President Wilson's message to Sims follows:
 '+Frorn the beginning of the war I have been greatly surprised at the failure of the British Admiralty to use Great Britain's great naval su- perfority in an effective way. In the presence of the present submarine emergency they are helpless to the | point of panic.
 Every plan we suggest they reject for some reason of prudence. In my view this is not a time for prudence but for boldness even at the cost of great losses.
 1 'fIn most of your despatches you have quite properly advised US of the sort of aid and cooperation desired from us by the Admiralty. The trou- 1 bie is that their plans and methods do not seem to US efbcacious. I would be very much obliged to you if you would report to me, confidentiably, of course, exactly what the Admiralty has been doing and what they have accomplished and, added to the re- port, your own comments and SIIg- gesions, based s1pon independent thought of the whole situation, with out regard to the judgments of any one on that side Of the water

The ab sence of craft for conveys is ever 1 more apparent on the French coas l than on the English coast and in tn, channel. I do not see how the neces sary supplies and supplies of fooc and fuel oil are to be delivered a British ports in any other way within l the next few months than under ade 1 quate convoy. There will present.. not be ships or tankers enough ant our shipbuHding plans may not be gin to yield important results in les than IS months.
 "tI believe that you will keep tfes instructions absolutely and entirel, to yourself and that you will give m such advice as you would give if yo1 were handling and if you were run ming a navy of your own.'
 l MT. Daniels also read a letter iron Admiral Sims to former Ambassado Page at London, written August
 1917, which in part said:
 t+In this connection I have a sug
 gestion to make. I have receive i word, practically directly from tn president, that he was much displeas , l ed with my reply to his cablegram
 that it did not change his opinion 3

 officer.''
 Admiral Sims reply to the pres! dent told also of plans for a combine sea and land attack to turn the Gel man right flank and cut off Zee
 brugge as a provisioning base, M f Daniels said.
 That was the kind of bold an audacious' thing the president an the navy department had been urgin , from our entry into the war;" declal 1 ed the secretary.
 Q s'But even then, Admiral Sims sa1'
 it had not been definitely decided o s by the war council. though the da1 ? ing and successful attack on Zet e brugge came much later.

late, Thursday of last week, and
after setting the milk car at the
Hood creamery, did its work at the
passenger station and run back to
take a siding to allow the south air
line to pass, and through some mis-
understanding the switch was set
which threw the train onto the siding
where the milk car had just been left
and the train crashed into the car with
great force.
The train was crowded, many
teachers OH their way to the county
teachers convention at Orleans, be-
ing on the train. When the crash
came several persons were thrown to
the floor and others severely shaken
up. Two Barton teachers, Mrs. Kate
Heath and Mrs. Daisy Baldwin, were
thrown violently to the floor and sus-
tanned more or less severe injuries,
while Vera Phillips sustained bruises
about the nose which caused blood to
run quite freely, and Miss Simon was
also somewhat injured. The shock
was so violent that the windows OH
one side of the coach were thrown up
and the car wrenched so badly that
the windows would not shut

ALBANY PEOPLE PROTEST
Say Testimony and Reports ofMrs-
Dow are Misleading.

When the Burlington Press and
the Boston Post conveyed the news to
the public of the trial of Mrs. Kath-
crime 1. Dow, who pleaded guilty to
charge of embezzlement of $500
from the United States government,
it is using moderate terms to say that
the people of Albany were astounded
at the light sentence she received and
the false testimony which she gave
before the judge.
The substance of Mrs. Dow's testi-
mony before Judge Howe was that
her husband, Dwight M Dow, had
lily, obliging her to resort TO the prac-
tice of embezzlement in order to meet
the family's needs. Mrs. Dow also
testified that, among the various
means which she employed to get her
husband to work and earn for the
family, she used part of the money,
embezzled, to purchase an automobile
to be used by Mr.. Dow as public
auto. Mrs. Dow claims the jitney
plan was a failure Excessive sick
ness was another reason given by
debts, and eventually, the theft of the
money. Judge Howe, before passing
sentence stated that this case was
one of the most pathetic with which
he had ever dealt, and also, quoting
the Boston Post, eff her husband had
been of her equal the condition would
never have arisen"
In order to reveal to the public the
falsehood of Mrs. Katherine Dow's
testimony, the following facts are
given to the public. Since the time
of their marriage, about eight years
ago, until Mrs. Dow received the po-
sition of postmistress, Dwight Dow
was enjoyed as cream carrier for the
Turnbull creamery in this village He
lost very little time, and received the
same wages the other carriers re-
ceived. He used T-ry little OF his
wages on himself, most of it being
given to his wife to be used as she
thought best. Sickness in the, family
ldurlng that time was relatively mod
lerate, and oy economy in the hand
ling of the daily earnings, debts
could very well have been avoided.
Those who know Mr. and Ms. Dow's
record realize that it was not so
much the lack of earning capacity
on the part of Mr.. Dow so much as
it was the absolute lack of ability on
Mrs. Dow's part to fill the position of
a careful and home-loving housewife.
Mrs. Dow was extremely extrava-
BdnL. 1T Is True IfldL OW11t1~ low
has had his weaknesses-wh in this
world has not? But there was moth
ing so far as the people of Albany
could see, in regard to AIr. Dow's
deficiencies, that would justify the
embezzlement Of money. Regarding
the automobile bought by Mrs. Dow,
) which she claimed before Judge Howe
was to be used for jitney purposes
by her husband, it is we'll known
fact that as soon as the automobile
WA, purchased, Mr.. Dow was seldom
allowed by his wife to do any public
auto work. 1t was used mostly In
, the evenings for pleasure purposes
During the last few years Mrs Kath-
crime Dow's reputation in the conl-
: munity has not been a coed one. On
more than one occasion she was
known t. pass checks when she had
> no account with the bank. This hap
pened before she went into the post
sfice.
