from the report of Admiral Sims's
speech, says:
Whereas, this statement is an at
tack upon the loyal citizens of the

and of Irish descent, and
of Irish blood and Irish descent served
the United States and her allies faith
fully during the World War, and many
made the supreme sacrifice for the
cause of liberty and justice, and
! "Whereas, the statements purported
to be uttered by Rear Admiral Sims
are an insult to the memory of those
men of Irish blood and Irish descent
who made the supreme sacrifice, and
an attack upon American citizenship,
manhood and ideals. and

representative who has held. is hold

and whereas said statements were an
attempt to cast aspersion on the rights

Parliament Honors Sims
LONDON, June s (By The Associated
| Pressl The House of Commons showed
its appreciation of Admiral Sims's serv-
ices in the war by the assemblage of
/ its members in large numbers to-day
in a committee room, where the Ad-
miral had been invited to meet them.
MIS-. olHlS, by Spec1al request, ac-
companied him to the function. Admiral
Sir Reginald Hall presided, and Austen
| Chamberlain, government leader in the
House, was present.
Admiral Sims's speech dealt with the
| cooperation of the American and Brit
ish fleets during the war; The proceed
| ings were informal and of the most cor
| dial character.
| Mr.. Chamberlain, Sir Donald Mae
Lean and John Robert Clynes, repre-
senting the Coalition, Liberal and Labo
parties, respectively, made compli-
1 inentaly speeches of welcome. MI
! Chamberlain said it was the earnest
wish of ali parties and creeds that the
close cooperation established between
the British and American fleets during
the war should be symbol of the
future relationship between the two
countries.
The Right Honorable George Lam
bert, for the navy, suggested in a
humorous speech that the Admiral had
better hurry home with Mrs. Sims for
| fear she would be elected member OF
| the House of Commons
Admiral Sims, in replying, said he
! only knew one nation that did not
| boast of the grandeur of the empire
it's country and its people. That was
the British; they did not think it ncces-
/ Sary.
