When a German soldier falls in bat
tie he is identified by little metal
disk which he carries. This disk bears
a number. and this number is tele-
graphed TO Berlin. There the soldiers
name is determined. This system is
as effective as everything else connect

The British use an aluminium disk

The japanese system is similar, each
soldier wearing three disks, one around

WILSON NAMES ADMIRALS.
Fletcher, Howard and Cowles Take New
Rank.

Washington, March l2.-Under the
new law creating the grade OF admiral
in the United States navy, President
Wilson Wednesday designated as admir-
ais, Rear Admirals Fletcher, Howard AMI
Cowles, ommanders-in-chief respectively
of the Atlantic, Pacific and Asiatic fleets.
Secretary Daniels at once cabled Ad-
miral Fletcher. now with the Atlantic
feet at Guantanamo, Cuba, to hoist hrs
flag wednesday and thus become senior
IN rank. Admiral Howard was ordered
10 hoist his flag yesterday, while Ad-
miral Cowles in Asiatic waters, will as
sumo his new rank to-day.
with the exception OF Admiral Dew
ey, who enjoys a rank unique in the ma
yies of the world that'of admiral Of the
navy" said Secretary Daniels Wednes-
day night, "the only other American
navy officers privileged to hold the rank
of admiral were Farragut, from 1856 to
1870, and D. D. Porter, from 1870 to
1891"
Mr.. Daniels said that the selection Of
the three vice admirals and the chief Of
operations provided for in the new law
has not yet been considered.
The new admirals will fly blue flags
with four stars. They hold their az
vanced rank only so long Ms they con-
tinue as fleet commanders. II detached
for other business they will return 20
their former grades and salaries. Their
promotion is expected to do away with
embarrassing situations which have arts
en- heretofore when American rear adj
mirals with superior naval strength have
not been able to take supreme command
OF a situation in foreign waters because
of the presence OF an admiral or vice
admiral Of some other navy.
Admiral Fletcher was promoted to rear
admiral in October, 1911, and has been
ommander-in-ehief Of the Atlantic fleet
since September, 1914 As a division
commander he was for many months
senior naval officer on the Mexican east
coast and directed the occupation Of
Vera Cruz.
Admiral Howard was promoted TO rear
admiral in November 1910 and in Feb
ruary, 1914. was assigned as command
er-in chief Of the Pacific fleet Since
that date he has been almost continu
ously in west coast Mexican waters.
Admiral Cowles WAS promoted rear
admiral in January, 1911 and was trans
ferred last year 20 the Asiatic feet as

luncheon in honor of the bride-to-be,
Miss Clara Aldahl, and six guests were
present. The color scheme was pink
and white, carried out in every little
detail. The dining table was espec-
tally pretty and suggestive, a large
doll, dressed as bride, forming the
centerpiece, while narrow pink rib
bons led to smaller dolls dressed as
bridesmaids, in pink, at each guests
place. Dainty little place cards in
pink and white, heart-shaped nut cups
in the same color, and the candlesticks
holding pink candles, all added to the
beauty of the scene. Mrs. Tnompson's
two little daughters, dressed in white,
with pink sashes, served the three

spent in conversation and in hemming

Rate Means Much
to Potato Growers

Ever since last spring the secretary
Of the North Dakota commission at the
San Francisco exposition has been
striving to secure for the potato grow
ers of North Dakota freight rate on
carlots of potatoes from North Dakota
to the coast that was In keeping with
rates given other middle west states.
It was an uphill job, because there had
never been carload of potatoes ship
ped to San Francisco from our state,
and the railroads had to be shown.
The secretary is now in receipt of a
letter from one of the leading rail
roads crossing North Dakota saying
that within IS to so days rate of 75c
per hundred weight in carload lots
will be in force over its lines. No
doubt the other lines traversing the
state of North Dakota will follow very
shortly with the same rate.
