London, May 4. The wearing of the Royal Cipher by Admiruls of the Fleet and of- ficers holding certain appoint- ments, about which a Feet Order was published in "The Times" on Saturday, came into use only dur- ing the late King's reign. It was in July, 1914, that King George signified his pleasure that his Cip- her should be Worn on the ' epaulette or on the plaited shoul- der-cord of the alguflette, or in the shoulder-strap of rank. But no or- der on the subject was issued be- fore the War broke out, and the matter remained in abeyance dur- ing hostilities.
