ascribed by newspapers to him unless he
actually gives the statement is reason
able enough. On occasions since Admiral
Sims went to Europe to take charge of
the American naval forces, articles have
appeared in the public print and purport
ing to be the opinions of the commander
which surprised many people because of
their apparent candor and trustfulness.
For instance, it has been stated that Ad-
miral Sims idea of the way to end the
war was either this or that, the state
ments being made in all badness. Now
almost anyone ought to know that a
commander of the naval forces of such
nation as the United States would not
be expected to go about peddling his
opinions broadcast over the world, so
that they could be read by friend and
foe alike; yet these reports have come
out persistently. No wonder Admiral
Sims feels aggrieved

If London people were not so inquisi-
tive or curious there would be fewer cas-
qualities from the air raids by the Ger
mans; the trouble seems to be that the
inhabitants, eager for excitement or nov
city, rush out of their homes into the
streets or stand in places unprotected,
where they become victims of direct hits
or from fragments dislodged by the
bombs. After three years it would seem
that the excitement of an aerial raid
