TO RETRACT
Adm. Sims Declines To Go Back
On London Speech.
Refuses to Resudlate Reported Attack
on lrish Sympathizers
In America.

London-Rear Admiral William S.
Sims, U. S. N, is quoted by the Press
association as saying with regard to
the speech he delivered on the Irish

II stand by all / said, every word Of
II. | will not repudiate a single word
| said, and see nothing un-American
in 1t, even II Senator Mccormick
Admiral Sims, who said he had not
received the cablegram reported to
have been sent him by Secretary of the
Navy DENLY inquiring If the admiral
was correctly quoted in the press re-
ports CT his speech, has arranged to
have the cable message delivered to
him as soon as 1t reaches London.
Admiral Sims speech was given a
prominent place on the front pages of
London newspapers, but there has
been a noticeable absence of editorial
comment or his declarations.
Speaking at a luncheon given by the
English-speaking union at London,
Tuesday, Admiral Sims was reported
TO have made a bitter attack upon Irish
sy~mpathizers in America. He was said
to have declared:
They are like z~ebras-either black
horses with white stripes or white
horses with black stripes. But we know
they are not horses-they are asses.
Each of these asses. however. has a
vote, and there are lots of them"
He declared that the persons he as
sailed we're Americans when they
want money, but Sim Felners when
on the platform" and added, they are
making war on America today" &C.
cording to cabled versions of the adj
miral's remarks.
