That u. S. Did Not
Show Co operation.

. Washington, March 11.-Indications
that the navy department withheld
sending all available naval craft to
European waters early In the war. be-
cause OF q desire to keep the main
body of the nations sea, strength in
tact for possible eventualities, were
contained, in Admiral Sims testimony,
today before the senate committee in
vestigating the naval conduct Of the
war. ,Hi
He read cablegram from the navy
department, dated July TO, 1917, con-
tanning an outline Of the Departmental
policy and declaring that while q sue
cessful termination Of the present war
must always be the first Allied aim
and will probably result in diminished
tension throughout the world, the
future position Of the United States
must In no way be jeopardized by any
neet."
Another Statement. vs..
The same cablegram. S&dmiral Sims
said, contained this statement:
The navy department announces as
it's general plan of action the follow
ing: Its willingness to send its minor
fighting forces in any number not In
compatible with home need to any
field Of action deemed advisable by
rhe Allied admiralty council: it's un-
willingness as a matter Of policy to
separate any division from the main
fleet for service abroad, althopgh 1t Is
willing to send the entire battleship
fleet abroad to act as unit but CO.
operating unit when the emergency Is
deemed to warrant it."
With. regard to this message and
statement Of policy Admiral Sims said
it>was the ''first definite statement OF
policy had received, arriving few
days .over three months after we had
declared war; ~.
I.The astounding features Of this
policy were, however, that. while it
stated our intention to cooperate to
the, fullest degree, still such cooper
alton was conditioned first upon an
adequate defense Of our own waters
and next upon the further position OF
the, United States after This. war, was
finished" said the admiral. II am
wholly unable to conceive of any wal
policy, particularly in q world war OF
this nature, which was certain to ex-
haustr all of the participants with the
possible exception Of ourselves, based
upon the requirements oflany possible
future war;. AySis "a
"A message received from the navy
department, dated July s. to the enec,
that several small vessels were being
sent to augment his forces indicated
that they were at aasts beginning te

 way or not cook 1t at all. There is con siderable inflammable material in the cellar, so we had to be firm.
 Some of the family suggested that it would be better to clean out the cellar
 and let her follow her own primitive instincts about cooking, but the smoke
 was too bad. It couldn't<be done. After that we varied our programme and secured a lady who had not come from foreign parts, but from some where south of Richmond.
 She was a fairly good cook, but she
 was also an accomplished, kleptomaniac. And she insisted on carrying a suit
 case away with her every time she left
 the house, packed with silverware. gro- ceries, or amy other little thing she happened to think she might require.
 So, rather than take the trouble to reform her. we fired her.

Now that the immigration bars are price. All you have to do is to go to an employment office and ask for green norm. She won't know how to cook but you can teach her if you happen to know how yourself.
 She won't know to speak English but you can teach her English, too, if you happen to understand Lithuanian
 or Checo -Slovak, or Norwegian, or

 to be. If you don't. you can get tutor for her.
 She won't know anything about
 housekeeping, but neither do the ex- pensive ones, so that isn't as much of disadvantage as it seems By a reasonable price is meant, as far as I can discover, reasonable price from the cooks point of view That means anything over seventy dollars a month, with the cost of food for neigh ' borhood parties and Stockholm old home weeks thrown in.

 replied that if we didn't like it we didn't like her, and therefore she would feel called upon to sever her relations
 with us. This she did by taking the
 kettle in which she had cooked the din- ner and overturning it on the dining
 room floor.
 It was what the Germans calf ges- ture. but it was quite understandable. The one after that objected to her bath tub. It was not big enough to hold her wardrobe, and she seemed to have some rooted objection to the closet we had provided. We were sorry she left, because she really cooked two meals that we could
