tlif man primarily rosponsildo for the
wholi' si'andal in coniu'ction with tho
last annual examination.
jVIiilshipman Moss, thi> admiral as-
siTltd. was bciiiK supported in his
plea for I'lemeney by two I'nited
Slates Senators, a reproseiitalive in
Congress and tw'o lawyers. If surh
farces, said the superintendent, were
permitted to control in such a case
il would be possible to maintain a
standard of discipline in the Xaval
Academy.

The admiral said he refrretted very
much to have to testify concerning a
conversation with Robert Moss, father
of Midshipman Moss, and a member
of counsel for the accused midship
men, which compelled him to mention
the name of the naval ofl'iccr.
-Mr. Moss told me, said Admiral
Fullam, "that Surgeon McDowell,
whom he (Moss) had defended in a
civil case, had assured Mr. Moss that
he would look out for his son,” Moss
had told the admiral that he did not
wish to make charges against McDow
ell or anyone else, but he expected
the belief that the papers claimed to
have been received by Midshipman
Moss from an anonymous source were
sent to his son by some ollicers. Sur
geon McDowell, (he admiral said, was
mentioned in tl.at connection.

parts. It was legititinate. he s;iid to

British and Russian military opin
ion is that the .Austro-liernians, after
their big efforts, whiih regaineil for
them the greater part id’ (ialicia. have
about exhausted themselves, and the
view is expressed that they soiui will
have to fortify a line on which they
can withstand the Russian counter
offensive. which already has made it-
silf fell on the lower San.
If the Russian positions really were
dangerous, these authorities say the
allies long ago would have taken the
offensive in the west to relieve the
pressure on the eastern from.
