had come between. There was no
chance to shoot: Whisperfoot and the
girl were too near together for that
But one course remained: and there
was not even time to count the cost.
In this most terrible moment of Dan
Failing's life, there was not even an
instant's hesitation. He did not know

saw the beast creeping forward in the
weird dancing light of the fallen lam

It was the test; and Dams instincts

prone body of the girl. And she open

battle that, as the lantern flashed out,

Admiral SIMS StirS Up Hornets
Nest by His London Speech
About the Irish.
SECRETARY or NAVY ACTS
Mexico Told She Must Sign Treaty to
Obtain ecognition-Pueblo Ris-
ing From Flood Disaster
New Parliament Of North
ern ireland Meets.
BY EDWARD W. PlcKARD.

Some of our eminent Americans
have Il positive genius for saying the
wrong thing when they are abroad.
Closely following the extraordinarily
tactleSs utterances Of Ambassador
Harvey in his first address in London
comes the speech of Admiral Sims at
a meeting of the English Speaking
union in the British metropolis. He
Is quoted in the press as saying:
Il do not want to touch on the
Irish question, for | know nothing
about it, But there are many in our
country who technically are Ameri-
cans, some of them naturalized and
some born there, but none of them
Americans at all. They are Americans
when they want money, but Sim
Feiners when on the platform. They
are making war on America today.
The simple truth Of it is that they
have the blood of the British and
American boys on their hands for the
instructions they placed in the way
of the most effective operation Of the
allied naval forces during the war
They are like zebras, either black
horses with white stripes or white
horses with black stripes But we
know they are not horSCs~they are
asses. But each of these asses has n
vote and there are lots Of them"
OF course the numerous friends Of
Stree Ireland" In the United States
were enraged by these words, and
Senator Medill Mccormick Of Illinois
went to the front promptly, denomc-
ing the admirals speech as repre-
hensibe and disgusting" He called
the attention of Secretary of the Navy
DENLY to the address and asked that
Sims be disciplined If it developed
that he had been correctly quoted.
Without bothering the President
with the affair, Secretary DENLY
cabled to Admiral Sims the substance
of the press reports and ordered him
to inform tie department Immediately
whether or not he had used the Ian.
guage attributed to him.
The senate, taking to itself some
of the admira's harsh expressions.
unanimously duopteQ resolution or
dering the naval affairs committee to
make thorough investigation Of The
matter
Forecasting his reply to Secretary
DENLY, Admiral Sims declared he
would not repud,ate single word Of
his speech.
No doubt both Ambassador Harvey
and Admiral Sims thought they were
engaged in the laudable task of main
tanning and enhancing the amlcable
relations between the two great Eng
lish Speaking nations: but If they had
wisdom comparable with their years
and experience they would have
known that utterances Ike theirs al
ways injure rather than aid that
cause. On the other hand. It is unde-
niably true that the efforts Of cheap
American politicians to eutangle this
country in the Irish controversy are
