spect for that flag or that song. on this soil. he is an ingrate, or cravenly whelp. Something is wrong with him. He is not worthy to live with Ameri- cans. and he should be forcibly run out of the country. He is a traitor to his benefactor, Uncle Sam ,and cow ardly representative. of any people from which he may have sprung. This is no place for him.
 We have come to the end of pa- tience We have come to the point where argument Is out of the ques- tion. A man now is either an Ameri- can or he is not an American. And that, no matter from which land he may have elnisratcd. This is broad and great country. Its people are filled with a spirit Of tolerance and justice They do not ask for much in return for what they give. Nor does the nation. When these United States were unknown. when there were but thirteen colonies where now flourishes mighty country, English men went out and fought Englishnen that new form of government might be set up here,-a government of the people, for the people, and by the peo- pic. The nation expects that racial prcjudiccs shall now be submerged for the greater task at hand. It expects even that Germans should go out and fight Germans that the world may be made safe for democracy. The least 1t can expect is that they respect the flag which has protected them for these many years. and under whose folds they have reaped the harvest of prosperity.

will go on until England Is able. to build and keep on the alert a great force of .airships to keep on the oncoming enemy. And this is just what Germany wants England to do. She wants the British to spend their time in building and equipping air planes and training men to fly them. For while all that activity is going on behind English lines. on English soil, English aviators will not be able to do much damage to German lines of communication or to Ger man cities. Thus England may not ever be able to work the vengeance MT. Bonar Law says the governmen, is planning.
 Not believing in reprisals of this kind, there can be no question that England should do all in her power to defeat any air raid that may be made on her territory. We believe! with Howard F. Coffin the American expert on the question. that the United States should build enough airplanes so that Germany's aerial craft will be outnunlbered ten to one. With this done England will not have to work shady .reprisals on Germany, perhaps killing innocent German men, women and children in air raids, and America will be able to assert it's formidable entrance into the war.

Sims Has Wide Latitude.

Washington, June 20.-A brief message from London brought tho navy department it's first news Of the appointment of Vice Admiral Sims to command the allied naval forces in Irish waters during the absence of the commander of that district. The de- partment had no other information as to the new responsibilities placed upon the American officer.
 The Washington government has given Admiral Sims wide powers to enable him to meet any situation that may arise. Because of the distance from Washington to the scene of operations. no effort was made to he report for orders. The admiral has full authority to act on his own initiative in disposing the forces at his command so as to secure the great est co-dperation with the French and British navies and also the maximum efficiency in the warfare against Ger man submarines.
 Much of his time has been spent in London and Paris, and the latest ad- vices are the first to indicate that he has been at sea with his ships. It was said at the department, however that the admiral determined for him. self the best course to pursue and would spend all his time af1oat if he regarded that as advisable.
 The statement that Admiral Sims had hoisted his flag as senior allied naval officer led to much speculation as to what American warship he might be using as flagship. as pre- sumably he would hoist his flag only aboard an American vessel The only facts disclosed by the department as to vessels now in European waters 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 shoul- ders. 1t has been said that even with out the American vessels, the British have had thousands of destroyers, submarine chasers of all sizes and kinds, mine-sweepers, and aircraft posted in these waters in the effort to keep open the shipping lines. All of Sims. On him, also, rests probably the duty of arranging for the arrival and departure of commercial vessels, both transatlantic and coastwise, that ply in Irish waters. The British ad- niralty exercises rigid control over all ship movements, and no vessel leaves port until the naval commander re- ports the seas free of the enemy.
