the bombardment of Antwerp and the
retreat from that city, the kaiser di-
recting his various armies and other
realistic and characteristics camp and
trench scenes at the front.
The pictures, giving the German
side of the gigantic struggle, are said
to show the plain truth and to depict
the strife as it really is. The films
have been shown in many cities and
We're received there as among the most
remarkable ever exhibited.-Adv.

3 new ADMIRALSARE named
Fletcher, Howard and Cowles Ap-
pointed by President Wilson as
Heads of U. s. Navy

Washington, March 11.-President
Wilson yesterday designated the three
new admirals of the United States navy
provided for in the naval appropriation
bill. They are:
Frank Friday Fletcher, commander
in-chief of the Atlantic battleship fleet
now in Cuban waters.
Thomas b. Howard, commander-in-
chief of the Pacific feet, now on the
Pacific coast.
Walter G. Cowles, ommander-in-chief
of the Asiatic fleet at 0longapo, Philip
pine Islands.
Secretary Daniels yesterday after
noon sent cablegrams to the three rear
admirals informing them of their desig-
nation for this rank, directing them to
assume the duties and to hoist the flag
of admiral on March 10, IL and IL, re-
spectively. Thus Admiral Fletcher be-
comes the senior in rank, Admiral How
ard the next senior and Admiral Cowles
the junior. Admiral Fletcher hoisted
his new flag to the mast of the dread
nought Wyoming, at Guantanamo, yes
terday afternoon.
This flag has a navy blue back
ground, on which four stars are ar
ranged like the points of a diamond in
the centre of the pennant. When this
new flag went up it took the place of
the blue flag with two stars, the rear
admiral's flag, that Admiral Fletcher
has previously been displaying.
Secretary Daniels announced yester-
day afternoon that three new vice ad-
mirals to serve as second in command
of these fleets would not be named
until later in the summer
With the exception of Admiral Dew
ey, who enjoys rank unique in the
navies of the world, that of admiral of
the navy, the only other American ma
val officers privileged to hold the rank
of admiral were Farragut, from 1866
to 1870, and d. d. Porter, from 1870
to 1891.
Admiral Dewey is admiral of the
Navy" by virture of specific act of
Congress and. he holds this title for
life. Fletcher, Howard and Cowles are
admirals "in" the navy and further
more they hold this rank only while
serving as fleet commanders. Admiral
Dewey, of course, outranks them.

Combing Won't Rid
e Hair of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. TO do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight. and by morning
most, if not all, of your dandruff will be
gone, and three or four more applica-
ton will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druf you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous. glossy, silky and soft. and look
and feel a hundred times better.
Yeu can get liquid arvon. at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work.--Adv.
