ADMIRAL SIMS STARTS
ON HOMEWARD VOYAGE
Bids Ad eu To Prince Of WaIes-Lon-
don Newspaper, Euoeizing Visitor
Calls Irish Bad Lot

! London. June 16-Rear Admiral
Will am 5. Sims last night ended his
visit to London, made unexpectedly
notable by reason of his several
speeches He sailed for New York on
the olympic yesterday, Tuesday he
said good-by to the Prince OF Wales
at st, James's Palace,
in farewell to Admiral Sims the
Morning Post said editorialy:
We hope Admiral Sims will take
away with him the most pleasant
memory of his visit to England as he
is assuredly followed by the most
cordial good wishes Of the British
people. We are solely con
cerned with what Admiral Sims ac-
tual'y said for two reasons. One is
that every citizen in the United
States as we'll as every one IN this
country, is perfectly aware that Ad-
miral Sims spoke the exact truth The
other is trat speeches on the subject
made in the United States Senate
show that the enemies alike Of Amer
lea and England lose no opportunity
in trying to create irrtat on between
the two nations.
All Irish Are Bad.
when Admiral Sims says that
Sim Fein is trying to sap the good
relations between the two nations
which we're established while we
were cooperating at sea, naturally
American Sim Fein does not like i.
We believe that the great mass OF
Americans, Ike the people of this
country, are highly resolved upon the
maintenance and the confirmation OF
the friendship between the two nations
upon which Their own peace and We
fare OF the world depends We there
fore confidently appeal to all good
to all 100 per cent-Americans to see
that the bad Irish, who are the curse
OF every land in VIII Ch they set foot,
are not permitted to work their wick
ed will #. We observe without sur
prise that person bearing the his
toric name of Timothy Healy head
of an American trade un on, is de-
missal of Admiral Sims from the
navF.
lt is OF course, part OF oluh rem
design to stir up political animosty
with regard to Adm raj Sims. Ameri-
cans are familiar with that kind of
manoeuyre and which lrish-Amerieans
are never tired OF practicing. For
many years they did their best in the
intervals OF plotting against England
to make government in the United
States impossible. As we understand
the matter, that is why America sup
press the saloon Deprived OF his
occupation. the Irish boss found a
congenial opening for his peculiar tai
ents II Sim Fein, and as Admiral
Sims observed, they were Americans
when they wanted money, but SIM
Finers when they were on the plat
form"
