ming, with his female impersonation.
With his dainty French shoes, charm
ing costumes and beautiful colt

and superb, trilling the high soprano
notes of his solos in a birdlike intona-
ton.

BELFAST, May 26.-Belfast was as ex-
cited tonight as at any time since
the opening of the campaign. Streets
were crowded and professions marched
to and fro, accompanied by police and
armored cars. There was considerable
sniping and firing from houses and
street fighting.
Two cars were stationed outside the
National Club in the centre Of the city
for the purpose of stopping a demon
stration organized by Mr.. Devlin's fol-
lowers, which, 1t was feared, might
start rioting. But in other parts OF
tho city the celebrations were not in
tcrfered with, although every step
was taken TO keep the opposing fac
tions apart.
Considerable excitement was caused
by the placing OF fog alarms under the
wheels of street cars, causing reports
like rifle shots. The Nationalists final
ly held their demonstration, but came
within an ace of causing a tragedy,
as the soldiers were under a severe
nervous strain due in part TO the fog
signals and in part to revolver shots
from windows, and only the cautious
action of the well trained police in
inducing the people to return home be-
fore the curfew prevented trouble.

American naval forces in the war zone
during the last two years OF the world
war. told Admiral Beatty, commander
OF the British Grand Fleet. and a dis
tinguished assemblage OF British and
American naval men and other promi-
nent persons to-day that the British had
been disposed to give the American
Navy too much credit for the part 1t
played in the allied victory.

the Pilgrims Society in his honor. Ad-
mlral Sims said: "The British Grand
Fleet was the keystone in the allied

very strong English accent"
Admiral Sims waved aside personal
tributes from Admiral Beatty and Lord
Desborough, asserting that had the
command of the American naval forces
in Europe been entrusted to ono or the
forty or fifty other American officers
eligible in rank, the result would vir-
tually have been the same. lie said
that when America entered the war
things on the European side were in a

comes of the freemasonry OF the sea-
no question of personal preference was
involved"
While commanding in Europe, 40

American forces "as reserves coming
up from the rear He paid a tribute
to England as a land of personal lib
erty, where he knew he could get a
drink of any kind he wanted il he came
to England fifty years hence.
Admiral Beatty hailed the American
Admiral as one of the worlds naval
leaders, whose coming to Europe In
Great Britain's hour OF need not only
saved America and Britain, but the
world. He called Admiral Sims "the
father of gunnery,' and testified to the
absence Of friction and the hearty CO.
operation which had marked the rela-
tions of the navies.
Admiral Sims, with Mrs. Sims, drove
to the cenotaph in Whitehall this after
noon and placed a wreath at it's base
bearing the inscription From Rear Adj
miral and Mrs. Sims. U. S. A. The
wreath was tied with the American
colors. The Admiral then drove To
