London, June 1s.-An American man
Of war is today the flagship of the
combined naval forces Of the United
States and Great Britain in Irish
waters, the scene of German U-boat
activity.
II was oficially announced late
today that Vice Admiral Sims, U.

complete charge Of operations In
these waters pending the absence Of
the British commander-in-chief. I'm
mediately upon the appointment. the
nag Of the American commander was
hoisted a. that Of the senior oficer

II was for q contingency such az
has now arisen that W. s. Sims was

head OF a naval mission TO co-ordi-

forces guarding Great Britain against
the submarine menace. In December,

Admiral Sims, when the British en-

No extended explanation was made
by the admiralty other than an unof-
ficial announcement that the honor
had been conferred
The compliment to the American
commander is generally construed as
presaging engagements with the u
boats OF the Irish coast within a very
few days.
1t has been no secret that Germany
has placed a generous bounty at the
disposal OF the submarine crews which
are successful in winging American
transports. Rear Admiral Sims allied
command is directly in the channel
where the U-boats have been active
and in the direct lane OF the cargo
carriers to the United States.

and the men can be moved as a unit.
Secondly. the work Of the New York

has satisfied the army authorities
that they have Sufficient ground work
for early appearance at the front.
Also. they can be better spared than
regulars who will be needed In this
country for training the draft-army.
President Wilson is expected within
the next two days to issue a procIama-
tion setting a date for the draft and
establishing the exemption machinery.
He has all the data compiled by army
