REAR ADMIRAL MAYO
 DISAGREES WITH SIMS
Says His Letter to Secretary Daniels Was Not a Pro-
 test on Awards.

Washington. Jan. 2O.-Rar Ad- miral Henry T. Mayo. commander-in- chief of the United States fleet dur ing the war. told the senate commit tee investigating naval awards today that his letter to Secretary Daniels on December 23 declaring that the Knight board did not give sufficient consideration to service at sea, partic- ularly to duties and responsibilities of members of the staff of the conx- mander-in- chief of the fleet was not to be considered in any sense one of protest. He read the letter at the re- quest of Chairman Hale.
 Admiral Mayo took view dia- metrically opposed to that expressed by Rear Admiral Sims who told the subcommittee that the Knight board, in granting awards, gave too little consideration to the records of officers who served on shore The navy de- partment made public Admiral Mayo's letter on the subject some days ago.
 The examination of Admiral Mayo began under the ruling made yester- day by the senate naval committee that the present investigation should be confined to the question of war decoration awards, charges made by Admiral Sims that the navy depart ment did not cooperate fully with the Allies during the war being de- ferred for subsequent investigation.

BEAUTY, UNADORNED
 IS ADORNED THE MOST
Therefore, Says Woman Editor, Low
 CT the High Cost Of Living By Wearing Less.

New York, Jan. 20.-Women were urged to lower the cost of clothes by abandoning the worId-old tradition that they must dress 'to capture the fieeting fancy of the male" or to out do others of their sex in an address today by Helen Louise Johnson, edi- tor of the Lythe General Federation magazine before the Columbia uni versity institute of arts and sciences. Lower prices could be brought about, she added in her talk on the ethics of dress,' by the adoption of a standardized costume.
 Man." Miss Johnson said, +'can dress properly and becoming1y on a limited number of suits. His reason ing seems to be that beauty una dorned is adorned the most. His clothes are far from beautiful
 Women would become less conspic- uous and more impressive by wear ing standard dress, she declared, for 'tthe active, healthy woman creates a spiritual impression by simplifying g her dress and thus enhancing her facial beauty, while her less advanced sister clings to the older dress forms ''
 Simplihed dress would be more than an economy, Miss Johnson add ed, it would be the essence of moral progress"

OFFICIAL RECEPTION TO DEP0RTED RADICALS
Cross Frontier And Farley With Soviet Officers;
 Will Be Admitted.

Terijolli. Finland, Jan. 19.-Radi- calls who were deported from the United States were given what might be termed an official reception just outside of this village today. In the crowd that greeted Alexander Berl1- man, Emma Goldman and their ''comrades'' was M. Zorien, member of the all-Soviet executive committee, who, after a brief conference with Berkman, agreed to permit the whole party to enter Bolshevik Russia.
 ''There is no question how they will be welcomed in Russia" said M. Zo- rien, we will give them work ac- cording to their professions and trades but first we must provide them with comfortable homes and feed them we'll"
 There Was @ slight delay in getting in touch with the Bolsheviki, whose lines were about a mile distant from the brook marking the frontier of Soviet territory. When, finally, a con- ference had been arranged, Berkman, accompanied by Finnish officers and newspaper correspondents, went out on the ice, meeting the Bolsheviki in the middle of the stream. Both par ties conspicuously displayed white flags, the one carried by the Bolshe- vik soldiers being table cloth tied to red pole.
 Hold Farley
 Alter short barley the Soviet of ficers summoned the members of the Soviet committee of Petrograd which included Joseph Feindenberg, former British labor leader, and NJ. Zorien. The committee was conducted to Teri joki where conference was held.
 On the way back to the village, NJ. xl, Kolchak had been made prisoner in Siberia. This news was shouted to other deportees who were leaning out of the windows of the train which was standing at the station and was received with cheers.
 Shortly after the decision to receive the radicals was reached the whole party detrained at a point where a wood road leaves the railway and runs towards the forest. A few who were unable to walk were placed in sleighs. Finnish soldiers guarded the road and the transfer was made without a hitch.
 Captain Emil Nielsen of the British Red Cross entered Soviet Russia with the radicals for the purpose of arranging a shipment of supplies to British prisoners. The train waited for him at Viborg and it was not until o'clock this morning that it reached Terijoki.
 Conditions Improved.
 Conditions have considerably i'm proved in Petrograd according to M. Zorien. who said everyone there was getting one and a quarter pounds of bread per day. There is comparative Iy little idleness and wood and fuel are more abundant, making life more pleasant than heretofore, he said. The greatest difficulty had been eXperi- enced in getting coal to operate fac tories, but recently as a result of inn proved transport some had been brought up from the south.

BRAZIL TO GREET
BELCIANROYALTY
Gay Reception Planned
Party Already on
Way

/ RIO DE JANEIRO, August 3d.
/ Elaborate preparations are being
made to receive and entertain the
King and Queen of Belgium when
| they arrive here on the Brazilian
dreadnaught Sac Paulo which already
! has sailed for Europe to bring the
royal party to Brazil to repay the
/ visit of President Penossa to Bel
GUM last year. Commodious quart
ers, handsomely furnished and dec
Grated, have been built on the Sac
Paulo to accommodate the royal par
| ty, which will consist of ten persons.
They are expected to reach Rio
| de Janeiro some time in September.
| Enroute to Brazil calls will be made
at st. Vincent and Las Palmas. An
orchestra of five specially chosen mu-
sicians is aboard the Sac Paulo to
provide music for the royal guests
during the voyage. A selected Ii
brary, dealing mainly with Brazilian
history, installed in their quarters,
will enable the party to become ac-
quainted with the land they are to
visit
The visitors stay in Brazil will be
filled with receptions, entertainments
and sightseeing tours. Guanabara
palace, where the party will be hous-
ed while in Rio, was formerly the
home of the Princess label during
the late imperial regime. 1t was
here, also where the late Colonel
Roosevelt was installed when he came
to Brazil and made his adventurous
trip to the Amazon country. The
palace is a spacious building, locat-
ed in a quiet, beautiful section of
the city. Two rows of stately palms
lead from the palace to Guanabara
Bay, a mile distant. For months the
building has been in the hands of
workmen and decorators and now is
ready to receive its royal guests.
New illumination schemes are be-
ing installed in the principal avenues,
new boulevards are being construct
ed along the sea and city improve
ments generally are being fastened
so that the city will present the best
possible appearance when the Bel
gians arrive Plans for an elaborate
Venetian fete on the bay are being
considered. To meet the expenses
connected with these improvements
and for the entertainment of the Bel
gians, the government has asked
congress for unlimited credit.
