DANIELS’' REPLY. In eonnection with the reply of Sec- retary Daniels to Admiral charges as read to the senate com- mittee, the seeretary bears dgown on Sims’ underway for the repelling of the Russian forces. Today, however, the situation seems to be changed and everything favorable to the considera- tion of peace, in Kkeeping with the course that has ‘been followed by the Bsthorilans and Soviet Russia. The change -in Poland'is wnques- tionably due to the ‘influence of the allied .pations, Poland is expectsd to be. the huffer state between Russia and -the rest-of Burope. It is expect- ed to keep bolshevism from the rest of the continent, but it is appreciated that even though Poland is ready and anxious to fight th¢ bolshevik forces it is entirely unprepared, its fsupport- of engine ever placed in the history of epgineering, and is part of a contract of 390 engines; which was on the point of being fixed wholly in America. At the last moment, Messrs. Armstrong, Whitmorth stepped in and secured the larger share of IT.

According to the secretary the ad- miral had served 16 of his last 26 years on land and has been on sea duty but nine. It is ordinarily sup- posed that it is not what a rear ad- miral wants to do but what he is or- dered to do that comprises his ser- vice. He doesn’t stick to shore duty or he doesn’t select sea duty just as he pleases.” If he had been so fortu- nate or unforttnate as to have been 25 years he would have responded, even ordered to sea duty the entire as he did to the 16 yéars shore duty for which he was selectedl.

Sims didn't se- lect himself for the job any more than he did during the 16 years shore duty and it is futile for the secretary to attempt to dodge whatever ,charges have been made by the admiral by trying to eclaim at this time that Sims was a trouble-maker, when as a matter of fact he permitted his selec- tion for the important serviee in the war and awarded him a medal for the Wway in which he performed it. Such testimony on the part of the Secretary doesn't serve to clear up thel " charges made by the admiral. In fact it does not serve to.help the case any, and if the secretary feels toward the admiral the way his statement indicates it is impossible to under- stand why he ever approved the idea or pufting him in the position that h: did” and keeping him there toroughout the war. y EDITORIAL NOTES. motto but it is hard to fol days. made a mistake in the day it i with winter, - that really *counts. | disposition to brag. baseball talk and dope longer by.

Yet in the years following 1829 William Liloyd ~Garrison, the founder and ‘most prominent man in the abolition movement was called a murderer and cut-throat. And, al- though a devout Christian was call- ed an infidel and practicaily all the churches refused to have anything to do with him. So in our own day we should get information from all sides before we pronounce the verdict.
