a cry went up Here comes the ad, d,
mAral, and the main stairway was
cleared, but every point of vantage in
the hall was crowded. -
AS he entered the revolving doors a
thunder of applause and cries of "Wel
come Home!" greeted the admiral. He
STOOD Tor moment in hesitation, Wis
IDLY affected by the greeting. Then,
quickly recovering himself, his hand
went to his cap in smart salute and
his eyes looked the thoughts he was
unable to express in words.
He stood full minute watching the
string of signal flags that stood out
from the other decorations, spelling
the word "Welcome" Then his ewes
fell upon the four starred admirals

momentary smile passed across his
face, and then he followed the lead of
his welcomcrs 10 the suite that had
been reserved for him.
IN the parlor of the suite there stood
a .gllded wreath of laurel, in the centre
OF which, upon a field of blue silk,
there were four stars Of white carna-

William s., jr., in the uniform of a
jack tar, seven years old, watched
proudly every moment of the victorious
return OF his father. Some one asked
him if he had enjoyed it. ooh, yes"
he said. There was lots of amuse-
ment:" What kind?" he was then
asked. "The Mayor made a speech. ;"
he replied with childish simplicity
Admiral Sims will go to Washington
to-day to report to the Secretary of
the Navy. He will be in New York
again Thursday, and on Friday he will
go to Newport to resume his duties as
commander Of the naval college there.

convoy system was continued. Our
light naval forces were used as escort
vessels to aa many Of these conveys
as they could handle"
Admiral Sims said that through out
the time he had been overseas he had
been in England directing the opera
tions Of the fleet. The only exception
to this rule was when he took part in
the deliberations that settled the naval
section of the armistice terms sub
mitted to Germany
Speaking of the work Of the naval
forces in European waters now, he
said: Il turned over my command to
naval forces are directing all trans
port movements. They are escortine
ships through mine fields, directing the
movements of food ships and supply
ships. Their operations extend from
Constantinople through the Medter-
ranean across the Atlantic, in the
North Sea and clear to the White Sea
through the Arctic Ocean.
Five hundred men Of our navy are
in Northern France aiding the inhabi-
tants to rebuild their shattered villages.
These men were engaged in the bomb
ing squadrons quartered there, and
they have taken on their new work vol
UNFAIRLY"
Coming back to the merchant sea-
men, Admiral Sims said: "They are the
greatest seamen in the world. They
are far better than the naval officer,
because they are constantly at sea and
have no shore duty. Ali they need is to
go on q ship. throw her helm over once
or twice, and they are ready to go any
where in her
"Their work has been one of the
most inspiring things in the war. No
matter how many times they have been
torpedoed, no matter how horrible the
experiences they have suffered, they
never once faltered in their task, and
they never refused to go again to sea.
without them the work of the
armies and navies would have been
doomed to defeat. l feel that no trib
ute can be too strong for them, and |
want to see their gallantry told and
told again. 1t impressed me more than
anything else over there"

IN submarine warfare for three years,
and at no time were wc in Il better
position than one to ten in anti
submarine craft. At the time the
armistice was signed the British had
1000 submarine chascrs TO our 400.
"Under the arrangements made by
the Allied naval commands the rank
ing officer at a particular spot took
command irrespective of the number
Of vessels there. This was carried out
completely and caused no friction what
ever"
Depth Bomb Won War
Speaking of the types Of destroycrs
used in European waters, he said the
new American destroyers had excited
the admiration of British naval officers.
But" he continued, "the submarine
campaign was never question Of guns.
1t was question of the depth charge.
That is what defeated the submarine.
ut was not until we entered the
war that the convoy system was adopt
ed, but that was chiefly due to FAULTY
information that was at hand up to
the time we entered Under the con-
voy system it is necessary for ships
to steam in columns of four, line
ahead. When submarine is sighted
the leading ships must turn stimuli
taneously irrespective of the number
of columns. Then, too, the column
must be maintained through the night
without navigating lights
"The Allied naval staffs all declared
the merchant seamen could never
maintain these POSITIONS What also
contributed to the error was the fact
that the merchant seamen themselves
also stated they could not do so. They
pointed out that even with naval ships
it was a difficult mannuvre, despite the
fact that naval crews are trained tc
it constantly.
Convoy System Started
