AS a result it is confidently expected
that Secretary Meyer will make strong
appeal to Congress to act on the recon-

creation of the rank of vice admiral
Sound naval practice and a proper
sense of pride in the American navy will
be set out as the reasons for the recon-
mendation that vice admiral be pro-
vided for each of the three great fleets,
the Atlantic. the Pacific and the Asiatic.
If Congress sees fit to approve this rec
concentration II may be that when Regi-

thus be placed in position at least Of

gardng the friendly attitude of the rebels
toward foreigners has reached the state
