FOR DISTANCE OF A MILE
UNITED STATES
WOULD HAVE BEEN
LICKED IN 1910
By Any Nation Having an Equal
Number of Ships, Says Rear
Admiral Sims.

Newport, r. L., Nov. l9.-Rear Ad'
miral William S. Sims in delivering his
annual address as president OF the
Naval War college to its graduating
class of officers to-day, discussed mi
itary conservatism" referring specif-
cally to that type and degree OF con-
servatism, (which has SO often been re.
sponsible for defeat in battle, and
sometimes for national disaster.
After quoting from history to show
that there has always been resistance
to new weapons or methods OF war
fare, he said:
"The rapid development Of the sub
marine and the airplane during the
war, and the continuous development
of both, and especially the latter, since
the war, have shown that these power
full weapons are still in their infancy
that great possibilities of development
are clearly in sight; and that 1t VIII
require the most careful, devoted and
logical consideration upon our part
even to keep abreast of the develop
ments in foreign navies much less to
anticipate these developments"
Indisposition on the part of our
navy at once to utilize new ideas,
weapons and methods of demonstrated
value, the admiral said, had been due
to a habit which could be indulged in
in the past with comparative safety but
which is manifestly danger to a
country that has become involved in
international politics and whose pol
icies are likely to be disputed by other
powers"
Admiral Sims asserting that our
gunnery up to 1900 was so inefficient
that an equal force of ships OF any
navy could have inflicted upon US a
most humiliating defeat" added:
"In my opinion we are now entering
a period that may be still more
dangerous if we fail correctly to inter
pret the significance of the rapid~~ne-
velopment of fundamentally new weap-
ons of enormous destriNtive power and
OF relative immunity to effective re-
sistance by any means except de-
eisive superiority of similar weapons.
"We may escape this danger in flu
ture, as has so often been the case in
the past through the superior vision Of
a Roosevelt or through the pressure OF
public opinion, overcoming the exces-
sive conservatism of military minds.
81 think it is apparent that the rem
edy we seek is comprised in a eombi-
nation of logical ability and military
the ability to reach sound
conclusions from established facts, and
the character to accept, adopt and
fight for these conclusions against any
material or spiritual forces.
"A navy to be successful must be
guided not only by men Of ability but
by men of an intellectual honesty that
is proof against personal ambition or
any other influences whatsoever.
(which of us win be quoted in flu
ture as examples of dangerous conser-
vatismfv

SUBMARINES ARE
TO FIGURE LARGELY
In Deliberations of Naval Experts of
the "Bis Five"
Group.

Washington, d. C., Nov. 10 tBy the
Associated Pressl.-Suhmarines are
certain to figure largely in delibera-
tions sof naval experts Of the Big
Five" grou3 now in progress. That is
one feature Of the American proposals
for reduction and limitation of naval
strength which the British have indi-
Gated a desire 70 discuss.
II Is regarded as virtually certain
that the experts viii find themselves
in agreement that submersibles have
very definite place in naval war
fare; a legitimate. recognized place,
and that no serious proposal to abol-
ish underwater craft viii be advanced.
There may, however, be some effort
to limit the size Of future submarines
In the American naval view. the
whole question of legitimate use Of
submarines as feet units is stil 20 be
worked out.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. l0.--The as
pect of the armament negotiations was
broadened to-day as a result of the dis
closure of the administrations purpose
not to limit the prospective limitation
agreement to the nations represented
at the conference, but TO ask the par
ticipation of any other interested ma
tions. In connection with such an
agreement, administration officials ex-
pressed the belief that unless ii took
the form of treaty rather than an
understanding of policy, the entire
program for this nation, including the
scrapping Of warships, could be put
through without congressional action.
They could not predict, however, which
of these forms it would take, if con-
summated.
Delegations of all the powers were
believed to be fully prepared to pre-
sent their views on the plan presented
by China for settlement of questions
involving the status when they met to-
day in executive session to resume the
far eastern discussions. While all may
not desire to commit themselves in de-
tail on specific points. it was expected
that progress would be made in con
sidering the Chinese plan at least as a
basis for committee discussions.
Particularly the japanese delegation,
whose views win be presented in a
statement bye Ambassador Shidehara,
had indicated preference to have
their policies developed step by step as
the negotiations continued and were
prepared at this stage 10 ask for an in
depreciation of some of the Chinese
"ten points" Whether the Chinese pro-
posal for a re-examination Of the stat
us Of all commitments affecting China
meant desire on her part to reopen
what Japan considers as "closed Incl
dents" to which she has expressed firm
opposition, was believed TO be the spe-
cial point of interest for Japan.
On the armament side of the nego-
tiations, Japan's desire for an increase
in the proportional strength of her
navy, although so far as known is not
yet formally presented to the arma-
ment committee of the five powers,
had become the dominant point to-day
of informal discussion in conference
circles. With the American delegation
adhering firmly to the principle upon
which the naval ratio for Japan was
arrived at in its proposal, that prom
ised to become the most tightly drawn
issue OF the conference.

