SPEECH PUBLISHED
INCORRECTLY, SIMS
ADMIRAL. SIMS DECLARES THAT
HIS STATEMENT WAS BADLY
MIsoUoTED.

Next Step In Controversy Will Be
Taken When VolubIe Sailor Comes
From EnoIand.-InquTry May
BE Pressed.

Observation-Disclosures attributed to
him in press reports of his recent ad-
dress before the English Speaking
Union In London, in which he criti-
cized activities in Irish sympathizers
In this country, were not correctly
quoted, and were misleading, Admiral
William s. Sims declared in a cable
gram by Secretary DENLY.
Statements that were attributed to
me-" said the message, were not cor
rectly quoted. Context misleading and
garbled. Report Of statement is incor-
rect and inferentially wrong. State
ment actually made was substantially
the same as repeatedly made in public
In America and in my book, The Vic
tory at Sea- and in public addresses
ct meeting held for increasing good re-
lations between the English-speaking
people"
Secretary DENLY would not COM
ment on the admiral's message. In
view Of the fact that Mr.. DENLY revok-
ed the remainder Of the officers leave
of absence and ordered him to return
at once to the United States to report
in person at the navy department, it
was indicated no further steps would
be taken in the case until Admiral
Sims return. 1t then will be decided,
II was said, whether Secretary DENLY
would press his inquiry into the mat
ter.
Admiral Sims reference in his ca
blegram to his speeches in this couq-
try recalled the addresses he made in
Boston last winter, in which he as
sailed Irish sympathizers in this coun-
try. Secretary Daniels was lombard
ed with kilograms and letters demand
ing that disciplinary action be taken
against the officer, but no such steps
were taken,

POLISH COLLAPSE IMMINENT
Important csnters Taken ~ TommIsO
and Insurgents Active 40 Troops !
Continue Advance.

Berlin.-The Polish uprising In Up
per Silesia is ending. Unless Kor-
fanty's rebels kill British soldiers as
they enter the coal capital there will
be a complete collapse of the move
ment which began May / and which
resulted in 1000 casualties and threat
ened to embroil warwick Europe into
a bloody war.
Thanks to British energy and going
ahead with a plan which did not take
into consideration the Polish battle
lines or the fact that revolution had
occurred, Gen. Heniker insulated his
5000 black watch, Royal Irish, Middle
sex and Durham troops throughout
KOrfanty's kingdom, undermining POI
lish control until it is almost impos-
sible for the insurgents to make any
trouble again.
The British have occupied q line
passing through Kreuzberg, Rosen.
berg, Lublinitz and Tarnowitz. Ulti-
matums have been given to the Polish
garrisons to be quiet. Beuthen, Kat
towitz and Koenigshutte will soon be
in the hands of the British unless
Korfanty at the last minute changes
his tactics and decides to use violence
against the British army, which is ex.
pecting another brigade from Cologne.

London.-Claiming to be 140 years
old, Turk named Zorah, who lives
in the Top Haneh section of Constan-
tinople, gives the following details of
the regimen he has followed for many
decades:
l. A cold bath every morning.
2. No meat, alcohol or tobacco.
3. Plenty of "yaourt'' (boiled milk
curdled by yeast), with sugar, and as
much bread, cheese and sweets as he
can eat.
4. A drink Of water once week; at
other times plenty of very sweet,
weak tea, without milk.
Except that his throat is wIthered
and loose-skinned beneath his white
beard, nothing in Zorah's appearance
indicates his extraordinary age. He
has lately been suffering from dys-
pepsia, for which he blames q loose
tooth.

GERMAN TAX PLAN
WILL Be EXTENDED
EFFORTS or GERMAN GOVERN
MENT TO RAISE INDEMNITY
ARE DESCRIBED.
ALL HANDS WILL ASSIST
Creation Of New Monopolles Planned.
Sales Tax and Coal Tax Must Be
Increased, Says Robert
Schmidt.

