SIMS SAYS PLANES. WILL HOLD KEY TO. POWER OF NATIONS.
TESTS ON GERMAN BATTLESHIPS AND AMERICAN VESSELS SHOW BATTLESHIPS CAN BE SUNK BY RELATIVELY SMALL BOMBS

WASHINGTON, D. o., Feb. 27 (AP) Admiral Sims read to the House Air craft Committee an article he wrote three years ago, declaring "airplanes will hold the key to the power of na- tions." The article said that tests against the German battleship Ostfres- land, showed relatively small bombs could sink vessel and no vessel long exposed to an air attack could escape. He said the Panama Canal could be de- tended if protected by an air force greater than that of an attacking air force and predicted an era of competi- tive building of mobile naval air forces"
 Would Omit Battleships
 Admiral Sims declared that he would omit battleships if he were making up the United States navy. He pronounced battleships obsolete, and said that aircraft carriers had re- placed battleships in importance. He stated: "Our position on the Pacific is unfortunate. If we are to protect the Philippines, we must have base in the Pacific"
 He remarked that the Washington treaty protected the United States in respect to battleships and airplane carriers, "but the armament race is still going great. Britain has fifty fast cruisers, and Japan thirty, with S3 thousand tons of submarines built since the war"
 He asserted that high officials in the Navy were unsympathetic with the Naval war on Coolidge. He said the men surrounding Daniels and Denby had never attended this war college.
 Opposes Unified Air Service
 Admiral Sims vigorously opposed the creation of unified air service, as urged by Brigadier General Mitch ell, but urged and indorsed the crea- tiOn of powerful aviation branch of the United States Navy.

Col Robert c. Clowry, after climb ing from messenger boy to the presidency of the Western Union Telegraph Company, answered the question: What are young mans chances today as compared with when you were boy?" by saying.
 "A young mans opportunities are as good now as they ever were. It all depends on the young man. The wealth of the country has increased faster than the right kind of young men have developed. Expansion of business has unlimited opportunities. Industry, perseverance, integrity and intelligence are what is wanted. All the great corporations keep in touch with the capacity of their men. Therefore, the young man who has the stuff in him is bound to get ahead
 Born on farm in Will county, H. linois, September 8, 1888, young Glow ry gained a common school educa- ton and, in 1852, became a messen- ger for the Illinois and Missouri Tel egraph Company-later a Western Union subsidary-at Joliet, III. For the first six months, although re- quired to work 12 to If hours a day, he received no pay
 Away from home and ambitious to become telegrapher he did extra work to maintain himself
 "Yet I was happy and prosperous, 7 he said years later, "for I was in dependent and was engaging in a business I enjoyed and that fasci- mated me"
 At the end of the first year, al- though only 16, Clowry was made manager of the company's offices at Lockport, and when 21, became SUD- erintendent of the company.
 Colonel Clowry gained his title in the Civil war which he entered as a captain in 1863. It is related of him that, at that time, he was prob ably the first man ever to employ wireless" telegraphy. He was in command of a force at a certain rail- road point in Missouri. The night was dark and rainy and he was un- able to communicate with a larger unit of Union troops across the river because the enemy had cut the wires. There was danger of his being trap ped Suddenly he heard the toot of locomotive on the other side of the river and an idea flashed into his mind
 A short distance from his tent stood locomotive. He at once climbed into the cab, seized the whistle cord and began to jerk it in a manner which caused number of weird blasts. The overawed engineer and fireman were mystified Again and again Clowry repeated his series of wild toots until, finally, his ear caught from the other bank of the river an answering signal The op- orator at headquarters had heard the whistle footing his own code ''call" and found means at once to respond. The result was the reinforcement of Clowry and his men and their escape from capture.
 Mustered out of service in 1866 and brevetted "for meritorious service and devoted application to duty," Colon el Clowry went back to commercial telegraphy and soon rose to. be SUD- erintendent of the Western Union lines in the southwest When he
