Hiram Johnson quits cold. ‘Though billed to speak through Indiana next week he suddenly decided to close his tour with a speech at Toledo last night. His excuse is that his voice has failed, but that's not it. His support has dwindled and he has "shot his wad." If things were coming good old Hiram would be going on if he had to tell it In whispers. Clean-up week starts a week from Monday but that doesn’t mean to w ait until then. You must be ready when the wagons come through the alleys ' Clean the yard next week and get everything ready for the trucks will make but one trip. There is much to be done the next few days to make the week the success it should be. The city officials and the street commi.--’ alqacr will see that the general campaign is conducted but you must cooperate with them by doing what is necessary on your own property, tret the rubbish gathered up and put it in boxes in the alleys. Make it as easy for the men who do the hauling as possible. Has it occurred to you that this community is Id -ssed at this lime with a group of splendid ministers.

Face to Face With r Admiral Sims The War Commander of the American Navy , (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) • In historic, romantic Newport, 1 Rhode island, associated with the 1 earliest memories of the United ' States Navy lives Admiral William J Sowden Sims, who commanded the United States Navy overseas during the World War. Frank and outspoken. Admiral Sims reflects the Interpld Individualistic spirit of the Paul Jones type of men in the Navy. "I am not much for 'hurrah histories' and 'lick all creation’ stuff.” Early in his career he was recognized as having the makings of a NayY man. His parents moved from Port Hope, Canada, where he was born, near where Admiral Perry's victory Was won. to Pennsylvania, from where he was appointed cadet to the Naval Academy. As a naval attache in Paris and Russia and on the staff of the Commander-In-Chief of the Asiatic Fleet in 1901. he saw much of the men in charge of governments overseas. When the war cloud broke. President Wilson remembered the cadet who had been an instructor at Annapolis and the man who knew his Europe. Admiral Sims was chosen as the man to combat submarines. He effected the amalgamation of the American Navy with the Grand Fleet of Great Brltian. Anicrcian troops | convoyed to "longitude 17" was his ,chief concern night and day two ' million doughboys sailing end millions more ready to embark. 1 During the crisis of the war. I had a glimpse of Admiral Sims. His desk 1 was covered with papers. telegrams, ’( and charts indicating the location of every American vessel. The English Admiralty frankly depended upon the work of the destroyers and depthIcotnbs to sonnd the death-knell of the submarines. Great llritian was on the verge of starvation had th-- de- | st ruction of ships continued at the I rate they were reported day after I day. With a letter from Secretary ■ I Daniels. I visited Admiral 81ms and ' he sent me to visit the Gra;.d Fleet ut , Firth. Scotland. latter I went to the Queenstown Base. While there I spoke at the Naval (Tub to British and Am rltnn sailors. The American j laiys were hungry to see someone !' from home. WTu-n I had completed |i relating some experiences with th -11

Army in France and greeting front the folks at home, they called me back. Speaking between the acts, I ventured modestly to suggest, ''Boys, there is another act. I am only speaking between acts”, to which they reponded in a hearty chorus. "To hell with the other act. Get the fat guy going agnin.” t After the war Admiral Sims frankly pointed out what he considered errors of naval operations during th • war. which did not add to his popularity with some officials at Washington. However, he is accorded high honors by the people of his own country and the Allied Nations whom he served so ably and effectively. Admlftl!

Then he turned the comment to his | i j first love —the Navy. "The Navy remains our first line of defense.
