NEW YORK. April How Rear Admiral William S. Sims accom- panied by one aide, proceeded incog- nlto into England under navy depart ment orders issued him two weeks be- fore the United States entered the war against Germany was told the Associated Press by the admiral here tonight on his return from overseas.
 In reply to questions he gave in simple words a straightforward ac- count of his mission, passing with dispaSSlonate commetn over many an incident of his adventure that well could be incorporated into the most romantic of war stories.
 On March 24, or 25th, 1917. the ad- miral said, while he was president of the naval war college at Newport he was ordered to report without delay" to the secretary of the navy at Wash ington. He was not notified of the nature of the business to be discussed Upon his arrival there, he was re- ceived in secret conference with Sec retary Daniels and Admiral Benson, chief of naval operations.
 He was told that it looked as though we shall go to war and it was brief ly explained that he was to go at once 10 see the people on the other side and reach an understanding as to how ! the United States best could cooper ate with the allied sea forces in oper- alton against Germany. One aide would be allowed to accompany him, he was told and his identity must not i be known until il might be decided l to reveal it after his safe arrival ! abroad.

 Simultaneously they dropped their names and assumed others more suit i able to the occasion. Admiral Sims l said he did not clearly remember wha names he bore on his, incognito ad

BUTTE ELECTS NEW
 REPUBLICAN MAYOR
Republican A. p. Leased wire1

BUTTE, April 7.-W. T. Stodden, republican candidate for mayor, and the entire republican ticket was chosen at today's municipal election. Stodden received a total of 5,012 votes to 2,656 for Captain William Cuts, the democratic nominee, and Al for George Ambrose, the socialist candi- date. A protest mass meeting was held during the afternoon in behalf of W. F. Dunn, who was defeated at the primary for the democratic nomina- tion and who later was barred from running as an independent candidate by court action.
 Speakers who addressed the meeting severly criticised the action of the state supreme court in refusing to order Dunn's name placed on the ballot.
 You cannot expect justice in the district or in the supreme court said B. K. Wheeler, former United States district attorney for Montana.
 You might as we'll use your law books for fuel; they are no longer of any value in this state"
 Dunn was convicted recently of se- dition in the Mc-tana courts and fined s5,000. It was charged that he made editorial attacks on the state council of defense in the columns of the Butte Bulletin. His case sis on appeal.

Former Arizona CoWb0ys Return
 To Scot K3lts

NEW YORK, April 7.-Uniforms of fifty different British regiments were worn by 27,000 Americans from 23 states who returned today on the steamship Mauretania. The men had enlisted in the British service early in the war. There were also a number of colored men from the British West Indies. In- cluded in the contingent were some former Arizona COW punchers attired in kits and Tam O'Shant- CTS. They were welcomed at the pier by a band of Scotch pipers. Major H. H. Burne of Sydney, N. S. w., who commanded the men, went from New York to England, to enlist at the outbreak of the war. He was wounded in 1917 and earned the military cross.
 Lieutenant A. E. Mckenzie of Portland, Oregon, spent more than a year in a German prison camp. He was picked up wounded at PasschendaeIe in August, 1917, and sent to villingen. There he met Lieutenant Edouard V. Isaacs of the Steamship President Lincoln, after that vessel was torpedoed, and another American, Corporal Harold Willis of Boston. Lieuten- ant Mckenzie said he aided the two men to escape by short circuiting the electric current light supply at the camp, darkenins the entire place.

 Friendly Relations
 Admiral Sims declared the relations between his forces and the British had been ideal.
 We went over there to get into the war in any way we could do the most good" he stated. All maneuvers of the Grand Fleet were the result of confer ences between the British and Ameri- can staffs and there were no differ ences of opinion. We operated between 800 and 400 vessels, manned by So,0o0 officers and men, in complete harmony with the British. Relations now, with 150 vessels and 25,000 men remaining, are just as cordial"
 He added that American naval craft had operated from the White Sea to Constantinople, assisting the war de- partment shipping board and relief commissions. We were a minority in the allied fleet" he continued, but we had the satisfaction of knowing that in quality we ranked, ship for ship with the best of them"
 The Merchant Seaman Of the merchant seamen, the rear admiral spoke in high praise, declaring they stood by us through it all and some of them it seemed, could not get torpedoed often enough to suit them. ; ! He said there might have been d diff l ferent story to tell' but for the courage ! of these men in sticking to their pos $ and freighting American supplies to Europe, regardless of whether convoys were available. The war he added, had given both the navy and the merchant
 marine true appreciation of the oth- CTS worth

SOVIET SENTIMENT IN THE ASCENDANT
 AMONG BAVARIANS

MUNICH, April 7.-(By The Asso- ciated Press)-On behalf of the revo- lutionary central council of Bavaria, Herr Kellisch today addressed the fol- lowing official telegram to all the workmens councils:
 '"The workers of Bavaria have over come their party divisions and united in a mighty bloc against all domina ton and exploitation. They have taken over in workers, soldiers and peasants councils entire public authority.
 The landtag has been dissolved, and peoples commissions have been ap- pointed. Complete order prevails in public affairs and business and the ad- ministration is continuing.
 Works will be controlled by works councils which will control workers and direct affairs, jointly with the man agers. Everything belongs to the com munity. Independent socialization is therefore out of the question. It is the duty of the workers, peasants and sold iers' councils everywhere to attend to the protection of the soviet republic and peaceful development. They will take over authority and control of the administration and are responsible to the working people for all actions and omissions.
 To-day is national holiday. Work will be suspended, but the railroads and food, water. lighting and heating services will continue"
 BERLIN, April 7.-(By The Asso- ciated Press)-The news of the situa- ton in Bavaria is being followed witt keen interest in Wurttemberg and it i: considered significant that the meetins of the Wurttemberg national assembly has been indefinitely postponed.

 The summoning of the George Wash ington will place the president in such a position, it is pointed out, that he cannot be embarrassed by having to wait for the transport should the time come when he might wish, owing to failure of the peace delegates to agree or unwarranted delay in finding a set clement of the peace question, to with draw from the discussions.
 The belief is common that President Wilson will not hesitate to take def mite action if a deadlock is actually reached.
