MEYER AGAIN TO URGE
HIGH ADM|RALS' GRADE
Declares Necessity for Rank
Should Receive Immediate
Attention of Congress.

In order to raise the prestige and dig
nifty of the United States Navy to its
proper place among the navies OF the
world, Secretary Meyer said today 1t was
essential that provision should be made
by Congress for the revival of the grades
of admiral of the fleet and vice admir- al
and he will SO recommend in bis annual
report. He pointed out that in any com.
bined operations or international func.
tions where naval officers are present
the United States would take the lowest
place in rank"
The fact that the grades of admiral
and vice admiral do not exist in our
navy" said Secretary Meyer, is incon-
s1stent with the size Of our fleet and with
the dignity of this country. When ii is
realized that nineteen of the navies of the
world include at least vice admirals--
nine of them admirals-and Japan, Ger
many and Eng and admirals of the fleet
in addition. it is felt that this matter
should be corrected in our service by ap-
propriate legislation.
Necessity for Higher Grades.
THE necessity for admirals and vice
admirals for a properly administered feet
should receive immediate attention from
Congress. No provision is now made for
any except the lowest grade in flag rank.
that of rear admiral. The recognized
grades. in order, are admiral Of the fleet.
admiral. vice admiral, rear admiral. A
battle fleet should be commanded by an
admiral; vice admrals should command
squadr, ms; rear admirals should command
divisions Our great battle fleet is com
manded by rear adm mral, with four
other rear admirals under his orders.
This violates the principle of rank, which
Is that each separate degree of duty and
aut .ority, all depending one on the OTHER,
requires separate rank.
1t is not question of our naval
officers. as individuals, being placed in
inferior positions when they meet the
the eyes of other nations we put our
selves in the position of an inferior.
Need ShoWn by History.
History has shown that proper or
ganiZation. of an army or a navy re-
quires various grades.
1.-The fleets are much larger today,
with divisions and subdivisions, and
there is needed. for proper organiza-
ton. admirals, vice admirals and rear
admiralS, just as other nations have
them. Nineteen nations have ranking
naval officers above that of rear ad-
miral
I'VE have more vessels in commission
than most of the nations giving higher
rank to their officers; yet when our
fleets enter foreign waters our naval
officers are compelled to yield prece-
dence to ranking officers of smaller ma
tions This is not an indignity to the
man so much as to the United States.

to make such purchases for his own &C
count for sale by the company. The bal
ance OF the purchase price was paid by

husband sought her approval of the pic
ture in London shop, saying that II she
liked 1t he would buy 1t for her. She
admired the picture very much, and
considered 1t would be a valuable addi-
ton to her art gallery. The price paid.

derstood to have been $500.

versy. Later she visited Mr.. Fischer and

Mrs. Hutchins made deposition in
New York last Saturday, but thinking
she said, she could make better explana'
ton, she travelled to this city at much
personal Inconvenience.
The witness said her husband on his
return from Europe. after buying the
picture, made out a deed of gift, setting
forth the contents Of premises 1908

wife, In this list, it was stated, the
Gainsborough picture was enumerated.
