DANIELS, COME
TO JUDGMENT,
SUMS DEMANDS
Tells Senators Secretary’s De
lay on Convoy Plans Lost
Many Ships.
AMERICAN SHIPS FEW
WASHINGTON. March 12.—Secretary
of Navy Daniels was responsible for con
fusion In the convoying of ships which
resulted in unnecessary loses during the
war, Admiral Sims declared today before
the senate subcommittee investigating
charges against the navy department.
Admiral Sims said that after the Brit
ish admiralty had worked out a convoy
system which the allies adopted, Secre
tary Daniels attempted to put into ef
£gt a different plan for American ships.
delay of the navy department in
accepting the recommendations for the
convoy system, delaying its establishment
for some months, resulted directly in
some hundreds of thousands of tons of
shipping lost unnecessarily to the allied
cause as a whole,” Admiral Sims said.
CONVOY SYSTEM
'•MOST IMPORTANT.”
Admiral Sims said his letter of Jan.
TANARUS, 1920, “was a very mild statement of
the serious embarrassments and delays
and dangers in putting into effect the
convoy system, which was the most im
portant of al! the measures used in de
feating the submarine campaign against
allied shipping.”
Sims told the committee of “the real
state of desperation in which I found
myself almost daily during the first
months of the war.” He added:
“The cause of this was not a single
matter, such as the failure to act on
iny convoy recommendations, but that in
a dozen different matters at the same
time I was faced with the same situa
tion. always hoping from day to day that
the department would finally realize the
situation and either accept the recom
mendations or send over somebody in
whose .judgment they could trust.”
AMERICAN SHIPS
IAR DOWN IN BIST.
American shipping in July, 1917, he
said, was not more than 5 per cent of
the arrivals and departures in the war
zone. After fifteen months of participa
tion, Sims said, American ships made
up less than 12 per cent of the allied
tonnage on the lines of communication.
On his request for tugboats, Sims
stated that it was a year after we en
tered the war before he received any.
and that at the time of the armistice the
navy had fewer than a dozen in
European waters.
JELLICOE THANKS
AMERICAN NAVY
OTTAWA, Ontario, March 12. —Naval
operations of the United States during
the war “were of great help” to the em
pire, according to a report regarding pro
posed Canadian naval defenses presented
to parliament by Admiral Jellicoe.
The report, which has been tabled,
states that, without the American naval
assistance given, England, because of the
submarine menace, would have been
forced to abandon some of her overseas
expeditions.
Four suggestions for naval defenses for
Canada are made by Admiral Jellicoe,
ranging from a §5,000,000 fleet to one cost
lug $25,000,000. One basis for a Canadian
Jeet suggested is that it should compro
mise one battle cruiser, two light cruis
ers, six destroyers, four submarines and
two mine sweepers.

Seventh ward republicans have just
completed the organization of a Lowdea
for-President club. Dean Ross is presi
dent; Ben Kamp, vice president, and
Hays Hollowell, Harry Holtzman and
Paul Door, directors. The Lowden or
ganization has received word that the
Theta chapter of Beta Thet£ Pi of Dela
ware, 0., has gone on record for the
election of the Illinois governor.
Henry A. Link, a naturalist of Her
mltholme place, Waterloo, Ind., and one
of the leading farmers of northeastern
Indiana, is an earnest supporter of Dr.
C. B. McCulloch for the democratic nom
ination for governor. He has written to
Dr. McCulloch as follows: “I am glad
that a man of your attinments and abil
ity has announced as a candidate for
governor. We need such a man as you
at the head of this great state. It is
high time we were changing the state
house course. The tax law and The many
other objectionable laws should be
amended or taken off the books.”
According to State Senator Walter Mc-
Cocaha sentiment C. Toner
for governor is growing in Wayne coun
ty. According to Senator McConaha Mr.
Toner's record in advocating social and
industrial welfare and his efforts in be
half of the public school system have won
him many friends in and around Rich
mond.
•fames W. Fesler continues to be the
tirrd candidate in straw votes given out
i; McCray headquarters. The latest vote
"£s taken at the plant of the National
v.dor Car Company, showing 117 for
-McCray, 33 for Toner snd 27 for Fesler.
The Harrison Republican club of the
Fourth ward has invited all republican
candidates to attend a meeting at Udell

sided over by Miss

Sixteen little
boys and girls, the
oldest not quite 7, were reading from a
printed page. These youngsters have
been in school only since Feb. 1 this
year. They were standing before Miss
Fisher tolding the page of a primer.
Miss Fisher said to them, “Yesterday,
we read about a little boy. What was
his name?”
She printed the name on the black
board.
From sixteen little throats came the
arswer, "Billy."
“That's right,” she said with a smile.
“Billy had a friend by the name of
J-o-h-n.”
Miss Fisher instructed the children to
look at the printed page they held in
their hands.
“Now read the first line,” she said.
There was science.
Suddenly sixteen hands were waving
in the air very anxious to be the lucky
one to read the first line.

“All right, Virgil, you may read,” said
Miss Fisher.
Virgil was all smiles as he read, “Did
you see Billy?”
The second line was read by Dorothy,
which was, “Yes. He ran away.”
Miss Fisher told the children to read
the next line.
Every boy in the class brightened up
when they discovered that Billy and his
pal, John, ran away to wade in the
creek.
By this wonderful method, these little
children are able to read rapidly and
with the right inflection the printed page
after being in school less than five weeks.
Then the older children were told to
get their “button counters.”
Eagerly they marched to the rear of
ti£e room and obtained their counters
and returned to their little desks.
Marshall was called to the head of the
class to give a problem. Up stepped he
with his counter and said. “A man had
ten automobiles in his shop. Another
came in and bought two. How many
automobiles did the man have left?
Quickly every child counted and in a
second every child in this class had the
answer.
And so the loyalty of Miss Fisher to
her little pupils is giving future citizens
their correct fun

Marmon 34 Test
Results from Argument
Seven-passenger car with top, windshield and side cur
tains up laps local Speedway in 2 minutes
22 2-5 seconds from standing start.
Two months ago a member of the Columbia Club
stated that he believed a seven-passenger Marmon 34
of the new series would lap the local Speedway in 2:30,
or at the rate of GO miles an hour from a standing start
A fellow /dub-member challenged this statement. A
wager resulted. The Nordyke Marmon Company
agreed to furnish the local branch demonstrator for the
trial on the first day weather conditions made a fair
test possible. Disinterested spectators and newspaper
men were invited to the Speedway yesterday afternoon
at 2:30 o’clock to see the lap run.
In a drizzling rain on a wet, slippery track a stock
seven-passenger car fully equipped with windshield,
side curtains and top up, lapped the two and one-half
mile track from a standing start in 2 minutes 222-5
seconds, an average of 63.2 miles an hour.
Mr. J. IT. Lederer of the Indiana Daily Times and Mr.
O. A. Kantner of the Indianapolis News clocked the
trial with stop watches, and are authority for the above
figures.

well rounded lives.
Another example of loyalty Is shown
by a visit to school No. 26 at io o’clock In
the mornings when the children for a few
cents a week are provided with good
fresh milk. The children drink the milk
through straws.
The teachers are very anxious about
the health of the children. It is the
teacher who sees that the children are
well bundled up in cold weather. There
