"There will be general sympathy in' tMs country for Admiral Sims, that- breezy sailor and inveterate friend of Great' Britain, who once more has got into hot water in the United States for his plain speaking about Anglo-American relations. It would be unfortunate if the action taken regarding; Admiral Sims were construed into evidence of a definite attitude on the part of the American government towards the Irish qucs- tiwv " "In speaking as he did," the news paper continued, "the mass of the British people recognize that. Sims lfad the best interests of the. two cjotmtries at heart. -He has seen , the dandier! with , which, the Jrish-Ameri-cani?.aPeor threatens their , friend ship arid-while fighting it -openly in Arjierita; ' he -has endeavored to ex-plaftf-its significance here. ' ."It vouW be no- real help, to the cause p'f Anglo-American friendship to pretend to ignore the existence of a strong Irish-German 'party in the reptrblic, whose burning desire' is to embroil the two nations."

Gann, president of the Pueblo Commercial club, and J. F. Keating, chairman of the Pueblo chapter of the American Red Cross. The appeal, which will be present ed by W. Frank Persons, vice presi dent of the American Red Cross at Washington, sets forth that Pueblo's need is beyond resources of the com munity, that subscriptions have been light and that haste is imperative. $500,000 Needed. The text of . the appeal as given out by the local chapter of the Red Cross follows: "Five hundred thousand dollars is urgently needed as a bare minimum sum to do most necessary relief and rehabilitation work in the city of Pueblo, according to a conservative and careful estimate. "On behalf of the stricken citizens of Pueblo the undersigned earnestly appeal to . the generosity and the sympathy of the nation to assist in meeting the situation, which is en tirely beyond the resources of the community, by sending in their con tributions. . "More than 1,500 families already have been listed by the Red Cross census as being in need of help. Many of these have lost all they pos sessed. These families represent an approximate total of 7,000 persons and the census is. not yet complete. Dealers Wiped Out. "Hundreds of dealers, large and small, have been paralyzed by the flood which completely' wiped out their stocks and ruined the buildings in which they were housed. "The damage is estimated at be tween $15,000,000 and $25,000,000 ex clusive of the loss to municipal and railroad property as well as to high ways. "The flood victims must be helped to regain normal economic existence before the city can return to its posi tion as a self-supporting community. "Upon invitation of the governor of Colorado and the city of Pueblo, the American Red Cross has under taken the task of rehabilitation and is in charge of all relief work. "Destitute families are now being taken care of in refugee camps and thousands are being fed daily at field kitchens maintained under Red Cross direction. "Initial steps to rehabilitate these unfortunate persons have been started so that they may again be come productive citizens and not continue objects of charity. Homes must be rebuilt, productivity re stored, with the principle always adhered to of making each sufferer help himself .as far as he' is able. This will necessitate funds being made available immediately. . Need of Haste. "The Red Cross has. appropriated $105,000 for relief but general sub scriptions reported to date have been light. , "May we, the undersigned, urge: the need of haste on the part of those who can assist, expressing our deep gratefulness for the assistance thus given?

Ship Tolls On Canal Favored i i Coastwise Shipping Would Be Freed of Charges UndcV Bill Reported hy Sen ate Committee. Washington, June 13. American coastwise shipping would be ex empted from payment of Panama canal tolls under a bill ordered fa vorably reported today 'y the sen ate interoceanic canals committee.' The committee vote was unani mous after Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, had withdrawn a request that hearings be held. ' Chairman Borah, author of the bill, said that since the question was the subject of exhaustive hearings eigh. years ago there was no need of hear ings at this time. The decision to report out the Borah bill applicable only to Amer ican coastwise ships, rather than the Jones-Poindexter bills, which would give all American shipping free canal passage, was reached, committee members said, because it was be lieved, it would be easier to pass a coastwise shipping bill. Another consideration, it was said, was assurances to the committee that the British government conceded formally during the Taft administra tion that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty authorized free tolls for coastwise American ships.
