DANIELS SPEAKS FOR MANY.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels says the American
people will never forgive Admiral Sims for his
personal attack on the United States navy. Wouldn't
it seem as though the secretary is taking in quite
lot of territory when he undertakes to speak
for the American people? Furthermore, as we read
the criticisms we hadn't noticed that the United
States navy was attacked Just some Of the Off
GERS who thought they were the United States navy
Admiral Sims has performed service to his
country which is commendable.
People will not stop talking about that waist

measurer was We told them we did not know but
suggested it likely was some long armed "pusson."
