SAYS SIMS CHARGE

ADMIRAL M'KEi.N DENoUNcEs
PRESIDENT or NAVAL COL.
LEeE FOR STATEMENTS.
Is UNJUST TO ENTIRE NAVY
Declares That If . Foreigner Had
Made Similar Charges American
People Would Have Risen
In Just Wrath.

Washington. Characterizing as
'moDstrous" Rear Admiral Sims
charge that delays by the Navy De-
partment prolonged the war four
months and cost 100000 lives, Rear
Admiral ]. S. Mexican told the Senate
investigating committee that "had 1t
been made by any foreign official al
lied or enemy, it would have aroused
the indignation of the whole American
people
Had it been invented by the in
famed, exaggerated, diseased ego of
o patient in St. Elizabeth's, the gov
ernment hospital for the insane, no
one would have been surprised" the
admiral said. THAT it was made un-
der oath by a rear admiral of the
navy on the active list, president of
the naval war college, in hearing be-
fore a committee of the United States
Senate, is, in my opinion, an insult to
every officer and man now in the
navy or who served in the navy during
the world war. a
Il do not believe that anyone short
of God himself has isufficient knowl-
edge of the various ements and fac
tors entering into tie war and the
causes of it's conclusion to justify him
for one moment in charging that the
navy or any of it's officers were re-
spcnsible for the loss or any part of
the 100000 tons Of allied shipping
claimed to have been unnecessarily
lost, nor least Of all do believe that
there is any human being with suf-
ficient information and sufficient
knowledge to justify him in charging
that unnecessary loss of life Of one
of the 100000 OF allied soldiers
charged to have been due to the er-
rors of the navy. "A This monstrous
charge has been or will be disproved
In every item"
The criticism of Sims by Rear Ad-
miral J. S. McKean4 4resulted in tilt
between Chairman Hale and Senator
Trammel, Florida, when Admiral Nc
Kean was reprimanded by Senator
Hale for indulgingldn personalities. .
The officer declared he was only
following a precedert set by Admiral
Sims in his testimony, while Senator
Trammel remarkedy that the chair
mans objections to- personalities had
not run against Admiral Sims SNAP
py comments"
Admiral Mexican, whose appearance
followed completes of the cross ex-
animation of Capt w. V. Pratt, who
had been on the Stand several days.
insisted he was not seeking to de-
fend Secretary Daniels or to damn
Sims" in what he said.

PRICES ON THE UP GRADE
Reports From Federal Reserve Agents
Indicate That Consumers Will
Pay Still Mere.

Washington.-Reports from federal
reserve agents throughout the coun-
try showed a marked tendency of
prices to resume their upward move
ment, the federal reserve board re-
ported in it's summary of business con-
ditions for April. But the board noted
the hopeful sign, from the consumers
viewpoint, of anxiety concerning the
overstrained situation resulting from
excessively high prices and wages
which it believed forecast slowing
down in the skyrocketing of prices.

If in hours which ought to be hours
of rest we allow the mind to brood
over grievances, to dwell on difficult
ties, to harass itself with cares, and
grieve over suffering and sorrow, we
shall find leisure even more exhausting
than work.
Select thoughts of harmony, love,
cheer, goodwill health, purity, and
beauty, and just in proportion as you
hold them they will displace and
crowd out their opposites. X

There is something that every wise
man needs to learn in these days more
than how to get rich, if he wishes to
be well and happy, and that is how
to do without riches; how to live a
simple. wholesome life.
Simplicity is the elimination of the

ALLIES ARE FIRM
WITH GERMANY
SUPREME COUNCIL GIVES NOTICE
THAT DECISIVE STEPS WILL
BE TAKEN.
MAY OCCUPY TERRITORY
In Closing Hours Council Adopted
Note to President Wilson Explain
ing Cannot Adopt His Solution
of Turkish Question.

San Reno, Italy.-The supreme
council adopted the Franco British
declaration with regard to Germany
after inserting a clause declaring its
readiness to take all measures, even
to the occupation of German territory
II necessary, to enforce the Versailles
treaty.
The declaration is blunt and to the
point and completely dashes the ex
pectations Of German sympathizers
that the rupture between the allies
would be widened by the San Reno
conference. Germany is told that fur
ther infractions of the treaty terms
will be intolerable.
Premier Lloyd George said that he
regarded the San Reno conference
as the most successful yet held by the
supreme council and declared that the
measures adopted seem to assure a
restoration of order and peace.
In the closing hours the council
passed upon two notes to the Ameri-
can government, one explaining why
President Wilson's latest Turkish
note could not be followed and the
other on the Armenian mandate and
boundaries. A new note to Germany
was also approved It will be com
municated by Signor Nitti, president
of the council.
The text Of the common declara,
tion adopted by the allies at the close
of the work of San Reno conference
is in part as follows:
"It Germany has taken no steps to
determine, as was provided in the pro-
tocol of the treaty it's obligations con-
cerning reparations in order to make
propositions with the view of fixing
the total amount which it must pay,
despite the urgent character that a
settlement of this sort presents in the
interests Of all the parties concerned.
1t seems to have not even considered
how it can meet it's obligations when
they come due.
"The allies realize the difficulties
met by the German government and
do not seek to impose too narrow an
Interpretation of the treaty, but they
are unanimous in declaring that they
cannot tolerate continuation of these
infractions of the treaty of Versailles,
that the treaty must be executed and
remain as the basis of relations be-
tween Germany and the allies and that
they are resolved to take all measures,
even if necessary, the occupation Of
an additional part of German territory,
in order to insure execution of the
treaty. They affirm, however, that
they have no intention of annexing
any German territory.
"At the same time, the allies deem
that questions arising from violations
of the peace treaty as we'll as from
the measures necessary to insure its
execution would be more easily solved
by exchanges of views between the
chiefs of the governments than by
note. Thus they decide to invite the
chiefs of the German government to
a direct conference with the chiefs
of the allied governments and request
that at the proposed meeting the Ger
man government present to them ex-
plantations and precise propositions
upon all the subjects mentioned IN the
foregoing"
