Sims Says BattIeships viii
Be Replaced in Fu-
ture Warfare.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 31.-The sub.
marine and the airplane will replace
the battleship in future wars, Rear
Admiral william s. Sims says in the
New York Times today.
1.-THE battleship was once the back
bone Of the feet; it is no longer"
Admiral Sims told Judson c. Welliver,
director of public relations OF the
.s-.aerican Petroleum Institute, who
navs the admiral's opinions to the
Mines. 1.-THE submarine and the air.
name have put an end to its reign;
they have clipped the wings of sea
power"
I'm another war" Admiral Sims as
aerts, ''the best thing to do with our
hattleships would be to send them
a. far as possible up the Mississippi
River, out of harms way. and send
but submarines and aircraft to do
our fghting."
Undersea craft and airplanes. he
continues, would make a naval block
ade impossible. Anti-aircraft guns on
a rolling ship would be ineffective
against airplanes. he added. LAS to
the submarine" he says, there is
no answer to it."
Admiral Sims cites the refusal of
other nations at the Washington con-
ference to agree to Great Britain's
suggestion to outlaw the submarine.
1.-THE development Of the submarine
has ended the possibility of any
power in future rating as mistress
OF the sea-" he asserts.
Availability of oil supplies on both
coasts allow the United States an
advantage in maintaining its Navy.
"All navies are now on the oil
burning basis" he declares, 'but
no other naval power possesses its
ewn oil as does the United States"

SWEDEN AND POLAND
AGREE ON ARBITRATION
Final Notifications of Treaty Elk
changed by Nations-Runs for
Three-Year Periods.

By the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, March 81
Sweden and Poland have exchanged
final notifications of the special arbi-
tration treaty recently negotiated be-
tween them. 1t provides that all dis
putes which cannot be settled by
ordinary diplomatic means must be
submitted to a Cancellation process,
later going, If necessary, to The Hague
tribunal.
The treaty runs for threesyear
periods with automatic extensions,
unless denounced by either party. In
the past Sweden and Poland have
fought many bloody wars and at one
time were ruled by the same king.

faditis, than which there is nothing announcer. possessing high pitched voice and a high speed enunciator, seemed to be running a race with the fighters. He was talking so fast that most of his descriptions must have been prophecy. We cant un- derstand how any two fighters could move so fast as to keep mp with that machine gun fire description.
 Red Nichols and his prize group of musical maniacs (we mean to be plimentary) provided dance tunes from WOR at 10:S0 o'clock. That band is one of the hottest on the air and we don't mean hello. Wild and woolly. but possessing definite structure and demonstrat- ing clever workmanship, each num- Der is a gem in it's own field. The station was loud enough now and then.
 WJAX, Jacksonville, Florida, came through extremely loud, pre- senting a dance orchestra in an ar engagement of "Who's That Knocking At My Door," Nothing remarkable except the power of the station Others heard were WBBM, WLS, WEEI, WRC, WMCA, WSAl, WILT, kDKA and WRVA.
 Santa Claus, a gentleman who is very busy at this time Of the year. has had his duties increased by the | demands of radio stations for ap- 1 pearance before their microphones. ! The latest station added to santa s | list is WGY, Schenectady, and he will chat to children from that sta- i ton every evening beginning next Tuesday at 6:30 o'clock.

