CANDY TO
Be SOLD At PLAY

In connection with the repetition of
"The Man Who Owns Broadway"
which will be given tomorrow even
ing at S:15 in st. Mary's Hall for
the benefit of the Emergency Hospi-
tai, attention is called to the fact that
reserved seat tickets are now on sale
at T. Kent Green's Drug Store.
AS this play is extremely clever and
as the entire proceeds derived from
Fridays performance will be added
to the funds Of the Emergency, it is
hoped that every person who has not
seen it will arrange to attend the play
tomorrow night.
Mrs. G. A. Moss is in charge of
the publicity for the occasion.
Mrs. Benjamin L. Hopping is chair
man of the committee that will con-
duct the sale of candy in connection

lowing ladies are the members of her
committee: Mrs. Leonard Clark, Mrs
Lulu Shepherd, Mrs. Charles Basil,
Mrs. VIM. Flood and Miss Helene Far
rell. AS every lady on this commit
tee is deservedly famous for success
in making candy there is every rea-
son to believe that this feature of to-
morrow nights affair will net the
hospital considerable profit.
The committee is soliciting dona-
tions of brown, granulated and con-
fectioners' sugar, Karo syrup, Eng
lish walnuts and cocoanut. Every
one desirous of assisting the hospital

WILSON SPENT TWO
YEARS AT WAR COLLEGE

The recent attack of Rear-Ad-
miral William s. Sims on certain
high appointments within the ma
val service, including that of
Rear-Admiral Henry B. Wilson
as Superintendent of the Naval
Academy, has brought forth a
sharp rebuke from Secretary of
the Navy DENLY. The chief
point of Admiral Sims criticism
was not having an officer who is
a graduate of the Naval War
College as commander-in-ch of
the United States fleet, as chief
OF naval operations and as super
intendent of the Naval Academy.
the officers aimed at evidently be-
ing Rear-Admirals Robert Z.
Coontz, Edward w. Eberle and
Henry B. Wilson.
Sims Essayed Role OF Critic
Secretary Denby's rebuke to Ad-
miral Sims is in these words: 81 find
ii hard to believe that Admiral Sims
made the statements attributed to him.
cannot believe any officer would
show such utter disloyalty to the
service"
1t seems that Admiral Sims has in
recent years several times assumed
the role of critic, and that he has been
out of harmony with the administra-
tion of the Navy Department for some
time. During the war he attacked
certain of the departments policies
in the conduct of the war Later he
attacked the system of awarding naval
decorations, and only recently in a
public speech in California denfended
certain phases of the German system
of naval warfare. Another contro-
versy in which Admiral Sims was the
principal figure was the result OF a
bitter attack which he made upon the
Irish. This dispute ended in a public
rebuke of the Admiral by Secretary of
the Navy DENLY. In 1910, Admiral
Sims, then commander, first attract
ed attention by a hands-across-the-
sea speech, for which he was rebuked
by President Taft A few months
later, however, he was raised to the
rank of captain.

hfty women and girls, either colored

BIG OBSTACLE OVERCOME

The midshipmens varsity and

compete in the Poughkeepsie and

announcement to this effect has been
made by Superintendent Wilson. of
the Naval Academy. The Pough-
keepsie classic will be staged on the
Hudson, June %, and the Henley on
the Schuylkill, May 2S.
Join Cruising Ships Later
Rear-Admiral Wilson had previous
ly ruled against both of these outside
competitions because of interference
with the midshipmen's professional
work, this being particularly the case
as regards the Poughkeepsie event,
which necessitates the loss of about
one month from the summer practice
cruise. Now, however it is felt that
satisfactory arrangement can be
made for transporting the oarsmen
to the practice squadron Immediately
after the race and thereby lose only
part of the cruise
Wilson Makes Statement
In reaching his decision regarding
these races, Admiral Wilson made the
following statement
"A very important part of the mid
shipments training comes from the
experience gained on shipboard dur
ing the annual practice cruise, and
lacking assurance of transportation to
the ships of the squadron, the Super
intendent has felt constrained to with
hold his permission for the members
of the crew to sacrifice themselves
