ADMIRAL SIMS SAYS
SPEECH M|GQU0TED
WRITTEN STATEMENT BEARING
ON TALK MADE IN LONDON
GIVEN SEC. OF U. S. NAVY
Admiral Sims Says Report or Speech
Sent Over BY Cable Was Misquot-
ed in Many Places And Wrong
Impression Made

WaShingtOn.-In a formal report
pointing out certain Inaccuracies in the
cabled reports, but retracing none Of
the statements made in his speech in
London before the English-speaking
union concerning SIM Feiners in Ire
in the United States, Admiral Sims,
Thursday, replied to Secretary Den
by's demand for an explanation Of his
remarks on that occasion.
Secretary DENLY refused to comment
on his interview with the Admiral or
to make known in what degree the re-
ports of the speech varied from what
the Admiral actually said, nor would
he give out the admiral's statement.
He said however, that he would reach
decision at an early date, and would
then make public all the facts in the
case.
admiral Sims denied the accounts"
the secretary said. HE said he had
been incorrectly quoted. l gave him a
statements and ASKED him to inform
HE in writing wherein he was misquOt-
ed and to tell me, if he could. what
he did say in that speech. asked him
to give me an early reply. My mem-
orandum was an official ccmmunica-
ton to Admiral Sims in the form Of an
ORDER"
Sims reported at the department at
$50 O'Clock Thursday and in two
minute interview with the secretary re-
ceived from him formal letter to
which he submitted a reply in writing
before leaving the department about an
houre later.
Although the admiral would not per-
init himself to be interviewd his
friends insist that he retraced nothing
and eXplaind only certain inaccuracies
occurring in the reports of his speech in
the American press, which is some pa
pers gave rise to the impression that
what the admiral said of Sim Fem
activities at Queenstown during the
war applied to all Irish-Americans in
the United States at the present time.
This says his friends. he never meant
and did not say. His report to the sec
rotary of the navy was based on the
stenOgraphic reports of his words in
the London papers and his own recol-
lection and that of others present of
what he said, the speech having been
made withOu. preparation and without
notes.

SIGN-MAPS ASSIST TRAVELLER
Example Set by State Of Maryland

Other CommonweaIths.

Maryland has set an example that
might profltably be followed by all
states. says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Instead OF the curt and usually un-
satisfying road sign that leaves the
traveller frequently more puzzled than
before. Maryland has begun to erect
sign-maps that tell the traveller where
no is; that Indicate the general direc-
tion to other points and the distances
between such points. Thus, instead
of being told a road leads to some
place the tourist may never have
heard of. the sign-inap will show him
that 1t is either on or Off the way to
the place he Is anxious to reach.
Such sign-maps should not be neces-
sarily expensive to put up, nor elabor.

demonstration last spring II the
farmers i'm the district would con-
tribute materials and labor. The re-
Spouse was gratifying. Nineteen men
and five teams were furnished, and
In two and half days the road and
bridge were completed. Everything
needed was on hand in the community
so that no time was lost going to the
mill for anything, the only expense
being $1.20 invested In nails. The
road was constructed with both gravel
and corduroy.
The demonstration was one of the
most successful ever carried out in the
country. Nothing could have met with
more general approval and satisfac-
ton. One farmer who makes two trips
to market a week said he would save
over $40 on every trip over the new
road because Of the shorter haul.
About 500 people will be benefited by
the improvement.

lunir vegetation. And he takes
particular pains not to say that there
Is intelligent animal life on the moon.
One thing Is sure-Professor Pickering
Is one of the greatest living astron-
omers and has been studying the moon
pretty steadily for two years.
WHAT'S more, Camille Flammarion,
the famous French astronomer, says
Professor Pickering is probably right,
as he himself has photographed
phenomena on the moon which In
dicates the existence of vegetation.
Professor Pickering Is now In
Europe. His colleague, Professor S. l.
Bailey Of Harvard, says:
professor Pickering has not as yet
been able to convince many astron-
omers that he Is right In his dis
covery of life on the moon. He has
made a prolonged study OF the sub
ject with telescope at Jamaica and
Is convinced that the markings which
he finds on the moon are caused by
vegetation, but some others think the
markings are shadows. My own atti-
tude is one Of doubt.
"No scientific man has advanced the
theory that there Is intelligent life on
the moon. II there Is life, II Is he
lieved to be low form. OF course,
no one can say positively that In
telligent life does not exist there"
professor Pickering is perfectly
right IN assuming that perfected
optical science will enable astronomers
to make Invaluable research bearing
on life on the moon, which until now
has been regarded as glacial world"
declared Camille Flammarion. In
Paris.

"The most rational hypothesis is

ain this case the moon will have

are probably what Pickering and my
self have observed"
In his report on this phase OF his
study of the moon, which has just been
published in Popular Astronomy, II
scientific publication issued at North
field, Mimi. Prof. Pickering criticises
astronomers In severe terms for
neglecting the study q: the moon, be-
cause of an improved hypothesis that
II was lifeless. He emphasized the
fact that Mars Is 200 times further
away from the earth than the moon Is,
so that other things being equal, 200
times as much detail can be seen on
the moon as on Mars. Prof. Pickering
Is one of the chief living authorities
on Mars, where he believes that life
exists
When the moon energies from Its
two weeks of darkness and degree
of cold probably unknown on earth,
the suns light quickly warns up the
fields In the great moon craters, some
of which are many miles across, and
starts, a mushroomlike growth of life
there, according to the Pickering
theory. This fiourishes during the
long moon day.
Professor Pickering found Canals
or runs" Of vegetation on the moon,
ms on Mars. and was able, because of
the nearness of the moon, to trace the
intricate patterns OF growing fields,
as he regarded them.
He did this with an inferior tele-
scope at the Harvard Observatory at
Vaudeville, Jamaica, which location Is
Of special advantage In examining the
moon. His instrument, n small one, Is
more than fifty years old. His re-
searches are expected to result In
bringing powerful telescopes to bear
on the moon for the special study OF
living things alleged to be found in the
craters.
