A new naval signal code, or at least
a revised form of the present one, IS
to be introduced at once In the U.
Navy. II is thought that the old code
has become unreliable through the
fact that officers of foreign navies
have become familiar with the signals.
II is reported that the new code VIII
oe in use by the Pacific squadron.

Shenandoah has been wrecked at Mel
