ARLINGTON CLAIMS REMAINS OF SIMS Admiral Buried With Full Military Honors After Church Rites. A green knoll overlooking the Pcto- mac from the slopes of Arlington Cem- etery today held the body of Admiral Willlam Sowden Sims, one of the American Navy's foremost officers and severest critics. Hundreds stood with bared heads yesterday afternoon as the flag-draped casket was lowered into the grave while the last notes of “Taps” faded away across the hills. Popularly known as the man who taught the Navy how to shoot, and as an officer who never hesitated to give free voice to his opinions, Admiral Sims, commander of the American naval forces in European water during the World War, was buried with full military honors. Church Rites Simple. Simple funeral services were con- | ducted in St. John's Episcopal Church at 2 o'clock by Dr. Oliver J. Hart, rec- tor, assisted by Dr. Arthur Lee Kin- solving, rector of Trinity Church, Bos- ton, where the Admiral cied -fonday. Dr. Kinsolving accompanied members of the family on the trip here from Massachusetts. The church was not crowded. those | present including for the most part | only members of the family, close | friends and brother officers mn full | dress uniform. Admiral William H. | Standley, chief of naval operations, | represented President Roosevelt. while | the Army, whose troops were convoyed to France by Sims’ men, sent Col. F. H. Lincoln, assistant chief of staff. Following the ieading of Scripture, | & prayer and the singing of “wo hymns, | the Admiral's body was borne in a hearse to the main entrance of the cemetery, where it was transferred to | an artillery caisson draped with flags. | Led by Navy Band. | The Navy Band, playing a dirge, led the way while the procession wound | slowly to the grave. There the 5th Marine Regiment and a company of | bluejackets formed a guard of honor as Capt. Sidney K. Evans, retired, for- | mer chief of Navy chaplains, deliv- ered a short sermon. The company of biuejackets snapped to attention and fired three voileys over the grave.

Victim of Heart Attack. Admiral Sims, who was 77 years old, died of a heart attack. “T just scraped in,” he said, in com- menting on his admission to the Naval Academy in 1876, after failing | the examination in 1875, While still low in rank he began his eritical comments on naval gunnery and construction. His outspoken re- marks brought down the wrath of his superiors at the time, but in the end, largely through the support of Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt, resulted in a vastly improved Navy. After getting into further trouble through speeches concerning interna- tional affairs, the last of which brought & rebuke from President Taft, he was retired in 1922 at the age of 64.