Berlin.-Robert Schmidt, Socialist
Minister Of economics, admitted to the
National Economies Parliament that
taxation alone would not suffice to
raise the fifty or sixty billion paper
marks annually which must be paid
the allies for reparations. He out
lined the government policy as antic-
ipating the government policy of new
monopolies and participation in the
profits Of private business in man
ner similar to that now in operation
in the Swedish mines. The govern
ment would have to impose a turn
over tax and increase the coal tax,
he announced.
"The allied ultimatum," he said,
requires from the German people the
payment of 2,0O0,0OO,OO gold marks
annually and ! variable payment
measured by Germany's exports,
which, according to present trade,
will mean 1,250,O0O,0OO marks addi-
tional. To this must be added the
cost Of occupation and other settle
ments, so that the total reaches 81
$4,000, 900 gold marks or 100000
900 to 6O,0OO,OOO,O 900 paper marks an
nually.
Part Of this sum is to be raised by
the deduction of 2B per cent of the
value Of our exports to enemy coun-
tries. The question arises whether the
exports, since they are to be an index
Of what we must pay, should be
furthered or chOked off, The gov
eminent believes the export trade
must be advanced, but imports must
be controlled and limited, especially
as regards Injuries.
"But our export trade cannot serve
permanently as an index of our ca
pacity to pay, and 1t will be part Ut
the duty Of the National Economic
Parliament to find better, one-pos.
sibly our production OF coal or iron,
our harvests or railroad transporta-
ton. For these great payments we
must have great resources. Taxes
must be made productive. The sales
tax and coal tax must be increased.
"A further source Of revenue is by
the creation of new monopolies and
participation by the state in actual
values as distinguished from paper
values. But since taxes alone cannot
cover the needed $4,000, OOO,OO0 marks
annually, we must prepare for profit
sharing by the government in indus
try similar to the Swedish govern
ments participation in the mines and
the German governments participa
ton in the profits of the Reichsbank."

Clay Pine Wins.

London.-British smokers have de-
cided that clay pipes smoke better
and longer than briars. In a cham
pionship contest held under the aus
pices OF the British Tobacco Fair in
London, Robert Woodcock made a
clay pipe of tobacco last two hours
and five minutes. This is seven min
utes below the worlds record, estab-
lished In 1907. Sixty-three competi-
tors entered the lists equipped with
all sorts and shapes of pipes. They
were each given an eighth Of an
ounce of shag or mixture, and all light
ed their pipes simultaneously. Once
pipe went out its owner did like-)
wise. Less than dozen entrants
completed an hour.

New Orleans.-Reports from New

gar company to the effect that there
is enough sugar to carry the United
States to the end Of the year without
drawing on the Cuban supply have
been assailed in formal statement by
R, M. Murphy, president OF the Sugar

acterized the report Is an effort to
harass the Cuban finance commission
and -demoralize the Cuban sugar mar
ket. Should certain interests" gain
control of the Cuban crop at low
prices, according to Mr.. Murphy, IL
would mean the destruction of the
cane and beet sugar industry Of the
United States. Mr.. Murphy charges
these interests are attempting to de.
press the price Of sugar, although II IL

least GO per cent Of cancers may be
cured if recognized early and in the be-
ginning. 1t is never primarily blood

of the body. These outbreaks are late

Ger arl demand an investigation by
thoroughly competent physician.
When We come to deal with the cam
Ger problem. we are confronted with
ignorance among both high and low.
It is common knowledge that we have
been cursed with the so-called cancer
doctor" from time immemorial. He US
usually has a secret formula, which has
such discriminating virtues that 1t will
eat out the cancer and not harm the
healthy tissues. Bad as this is, credu-
lity goes still farther. In my commu-
nifty there is a man whom people ask
10 treat their cancers, and who does
nothing more than rub their handker-
chiefs between his hands and lay 1t on
their sores. This sounds ludicrous, but
I recently visited great city. noted for
it's wealth, it's learning, its philanthro-
py. In the midst Of the famous GEN.

saw better dressed, more intelligent
looking audience. They gave every ev-
idencc of culture and refinement. have
rarely seen so many limousines stand
ing in front of any one building. Now,
one Of the cardinal doctrines of those
marvellous people is that cancer can be.
cured by the patient believing that he
does not have cancer. We smile at
