AMERICAN SOLDIERS
KILLED MADE SURE
War Department Adopts
Tag System Now Used by
British and French
Armies

Washington, February S.--To insure
prompt Identification of enlisted men
| of the army who may be killed Or
wounded, numbered tag system SINH
| lar to that in the British and French
armies has been adopted by the war
department. Adjutant General Nc
Cain announced tonight that a num-
Der will be stamped on the metal iden-
LITIGATION tag each soldier is required
to wear and that similar number will
be placed opposite the mans name in
the war department roster,
The new system will be put into eff
feet February 2s, and hereafter all men
entering the service will be given a
numbered tag when enrolled. By this
arrangement the department hopes that
there viii he no possibility of officers
not being able to identify soldiers bod
les because Of blank tags, such as worn
by some of the mel who went down on
the Tuscania
News dispatches today said blank
tags were found on the bodies of a.
washed ashore. although army
regulations required that the soldiers
name must he stamped on the tag, even
though he is rot assigned to an organi-
zat ton. When he is assigned the num-
Der of his regiment, the designation of
his company and his individual number
in that company is supposed to be
added Immediately to the other side
of the tag.
The new identification system has
beea in preparation for sometime and
extreme care las been taken to OBJ
viate any doubt as TO the identity Of
a soldier who may be killed or
wounded. Consecutive numbers will not
be given men of the same surname
The numbers will never be changed,
and will never be assigned to other
men.
The numbers will start at 'Ane" and
continue without limit, and no alpha
betical prefix or affix will accompany
them. Blocks of numbers will be al
lotted by the adjutant general to Cen
eral Pershing's, department command
ers, commanding officers of divisional
camps, ports of embarKation and re-
cruiU depots.
The DEPARTMENT thinks it unnecessary
al present to number officers and civil
lians i'll the service, but should it later
be deemed necessary. the process will
lie Independent of the mum boring of
the enlisted men.
The British number neither officers
nor civilians. The French number the
officers. but not the civilians.
AS it will take sometime to number

and Grain From West

Washington, February S-Transporta-
ton priority for grain, flour, corn meal
and other grain products in western and
middle western producing states was
ordered today by Director General Nc
Adoo as means of fastening to mar
ket all grains and particularly the vast
accumulated stores of soft corn.
This corn composes as much as 40
per cent of the stocks in many sections,
and is threatened with rotting unless
rushed to elevators and dried
The order is intended also to insure
adequate shipments of grains to mills to
fill allied orders
Thousands of boxcars will be used for
the grain movement. and consequently
will be withheld from industrial ship
ments.
In addition to supplying more cars and
giving preferential movement, railroads
were ordered to have their station agents
in rural communities, and their traffic
agents, pers1 ually explain to farmers the
necessity of prompt loading and move
ment of their grain stocks. The preferen-
tial movement will be discontinued as
soon as the emergency Is past. The rail-
road administration announcement
specifies certain states to which the
preferential order applies, but officials
said 1t will be effective in others where
the need of prompt shipment is APP
parent to local railroad authorities.

4Y DEFEATED BY
LOUISIANA STATE
DIR. Str0ud's Boys Score a
80 to ~ Victory Over

The local "Y" was forced to bow be-
fore the superior playing of the scrappy
Louisiana State five last night in one
of the bitterest fought contests ever
staged at the Y. M. C. A. by the score
of SO to %. Louisiana's pass work and
goal shooting outclassed the locals.
The first half was a pretty duel and
the teams battled on even terms, but
the last half showed the superiority OF
the Louisiana boys in every department.

the Tigers, was the feature of the game.
He is one of the best forwards who mas

affair. Louisiana seemed to have lost

GUS times they We're caught loafing and
cost them several goals, but the second
half was complete change. They
started some pass work that swept the
locals off their feet and the Tigers had
an easy time of it.
The change in the Tigers line up
strengthened the team wonderfully.
Leopold, the giant center, went to for
ward, where he played a great game,
and Cavetr, the captain, took his otd
place at center Blanchard is fine
guard and should develop into a great
player with a little more experience.
The first half ended with the score
tied, 10 to 10, with both teams fighting
hard.
The locals played good game in the
first half but lost all their prestige in
the last half. Stapleton played a great
game for the Mitchell clan, while Wal
dron played a good guarding game ard
made several long shots that drew ap-
plause from the small crowd.
Captain Henely was off form the first
half and never recorded a goal, but

action will be postponed until next

Leader Gallinger today denied that solid
party action upon pending legislation is

upon their individual judgment.
Senator Thomas renewed debate in the
Senate with a speech asserting that the
war departments record should be
praised instead of condemnedfi and that
Secretary Bakers statement before the
committee was "a story replete with ac-
complishments." Opposing the war cabi-

est was evidenced by many vacant seats

ator Chamberlain, chairman of the mill
tary committee, sharply replied to crit
icism from Senator Lewis democrat. The
latter suggested that Secretary Baker
should have been called before the COM
mittee when it began it's inquiry, in
stead of when witnesses had presented
attacks Senator Chamberlain said the
committees procedure followed the ex-.
press request of the secretary. The mill
tary committee met today but did not at
tempt to consider the war cabinet meas
ure, nor continue it's war inquiry. Both
matters were postponed until next week.
when Secretary Baker is expected to
present information regarding available
army transport tonnage and also return
for cross-examination. Afterward the
committee plans to close its war inquiry

he did not contemplate hasty action

tee procedure. Its introduction has so
changed the situation that some sena-
tors preparing addresses to be delivered
next week against the war cabinet and

RAIL LEGISLATION TO.
BE CONSIDERED NEXT
WEEK IN CONGRESS
Administration Measure to
Carry Out Federal Con-
troll Coming Up in
Both Houses

Washington, February S-Consider-
alton of the administration railroad
bill will begin in both houses of Con-
gress early next week. The House in
terstate commerce commission today
ordered the measure reported to the
House. while the Senate committee
reported its draft yesterday. Both
chairmen plan to call the bill up Mon
day, though debate may not begin in
either house before Tuesday.
The drafts of the measure differ IN
two important details. That approved
by the House committee limits gov
eminent control to two years after
the war ends and gives the President
final authority in fixing rates. The
Senate committee draft provides Tor
termination of government control Is
months after peace is declared and
vests in the President authority to
initiate rates subject to revision by
the interstate commerce commission.
Senator Poindexter, republican, yes
terday presented a minority report In
the Senate and Senator Cummins, an
other republican member of the com
mittee, plans to make one Monday.
Several democratic members of the
House committee, including Chairman
Sims, may file minority views as to
the limitation of government control
in order to support the administra-
ton view that there should be no ar
bitrary limitation of time for govern
ment operation.
Among changes made in the bill to-
day before the House committee or
dered it reported was the elimination
of an amendment directing that until
otherwise ordered by the President the
operating revenues may be received
and expended by the carriers, but that
any net railway operating income in
excess of the standard return based
on the average income during the
three years ending June 80, 1917, shall
be paid into the federal treasury and
placed with the $500,000.000 revolving
fund.
The committee, however, approved
an amendment directing that any rail-
way operating income accruing dur
ing the period of federal control in
excess of the standard return shall
remain the property of the United
States.
