
such a way as to keep the corps here j
after within more stringent limitations.;
Cadets' Conduct 0. K.
Both Secretary IVuby and Secretary
Weeks of the wnr department, together '
with many of "Hie" highest officers of,
the ormy and navy, attended the game
in Philadelphia, but it was said today
that the war department had no infor- ;
matiou that any of the cadets from '
West Point conducted themselves im
properly. The cadets did not remain
for the opening's festivities.
Still another spectator at the game
was Acting Commissioner Jones of , the j
prohibition bureau. lie likewise do
dared be had observed no violation of;
the Volstead law and had taken no i
steps to investigate reports that the ,
PUimi mi'i m, .n ........... ,
...-..(.. I.H.1I I.CiL-Kll
liroken . lie nun-
eated, however, that State
I 'v., di I nt ion i
Director Davis, of
ablv would make
Pennsylvania, prob
an investigation on
his own initiative .
Secretary Dciiby said in response to
inquiries that be would not bring up
at the cabinet meeting tomorrow the
question of the relationship between
the midshipmen's conduct and prohibi
tion. He drew a sharp line of demar
cation, and said that tin' investigation
to be conducted would be based on a
matter of military discipline entirely.
Denby's Statement.
Secretary Denby's tati at follows:,
''My attention has been called to the'
misconduct of a number of midshipmen
from the naval academy on Saturday
night last after the Army Navy game.
1 have no desire to minimize iu any j
way the fact that many of the midship
men did disgrace themselves and bring,
disgrace upon the naval academy for I
Lniiw it to bo true. I am shocked be-
vond measure that such fhinis could i
have occurred. The mi conduct on that ;
occasion was as far as I know the most i
flagrant that has ever been charged ;
against the nedomy. How many mid-I
chipiiien drank heavily, I do not know.
The whole regiment was -in Philadelphia.
Only a relatively small proportion of!
the regiment attended the ball. Of.
thin proportion 1 think the great ma
jority conducted themselves with pro
priety. Hut enough failed of their duty
to their uniform and to their country
to bring shame upon all. Such an oc
currence will never be repeated for
HUfh steps, as are necessary will be
taken to make it impossible in the
future.

I FRANCE INTENDS TO
I PAY HERSELF IN GERMANY
j PARIS, Nov. 28. (By" the Amo
! cisted Press) The intention of
! France to "pay herself" in' Ger
many comes before a full meeting
; of the cabinet today,
j A plan for direct action through
the seizure of part of the Ruhr
district and absolute control of the
French section of the Rhienland,
which was considered at yesterday's
meeting of ' military and civil au
thorities at the Elysee palace, will
be submited for final approval.
There is no longer much faith here
in any inter-allied solution of rep
aration? question, even though the
Brussels conference is held.
Marshal Foch and Major General
Buat, the French chief of Staff, are
understood to have told President
Millerand and Premier Poincare at
yesterday's meeting that a plan for
expanding the military occupation
of the rights bank of the Rhine had
been prepared with the utmost care
and that it could be executed within
24 hours notive.. M. Tirard, the
French high commissioner, said that
civil administration of the territory
occupied by France en the left bank
of the Rhine coud be immediately
take over by competent French au
thorities. This program would be applicable onlv
after January l.", for (.'eriuany now has
a moratorium until the end of December
and the hirst payments under the exis
tug scheme of reparations, no win su.J
pension would be dut in the middle of
Jauary. Germany's failure to. mod this
would in the opinion of the French,
automatically give them the right to aft
Premier. l'.uiiu;iio 'ji purpue iu. hi .ap
peal to Ihe nation last Sunday to sub
merge party reelings in "sacred union
iu support of the givciumeiit is
seen.
The drastic program of action natur- j
1 1 - hinges upon the outcime of the Hrus- '
sols conference, but there is such doubt I
that that meeting would reach a sat- I
lstactory decisnoii on the reparations ;
ipiestiou or that, if will even be held, that i
the French think it wise to prepare now' i
for an eventuality which ninny thin; j
is reasonably certain of heme; laced a
t he end of t he year.

most vulnerable spot. This is specific:! I- I
ly stated in apparently inspired reports I
of yesterday's L'lysoe meeting, given on
ly to Crouch newspapers. In those ar- :
tides, it is explained that action in the
Itnhr would be designed "to strike the I
Jiaidest. blow at the interests of the
great beads of Ciorman mining and metal j

LESSONS OF LATE WAR
Must
Look Cold, Hard Facts
In Face and Not
Forget.
WAR NOT FORGOTTEN
Declares That World May Be
Engaged In Other
Big Wars.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 2S.
An appeal to the nation to "look eolif,
hard facts in the face and not forget our
obligations in the blind hope that we
may not again engage in armed eon
llict", marked an address delivered hem
today by General Pershing under the aui;
pices of the American
iX'fenso aocietyi
! ' ' A t, present
I indications but
we do not see definite
none of us tan tell
I whet her we
or twenty
said. "If
shall have war in five, ted,
years," General rcrshin
we kueiv now to u certainty
conflict would come in twen-.
that a ruled
ty years, there vvpuld be an immediate
demand for preparation. Yet that I
the approximate interval that we haw'
l:'d in the past between major wars.
There is no reason to think that the im
mediate future win bring about a cessa
tion of war even though it was naid
that no entered the world war to brjugi
about the end of war".
(ieueral Pershing devoted. most of hi
address to discussing the vnlue of, mil
itary training as a school of good fit-
i.enship, making reference to the find
ings of the recent educational conference
i:i Washington. The conclusions of tluit
conference, he sail, were' that the traiti
mg giviu in the reserve element of tin'
army and at ciciliuu eauipa "eonstitutu
an effective machine through which much
can be done not only to benefit tlw
individual from the. standpoint of lm
physique an' self dicirdine, but from
the standpoint of his relations to the'
government that protects him and which
he is under oblgations to defend."
The' chief of MafE stressed agniu draft
jstatistios that" show fifty per etmt of
I ih" young men tailed out during the war
'o have been phys.li'aal.v sub-norma!,
i larg. iy due to defects curable by proper
.training and that one fourth of the per- .
sons cxatvuied were "unable to- read an!
Iwriteour common language, and that
I more than 10 per cent cannot even suc
Icessfully sper.lt laiglish''.
' "That means", General Pershing eon-'
i tinned "that sotiie P),000,00(l (of the
American people) do not know our
tongue. We cannot avoid the conclusion
that we are losing our baIam;o and . our
own self respc-t unless wo attack the
i probhim vigorously. . .
J " I do urt suggest military training
'as a cure for at! civic ailments, but I
firmly believe- that it inculcates idenU
of honor and duty iu our young men
that must constitute ti most valuable
national asset." j
General Pershinj said that if the army
wa to Hiieoeeed in "spreading the ben
efits of the training offered it will only
be through the co-operation and support
of the people "i During the present year
he said, expenditure ou all phases of
the military establishment ran "a lit
tle more than two dollars ir capita,"
whio hi ompared favorably with pre-wf
expenditures, all things considered. , . It
was to Is- hoped, the general said, th.it
it would soon be practicable to furni'i
military training to greater numbers of
men every vear, adding;
j "The sound mentality, built ufSon the
.'.-.nidation of u clean, strong physique,
is in itseif a inean$ of defense; but evei
with this advantage it is idle to buill
up a defense svstcm and maintain it at
lever so luxurious a cost uuless we incul
cate loyalty in the hearts of the peopw .
ami unify their aims and purposes."
