Personalities in the Mems
Our Full-Fledged Admirals

wv THEN the official wheels
wv shall have ground out
full confirmation, the
late unpleasantness with
Germany will be found to have de-
veloped two full-hedged Admirals
of the United States Navy in the
persons Of William S. Benson and
William S. Sims.
The House of Representatives
the other day voted, with vote
of 244 to 7, to confer upon the
Chief of Naval Operations and the
late chief Of the American forces
in European waters, this pcrma-
nent rank, and with concurrence bv
the Senate the deed will be done,
and there will be two living naval
officers carrying the rank that pre-
viously had been attained by but
three American sea warriors: Far
ragut, Porter and Dewey.
In passing, it might be remarked
that the strongest objection to this
measure came from Texas, the
same state which contributed pro-
test to making General John J.
Pershing a permanent general.
The vote Of the House is one which
ratifies the wishes of a nation. As
chief of the American forces in Eu-
ropean waters, Admiral Sims sailed
into the greatest esteem of the Brit
ish sea lords, commanded for time
in the Irish Sea and brought the
work of the American destroyers to
such smooth pitch that they
dropped into line without friction
and took up their work Of tossing
bombs into the briny with a pre-
csion and effectiveness that aston
ished both the German submarines
and the British nation.
1t was Admiral Sims who COM
mitted the "glorious indiscretion" of
1910, when at a Lord Mayors ban
quet in London he said that if the
British Empire was ever seriously
menaced by an external foe, "you
may count upon every man, every
dollar, every drop of blood of your
kindred across the sea-" For that he

be presently obsolete, he goes on to

A Few Echoes From the Recent
Socialist Shakeup In Chicago
Detroit JOurnai:

Detroit JOurnai:
The great American Socialists were
not at the convention. They are So
cialists, but they are Americans, not
revolutlonaries. They advance their
ideas for working out our common
problems and the rest of US may ad-
vance ours, until the problems are
solved. This is what the real final
meaning of the word Unite" will be
to the real workers of the world.
Wichita Beacon:
If they are so Wild about the re
markable government they have over
there, why in the name Of common
sense don't they get out and go there ?

If you own white collar and a
tooth brush you may as we'll give un
any hope of joining the new Com

The so-called American Socialist
party is committing intellectual and
moral suicide and no sensible progress
sive regrets the fact. 1t has been pro-

cratic and snticommon sense.

Cubn's President
Wants to Visit 4. s.

ID RESIDENT MARIO G. MEN
Il OCAL Of Cuba may not galli-
want from his country with
out authority. Now that he wants
to leave Cuba for a visit to
Washington it will become necessary
for the Cuban Congress to grant
him leave, for in copying the Con-
stitution of the United States the
Cubans went their protective brother
one better and stipulated that
President must remain at home.
President Menocal is to confer
with President Wilson apparently
over "shoes and ships and sealing
wax" and number Of things. He
doesn't want election laws changed
in Cuba nor the United States to
act as fiscal adviser to the tropical
island.
The Cuban executive is now serv-
ing his second term, having been re-
elected in 1917 after a close shave.
During the war with Germany his
decisive action had much to do with
stamping out the Teuton taint that
was from time to time observed in
Cuba.

THOMAS W. LAMONT, Of J.
Il P. Morgan G. Co., having
spent five months in Paris as a civil
ian aid and financial adviser to
the Peace Commission, returns to
us and says:
eff the United States insists to-
day upon sending the treaty back
with change and reservation, we

and, furthermore, by continuous
delay we shall probably postpone

free from the slavery of war"
Thus spoke Mr.. Lamont, who
pointed out that the tumult and
shouting was greatly interfering
with genuine peace and the ad-
justment of world conditions.
Mr.. Lamont might have said all
this through his own paper "The

time newspaper man himself, he
