An additional gift Of several
hundred thousand dollars by
Pierre S. DUPONT for the i'm
provement of educational facil-
tiles in Delaware will be welcom-
ed by all supporters of and we'll
wishers for our public school
system. AS the Evening Journal
truly says: 1T is one Of numer-
Gus gifts by this patron Of edu-
cation whose public-spirited ben
efactions evidently are undimin-
ished by failure of the Legisla-
ture to do several things along
sound and forward-looking lines
that had been advocated to ad-
vance the cause of education in
= Delaware. Mr.. DUPONT is busy
man, engrossed with deep prob
lens associated with numerous
industrial and financial activities
but he finds time to envision the
educational needs Of his State
and to bestow a portion of his
wealth for the benefit of the
boys and girls who need it most
the public school pupils who
are to become the future citizens
Of our commonwealth. If MI.
dupont was disappointed over
the failure Of the recent Legis-
lature to adopt an educational
program and provide for school
revenues in the form that he had
hoped for, he never publicly has
uttered an unkind or ungener-
Gus word to show his disappoint-
ment. That he should have been
disappointed would only be ma
tural. Perhaps, some day, there
will be the fullest measure Of ap-
probation and Of gratitude Of
what this fine, far-sighted man
has done for the public educa-
tional system Of Delaware"

NEWPORT. r. l., May i7.-Ad.
miral William s, Sims, commander.
in-chief OF the American naval
forces in Europe during the war, de-
clared in an exclusive interview
with international News Service
today that the Army-Navy man
euyers now in progress in this re.
gion emphasize the strategic I'M.
portance of Narragansett Bay for
the establishment Of a real naval
base.
: 1.-THE American public says hold
Hawaii. 1t protects San Francisco .
said Admiral Sims. but It never
seems to realize that we have no
Honolulu in the Atlantic to pro.
tect New York City and the great
Industrial East from q possible
foreign invasion"
This eminent authority on naval
affairs, distinguished looking man,
tall and straight, was interviewed in
the study OF his beautiful home a
short distance from Narragansett
Bay.
Blames the Politicians
1.-THE Narragansett Bay Is big
enough to handle the entire Ameri-
can fleet" he said. "but. instead of
developing Narragansett as a Naval
base we have built political Navy
yards at nearly dozen places os-
ton, Portsmouth. N. H.; New York
City. League Island. Philadelphia,
Norfolk, Va; Charleston, G.. S.;
Key West and Pensacola, Fla.
None are adequate to handle the
entire Atlantic fleet, so as to re-
condition it within q reasonable
time.
These yards are maintained for
political. not strategical reasons"
Admiral Sims could speak with
authority regarding the harbor here.
He was once in charge of the War
College here. once commanded two
battleships in this region and again
was in charge of flotilla that
operated along the North Atlantic
coast. His home has been In New
port since 1911.
