In London Tuesday Rear Admiral
Sims and Sir Owen Phillips were
among those who delivered addresses
at luncheon Of the English.speakiRg
union. This is taken from q press
cable:
Sir Owen Phillips. president Of the
British chamber Of Shipping, vhe pre-.
sided, said he was not one who look
ed with q critical eye 1T the evolution
Of the American mercantile marine
He declared that British shipping men
should seek to work in harmony with
eur comrades across the sea-"
There is some expectation on both
sides Of the water-Sir Owen evidently
knows of it on his side-that the de-
velopment of q strong American mer.
chant marine will not make for good
feeling between England and America;
that. on the contrary, it may lead to
trade chickering's of a dangerous char,
acter.
This need not be. There is room
enough on the waters for the merchant
fleets of both countries. And why not
trade enough when the world Of trade
gets going again for the profitable
operation Of both?

Admiral Sims 10 paying the penalty

Auinlral Sims ID paying the penalty
Of popularity. In England he is a well
come figure. During the war he made
good as commander of the American
naval forces. Whenever he appears
at a public function in that country
he Is cheered and encouraged to speak.
He speaks fluently and effectively. But
he is not always discreet. His speech
at London the other day at luncheon
was quite the reverse of discretion.
1t was, indeed. If it has been correctly
reported. decidedly improper for a per-
son wearing the uniform of the United
States and holding an official position.
Regardless Of the matter or the senti-
ments, it was bad break. Now the
admiral has been called upon for an
explanation. Unless the reports of the
speech are incorrect he is due for an
unpleasant experience.
No man can speak with entire free.
dom 80 long as he in any degree rep
resents government. Whatever his
relations with the public organization.
while there is a relation he must
curb his speech to conform to the
public policies. Admiral Sims present
offense of indiscretion is not his first.
He has transgressed the strict rules of
official propriety heretofore. Such
utterances might very gravely COM
promise the government, but the
promptness with which they have been
challenged will in this case remove all
political consequences.

Back on the Job at Eighty.FouY.


Washington A. Roebling, aged
eighty -four. was the other day elected
president Of the engineering and con-
struction company with which his
family name has been prominently
identified for seventy-five years and
notable since his father. John A. Roeb-
ling. built the Brooklyn bridge. The
newly elected president had retired
from active duty. but the recent
death of 2 nephew necessitated his
return to the head of the company.
There is something particularly i'm
pressive in this spectacle of veteran
stepping into the breach caused by
the death Of a junior. The Roeblings
have been remarkable people. The
elder. John. did what was by some
engineers believed to be impossible
when he spanned the East river with
a suspension bridge. For many years
it vas one Of the wonders Of the west
ern world. Other big undertakings
have been achieved by this family.
Now the eldest of them all goes back
to daily duty. despite his nearly eight
and a half decades. This case is a
rebuke to the pessimists who aver that
modern business men are, by their
stresses and strains, lowering the aver.
sve Of human life.

The Republican Committee.

The new chairman Of the republican
national committee takes Office with
an experience which insures full ap-
probation of its responsibilities. As
vice chairman he became acquainted
with the duties of the Craftsmanship,
and his promotion is a reward for
faithful services in the subordinate
post.
Moreover. he will have the bene-
fit, as will the committee, of the advice
Of Mr.. Hays. who. although occupied
with the affairs of the Post Office De-
partneut, will yet keep up interest in
his party. and be available for advice
in organization matters.
Mr.. Hays in his valedictery said
some very sensible things. The past
is very fine. and secure. But the fu.
ture needs to be carefully looked to.
Because the country went republican
in 1918, and smashingly so last ear,
is no warrant in itself for believing
that the performance will be repeated
next year. The next campaign will
have to be planned and conducted on
conditions that then exist.
Those conditions will not be made,
cannot be made, by the national COM
mittee. In large measure they will
be made by the administration and by
Congress. If the Presidents policies
and the legislation enacted by Con-
xress redeem the promises of the Chi
caso platform and inure to the coun-
try's benefit. the committees work will
be easy. Another republican victory
will certainly be achieved. Otherwise.
the efforts of the committee, no mat
ter how energetieally made. will be
likely to go for nothing.
AS usual. the republicans are get

ment was placed. with practically no
margin between street and wall. 1t
was. in a measure, avoided when the
Municipal building was given a park
front setting, though the east, south
and west walls were brought to the
street lines.
In the construction Of government
buildings in Washington henceforth
precaution should be taken to avoid
this fault. to give each structure Il
park setting that will at the least not
encroach upon the street lines. unless,
indeed, as in the case Of the patent
office. a double square is taken and a
street is closed for a block. To insure
such empiacements the plan was long
ago urged that the government take
the entire "Mall-AveHue triangle" ly-
ing between the Botanic Garden and
the Ellipse, and, treating it as whole,
instead Of as series OF city blocks
locate the needed public buildings upon
it with reference to their immediate
and possible future requirements. The
government has already bought the
western strip Of squares and holds
them in tenancy; that section would
make q suitable setting for one, pos
sibiy two buildings. but not for the
three that were originally contem'
plated for the location.
1t is now proposed in the King bill
to move the sidewalk line on G street
back to the north line of the portico.
in order to straighten the car lines.
and in the event Of a remodeling Of
the exterior Of the building and the
removal of the south portico steps a
similar shifting of the F street side
walk and tracks is contemplated. This
would involve further crowding of
the building itself by the street. fault
which should in no circumstances be
repeated in any future public struc-
ture emplacement and design.

the building was designed it should
have had at least thirty feet more
space all around. Had it been planned
with lower main floor. with the prin-
cipal entrances practically at the street
level, there would have been barely
room eSnugh. But the elaborate
southern portico. with its broad ap.
preach steps, made an invasion Of the
street necessary. and the other en-.
trance steps ran close to the street
lines. The simple fact is that the site
chosen was Inadequate for the build

That was not an unusual fault in

been repeated in modern times. 1t

Sometimes the law works peculiarly.
While justice is in theory no respecter

his advantage. There is the case of

arrived at. Likewise their disagree
ments. The combinations are some
times Of a very spirited character, and
especially where disagreements result.
Some details get through the doors,
but never enough to satisfy the pub
lies curiosity.
A saving arrangement, however, is
found in the disposition Of conference
reports. They can be openly discussed
when made. and in that way the public
advised as to the gist Of the commit
tees sessions.
Let US hope that such may be the
case this time; that all conference re-
ports may be discussed with due ap-
probation of their importance. The
country is greatly interested in the
Navy and the Army, the tariff prob
lem and the tax problem, and details
