Sims Talkes Charge
Of U.S. Naval College
Admiral Tells First Class That
Officers Must Learn to
"Think Straifjht"
NEWPORT, R. 1. June 2. Rear
Admiral William S. Sims. who as vice
admiral commandcd the United States
naval forces in European waters dur?
ing the war, assumed the presidency
oi* the N'aval War College to-day when
it resumed its work suspended by the
war. Thirty offlcers, including Rear
admirals, captains and commanders,
are in the opening class.
"There has been wasted during this
war a great deal of effort, much valu
able material and even many valuable
lives because of tho lack of training
necessary to reach logical decisions
based upon the well known immutable
principlea of war,-' the admiral said in
his address. "Let it suftiee for me to
assure you that the constant prayer of
tlose who bear grent responsibility in
time ot* war is that they may be spared
the results of the decisions of the sn
called practieal officers who are ignor
ant of the art of war and who have
not been trained to think straght -
that is. who have not been trained to
nir.ke a logical estimate of a situation.
"There is a subject which has re?
ceived too little attontion heretofore
and that is the extremely important
quality called 'military character.'
Some ofticers have admirable knowledpo
and experience but fai 1 in this quality
of character. They are honcst, loyal,
zealous and devoted. They know the
principles of warfare, but do not
always exercise the will and self con
ttol to apply them."

The cruiser Frederick, the old Ham

and the Febre liner Canada broughtI
from France yesterday 7.6S4 ofticers and
men of the A. E. F.
The Graf Waldersee, which carried !
4,357 fighters, had on board the .'519th.
Infantry complete. 99 officers and 3,154
men. who will be sent to fourteen
camps for demobilization. Fifteen of
the men won the Distinguished Service'
Cross, five the Croix de Guerre, six the
Legion of Honor and four the Military1
Medal. The regiment's commanding
officer was Colonei W. S. Sinclair, of
Galveston, Tex.
Also on the Waldersee came the 3d
Battalion of the 142d Infantry in com?
mand of Captain B. H. Blooer, of Okla
homa. .Representative E. B. Howard,
of that state. and a score of parents of
the returning soldiers went to Hoboken
to greet them. Governor Robinson is

On the Canada, which brought civ

"Strawberry Blonde"
In Herreshoff Divoree
_
One Witness Says Hair Was
Aiihurn, hut Wife Gets Her
Decree, Anyway
A woman with "strawberry blond
hair," but not mentioned by name,
was the cause of a decree of divoree
granted yesterday by Justice Giegerieh
to Mrs. Emilie D. Lee Herreshoff from
J. B. !?'. Herreshoff, well-known chem
lst, vice-president of the N'ichol Cop
per Company. and member of tho
Herreshoff family of yachts designers.
Mr. Herreshoff is about sixty-nine
years, old and the plaintiff, whom he
married in 1882, was his second wife.
They have lived apart about tcn years,
but were long neighbors, Mr. Herres?
hoff living at 620 West End Avenue
and his wife at 375 West End Avenue.
There was only one point on which
witnesses disagreed in t.estifying be?
fore the referee who heard the case.
That was the color of the corespond
ent's hair. One said it was "straw?
berry blond," another called it auburn.
'fhis slight diserepancy, however, did
not affect the action of Mrs. Herres?
hoff, for the witnesses agreed on the
main point involved. This point was
that Mr. Herreshoff was found with
the blond woman in a room at the
Hotel Xavarre.
Mrs. Herreshoff testified that she
married the defendant in Philadelphia
and that in the latter years of their
life together he displayed an indif
ference toward her. The wife did not
ask alimony, as her husband has been
paying her $18,000 a year since they
separated. The couple have three
grown children. Mr. Herreshoff is ai
brother of Captain Nat Herreshoff,
famous designer of American racing
yachts, and, like the latter, ia a native
of Rhode Island.

'"Camied Answers" Ready to
Combat Merehants Who
Are Dubious When Asked
to Join the Assoriation
The Broadway Associat ion will begin
the second lap of its "Give a Thought
to Broadway" membcrship expansion
campaign to day.
Majors and captains, dirccting the
efforts of more than *00 promincnt
New York business and professional
men who are rallying Broadway from
Bowling. Green to Kingsbridge to the
membarship rolls, will meet at 12:30
at a luncheon in Churchill's. Deputy
Police Commissioner Wallis will pre
side. The campaign is scheduled to
closc Friday.
Additional "canned" retorts to the
type of questions reluctant business
men shot at membcrship solicitors last
week have been prepared for the cam?
paign workers. Among the questions
frequently confronting workers were:
"Why should I give any time to
such things?"
"Who is going to run this associa?
tion ?"
"What do I owe Broadway?"
"Won't this raise my rent?"
"Why should Broadway bc anything
in my young life ?"
"What interest have I. a rent payer,
in the property values of Broadway?"
"Canned Answers" Prepared
The "canned" response to the first
of the interrogations is this:
"Surely, if some of us give not only
our money but our time, you should
be winning to give your money. If
you can't give any time, increase your
subscription so that some one eise
can do the work."

Question of Rents
"There are cheaper rents on Am

pay a good rent now to be on Broad

"Ihe traffic conditions mean some?

"You have an interest in the busi?

business values are the same. " The

determines its value. That's why

Although association officials gave
out no figures on the results of the

ended Thursday last, they stated that
the organization's membcrship prac

of Packard Reserve Power
Here is a scientific principle many a motorist overtooks*
No matter how fast or how siow you ewant to go, you
cannot go right unless your car has reserve power?
rightly applied. Until a man has driven the Packard
Twin Six he 'will never know exactly <what that means.
/ITH everybody reading about motors,
talking about motors, swapping motor
experiences, you might suppose that
the basic facts of motor engineering would be
generally known by this time.
Yet even such a fundamental principle as the
economic value of reserve power is not under
stood by one motorist in ten.
Some car owners take years to wake up to what
it is costing them to compromise in the matter of
power.
Why should a man have to wear out one
compromise car after another before he learns
that it costs more to operate such a car than a car
of high reserve power 1
The man who has been through it all knows
that the very reason why the Packard is good for
75 miles an hour is the reason why 25 miles an
hour day after day costs less from the Packard
than from the car of lower power.
In the Packard?the power is there?in reserve.
It costs you nothing unless you use it.
You call on it when you want it ? and not
unless you do want it.
The Packard Twin Six engine is a motor of live
moving parts, Power is used only in moving the
car ? not in excess merely to keep the engine
turning over.
The basic design of the Packard Twin Six
motor has been wonderfully justified during the
past few years of both peace and war work, so
that any changes that may be made from time to
time will be merely in the nature of refinements.
The Packard people are transportation experts.
They have more to tell you on this subject than
any other organization in the world. You can ask
them to discuss your car problem without obliga
tion. It is to your interest and profit to do so.
