London, june 3.-Vice-Ad-

speech today in Kingsway at a
meeting to commemorate the
Battle of Jutland. He referred
to what he characterized as his

in the London Guildhall on the
occasion of the visit Of the
American fleet in 1910. At that
time, he said, every ship, every
dollar could be counted on by
England if she was ever men
aced by a combination of ma
tons.
Admiral Sims continued:
To-day that prophecy is be-
ing realized, and I trust that if

ours the American navy will
prove itself equal to the glori-
Gus traditions of the British
