Even this request was unheeded, for some mouths, Admiral Sims said. The witness insisted that he had been badly handicapped by failure of the Department to keep him informed of its plans. He read excerpts from liis messages, urging adoption of the convoy system and said: \I will show that great losses were sustained due to the resistance of the United States to taking up the convoy system.” He then read a Department mes sage sent him in May, and sigued by Secretary Daniels. “In regard to convoy,” it read, “I consider American vessels having armed guards are safer when sailing independently.” “When I got that message I was about ready to jum p overboard,” con tinued Admiral Sims. “I realized that the Department did not under stand or appreciate the situation.” Cablegrams Have No Effect Admiral Sims said that on April 14, 15, 17, 22, 23 and 24 he sent cable grams urging the necessity of sending naval aid promptly, but that they .had litle-.cffcct.

The only morning newspaper com menting editorially upon the letter was the Gualois, the others -apparently awaiting developments. The Gaulois prints its comment on the first pago under the caption \Warnings: of Wil son ” A.fter discussing the points made by President Wilson, the newspaper concludes: “He finishes tho weaken ing of governmental frameworks of order and discipline which he already has so thoroughly shaken. His ‘anti- encouragemrtnt to international Bol shevism, under cover of which Ger many prepares her future revenge, which Mr Wilson denounces, but not with tha clearness and energy we ex- octed from his fairness, if not from his friendship.” The Paris Midi says Mr. Wilsdn’s accusation of France as militaristic is \impudent and it refers to “Mr. Wilson’s gratitous insult to this coun try.” It adds: “Mr. Wilson accuses France of -being militaristic, and at the same time, Josephus Daniels, sec retary' of the American Navy, is the only minister to the world who an nounces an unlimited program of armament\ L’lnPormatio, in* commenting upon the president's reference to militar ism in Framce, says: “Today there are men conscious of the evident necessities of France but thare is no longer a militarist party, properly speaking.” | denie T M g HEAD OF ANTI SALOON LEAGUE Chicago, March 10.—John D.

The result may de cide whether Cape Colony, the Trans vaal Orange Free State and Natal are to continue British or arc to form a South African Dutch Republic under its own flag and with an elected presi dent. Anti-Imperinl forces have recently been strengthened by being joined by many who were influenced by charges that Yorkshire spinners have been profiteering at the expense of South African wool growers. The high cost of living has also been a campaign issue, and the racial longing of the Boers to be rid of British domination has been brought to the front by poli ticians. South Africa is valuable to Great Britain because of its gold fields, and separation, it is believed, would meet with strong opposition from the B r it ish government. Nationalist sentiment there is said to be so intense that -in some instances families have been di vided over this issue, which is a 'sur vival of the old struggle which has been going on between the Dutch and the British since the Netherlands ceded Cape Colony to Great Britain in 1814. Present conditions are viewed with concern because of the attitude of the Labor party, this being the flrst time the anti-British Boers have been joined by any part of the British popu lation.
