NEW NAVAL DIRECTORY
SEPARATES OFFICERS
Later -Four Lists VIII Appear With
Designation for ''War Duty"
if Required.
NUMERALS AND LETTERS.
Retired Personnel Of Navy and Marine
Corps to be Shown in Different
Sections.

The latest monthly Navy and Marine
Corps Directory shows separation of
the active officers of the navy and the
Marine Corps from those on the retired
list
The next dictionary will complete the
arrangement by having four lists Of Of
flcers and their addresses, separated as
follows: Active officers of the navy
retired officers of the navy, active Of
ficers of the Marine Corps and retired
officers of the Marine Corps.
That is in line with a plan of the
Navy Department for the preparation
Cf a war slate" to show the duties or
class of duties to which all officers Of
the navy and Marine Corps on the act
i've list are to be assigned in case of
war, and also the duties of those off
GERS on the retired list physically fit
and otherwise ave liable for service
In cases where retired officer is
physically able to perform active ser
vice there is assigned to his name a
combination letter and numeral refer
ring to the station and duty to which
he will repair IN the tire of war. Thus,
in the case of an officer to whose name
is attached the designation "R24" he
would, in time Of war, report for duty
at naval recruiting station No.24 which
by reference to the list of shore sta
tions, is found TO be located at New
York Every navy ward and station
bears its own desigGation-thus, M"
represents the naval intelligence,
"T2" represents the Naval Academy,
and "Y1t" represents the naval station
at New York.
In the list of navy yards and shore
stations are given under each yard and
station as usual the names of officers
on duty there. Every officer has a nu-
neral, 81" indicating that the officer
in time of war goes to sea duty. with
out waiting for his relief to report;
"2" indicating that the officer waits for
relief before proceeding to sea in time
Of war. and "3" indicating that the Of
ficer stays where he is on duty
At the end of the list at each yard
ors tation is a collection of signal num-
bers, indicating by reference to the list
of retired officers bearing corresponding
and identical signal numbers those re-
tired officers who will be attached
to that navy yard or station. Later.
as soon as the war slate is complete,
it is contemplated that active officers
shall carry against their respective
names a designation in some form. in
dicating the duty at sea to which they
will be assigned in time of war.
It is not expected that this viii be
developed sufficiently so that any par
ticular ship may be indicated, but the
designation will be to a feet or flotilla

OF
SPY IS PROBEO

Cleveland, Dec. 1. Federal and
county officers today were investigat-
ing a confession" which they say was
made to them in the Office of Prose
cutting Attorney CyFus Locher late
yesterday by DR.. E. W. Ritter, IN
which Ritter, is claimed to have told
of having knowledge Of plots against
munition plants in the United States.
Ritter was arrested on charge OF
passing a worthless check for $50 on
Miss Clare Darby. He is being isaeld
in $4,000 bail until the story federal
officials say he told can be probed.
Among the items in Ritter's alleged
confession was the claim that his real
name is Emerich w. Ritter Won Ret
taghe, son of former Austrian count
and a former officer in both the Aus
trian and German navies. Today,
however, Ritter denied to newspaper
men that he is the son of a count.
Ritter claims he is the inventor OF
'liquid fire." officers say and that he
has been experimenting extensively In
the local gas field.

women aided by five thousand poy

canvassing their own employees.
The petitions will be sent to WASH.

MRS. William Alexander, president
of the society, says the movement ls

LINE
IS GERMAN BASE

Paris Nov. 3O.-The remarkably ef-
fective system Of railways and tele-
graphs which the Germans have con-
structed to connect with Field Mar
shal ,un Hindenburg's forces along
thesRiga-Dvinsk front, Is described by
Charles Rivet, in dispatch to the
Temps from Petrograd. He says the
Germans have given full scope here
to their genius for organization and
that their railways have excited the
admiration of all who have seen them
These lines are brought from the
rear to the front in pieces like chill
dren's toys and Immediately linked
together. Thus a network OF rails ex.
tends behind the entire front. At the
same time they have constructed
three main lines from East Prussia
to the Riga-Dvinsk sector. These
lines have regular schedules and are
open to the public. There also are
electric tramways connecting the
small villages, notably around Ponie-
wesch.
Similar efficiency has been shown
in constructing telegraph lines In all
directions.
M. Rivet draws the conclusion that
the completeness Of this railway and
telegraph construction indicates that
the Germans intend to make the Riga
Dyinsk line the base for their pro-
jected advance on Petrograd.

FRU|7 7GROWER|S
BOOSTER OF FAIR
Hartman Says Exposition
Will Prove Of Value to
Entire Community
PROVIDES MEANS OF
SHOWING PRODUCTS
Nurseryman Would Have
Things Produced Here
Given Publicity

One of the men Of this community
who has been identified with the at
fairs locally for many years and Is II
close touch with its best interests
says that the proposed fair and expo
sition to take in all Of southern lows
and northern Missouri is step IN tne
right direction. This method OF ad
vancement was said to be the most
practical and ono of the most fai
reaching that Ottumwa and this com
munity could take up. The person In
terviewed was former Mayor S. p
Hartman, the we'll known tree and or
chard man who pioneered in orchard
ing in this vicinity and who makes
specially of promoting the growth
and cultivation of the best grades OF
fruits in this section with view tc
making Iowa and particularly thif
part of the state widely known for Its
various fruits.
Mr.. Hartman when approached
about the proposed interstate fair was
very strongly in favor of the plan anc
urged It's organization and promotion
in the hopes that it would be made
the really big thing that 1t should be
He believes that every line Of endeay
or In both south Iowa and north Mis-
souri, can find In the proposition some
thing whereby the things produced II
this community can be made known t.
and shown to the public.
Mr.. Hartman has specialized Il
nursery business and orchards. HI
has been an advocate for the more
general development Of the fruit prop
agation as one of Iowa's banner pro
ducts. Knowing from actual expert
ence that Iowa and this section of thu
country can and does raise very fint
fruit, and that this fact Is not as wei
known Us 1t should be, he can see th'
wisdom OF such movement as thu
proposed fair to give not only to thu
fruit growing but all agricultural pro
duct a means OF becoming widely
known. He believes that If all Of the
people OF this community knew thu
number and very high character Of thu
products, they would become booster'
not even second to Californians.
