RHODES SCHOLARS FIND

OXFORD, Oct. 14.-lt is estimated
that the average cost of an Ok
ford education is somewhat more
than $1,000 a year. For Americans
the cost is higher, as they are un-
able to spend the vacations cheaply
at home. Present costs are nearly
double those of pre-war years. When
the Rhodes Scholarships were insti.

was most ample, and some scholars

Navy HAS NO

Rear Admiral Says There Is
Low Morale in Navy,
Due Lack Confidence.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. - Rear
Admiral w. S. Sims, who command
ed the naval forces operating in
European waters during the World
War, today told the Coolidge Air
Board that "it is we'll known" the
Navy has mo definite air policy"
The Rear Admiral declared the
kind of conservatism was so ex-
traordinary that it is almost unbe-
lievable."
Hampering of naval air develop
ment the witness testified was at
tributed to unrest in the navy Ito
lack of confidence" in naval lead
ers and he cited the Shenandoah
disaster "as case in point"
Rear Admiral Sims added there
is lack of an intelligent. public in
terest which enables the National
Air Service to be put in politics to
determine appointments Of the high :
est naval positions"
Rear Admiral Sims said: For ex-
ample. l refer to Josephus Daniels,
Secretary OF Navy, in the Wilson
Cabinet, and his advisers OF un-
educated men. His friends are still
IN the saddle"
Sims declared further: This
group of men has authority to at
tempt exercise and control OF a
mass of detail. One OF the big
troubles with the Navy is that 1t
has been controlled many years by
uneducated men and unframed Of
fcers who have been appointed TO
the most important positions. This
is at the root OF the present trouble
and the present low morale, due to
lack OF confidence in the leaders. y
Praise for Mitchell.
Rear Admiral Sims disapproved or
Col. Mitchells triple defense plan
and said: Mitchell is bully good
fellow and deserves lot of praise.
He has done a lot Of good particu-
larly in bringing the question OF
aviation before a Board like this. .
Sims insisted the Navy air force
should be continued on tho present
status asserting naval fiiers must
''be trained in the ways of the
navy" He said If bombs were
placed close enough to vessel 1t
would make hole so big that the
