Many Professions
For Disabled Soldiers

Washington, March Is. There
seems to be general impression
that the re-education and training
given disabled soldiers, sailors and
marines by the United States gov
ernment is wholly in the manual
trades. Just where this impression
originated is hard to say. but pos
sibly on account of the general un-
derstanding that vocational educa-
ton means instruction in wood
som ething of the sort. AS a matter
of fact, out of the first 7S7 disabled
veterans placed for re-education by
the Federal board for vocational
education at Washington, which is
the agent OF Congress in providing
this free re-education for these men,
n considerable number are in the
professions, pure and simple.

SIMS PREDICTED
THE WAR IN 1910
Recalls Message at Farewell
Speech at the American
Club in London
By Associated Press

London, March 15.-vice-Admiral
William S. Sims, commander of the
American naval forces in the war
zone' in a farewell speech at the
American Luncheon Club Yesterday
said that in 1910, when sixteen
American warships spent several
weeks in European waters. he suh-
mitted secert report to the ad-
miral commanding that. in his onin-
ION and that of many American and
British officers, war could not be
put of more than four years. He
stated that he just wanted to mem
lion this fact for what it was worth.
After referring to his "undiplo-
matte remarks" at the Guildhall in
London several years ago. when he
asserted that Great Britain and the
United States would be found to-
sether in the next war. he reviewed
the work of the Navy. saying it had
co-operated closely with the Amer
lean Army in keeping communica-
tiou lines.
There was no friction" Admiral
Sims declared. THAT may seem a
platitude, but all my reading of ma
val history has convinced me that
this was the first instance in the
world where an army and navy real
ly co-operated. Most commanders
spend the balance Of their lives
writing how the other fellow Gas
mistaken. 1 have the greatest ad-
miration for John Pershing. He
had the greatest job any comman-
der ever had, and you would be sur
prised II You knew the trouble we
had TO get the Army to the front"

the toll iniquity, and, bingo. the
cheerful news came that 1t would
never again cost six cents each way
