THAT peppery sea fighter Admiral
= Sims seems to have stirred up
more trouble by his rather unfe-
strained utterances. In a dispatch
carried by news agency he was
quoted as saying:
I'm my opinion, the attitude of the
Navy department toward the naval
war college has long been crime.
The appointment of an officer who is
not graduate of the war college Cad
miral Coontz) to command the great
United States fleet is crime against
the people, and so is the appointment
Of nongraduate to the most impor-
tant position in the Navy department
that of chief of naval operation Cad
miral Eberle).
'More than half of the officers given
preference in the transfers recently
were not graduates Of the war col
lege. The service Is disguised with the
disguised that the same old
game of service politics is being
played. 1t believes that the best place
is a seat next to the dealer in Wash
ington. Personal influences bring
greater rewards than war college
training"
Secretary Denby's comment was: II
find it hard to believe that Admiral
Sims made the statements attributed
to him. cannot believe that any Of
ficer would show such disloyalty to
the service"

United STATES District Judge
~ John g. Knox in New York has
dealt something of a blow to the Vol
stead law by handing down an opinion
holding void that section of the act
which limits to one pint every ten
days the amount of liquor which
physician may prescribe for patient.
The court held that this limitation
puts restriction on sick persons not
intended in the eighteenth amendment.
Death might even result from depriv-
ing sick person of liquor at critical
periods, the court points out.

TN ANNUAL convention in New
York the Chamber of Commerce Of
the United States took three i'm
portant actions concerning the future
Of American railroads. First, the
chamber as a whole adopted resolu-
tion urging it's members, civic bodies
and the public in general to engage
quickly in united effort to restore
the railroads to sound and profitable
position in "the forefront of American
business"
Second, the chambers committee on
governmental relations to transporta-
ton, headed by George A. Post, pre-
scented a report in which the belief
was reiterated that the roads should
be owned and operated by private cap
ital under government regulation.
Third, the report of the committee
on railroad consultations, headed by
Carl r. Gray, president Of the Union
Pacific system, urged a general con-
solidation of all roads into possibly
twenty great systems, but specifically
maintained that such merging OF
facilities should not be allowed to af-
feet through rates based on long estab-
lished rate basing points.

OIYET TO CALVARY
Last Days of Christ on Earth to Be Recalled at cantata at St. Marks rIxuv,oIS

Church.
 Malcolm c. Humphrey. organist and choirmaster of St. Marks Pro- testant Episcopal church, has com- pleted final plans for the presentation of the cantata "Olivet to Calvary" by J. II. Maonder at the church tomor- row evening at 7:l5 o'clock.
 Lester Hume will sing the soprano role; James r. Martin. tenor and Ralph Britton, baritone.
 "Olivet to Calvary" recalls simply and reverently the scenes which mark the last few days of Christ's life on earth, and some of the re- factions suggested thereby. The re- joicing of the multitude with ho- sannas and palms. the view of Je- rusalem from the steep of Olivet, the lament over the beautiful city, the scene in the temple, and the lonely walk back over the mount at night, form the chief features of the first part.
 Part two opens with the Supper of the Passover, at which Jesus washes His disciples feet, and gives to His friends the new commandment of love for another as the sign of true discipleship. From this the scene passes to the infinite pathos of the Garden of Gethsemane, the sudden appearance of the hostile crowd, Jesus forsaken by His disciples, His utter loneliness among ruthless foes. the tumult before Pilate in the Judg- ment hall, the Passage of the. Cross, the tragedy and triumph, of Calvary.
