Everything was very secret, the way they liked it. “E could not get in touch with the Chief of Navigation then, so I reported to him later at the department and then I had an interview with the Sec- retary of the Navy, The interview was very brief. I was told that 1 was ing abroad to confer with the Al- jed admiralties and that Ambassador Page had requested that an officer of bigh rank be sent there for that pur- pose, ‘Then I went to the Bureau of favigation. Admiral Benson was there and it was then the remark was made.” i Sims sald he included Benson's re- | mark in his letter to Daniels on Jan. 7 regarding the navy's part in the, war because “if a man has a prejudice against men fighting alongside of him it has an unconscious influence wo him.” ‘The Admiral described Benson as “an upstanding, ho man, who has strong convictio 1 added he be- | lieved everything that Benson did during the war was done conscien- | tiously.” { Senator Pittman, Democrat, Ne- yada, asked if in view of the anti- British sentiments of Benson, that officer had not acted in a broadminded way in sending Sims to London. The witness replied that Benson had al- ways been “fair and square.” Senator Pittman brought out that Sims showed a copy of his letter of Jan. 7 to H. P. Davison of New York, about the middie ef January. The officer admitted that showing the letter was “an indiscretion.” Senator Pittman and Chairman Hale clashed over the form in which the Nevada Senator put quostions. “There need be no discourtesy here,” Hale said, “and we will have none.” “No, I will not tolerate any," said Pitman, “I have realized that you were going to try to break up this rors examination.” Sims interrupted to say that he welcomed cross ex- amination, “Don't you think it improper to disclose sacred secrets as you did in your letter?” Pittman ed. “Not when the interest of our country is at stake,” Sims retorted hotly. “We naval officers made up our mind that ‘we would never go into another war like we went into this.” | The crowd apyfauded. | SIMS OPPOSED CREATION OF SEPARATE ARMY.

It Happened Like This:— ‘The manufacturer who made these dresses is | one of the largest operators in New York. He planned for a big season; bought his fabrics in large quantities; and started his factory going on a large scale. * os But—orders did not come as rapidly as he expected. Cold weather may have been re- sponsible; the backward season may have had something to do with it; so his stock accumu- lated faster than he could take care of it, and his business capital was soon tied up. This Condition —permitted of but one move—sell the dresses. | He tried; but soon found that most stores were too well stocked to handle a quantity so large. This is where the Wanamaker Down-Stairs Store became a factor in the proposition. He came to see us and made a price for the whole | lot. Now for the High Lights Every oress is new. Not one has ever been | shown in a retail store before. The models will number at least 76—a fact that will in- terest every woman who likes variety. . .
