AZORES FOR
 NAVAL BASE

LISBON, PORTUGAL, April l..
 "The possession of the Azores Is- lands as a naval base has been dis tinct factor in the Allies victory says Rear Admiral Herbert Omar Dunn, U. s. N., commander of that base, who recently arrived in Lisbon, where the American naval men were the heroes of the hour.
 Rear Admiral Dunn was received by the new president of the Portu- guese Republic, Admiral Canto de Castro, and a banquet in his honor was given at the American Legation, which was attended by representatives of all the Allied powers.
 In an interview with Seculo re- porter, Rear Admiral Dunn expressed his warm appreciation of PortugaPs cooperation in dealing with the U- boat pest from that outpost in the At lantic.
 Nothing would please the Azoreans better than to be able to pay homage to President Wilson personally. When the President embarked for Europe, Rear Admiral Dunn cabled him re- quest that the ship might pass in view of the islands. The request was grant ed, and afterwards at meeting in Paris, the President charged Rear Ad- miral Dunn to convey to the Portu- guese people his sympathy and thanks for their friendship and cooperation with the American naval service at the Azores.
 The influenza scourge has not spar ed Portugal's westermost colony, ami there has also been a serious shortage of food. Rear Admiral Dunn not only succeeded in obtaining some ship ments of wheat from the United, Stat es but also distributed to the islanders all the available medicine from the American ships, gasoline for the Red Cross ambulances. The Stars ana Stripes is the most popular foreign flag in the Azores islands.