MILFORD BIRD DOG CALLS
MASTER TO THICKET
George Thomas of Milford Has
Valuable Setter Which AS
tOnishes Gunners.

Delaware sportsmen boast of some
valuable bird dogs, but George Thorn
as, well-knOwn sportsman of Mil
ford lis the possessor of probably the
peer of them all for Delaware. His set
ter Fannie" has aroused much inter
est in the vicinity of Milford and the
fame of the animal is becoming State
wide.
"Fannie's" fame rests on her "call-
ing the MASTER" which is rarely heard
of in cases of bird dogs, although it is
the trait of the rabbit hound. On a re-
cent cunning trip, Mr.. Thomas showed
some local sportsmen just what his
valuable dog would do
Usually after covey of quail is
flushed in the field and the birds scat
ter to the woods and thickets, the gun
ner will seek the singles. It is at
this point that Fannie works. She
also goes after the singles and once
she discovers one in the woods, she
will back from the bird and give one
bark to summon the master from some
other point in the woods. She backs
from the bird so that when she barks
she will not frighten the bird. If the
dog hears someone in the woods or
thicket near her, she will not back,
but will wait for them to appear.
The dog did this on three different
occasions on cunning trip recently.
Mr.. Thomas has refused number of
good offers for the dog.

JOHN SHILLING'S RE-
PLY TO CON. LAYTON
Sets Forth His Views on the
TOwner-SterIing Bill and Asks
Layton to Approve It.

December 13, 1921.
Hon. Caleb R. Layton,
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. c.
Honored SIR
Some of the school people of the
State have brought to my attention the
fact that you have written a letter to
certain citizens in Delaware about the
TOwner-Sterling bill, in which you ask
a specific question, to this effect: -"Do
you desire that the educational affairs
of the nation shall be centralized in
Washington
My understanding of the Towner-
Sterling Bill, and if I am wrong, I
wish that you would correct me, and
send me copy, marking the passages
which show that I am wrong, is that
it very specifically and positively says
that the educational affairs of the
States shall be in control of the leg
ally constituted State authorities, and
shall be administered by them accord
ing to the State laws. I cannot see, if
what I read in the bill is true, how
anyone can say, or suggest, that the
intent of the TOwner-Sterling Bill is,
or that it's operation, should it become
a law, would be, to centralize educa-
tional authority in Washington. Again
I repeat, if 1 am wrong in this, I GER
tainly hope that you will immediate
ly set me right.
1t seems to me that the intent of the
Towner-Sterling Bill is that it shall
create department of government
which shall be after the model of
these latter departments of govern
Milford chronicle., 1921-12-30

ment, beginning with the Department
OF Agriculture. The intent of the cab
met officers and departments of gov
ernment in the beginning, as you and
all other practical statesmen know,
was to assist the executive in those
lines of activity which by their ma
ture were absolutely in control of the
Federal Government. But there came
time, in the development of our gov
ernment activities, when Congress, in
its wisdom, decided after much de-
bate, that there are many other lines
of activity which the Federal Govern
ment can promote, but over which it
has no control. This issue, as YOU
know, was fought out when the De-
partment of Agriculture was first pro-
jected. The Department of Agricul-
ture is the precedent for several
others,-in fact, for all of these 9TH
ers which have since been established.
The Department of Education would
be following the principle, which is
certainly an established principle in
our governmental affairs.
No one has ever limited that the ag-
ricultural interests of the United
States are in control of any executive
in Washington. No one has ever con-
tended that the commerce of the Unit
ed States is in control of any execu-
tive in Washington. No one has ever
limited that the labor interests of the
United States are in control of any
executive in Washington. Would it
not be fair assumption that we
could have Department of Educa-
tion in Washington, under the Town
er-Sterling arrangement, without put
ting the educational interests of the
States in the control of Secretary of
Education?
Please read these arguments impair
TALLY, not as coming from member
of the State Department of Public In
struction, but read them as statements
which speak for themselves. I sin
cerely hope that you will give hte
Towner-Sterling Bill your support
