BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

~ EAR ADMIRAL WILLIAM S.
IL SIMS, retired, has come to
the support of Rear Admiral
i T. P. Magruder, commandant
of Philadelphia Navy Yard,
in the latter's fight against political
navy yards" and demands that those
on the Atlantic seaboard be scrapped.
He urges that a genuine. modeI II
naval base be established in their
stead at Narragansett Bay.
The griZZled veteran, who 25 years
ago exposed the Navy's gunnery in
efficiency and reorganized the system
into what it is today. declares that
Narrangansett Bay is the best avail
able base on the East Coast. All eX-
listing yards on the Atlantic-Boston,
Portsmouth, New York, Norfolk,
Charleston, Key West and Pensacola
ARE branded by Admiral Sims as
useless eXtravagances.' He calls
them "a continuous scandal" says
that about a quarter to a third of
the millions annually expended upon
them is wasted. and advocates sell
ing the lot and building a base"
Advantages Pointed Out.
Sims favors the Narrangansett Bay
region around Newport (Rhode Is
land) as the Navy's principal citadel
along the Atlantic because ii is the
farthest east of our adequate har-
bors Its additional advantages, the
World War naval chief asserts, in
clude accessibility. extensive maneu-
vering space, outlying defenses and
depth. If converted into f1rst-class
base of the sort Sims projects, Narra-
gansett Bay would require to be sup
piled with commensurate repair fa-
cilities, dry docks and supply equip
ment.
Admiral Sims is now giving voice to
these views locally in and around I>ew.
port. They have come to the atten-
ton of members of Congress and are
altogether likely to become the basis
of formal proposals along legislative
lines during the coming session. The
Magruder-Wilbur controversy makes
it certain that the whole question of
American navy yard and naval base
policy win be aired and thoroughly
discussed.
Two or three years ago the Nara
gansett Bay base was the object of Off
cial consideration in the Navy Depart
ment. It DEVELOPED at that time that
there is a large body of service and
technical opinion in favor of the
scheme now publicly advanced by Ad-
miral Sims.
Sims is confident that If the country
at large can be educated to understand

two men who might or might not be
murderers and robbers were being
tried as though anarchist opinions
and murder were interchangeable
things that my sense of intellectual
decency was aroused.
1t was my friend Fl. w. Nevison

that appeal very readily, and, later
on, when the execution occurred,
expressed an opinion about it, an in
dignant opinion for which had ample
justification in the facts as they had
been put before me from American
sources. From the examination actu.
ally quoted to me, / was impressed
by the eXtravagant unfairness of the
questions put to the accused and by
the way in which, being charged with
ordinary murder and robbery, their
political opinions were dragged into
court to create a prejudice against
them. I was concerned about the
moral quality of the court far more
than about the moral quality of the
accused. / wrote an article upon this,
which did not get all the publicity
had hoped for in America. The ques-
, ton of whether these two Italians
were guilty or innocent made sec.
ondary matter. The thing that scan.
dalized me was that they should have
been tried in such a fashion.

Earth. Sun and Stars Held Surrounded
by Cosmic ''Dust" or Absorbing Matter

That the earth. the sun and all the
nearby stars may be surrounded by a
cloud OF cosmic dust" or some sort
of absorbing matter, which extends
from the sun for 600 triliions miles or
more. is the idea advanced by Prof.
Edward S. King of the Harvard Col
lege Observatory.
Prof. King makes this suggestion
after study of the color of the stars,
and points out that such clouds of alb
sorbing matter are not unique. In
many parts of the sky they hide the
stars behind them and they surround
some star clusters. One of these is
the famous group. the Pleiades. a
number of stars loosely gathered to-
gether and mixed in with such
"dust" cloud.
It has been suggested that such a
cloud extends through all space, and
that it's effect is to make stars look
redder, as their light passes through
a greater thickness of it. This effect
is similar to the red sunsets which
