For the Sick Poor
To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: Might I ask you to publish an
appeal for our sick poor whom we
attend regardless of creed, race or
color? We arc besieged with applica-
tions for relief, and without the aid of
generous public we cannot do as
much as We would wish. The winter
has been exceptionally severe and many
distressing cases are on our list. The
high cost of living has made life a
misery to the sick poor.
If some Of your kind hearted readers
would sent us articles of clothing, such
as blankets, comforters, pillow cases,
sheets, warm underclothing, baby out

Admiral Sims's Frankness

Admiral Sims is an officer with
clear-cut views and the courage to
express them. He is not courtier.
Nor is he man to smooth over
disagreeable truths s"for the good
of the service"
When he says that it would be
better to abolish the whole scheme
of naval distinctions than to have
awards made in the way in which
the Navy Department has been try
ing to make them he has the
country behind him. The purpose
Of granting crosses and medals is
to strengthen the morale of service.
If the methods followed in dis
tributing distinctions create dis
cord and lower morale, the navy
is better off without any award
system. American opinion has
always been skeptical of the value
of military ribbons and decorations.
1t has a dislike of machine-made
distinctions of all sorts. 1t loathes
the appearance Of favoritism in the
bestowal of honors. In the past it
has jealousy insisted that these
should go only to the exceptionally
and obviously deserving.
Admiral Sims shares that jeal-
ousy. He represents ancient tra-
dition and is unwilling to abandon
the ancient standards. His judg-
ment can hardly be disputed. In
view of the friction and bitterness
aroused by the awards of the Knight
Board, by Secretary Daniels's un-
fortunate revision of those awards
and by the necessity Of quashing
all existing findings and beginning
all over again, Congress would be
justified in repeating the distinc-
tions act and letting the relative
merits of those who served in the
war be established in the old way
by the respect which each deserv-
ing officer has won for himself in
the opinion Of his fellows.
On another point-connected
with service efficiency, though not
directly connected with service
awards-Admiral Sims also has
spoken very frankly. He strongly
condemns the "muzzling" policy,
which has been carried to extremes,
of the present Secretary of the
Navy. The establishment of a CEN
sorship over the utterances of naval
officers creates an atmosphere of
servility. 1t discourages constructive
criticism. And if the navy is in need
of constructive criticism-as it
always is-where can more COM
petent and more helpful critics be
found than in the highly trained
officers of the navy?
Secretary Daniels's treatment of
Rear Admiral Fiske is an instance
in point In other navies officers
enjoy a wide degree of latitude of
discussion. How astonishing, for
instance, are the published remi-
niscences Of Lord Fisher! Even
officers in the active list should have
the right to say and write what
they think and what they hold to be
of Importance to the development
Of sound naval policy.
Admiral Sims deserves high praise
for his candor and outspokenness.
1t is time for the era of suppress
sion to end. The best minds In
the navy should be released, both
for the enlightenment of the nublic
ministration.

Washington, D. {

Great interest is manifested in this
city over the possible changes in Brit
.ish policy which may follow the arrival
Of Viscount Grey in England. While
in certain sense his American visit
was failure, since he accomplished
none of the things for which he came,
did not see the President, see the
league of nations launched or play any
public part whatsoever, Grey's visit
was by no means useless, nor was his
time wasted.

Miss Helen Taft, acting president Of
Bryn Mawr, cites Dempsey and Ruth's
compensations against the salaries of
teachers; which is no argument at all.
There are eight or nine teachers who
can solve a simultaneous quadratic
equation; but there was only one man
who could knock out Jess Willard, and
there is only one hitter like the re-
doubtable Babe. Mr.. Briggs undoubted-
ly makes more money than any uni
versity presidents; as do Mr.. Douglas
Fairbanks and Mr.. Irving Berlin. Nor
is there anything disgraceful in that.
1t is disgraceful that the teaching pro-
fession is poorly paid, but the average
ball player and the average pugilist
probably earn even less than the aver
age college professor.

a fish line.
The story was told by Bill Talley,
who was an eye witness. When the
two reached Gold Fork couple OF
weeks ago, Bill took one side of the
stream and Zeke theother Soon after
separating, Bill heard an awful racket
across the creek. Listening he could
hear Zeke's staccato voice excitedly
|exclaiming: "Dod drap your old hide
I'll stay with you till hi freezes
over" etc Returning to learn the
cause of the excitement Bill found
Zeke engaged in a desperate struggle
with an immense bull trout which had
taken his hook Slowly but surely the
trout was pulling Zeke toward the
creek in spite of his every effort. A
pine tree about three feet in diameter,
growing on the edge of the bank of
the creek was ali that saved him.
Throwing his arms around the trunk
of the tree he held on for dear life.
The tree~shook as if in the embrace
of cyclone as the trout struggled to
land his victim. Zeke's eyes were
bullying and his muscles stood out
like cable ropes. His vocabulary gain

the rescue. He SHED his clothing,
jumped in. lit on the fsh's back and
holered for Zeke to turn him loose.
With final "dod-drap it" Zeke sur
rendered and the fun was on. Up
stream and back the trout went like
fash. diving to the bottom and then
jumping 6to 20 feet out of the water.
Bill had ridden too many wild horses
to be bucked off that way and he
stuck. The contest lasted half an
hour, the fish foundering like horse
and sending sprays high in the air.
It took two hours to land the mon
ster, and they were tired couple
