Sims’ Criticism Arouses Denby Hints That Rear Admiral May Face Court-Martial Heard as Result. Washington, May 10.—Caustic crltl ^ cism by Hear Admiral William S. ^TSims of the policy of placing non graduates of the war college in high offices stirred up somewhat of a hor net's nest in navy circles yesterday. Officers who have dubbed Sims “the best British admiral in the American navy," strong hinted that if his re marks were authenticated, he could lie summoned before a court-martial and punished. Others were Inclined to ignore the matter except to recall j that a superior officer once reported Sims to be. "loose with his facts." Secretary Denby Issued this state ment: “I find it hard to believe that Ad miral Sims made the statements at tributed to him. I cannot believe that any officer would show such dis loyalty to the service.” Says Attitude Crime. Sims’ remarks were printed as a special dispatch from a Boston news agency. He is quoted as having said: ‘‘In my opinion, the attitude of the Navy department toward the naval war college has long been a crime. The appointment of an officer who is not a graduate of the war college to command the groat United States licet is a crime against the people, . nd so is the appointment of a non graduate to the most important posi tion in the Navy department—that of chief of naval operations. "More than half of the officers given preference In the transfers re cently are not graduates of the war college. The service is disgusted with t lie situation—disgusted that the same old game of service politics is being played. It believes that the best place is a seat next to the dealer Washington. Personal influences bring grenter rewards than war col lege training.” Hits at llenby. _ The particular officers on whom Sims trained his guns were Secretary Denby. the so-called "dealer;” Ad miral Edward W. Eberle, commander of the United States battle fleet in the Pacific, who is to succeed Admiral Robert E. Coontz as chief of the bu reau of naval operations, and Admiral Coontz, who on being relieved, will vo to command the fleet. Indirectly, he hits a number of other officers, in cluding Rear Admiral Henry B. Wil son, superintendent of the naval academy at Annapolis, who command ed the United Stales forces in France during the world war. and Rear Ad tuiral Thomas Washington, head of ttie bureau iif navigation, who goes soon to command the Asiatic fleet and will be succeeded by Vice Admiral Andrew T. Bong, now commander of the forces in Europe. Sims is retired and is living at Newport, R I., which is the seat of the war college. Ills state of retire ment would not relieve him from court-martial or save him from hav- ; Ing ids retirement pay slashed or cut off entirely in ease of conviction. lit has been reprimanded several times for his gratuitous criticism of the vy, covering a period of »'0 years.

It had awalaoned sleepers —— ——- .— a “lad's go over and see,” said Boxer Co Woof Woof. there just as Johnny Chuck had been awakened, and two of these sleepers were Boxer and Woof Woof, the twins of Buster Bear. Now that spring awakening was a strange ex perience for Boxer and Woof Woof. You see they had not slept away the winter with their mother as they had the winter before. When It had tome time to go to bed Mother Bear had told them that they couldn’t sleep with her, blit must find a home of their own. They hadn’t known what to make of it. For n while It had quite up set them. They had been quite un happy over It. But Mother Bear had An old time process applied to tobacco which takes out all rawness, all harshness.

And so the twins had scraped some leaves into a big bole under the roots of an upturned tree, and had there gone to sleep. Of course, the snow had covered their bedroom with a deep, white blanket, and they had been very comfortable there even without their mother. Because they had slept most of the time they had not missed her. But when spring had come and they had awakened and come out of their winter home, they had missed their mother. Boxer wouldn't have admitted It, hut it was so. They were big now, about half grown. As a matter of fact, they felt them selves quite grown up. Nevertheless they did wish Mother Bear was there to show them where to look for something to eat. They were rather cross. They were ready to quarrel with each other over every little thing. You know some folks are apt to be cross when they first wake up. That first day they didn't do much. They shuffled around, no go ing very far from their bedroom, and then went back into in. The next day they went a little further. Boxer remembered the big windfall under which they had been born, and which for a long time had been their home with Mother Bear. It popped into his head that very likely Mother Bear had spent the winter there. She might be there now. “Bet’s go over and see,” said Boxer to Woof Woof. Woof Woof was quite willing. She shuffled along behind Boxer, and they headed straight for the old windfall which had once been their home. When they came In sight of it they stopped and sat up to study It. It looked just as they remem bered it. They could see the en trance through which as liltlo Bears they had gone in and out so often. It looked inviting. They shuffled a little nearer, and again sat up to look. They wanted to go in there. yet they had a queer feeling that it, would be better not to. Finally Boxer put his nose down amt sniffed at the entrance. He knew Instantly that Mother Bear was inside. He could smell her. He looked at Woof Woof a little doubt fully. Woof Woof put her nose down and smelled. Then she looked at Boxer a little doubtfully. There wasn't the least doubt that Mother Bear was in that snug bedroom they knew so well underneath the wind fall. Somehow they felt more lone some than ever. They wanted Mother Bear. Yes, sir, they wanted Mother Bear. "Let’s go in and see if she is awake,” whispered Boxer. "Wouldn't it he better to wait un til she comes out?” Woof Woof whispered back. (Copyright, 1922.)

The popular preference in all territories is unmistakably the Firestone Gum-Dipped Cord. A standard of service has been set by these famous tires without parallel in the past.

The tire buying public has been aroused to the rfesults in econom ical mileage of the Firestone proc ess of double gum-dipping. The buying-swing toward Firestone shows how it has advanced the public’s standard of tire value. Ask owners about Firestone performance on their cars. Note the big taxicab fleets Firestone equipped.
