"But, in addition to the question o

ter which has been conclusive in de
tbe poiiey of the l n ted
"While the practice of nations, so
well illustrated by the practice of Aus

South African War, and the manifest
evil which would reeult from a change
f.f th:.* practice, renden compliance
with the suggestion of the Imperial
? ? rj Roj i] Government out of the -iues
tlon, certain assertions appearing in
\u.-t to-Hungarian statement as
grounds for its contentions cannot be
patted over without comment. These
on I ar? tubtintially as follows: 1
"i l I Tha? the exportation pf trmt
and ammunition from the United

vented 'when this traffic assumes such
a form or such dimensions that the

Hague Rule Not Violated.
"As to the a--, mon that the ex

govi rnment presumes that reference

"Manifeetlj ;he only ground to

? "With reference to the asserted in
consistencv of the course adopter by
th government in relation to the ex
p, .-...tioti of arms and ammunition, and
that follow in not allowing supplies
to be taken from its ports to ?hips of
war on the high seas, it is only neces?
sary to point out that the prohibition

the principle that neutral territory I

"Furthermore, thi? government is
unaware that any Auatro-Hungar'tan

Opinions of Text Writer?.
"In view of the positive assertion in
the statement of the? Imperial and Royal
Government as to the unanimity of the
opinions of text writers as to the ex?
portation of contraband being unneu?
tral, this government ha? caused a care?
ful examination ?>f the principal au?
thorities on international law? to be
maile. A.? a result of this examination
it has come to the conclusion that the
Imperial and Royal Government has
been misled an 1 ha.? inadvertently made
an erroneous assertion.
"Less than one-tilth of the authori
? - ? Consulted advocate unreservedlv
the prohibition of the export of con?
traband. Several of those who eon?
? ? ite this minority admit that the
practice of nation? has been other?
wise. It may not be inopportune to
direct particular attention to the dag?
laration of the German authority, l'aul
Einicke, who >'ate? that at the he
pinning of a war belligerents have
never remonstrated against the enact?
ment of prohibition! on trade in cen?
traban?!, bul addl that 'such prohibi?
tions ma..' h. eonaidered as violation?
of neutrality, or a; least a? unfriendly
if they are enacted during a war
with th? .?:?" -e to close unexpectedly
1 the sources of supply to a party which
heretofore had relied on them.'
"The government of the Unite,1
States deems it unnecessary to extend
further at the present time a consid?
eration of the itatemeat of the Au?
tro-Hongarian government. The prin?
ciple? of international law, the prac?
tice of nations, th? national safety of
i the United States and other nations
without great military and naval es?
tablishment?, the prevention of in?
creased armies and navies, the adop?
tion of peaceful methods for the ad?
justment of international difference?,
r.t d, rinally. neutrality itself, are op?
posed to the prohibition by a neutral
nation of the exnortation of arms,
ammunition or other munitions of war
to belligerent power? during the prog
re?? of the war"

MIDDIES DISMISSED

The report of the inquiry covers 4,
300 ptgei and i-? in two parts, the first
dealing with the Chartres against tha
midshipmen and the other with recom?
mendation* for improving the system
at Annapolis :n order to avoid a recur?
rence of the scandal. THe judge ad?
vocate treneral in submitting the re
t ort to Secretary Daniels lays emphasis
on the extreme leniency shown by the
court when there was the sligntest
doubt of guilt, and even when he ? ?*?
cused had actual examination papers in
his possession, hut could not be proved
to have known their true nature.
"Dope" System Hlamed.
The "dope" tyftea?, the court finds,
is the un<i?rlying cause of the whole
trouble. It has been the custom for
for students to "dope" the ??
emination in advance from hints
dropped by instructors, by comparing
the examination papers of prewous
ind in various other ways. In
? years, it is aaaerted, the system
had become to complex that it was
often dnrii-ul* to distinguish between.
legitimate and dishonest "dope." Some
of the MCUted midshipmen dec...red
they did not know the stolen papers
were ? examination pepers.
It has been charged that certain
nvd-hipmen. notably athletes and
those enjoying a high rating, have
bien ??-ro?- ! in obtaining
"dope*' from "Section
is also i of. The
? ar.? divid? ?tions, ..c
?? irding to scholarship, and men in
tl.e lower groupa tettiry that those ill
the higher sections are eotched by the
instructors along the lines of the ex
' amination.
The court recommends that the sec
lions be made up .n future alphabet!
?crlly; that instructors be prohibited
from frivinn out "dope." except in th?
firm of memoranda, which ?hull be
buted Impartially; that examina?
'. tion papers be kept locked in a
, instead of _ ? insecure draw?
ers, and that papers be numbered c?>n
: i. one is .abstracted
it will be n once.
Recommends Shorter Examinations.
These improvements in the system, it
?.. would do away with much of the
trouble. In addition, the court timls
that the practice of having instructors
with a knowledge of the questions on
the coming examination coach thei.
classes or groups of students is wrong,
! antl recommends that this be left to
i teachers who have no knowledge of the
j examination questions. The court also
menu* that the examinations be
shortened, so that a majority of th?
, s-.udent? woiald noi have to resort to
"dope" in order to have a fair chance
to pass.
The court was convened June 7, and
remained in session forty-five days.
