Will Adopt Method Used in nrltlsh and French Armies. WASHINGTON'. Feb. . To Insure prompt Identification of enlisted men who msy b killed or wounded, a num bered tag system similar to that in the Rrlti.h d French armies has been utnni.li Kv the War Department. Adjutant-General McCain announced tnnls-ht that a number would be stamped on the metal identification tag ...h aolrtier ia reauired to wear and that a similar number win it piacea nnnA.it. the man's name In the ir Ii.n.rtiTient roster. The new system will be put Into ef fect February Is and thereafter an men entering tha service will be given numbered tag when enrolled. By this arrangement the department hopes that ther will be no possibility ot oi floJala not being able to Identify sol dlers bodies because of Blank tags each aa worn bv some of the men who went down on the I uscania. New. disoatchas today said Diann tan were found on the bodies Of 44 men washed ashore, although Army regulations require that the soldier's name must bo stamped on the tag. even though he ia not asalltned to an or ganisation. When he Is assigned, regi ment and company designation and his individual number In that company ia to he added Immediately to the other side of the tar. The new identification system nas been in preparation for some time, and was careruliy worxea out oy me au-Jutant-General. Extreme care has been taken to obviate any doubt as to the Identity of a soldier who may be killed ne wnunded Consecutive numbers will not oe s-tven men of the same surname. The numbers will never be changed and will never bo assigned to other men. Th numbers will start at 'One ana continue without limit, and no alpha betlcal prefix or affix will accompany them. Blocks of numbers will e anonea br the Adjutant-General to General Pershing, department commander, com manding officers of divisional camp, ports of embarkation and recruit depots. Th department thinks it unneces sary to number officers and civilians In the service, but should it b deemed necessary later the process will be In dependent of the enlisted men. The British number neither otricers nor civ lllsns. The French number officers, but not civilian. As It wlirtake some time to number soldiers' records at th war Depart ment, commanders hav been instruct d to Include in' casualty reports the full name, grade and organization ot ach man reported, as well as his num ber after numbers have been assigned.

Rankin, Chief Deputy, Is Placed in Charge of Office Pend ing Regular Appointment. Statement Is Issued. Clarence I. Reames, Federal prose cutor for Oregon, retired yesterday fol lowing the receipt of news from Wash ington that his resignation ari United States Attorney had been accepted. Fed eral Judges Bean and Wolverton im mediately joined in appointing Robert R. Rankin, chief deputy under Mr. Reames, to serve' as United States At torney until a successor to Mr. Reames has been formally appointed and con firmed. - - The resignation of Mr. Reamea had already been reported unofficially. It was filed at Washington about two weeks ago and Its acceptance was de ferred bo that he could close a number of important matters pending in his of fice. Mr. Reames was serving his sec ond terra, which would not have ex pired until June 1, 1931. His purpose in quitting the place was to enable him to accept appointment as special assist ant to the Attorney-General. New Appointment Expected. The appointment of Mr. Reames to that position is expected today. Until it has been made, Mr. Reames will not discuss the nature of the work in which h will be engaged. Neither does he know where he will be stationed, al though he expects to assist in handling the increased volume of business in the Attorney-General's office resulting from the war and the enforcement of the many Federal statutes in connection therewith. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, foN lowing the announcement . of Mr. Reames' resignation and the appoint ment of Mr. Rankin as hit temporary successor, Judge Bean administered the. oath of office to Mr. Rankin, who will formally, assume charge of the office this morning and name his assistants. It is with feelings of regret that L learn of your resignation," said Judge Bean, addressing Mr. Reames. "I ap-. predate the work you . have done at United States Attorney and. know, how ably you have discharged the duties of the office, you have greatly lightened the work of the court and I sincerely hope you will find your new employ ment most. pleasant." - - Reamea Issues Statement. Mr. Reames yesterday made the fol lowing statement regarding his resig nation and his reasons for that action: I was advised by the Attorney-General two weeks aero that in his opinion the tims had arrived when I could be of better serv ice to the Government in the capacity, of special assistant to the Attorney-General, and was asked if I would accept the promo tion with the iindenitanding; that the -new i tv wuuia oa( lusiwriy wttr work .uu that It would be . TTecessary-for-tpi. to at least temporarily give up my official, resi dence in the state of Oregon. I replied that I was willing to go anywhere and per form any duty that the department be lieved would be of assistance to the uov ernment at this time- Accordingly and- In order that I might - accept the Dew appointment, I have tendered for Oregon and have Just been advised that the resignation has been accepted, effec tive at the close of business today. The aDDOintment of a united States At torney for Oregon will be made by the Attorney-General and undoubtedly upon th. recommendation of Senator Chamberlain. The only thing that will be taken into con sideration in the matter of the new ap- . pointment will be to secure the best Quali fied lawyer in the stats who Is willing to make the sacrifice at this time and accept the appointment. It is with w feeling of regret that I sever my official residence in Oregon, for I was born in Oregon and have lived my entire life here. I have felt, however, that in response to the request that was made upon me there was no other course to pursue than the one I have taken. Hsney May Get Place. Speculation as to Mr. Reames' suc cessor was only increased yesterday by the announcement of his resignation. As nearly as can be ascertained the sit uation is this: -Senator Chamberlain has tendered the appointment to Bert E. Haney, ex-chairman of the Demo cratic State Central Committee. Haney is not inclined to quit his law office for the job, although he may accept the ap pointment. If Haney finally turns down the offer, it is understood Cham berlain's second choice is John H. Stev enson. The claims of Mr. Rankin, Isaac Swett and Judge Samuel White, chairman of the Democratic State Cen tral Committee, however, are ' being strongly urged.
