PROMOTION FOR FLETCHER.

With Howard and cowIes He Is to Be
Raised to Highest Position.
Washington, March Sin execution
of congressional authorization Presi-
dent Wilson will announce In few
days that the following commanders
Of American fleets shall have the title
and rank Of admiral:
Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletcher.
commander in chief Of the North At

Rear Admiral Thomas B. Howard,
commander in chief Of the Pacific fleet.
Rear Admiral Walter G.. Cowles,
commander in chief Of the Asiatic fleet.
Admiral Fletcher it will be recalled,
was for long time in control of the
naval situation in Mexican waters and
captured Vera Cruz last April. The
president will feel particularly de-
lighted to confer the higher rank upon
this officer because of the able and
diplomatic way in which he handled
Mexican affairs.
In statement Secretary Daniels
said: For long time it has been felt
whenever there were any Joint oper-
atoms between the navies of this coun-
try and Of other countries that the
American navy has not had the posi-
ton to which 1t Is entitled, because
other countries, some with much
smaller navies, have given higher rank
to the commanding officers. We have
now in the American navy in COM
mand of fleets no admiral. The adj
miral we have Is Admiral Dewey, who
is at the head of the general board
and does not go to sea. The confer
ence committee has agreed upon q

compelled to operate"
