HIGH TRIBUTE PAID TO SIMS
Admiral YiscOunt JellieOe Tells of
Great Work of United States
Naval Commander.

Admiral ViScOunt JellicOe former
commander of the British grand fleet
presided at a meeting last Saturday
night at the Bedford college for wo-
men. in London. and said he came in
place of Vice Admiral Sims, comman-
der of the American naval forces in
the war zone. because Admiral Sims
was a brother officer as were all
American officers who had been serv-
ing in the European waters. Ad--
miral Sims was prevented from at
tending because he had taken pep
sonal command of the American
squadron sent to welcome President
Wilson. Admiral Jellicoe said that
Admiral Sims. who had done so much
to save civilization. was the right mar
to command the escort. as he iad
seen the American forces grow M
from their inception.
When Admiral Sims arrived in
England. continued Admiral Jell'coe
he was welcomed in the usual man
ner" by having ship mined under
him. No one was injured. Admiral
Sims explained to the American navy
board the needs and necessities of the
British navy 1t was not easy for a
people 5000 miles away said Al.
miral Jellicoe. to realize what thess
were. but Admiral Sims made then
understand and America Responded
most nObly.
As the American ships arrived il
European waters. ii fell to the lot O
Admiral Sims to organize them. IN,
admiral continued. and it fell to hil
lot also to do the very difficult thin.
of imbuing the American navy with (
spirit of cOmradeship with those viii
whom they were going to work. Thl
result. Admiral Jellicoe concludes
had been a comradeship so close tha
the two nayies had become one.

RIVER PARK COAL
SUPPLY SHUT OFF
No Coal to be Sold to River
Park Patrons Says
Miller.

Fuel Administrator w. F. Miller
Thursday morning announced that
he had cut River Park off absolutely
in the supply of coal The situa-
ton in Mishawaka, which has been
but slightly relieved by the receiv-
ing of a few cars of coal, is still
such that it is felt unwise to send
any more of the fuel out of the city.
This is due partly to the actual
want in Mishawaka and partly TO the
fact that River Park, despite the
stringency has kept its schools open
during the entire period, while Mish-
awake schools have been obliged 10
close. over 100 families in River
Park have been cared for thus far,
and instructions were given to the
dealers to furnish the orders given
prior to Thursday. but following that
no further deliveries can be made.
The situation at the schools is
much the same. 1t is not definitely
known when they will open, as there
has not been sufficient coal received
in the city to materially affect the
situation. 1t is hoped that the
buildings will be able to open within
week or two, but it will in all
proba bilities be longer.
