1 A PETTY INSULT TO JEWISH STUDENT. AT NATIONAL ACADEMY. (Received June 15 at 10.20 p.m.) WASHINGTON, June 14. Two so-called scandals are causing a furore in the U.S.A. Congress and several senators are condemning the action of a graduation class at the National Naval Academy at Annapolis, for issuing a book commemorating the class in which the last page, containing the biography of a graduate second highest in the honour, of Jewish education, was perforated so that the huge page could be torn out without damage to the book. Charges are being made of racial and religious discrimination. Senator Sutherland sent a protest to the President (Admiral Wilson) of the Academy and called the act of “low down dirty trick." The U.S.A. Navy Department are investigating the matter. LIQUOR ON U.S.A. SHIPS. NEW YORK. June 14. A second affair that has excited U.S.A. Congress ifj a revelation that the U.S.A. Shipping Board vessels are carrying full lines of liquors and wines for the consumption of the passengers.