Through he Static

Conditions were rather queer last evening. There seemed to be plenty of volume, but 1t didn't do us much good, due 10 the quantity of slag and sleet that was flying around all night. There was code galore and, really, we had to be content with higher powered stations. Of course, many of those not usually called higher came through strong, so we included them in our list, also. Not the best night in the world, by a long shot,
 WIZ took an awful beating at the hands of the code. The buzzing Of the messages certainly raised hob with the upper reaches Of the dlal- ing system and it also took a shot at the lower reaches from time to time. Well, we heard parts of O. Henry's story, "The Man Higher Up" one of those intensely enter tanning dramatizations, which brought the characters to us in llV- ing, breathing form. The story was rather perforated, but we managed 10 piece together the odds and ends of fiction, that were flying around and so we had pretty good time. The Cities Service concert pro gram, with orchestra and quartet, was decidedly restful the numbers played being conducive to great peace of mind. It was a program to make one dream of sunny summer days and blue skies and babbling brooks and--wcll. it was splendid. The Cavaliers added materially 10 l the program by singing a widely varied group of numbers. We heard 1 it, from WTIC.
 WISE, Atlanta, came through loud when it felt like it, which wasn't SC very often. We detected the presence of n band in front of the microphone Of that station, but what it was play ing must remain a mystery to us because announcements were Killed by the thoroughly enjoyable collec' tion of alien sounds.
 WABC, New York, offered 6 choice collection of prize fights, th' ! pleasure derived from listening tt that station being enhanced by the fact that it had severe case oi

monoplane. Their endurance flight broke the record of 41 hours and 42 seconds established in May by Bert Acosta and Clarence Chamber lin, who later won fame as trans atlantic flyers.
 The campaign 10 regain the en- durance title is in progress in three widely separated sections of the United States. On Long Island. there planes are being tuned and start from Daytona, Fla. and the fifth has made its base at Mills Field, near San Francisco.
 Acosta himself is one of the avia- tors out to bring back the title that the Germans flew away with. He and Emil Burgin will fly a Folk ger Universal, christened "The Splitdorf.' over Curtiss Field.
 Interest in the race for the record is increased by the presence at the same field of a mystery ship" 2 Fairchild cabin monoplane with q new type of engine reputed to con sume so little gasoline that soms say the plane may stay up in the air 60 hours.
 The third ship at the Long Island field is a Stinson-Detroiter to be piloted by George Weiss, Jr., with Lewis Calomon as navigator.
 William $. Brock and Edward Schlee. Detroit airman, who crossed the Atlantic last summer and con- tinued in series of flights across Europe and Asia to Japan in their Pride of Detroit" will fly above the white sands of Florida.
 In California, Capt. Charles King ford Smith, Australian pilot. and Lieut.. George Tomb. flying in "The Spirit of California, already have made three unsuccessful trials for the record and are determined upon further attempts. Their plane is the re-christencd Southern Cross which began its flying career in the Arctic in the hands of George H. kilkins, American explorer. It later was acquired by Captain Smith for projected flight to Honolulu and thence to Australia.
 A sixth entry in the endurance contest, 4. A. Marines Bellanca Monoplane, has been withdrawn in favor of competition for S5o,0oo prize offered for Dallas-to-Hong Kong flight,

A Story of Diet.

+ The Kronprinz Wilhelm was once
palatial ship of the North German
Lloyd. When the war broke out it
was converted by the Germans into a
raider. 1t set out from Hoboken Au-
gust 3, 1914, and the officers and crew
knew they could not again touch port
until the war was over.
The Kronprinz Wilhelm captured
many ally ships and from them
fresh supplies of food were taken.
Fresh meat was taken from one YES.
sci. Some was put in the refrigerator.
Some was sailed corned. There was
enough meat for an indefinite number
of feasts. There was also plenty OF
white flour, white flour biscuits, sweet
crackers. butter, cheese. potatoes,
canned vegetables, condensed milk,
refined suger, tea and coffee.
Three times day and at an added
mid-afternoon lunch the men were all
given generous rations. The meals
were typical of many in American
homes; for hundreds of housewives
would call the raiders larder we'll
stocked The open life. salt air and
plenty to eat should have kept every
one feeling fine.
But some men in six months, others
in eight months, fell ill. The ship's
surgeon, DR.. Perrenon, was alarmed.
In the ninth month. from two to five
men a day were stricken. Some tried
to keep on, but at the last minute
would fall helpless to the deck. One
hundred and ten men were down.
DR.. Perrenon could do nothing to
relieve them. Medicines were no avail.
