WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-To in

ed men of the army who may be
killed or wounded, a numbered tag
system similar TO that in the Brit

adopted by the war depaI tment.
Adjt Gen. Mccain announced to-
night that a number will be stamp

each soldier is required TO wear one.
and that a similar number Will be
placed opposite the mans name in
the war department roster.
The new system will be put into
effect Feb. 2S and hereafter all men
entering the service will be given

this arrangement the department

The new Identification system has

the adjutant general. Extreme care
has been taken to remove any doubt
as to the identity OF a soldier who
may be killed or wounded. Con-
