Rear Admiral Sims Tells How
German Submarine Menace
Was Overcome.
ARRIVES AT new YORK
Commander of American Naval Yes
sells in European Waters During
War Lands Safely In the
United States.

New York, April 9.-Rear Admiral |
William s. Sims, commander-in-chief
of the American naval forces in Euro !
pean waters, on his arrival aboard the
liner Mauretania, declared the convoy
system, which many naval men termed
impracticable, overcame the German
submarine menace and figured tre-
mendously in winning the war.
Depth charges and listening devices,
he said, contributed to success in
maintaining practically unbroken the
Atlantic bridge" of transports
and supply ships essential to the Al
lied victory, as did the magnificent
work" of the merchant seamen, who
took their eargoes across, convey or
no convoy"
But it was the conveying scheme,
worked out to fine detail by the COM
bined fleets of the associated powers,
the officer asserted, which made pos
sible the transportation and supplying
of the great American force whose
appearance in battle with the Allies
turned the tide against the German
invaders on the Western front.
Germany Was Winning War.
Germany was winning the war, the
rear admiral stated, when he arrived
in England the day after the United
States became a belligerent. Teuton
interference with Allied shipping, he
added, was a serious problem, solved
only when conferences of the British,
American and Allied commands
worked out and put into practice the
system of protecting vital ships which
prevailed until the cessation of hostil-
tiles.
feet of airplanes heralded the ap-
proach of the transport, bearing the
admiral, his staff and 3,080 troops, and
escorted by fiotilla of destroyers and
smaller naval craft. In a din of sa-
lutes from the harbor forts, whistles
from welcoming vessels and cheers of
the officers soldier shipmates, the big
vessel came TO anchor.
From the Battery to his hotel the
admiral passed through cheering
crowds. Admiral Sims termed his re.
| ception wonderful"
The admiral declared the relations
between his forces and the British had
been ideal.
Went to England incognito.
Rear Admiral Sims, accompanied by
one aide, proceeded incognito into
England under Navy department or
ders issued him two weeks before the
United States entered the war.
Entering Liverpool harbor on April
8, in a thick mist the steamer struck
mine and a hole was blown in one
of her forward compartments.

OPPOSE HEATHEN RULE
Rebels Hope to Make Korea a
Christian Nation.
Proposed New Government Will Be on
American Lines as Far as
Possible.

Washington, April 9.-Dr. Syngman
Rhee, who, according to cable dis
patches from Shanghai, has been
named secretary of state of Korean
provisional revolutionary government
established in Manchuria, issued a
statement in which he declared it the
intention of the leaders of the move
ment to make a Christian country out
of Korea, ''once it is free of Japan.
This said the statement, would
make Korea the first independent
country in Asia to become Christian.
Koreans will not tolerate heather
autocratic government like that of ia.
pan. They have been trained under
American Christian influence, and the
leaders are all imbued with American
democratic ideas. Seven of the eight
members of the cabinet of the pro
visional government are Christians
and our government will naturally fol
low the American form as nearly as il
can be done"

INJURY DONE TO GOOD ROADS
Harm Than SteeI.Tired Vehicles
on Account Of Speed.

There is more damage done to the
roads now by autos and motor trucks
than steel-tired vehicles ever did, for
the reason Of greater speed Of motor
vehicles and their drivers have the
same fool tracking habit the horse
drivers always had. Driving in the
same tracks never damaged steel tires,
but it is the destruction of the roads
and rubber tires. The motor vehicle
is worse for the roads than horse rigs
on account Of greater speed. The rea.
son running in track is damaging to
rubber tires, is sharp rock will be
set in the side Of the track with the
sharpest corner out to nip a piece out
Of every tire, and sharp rocks canno'
dodge or bounce out of the bottom of
the track. hut cut holes in the tires and
break the fabric, causing the so-called
stone bruises and rim cuts, even on
properly inflated tires.

DOUBLED LIFE OF HIGHWAYS
French Engineers Find That Simple,
Surface coatings Of Tar Were OF
Much Benefit.

1t has been the experience of the
French engineers in building roads dur.
ing war times that simple, surface
coatings of tar preparation more
than doubled the life Of the road. This
being true, 1t would seem advisable in
the construction Of all country roads,
to cover the surface with some crushed
rock or gravel, and then use the heavy
tar preparation, because the binding
effect prevents the material from slip
ping to one side; it holds the material
Intact and gives the road hard-sur-
faced covering that is not only lasting,
but adds to the efficiency of the road.

DAY OF FORTY-EIGHT HOURS
Fact About Measurement Of Time
With Which Some May Not Be
Thoroughly Familiar.

DR.. Willis e. Johnson, in his work
on Mathematical Geography" shows
that portions Of three days may ex.
list at the same time between II 80
o'clock a. m. and II 80 o'clock p. M,
London tine. When it is Monday noon
at London Tuesday has begun at Cape
Deshnef, but Monday morning has not
yet ,dawned at Attn island. Nearly
half an hour Of Sunday still remains
there" What is known as the I'm
ternational Date Line" divides the
days from one another-this being sit
uated on the one hundred and eight
eth meridian. This runs due north
and south, but there are two slight
changes which have been made In it,
for the sake of convenience.
While day at any particular place
is "a hours long, each day lasts on
earth at least 48 hours, Any given
day, say Christmas, Is first counted, as
that day just west of the date line.
The people just west Of the date line,
who first hailed Christmas have en-
joyed - hours Of it when it reaches
England; 18 hours of it when 1t
reaches central United States, and "a
hours Of It, or whole day, when 1t
begins in western Alaska, just east
Of the date line. Christmas, then, has
existed "a hours on the globe, but
having just begun in western Alaska,
1t will tarry "a hours longer among
mankind. Owing, however, to the ir-
regularity Of the date line, days last
more than 40 hours in fact, 40 hours,

IF KIDNEYS ACT

When you wake up with backache

acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your: bowels;
removing all the body's urinous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full
Of sediment, channels often get sore,
water scalds and you are obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness. ""1;.' :'hI ~ -
