Sim FEM SCORED
BY ADMIRAL SIMS
American Boys Lost Their Lives Be-
cause of Enmity Of Irish to
England

Boston, Jan. 28.-Rear Admiral
William S. Sims at a mass meeting
arranged by the Loyal Coalition here
last night, said that to him it was in
conceivable that American citizens Of
Irish nationality could support the
SinnS Fein knowing what they do
about them"
"How any American of Irish de-
scent can support party that was
cur implaacble enemy during our war
passes my understanding" the admir-
al said.
Sim Fein activities, he asserted,
necessitated the diversion of vessels
from the convoy of troops and of mer-
chant ships
"And you people here in America"
he added, shave great many of your
sons at the bottom of the sea today
because we were obliged to divert
vessels and could not give adequate
protection.
"We were fighting against the Ger
mans and the central powers. but they
were fighting in the open. They fought
the submarine under the water, but
that is the way to fight the submarine.
Tie Sim Fein was fighting US just as
bitterly and behind our backs"
Characterizing many of the differ
ences between the United States and
Great Britain as "pin prieks," Admir-
al Sims said that although pin prieks
usually were of little consequence,
sometimes they caused blood poison
ing'-the poison being skillfully sup
piled by propaganda"
