New Vessel to Be Named Apache

The revenue cutter service bureau of the
Treasury Department year or two ago
adopted the plan of naming the vessels OF
the cutter service after Indian tribes, and
It is stated that the names of the older cut
tiers will be gradually changed to conform
to this plan. The first change to be made
is in the name Of the cutter Galveston.
The cutter Is being rebuilt at Cramps snip
yard at Wilmington, Del, and when she
goes into service will be known as the
Apache. The fact that there is a Galveston
in the navy list is an additional reason for
the changing of the name of the revenue
