THE TROUBLE WITH SIMS.

Secretary Daniels has made a seri'
Gus charge against Admiral Sim:
and. II his conclusions are correct
much Of the spleen which has beer
vented by the naval officer can b,
accounted for.
''The admiral" said Secretary
Daniels. desired to accept the Offer
OF the king OF England that he be-
cone m honorary member OF the
british admiralty and wrote com
plainingly' when the department de-
clined 20 allow him TO accept the
appointment. Sims coveted foreign
decorations and. apparently. placed
more value on them than on tbs
honors his own government could
confer"
Admiral Sims has had ample time
20 show up" the unprepared eondi'
ton OF the American navy al IN,
time war was declared. He has had
ample time In which TO prove thai
his brother officers. who risked theil
lives for the nation while he sat Ia

Of columns In the newspapers il

He has utilized his time In bring

matters unworthy OF consideration
and by making serious charges
which he has been unable to sub
stantiate TO the satisfaction OF IN,

1t is the aim OF the Postoffice De-
partment ultimately to install a

The postoffice bill carries appro.
priations aggregating 461,72S, ,36S

The increase is due TO the ex-
traordinary increase In the price OF

of business in the postal service, and
the additional clerks that have been
required.
Provision is made for the continu.
alton OF the emergency salary in
creases granted postal employees last
year. The committee states that
while the joint postal salary com
mission may complete Its investiga-
tion and report on a salary read

tinue present salaries until the COM
missions report shall have been
finally acted on.
An appropriation OF 100000 is
made for the air mail service and
several extensions are proposed.
There are now 2eS 3I7 postal service
employees. the committee reports, this
being BY far the greatest number
