The Sims Case.

Rear Admiral Sims. it is cabled from
London. verifies and stands by his
luncheon speech. which has given
grave offense in this country and has
ELECTED prompt and pointed inquiry
from the Navy Department. He viz
tually invites investigation and re-
proof. if not more serious visitation in
punishment. The Senate has already
ordered an inquiry and a resolution
to the same effect is before the House.
Duplication Of congressional investiga-
tions is not necessary or desirable.
Indeed. there is hardly any reason for
an investigation at all. The matter
can well rest with the Secretary Of
the Navy. There is but little doubt
OF the truth Of the reports of the ad-
mirals utterances. He has. it would
seem, verified them sufficiently un-
officially and will doubtless do so Of.
ficially upon receipt Of Secretary
Denby's cablegram. The Secretary 8
action In wiring Immediately indicates
that the speech is viewed as improper
and it will require no prompting or
action by Congress to institute proper
proceedings at the Navy Department.
The incident is greatly to be de-
plored. Whatever may be felt on the
subject of the Irish agitation in this
country and the relations between the
United States and England. it is deeply
to be regretted that an officer Of the
American Navy OF anybody holding
an Official position under the govern
ment should employ language such as
that used by Admiral Sims at London
on Wednesday, and 1t is especially re-
sretable that when the propriety Of
his remarks was challenged the ad-
miral did not Immediately express re-
sret.

at sufficient distance to permit full
avoidance. At night every ship should
be slowed down to the point at which
its headway can be quickly checked
upon the first warming. Strong search
lights should be used necessarily after
dark.
In the case Of the Titanic it is be-
lieved that the ship struck Il great spur
Of Ice projecting beneath the surface
from the body Of the berg. This is not
an unusual condition. Only a small
portion Of ice shows above the water
and the greater mass. spreading usual
ly far out. lies beneath. There Is a
projecting spur" practically on every
side of each large berg. Thus the
radius of danger around large berg
is a wide one and ships must give
each floating mass Of ice distant pas
sage to avoid possible collision.

Aviation Fatalities.

Numerous aviation fatalities have
lately occurred. There seems to be a
veritable epidemic of air disasters.
Starting with the loss of seven men
in an ambulance plane near Indian
Head. next came the accident at Aber-
deem. where several lives were destroy
ell through premature bomb eX.
plosion. Since then there have been a
number OF ordinary mishaps. falling
planes and machine failures. The lat
est occurred yesterday near Colonial
Beach. when a marine flyer lost his
life in a tail spin, following the stalling
of the engine.
All OF these catastrophes were in line
of service. There was no fancy flying
in any of these cases. The only ques-
ton in them is as to whether full pre-
caution was taken against miShap in
each instance. The men who are fly
are contributing to the development Of
aviation. They should have the very
best planes that can be invented and
constructed. Experiments should be
worked out with minimum of risk
to life. The training Of novices should
be conducted with the greatest care.
1t will be a great mistake if it is as.
sumed that there must necessarily be
a certain percentage of fatalities in
aviation. 1t does not follow that be.
cause men are flying in heavier-than-
air machines they must pay definite
toll in life. Aviation can be made
safe. 1t is safer today probably than
at any time past. Save during the
war. there is more flying now than ever.
in commercial lines. in exhibitions and
in government service. and the gen.
eral percentage Of fatality is probably
not as large as it was before the war.
Still. this present series Of fatal mis-
adventures makes for some doubt as to
progress.

North Atlantic Ice.

Heavy ice is reported in the north
Atlantic. in larger quantities and far
ther south than at any time for nine
years, since the Titanic disaster in 1912.
Already two freighters have struck ice
and have been disabled, both. however,
proceeding under their own steam to
port. Warnings have been sent out
by the photographic office of the Navy
Department. giving the location Of
known bsrgs and foes and cautioning
all masters Of vessels to proceed with
caution in the field Of possible danger.
In 1912 4 similar condition prevailed.
Heavy ice masses were floating south,
making a lower latitude than usual
and crossing the steamer lanes. The
Titanic was warned Of this situation,
but she was nevertheless driven, on
her maiden voyage, at top speed
through the ice field and one Of the
most appalling disasters in the history
Of navigation resulted. There was no
conceivable reason to ignore the warn.

A Child at the Bar of Justice.

The law is fearsome thing. Tn

heart maybe the trappings must be
maintained to frighten as we'll as to

In Indiana an eleven-year-old boy
was on trial this week charged with
murder. Outside of officers Of the
court the place resembled a nursery,
according to those in attendance.
Nearly all of the witnesses, pro and
con. were children. A boy seven years
old had been shot at play. 1t was al
legged by the prosecution that the de-
fendant "wilfully and with malice
aforethought" did the shooting. there
fore he should be adjudged guilty.
The jury disagreed. II it had brought
in a verdict. what would have fol-
lowed? Surely not the hanging OF

SHOOTING STARS.

Summertime.

Summertime.
'Tis summertime-the roses fair
Lend languid perfume to the air,
AS melodies so soft arise
Like fragrance waited to the skies.
'Tis summertime-a baby walls,
The sun beats down and dust prevails.
A weary horse plods humbly through
The task he is. compelled to do.
And vapors fill the thoroughfare,
Where people breathe denatured air.
The cautious iceman scans the scales,
The sun beats down. A baby walls.
The songs are sweet that people sing
OF days that drift through blossoming.
'Tis summertime. Much must depend
On where you chance to be, my friend.
