AMERICAN ADMIRAL
 LEADS ALLIED NAVY
SIMS IN GENERAL CHARGE Or FORCES IN IRISH WATERs-is
 ALLIED SENIOR OFFICER.
RESPONSIBILITIES ARE BIG
During Absence of British Naval Com mande r-in-Chief Vice Admiral Sims Takes Charge of the Allied
 Naval Forces.

Washington-A brief message from it's first news of the appointment Of Vice Admiral Sims to command the allied naval forces in Irish waters dur ing the absence of the commander of that district, The department has no information as to the admiral's new sponsiblities.
 The government has given Admiral Sims wide powers to enable him to meet any situation that may arise
 Much of his time has been spent in London and Paris, and advices are the first to indicate that he has been at sea with his ships
 The news led to much speculation as to what American warship he might be using as flagship. The only facts disclosed by the department have been that destroyers have been sent to British ports and the naval collier Jupiter to a French port with supplies.
 Tremendous responsibilities have been placed on Admiral Sims. The tale of torpedoed ships in Irish wa ters is an oft-repeated one. It has been said that even without the Amer ican vessels the British have had thousands of destroyers, submarine chasers of all sizes and kinds, mine sweepers, aircraft and every other known method of combating subma- rines posted in these waters in the effort 10 keep open the shipping lanes.
 All these forces now are under Ad- miral Sims. On him also rests prob ably the duty of arranging for the arrival of all vessels plying Irish wa ters.
 By some it is said England's action might have political effect in Ire land. where the situation is turbulent with the approach of the fish con vention period It might tend to show, it was suggested. that the Brit ish and American governments are n perfect accord.
 The text of the official British statement reads:
 During a short absence of the British naval commander in chief on the coast of Ireland. Vice Admiral Sims of the United States navy has hoisted his flag as allied senior off. cer in general charge of operations of the allied naval forces in Irish waters

Praise Presidents Address.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The news
papers of the United States generally
praise Wilson's address in the senate
yesterday. Following is the editorial
comment of three representative news
papers:
The New York World: "Our own
belief is that the president has enun-
ciated broad principles of liberty and
justice upon which alone durable
peace is possible and under which the
democracy of the world can ultimate
ly come into its own. The influence
which the presidents address exerts
upon Europe will depend in a very
large measure upon the influence
WHICH it eXerts at home, and its in
fluence at home will depend in a very
large measure upon the force that the
American people still attach to those
political principles which were once
the lifeblood of the republic"
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: "Presi-
dent Wilson's address is either a mon
umental mistake or an act that will
fill a flowing page in history.
It is likely to be construed as an ap.
peal in behalf Of the Teutonic powers,
although it is addressed to both alike,
for it follows so closely the uncom-
promising declaration of the allies
that 1t can hardly be considered less
than a reproof of the severity of their
demands"
Kansas City Star; "In the plan for
O league to enforce peace President
Wilson undoubtedly has presented to
the country lofty ideal and one that
must arouse the sympathetic atten-
tion of the world. While there can
be no disposition to take snap judg'
ment on such momentous question,
the Star cannot refrain from pointing
out now as it has frequently pointed
out in the past that the practical OBJ
stacles in the way of such a league
are so great as to seem insurmount
able"
