ice Come to Focus.
ADMIRAL SAYS SOME
OFFICERS ARE SLIGHTED
Letter to Secretary Of Navy
Climax to Published Charges
That Daniels Had Re-
arranged List Of Awards.

Washington, Dec. 23.-Rumblings
of dissatisfaction within the navy at
the way Secretary Daniels has ar
ranged the awards of decoration for
war service came to the surface to-
day when it became known that Ad-
miral Sims, former commander of
American naval forces in European
waters, had declined to accept his
distinguished service medal, while
the awards remain as at present.
At the same time the row which
uo to this time has been a shoulder
ing one. gave intentions of showing
up in congress. Chairman Page Of
the senate naval committee asked
for report on the awarding of the
decorations and Secretary Daniels
transmitted it to him tonight. Mean
while Representative Lufkin of
Massachusetts,, a member of the
house naval committee, announced
that he would ask the house to call
for similar report.
Climax to Published Charges.

lished charges that Secretary DAN
iels had rearranged the whole list
of awards, raising some officers to
higher distinction than recommended
and "blue penciling" Others, publ

ated a new sensation in the Navy
department and added a new chap
ter to the long contest in which
some naval officers have complained
Of the secretary's administration Of
affairs and others have defended him
with equal vigor.
The whole thing has been brought
to head by the action of Admiral
Sims, who, writing an official COM
munication to Secretary Daniels. has
set out that officers for whom he
recommended the distinguished serv-
ice >medal-highest of all naval dec
orations except the congressional
medal Of honor-received by the
secretary's revision a decoration Of
lesser value, and that other Off
GERS whose duties and services A6-
miral Sims considered as of lesser
value received by the revision the
more valued decorations. At the
same time it develops, Admiral Sims
sent franked copies of his letter to
many naval officers in Washington.
His action became known first
through them, and later today Mr..
Daniels gave out the letter. with
out comment Earlier in the day,
however, Mr.. Daniels had an

SUGAR PILFERING
is LATEST FAD.

New York, Dec. 25,-Sugar now
being almost as costly as coal, some
resourceful New York women have
introduced new fashion which bids
fair to become popular. A conversa-
tion overheard between two richly
attired women revealed the inner
workings OF the idea.
What is that pretty little velvet
covered box you're carrying" in
quired one of the women of her
companion.
"Sh-h! Not so loud, my dear.
That's my sugar box. alway
carry it now when l go to a
restaurant or cabaret"
"You carry your own sugar in
that to supplement the small por-
tions?"
"Oh, my, no." was the answer.
"When | dine out and see any sugar
lying around on the table or in
sugar bowls, l just fill my little
camouflaged container. Novel, eh?"
The idea for the new American
fashion was said to have originated
from the use of "le sucriere' or
"the sugar carrier" by French
women for several years past.

SPECIAL APPEAL
FOR CORPUS
CHRISTI FUND

The town of Corpus Christi, Texas,
has been visited by one of the great
est catastrophes in the history of the
United States. More than 1000 men,
women and children are dead there.
Another 5000 are absolutely destitute.
Means of communication have been
destroyed. Homes are wrecked. Food
scarce.
Put, more than all this, the people
of Corpus Christi ~cannot help them
selves. They have appealed to the
hearts of the country to sympathize
with them and to help them lest the
toll of death and destruction be heav-
Ter than it is already.
This appeal has come to Bisbee.
In every like circumstance, whether
the question has been asked by the
government or by individuals, the
Warren district has been first to re-
spond. Bisbee has built a proud rec
ord. Can we allow it to be lowered
now? Can this city, prosperous and
open-hearted-the epitome of the
great spirit of the west-afford to let
this appeal go unaided?
The people of this district have al
ready given an answer. Contributions
are being made. But they must come
in greater amounts, and they must
come quickly. Confident that Bisbee
will do its best the Warren district
Commercial club has made arrange
ments to receive and forward money,
in conjunction with the city govern
ment and the local branch Of the Red
Cross.
Send your donation to the club, in
the Copper Queen hotel building, adj
dressed to Thomas A. Egan, secre-
tary who will be there to receive it
from o'clock in the morning until
o'clock in the evening. The emer-
gency is here. Every day counts.
Let's go!

CITY BENEFITS
FROM Fl PASO
ROAD RACE

With the Warren District CONNER
cial club and the Warren District
Auto club represented at a meeting
last night a general discussion of the
I'll Paso-Phoenix road race on Nov.
was INDUCED in. and the work of the
finanee committee outlined. This
committee, which has charge of the
guarantee to be raised by Bisbee, con
sists Of the following:
Companies: John ]. Bowen, NJ. ].
Cunningham.
Bisbee: Sam Frankenberg, Thomas
A. Egan, Ed. Simmons.
Lowell: F. c. Bledsoe. w. L. Smart,
H. Cox
Brewery Gulch: J. A. Kempton,
Chris Prodanovitch, A. E. Sheppard
Stress was laid upon the fact last
evening that the feature OF the race
will be the immense amount of adj
Vertising that will accrue to this part
OF Arizona through the event The
Borderland route, the road from 81
Paso through Douglas, Bisbee, Tue
son to Phoenix IS the only stretch of
500 miles of road IN the United States
over which a road race in which an
average speed OF 40 miles an hour can
be maintained.
The Ell Paso-Phoenix road race,
therefore, not only will give the peo-
pie OF the Warren district amuse-
ment, and financial return through
the fact that this is a night control,
but IT will give such an amount OF ad-
vertising as perhaps could not be
had in any other way. This is par
ticularly the case with regard to tour
lists from the east, the north and Cali
fornia.
The Bordcrland route is the only
"all-year-round" route in the United
States, and it is now in such condi-
ton. according to those who are ia
miliar with it. that it is expected that
the average speed for the 500 miles
this year will be at least 40 miles, as
compared with SO miles in 1914.

HUN U-BOATS
PLANNED To
BLOCK FIRTH

LONDON. Sept. 2.-(Correspond-
ence OF The Associated Press.)-
German U-boats tried to bottle up
the British grand fleet in the Firth
Of Forth during the latter part CT the
war, says a London paper. which de-
scribes this as the most ambitious
tactical operation undertaken by en-:
envy undersea craft.
The scheme aimed at tho blacking
the sewing Of big mine field. Thres
months of hard work were devoted to
the task by a considerable fleet Oh
submarines, the mines being laid In
the shape Of half moon. Nut mine
sweepers had discovered the plan ana,
az fast as the mines were planted.
they were cleared away.
1t Is recalled that other similar at.
tempts to trap the fleet were made
in 1915, in the Moray Firth. when
over 400 mines were laid, and IN 1916
at the Orkneys. In round numbers
on these three occasions, the Germans
laid 100 mines at a cost Of 800
each. The King Edward was the only
fighting ship that fell victim in these
operations.
Enormous numbers of mines were
laid by the Germans off Harwich II
was found that these fields were
spread regularly at ten day intervals
so British sweepers occasionally left
portions OF these waters unswept SC
that when the Aext batch OF subma
rines came along they ran afoul o.
their OWL mines.
The task OF clearing British waters
OF mines is almost completed.
