u. S. Did Not Win
the War, 1t Helped,
Admiral Sims Says

Philadelphia. May 3. - Philadel-
phia had a modest visitor Yesterday.
The average hero usually falls a
victim to the insistent alteration of
the public, but not so with Rear Ad-
miral William S. Sims, commander
of the United States fleet in foreign
waters during the European war.
He arrived aboard President Will
sons private car at $50 a. m. at
Broad Street Station. His program
for the day was really a whirlwind
of engagements made for him by
the Philadelphia committee of the
Vivtory Liberty Loan campaign. The
man who was entrusted with play
ing the great role as head of the
United States Navy in action was not
a bit ruffied by the immense ovation
that greeted him on all sides.
He welcomed representatives. from
the newspapers in the private salon
where President Wilson held many
important conferences. 1t was none
too impressive, this car, with only
the usual appointments that go to
make up a private Pullman coach.
Tell US about the American
Navys achievements some one
said.
I'VE didn't win the whole war"
the Admiral answered with a smile.
But. we did lions share of the
work. didn't we, Admiral?'
NO, said Admiral Sims, most posi-
lively. We were only there to obey
orders and it is mistaken notion
to think that way for we did only
n small part in the war. When you
consider that Great Britain had 5000
ships as compared to our total of
$50 boats in action our part was nee
essarily small. We had seventy
five destroyers in foreign waters
while Great Britain had 1000"
