Much Advice Offered
The regulations probably win be
materially modified before they are
finally adopted. The President Is re-

Washington, June 3.-John Barrett,
director of the Pan-American Union,
in an address delivered to-day at a

He added:

Admiral Sims said he was glad OF

battle, and 20 voice the sympathy OF
the American navy and the American

What those men died for, continued
the admiral, was perhaps not at first

and there was the announcement OF
President Wilson to show that the
United States was prepared to go to
any lengths in the fight for liberty and
