 SELECTION OF ADMIRALS $

 The designation of the new officers will not affect the status of Admiral Dew ey, who will retain the title of Admiral of the Navy grade held in the past only by Admrals Farragut and Porter. The office of vice admiral was created shortly after the Civil war but 1t was allowed to lapse.

This frequently tas proved embarrassing when foreign yes sels visited ports of the United States or American ships were in foreign ports
 The chief of naval operations is an other new officer soon to be selected by Secretary Daniels. His duties will in- volve the use of the fleet Tn time of war. Secretary Daniels said today that the law creating the new offices would "enable q more thorough cooperation between the department and the general board of the navy to be effected while retaining the leadership of Admiral Dewey in the larger naval problems.

Washington, March 1.-The official text of Germany's reply to the Ameri- can note suggesting that Germany and Great Britain agree on . plan to lessen danger to neutral shipping in the war zone was made public here today. It follows:
 "The imperial German government have taken note with great interest of the suggestion of the American govern ment that certain principles for the conduct of maritime war on the part of Germany and England be agreed ping. They see the new evidence of the friendly feelings of the American gov ernment towards the German govern ment which are fully reciprocated by Germany.
 'It is in accordance with Germanys wishes also to have maritime war con ducted according to rules which without discrimination restrict one or the other belligerent powers in the use of their means of warfare and are equally con- siderate each of the interests of the neutrals and dictates of humanity Consequently it was intimated in the German note of the 18th instant that observation of the declaration of Lon don on the part of Germanys adver- saries would create new situation from which the German government would gladly draw the proper conclu- sions
 Proceeding from this view the Ger man government have carefully exam, ined the suggestion of the American government and believe that they can actually see in it a suitable basis for

 Speculation over the designation of the three vice admirals who will be second in command of the fleets centered about the names of Rear Admiral Caperton, next in rank in the Atlantic fleet; Rear Ad- miral Winslow, now at the Newport war college; Rear Admiral Knight president of the war college: Rear Admiral Mayo, commanding the first division of the At lantic fleet; Rear Admiral Mclean, com mander of the fourth division, and Rear Admiral fisse, aid for operations in the navy department

 The British artillery fire, which was weaker early in the campaign. now is stronger all along the line than that of the Germans. Once the correspond ents were permitted to visit the British line, everybody talked frankly concern ing the operations, and instead of the late starts and the long lunches. dinners and other functions which characterize such tours, they are usually awakened at 6:80 o'clock in the morning and kept going until at night, with the first-aid packages served out at the breakfast table.

replied the negro with the pocketbook "Ah would not deprive Ter of CT share
 And then an investigation of the con tents of the pocketbook disclosed that the bills were all of such large 1enom- ination and to the total amount of $500 that neither of the negroes had the necessary change to make an equal division It was then that the victim was called upon for little change
 Ellen Williams, whose cupidity had been aroused over the sight of the large bills. announced that she had no money but that she had some in the bank. The bills were again shown to the negro cook and it was impressed on her that if she got the right change her share of the money would be given to her at once. Not only that but Ellen Williams was assured that she could hold onto the pocketbook if she did not truth her companions. The last argu- ment convinced Ellen and she went to the bank and drew out $100, the amount of her savings for the past two years which she turned over to the two young negroes.
 1t was then that the negroes played with their victim. for they said
 "Sistah, y'u done told us whar VI. lives and we trust yo' wid de pock- etbook till termorrow when we comes for de right change. Sistah, yo' shore am CT good woman and we trusts yo '
 The negroes then departed with FL len Williams s100 for parts unknown and the negro cook on her arrival at her home discovered that the purse had been stuffed with Confederate money which even in it's palmiest days had a dubious value.
