WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.-President

Ger, who at a recent dinner given in
London by the mayor OF that city de-
clared that If Great Britain ever were
seriously threatened she could depend
on every man, every dollar, every drop
of blood'' in this country, should be pub
licy rcprimanded.
''lIis offensc has been so conspicuous
said the president in his letter TO Sec
retary Of the Navy Meyer. directing the
reprimand. ''tbat the action OF the dc
partment in rcprovlnS ii should be equal
ly So
The president says that whenever an
officer OF the American navy is called
on In a foreign country TO speak In pub
lie so that what he says Will necessarily
be brought TO the attention OF the people
in other countries il is his obvious duty
10 avoid iDvidous comparisons and 10
limit his speech and his expressions OF
friendship for the country whose guest
he Is. TO language that VIII not Indicate
2 lack OF friendships toward other coun-
tries"
Commander Sims cannot escape cen
sure, the president holds. "on The ground
that what he said was mere expression
OF his personal opinion; under tho cir
cumstances. ho must speak as an OFF,
ciai representative and he should nave
known that the words he used would at
once call for severe comment III other
countries than Great Britain and might
involve this government in explanation
and disclaimer"
