and that more than 1900 enlisted
men already have gone back into
the service. We should like to hear
a report covering similar applica-
tons and re-enlistments in the navy
and merchant marine. If we are to
transport our own goods, we must
have seamen as we'll as ships and
officers of training and ability.
The war has given us a sea-going
element of population that it would
have required a generation of peace
full pursuits to develop. Is it all to
slip back into land service, or will
serious effort be made to retain
large part of it to man our new
and growing merchant fleet?

A BRILLIANT OFFICER

WITH more or less frequency
wv there appears in important
newspapers references to the
slight recognition which has been
paid by the United States Govern
ment to Admiral William S. Sims,
who won the admiration of all fight
ing men by his splendid service dur
ing the war. Indeed, this fine Penn
sylvania naval officer has quietly
returned home, assumed his duties
as president of the Naval War Col
lege at Newport and without muir
mur has dropped back from Vice
Admiral to Rear Admiral.
The Wilkes-Bar Record, COM
menting on this Indifferent treat
ment of a splendid officer, observes
that Admiral Sims maintained the
proud traditions OF the American
Navy in foreign waters and won the
praise of the fighting seamen of
Great Britain and France.
Those who know the Admiral
understand his stoical acceptance Of
whatever is passed out to HIM
through official channels, but Just
the same his friends everywhere be-
lieve that this brilliant officer has
not received his desserts and that he
is worthy of the greatest horors
which can be bestowed upon a patri-
otic. efficient and gallant COM
mander

PLANNING FOR
 MEMORIALS TO
 PATRIOTICM MAN

The following statement relative to the purposes and aims of the ROOse- welt Memorial Association is present. ed to the readers of the Daily Times by George c. Hazelet, chairman of the organization for Alaska:
 Three days after the death of Col onel Roosevelt, January 6, 1919, at a meeting held in Chicago, preliminary steps were taken to form the Roose- welt Memorial Association. Colonel Boyce Thompson was made chairman and leading men and women from each state were appointed members of the executive committee. This executive committee will become the trustee of the association.
 The object of the association is to provide memorials in accordance with the plans of the national com mittee, which will include the erec- tion of a suitable and adequate mon umental memorial in Washington; acquiring, development and mainte- nance of a park in the town of Oyster Bay, which will ultimately include Sagamore Hill, to be preserved like Mount Vernon and Abraham Lincoln S home at Springfield.
 "To attain these objects, a cam paign to raise a minimum of $1O,OOO,- GOO from millions of subscribers will be conducted during the week of De- tober 20 to 27.
 Tt was the intention from the in ception to remove all partisansh1p from the Roosevelt Memorial AssOcia- ton, and men and women of all par ties are joining in the movement.
 "TheodOre Roosevelt is removed from the field of partisan politics. His memory is the common heritage of all Americans. Men and women of all parties have an equal right to do him honor, and the Roosevelt Memorial Association will be conduct ed in a manner to permit all to eXer- else that right without reservation or embarrassment.
 America would honor Roosevelt the man in order that his manly qual- ities may be fused into the life and spirit of American youth. Courage, energy unself1sh service, love of country honor and square dealing righteousness, wisdom, fearless fight ing-it is to these qualities which one man has been able to embody
The Cordova daily times., 1919-09-10

that we seek to erect permanent memorial. All citizens, regardless of party, who believe that the memory of such a man will inspire the future generations of America, are earnestly invited to assist by their energy and gifts.
 "The conduct of the campaign dur ing the week of October 20-27 will be under the direct supervision of Col onel Thompson, assisted by the exec utive committee Working under him will be the state campaign organiza- tiOns in each state of the Union, the District of Columbia, the territory of Alaska, and the insular possessions.
 ''The organization in Alaska is headed by George c. Hazelet of Cor dova, who has appointed the follow ing chairmen for each of the four judicial divisions:
 First division-J. R. Willis of Ju- reau.
 Second division-C. J. Loren of Nome.
 "Third division-Frank H. Foster of Cordova.
 "Fourth division-Thos. Marquam of Fairbanks.
 ''The First Bank of Cordova has been made the depository for all funds collected in the territory, which will be remitted at once to the na- tional treasurer, Albert H. Wiggin of the Chase National Bank of New York
 "The chairmen for the different di- visions in Alaska will begin to or ganize at once to the end that every man, woman and child in the territory may have an opportunity to vOluntar- fly express their remembrance of the great American who so nObly served his country and people.
 Each citizen who participates in erecting this memorial will be gu1d- ed to finer life, to a more unselhsh devotion to his country's good"
