WASHINGTON, March 18—Ad
mirat Sims today declared his at
tacks were not directed against any
particular official: of ‘the navy de
partment, but against-the depart
ment “as an organization,”” when he
concluded his testyjmony before the
Senate investigating committee.
SPLENDID WORK. .
The American navy made ‘splendid
achievements in the war, in spite of
delays, inaction and violation of mil
itary prineiples by the high com
mand in the first months of the war,”
Admiral Sims declared today before
the Senate subcommittee investigat
ing his charges against the navy de
partment.
“The allies themselves have repeat
edly assured us of the vital services
rendered by cur navy and we of the
navy can take pride in the record
that we achieved,” Admiral Sims said.
“It seems to me that these achieve
ments of the navy should gain great
er importance in the public mind,
when it is realized they were accom
plished rnot because of an equal
amount of efficiency in the higher
command which directed them, but in
spite of long delays, inaction and
violations of fundamental military
principles by the high command. The
personnel of our navy afloat, in ac
complishing the . mission assigned
them, had to struggle with the enemy,
and also endure the handicap of a
vaccilating policy of misdirection.”
RECALLS PROTESTS.
Admiral Sims introduced tables to
show that the full weight of Amer
ican ships was not thrown into the
war until late in 1918, and that on
Armistice Day there were 375 ships,
481 headquarters men and a force of
80,000 in Europe. !
Admiral Sims recounted protests
he had made that reserve officers
were sent.to Europe to fill positions
that only trained men should have
had and also made charges that the
navy department vromoted men at
home over the heads of men whom
he had recommended for promotion
for ‘“gallantry in the sac of the
enemy.” He said he had recom
mended several aviators for promo
tion for gallantry, but that these pro
motions were not acted on until after
the armistice, while flying officers
from the United States came to Eu
rope with higher rank than those who
had proved their bravery.
“If any individual was responsible,
wholly or in part, for the ‘failure I
have pointed out, the fact would
necessarily have to be developed by
persons who were in a position to
know the inner workihgs of the de
partment during the period in ques
tion,” Admiral Sims said. ‘“My offi
ecial knowledge extends only to the
doors of the department and nqt be
yond them.”
He explained the fact that an of
ficial name was signed to many ca
bles, as Secretary Daniels’ was, did
not necessarily mean the official
was personally concerned in the
matter, He urged that the “errors”
he pointed out be guarded against
“in the future.”

WASHINGTON, March 18.—Bain
bridge Colby, appearing before the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
today to reply to charges made
against him in connection with his
pomination for secrétary of state,
made “a favorable impression,” ac
cording to members of the commit
tee.
Senator Hitchcock, Democratic
leader, declared Colby's reply to
the charges was a ‘knockout to the
opposition.”
Colby's nomination has been await
ing activn by the Senate since Feb
ruary 25, as a result of which the de
partment of state is now without a
head.
Various witnesses have appeared
before the committee, including Her
bert Parsons, New York lawyer and
political leader and Brigadier Gen
eral Marlborough Churchill, chief of
the army intelligence.
Colby, when he left the committee
room, declined to discuss his testi
mony.
“It would be a breach of propriety
for me to do so,” he said.
He ‘smiled when asked if he re
garded the objections raised to him
“‘seriously.”
“Sorry, but I can’t talk now, boys,”
he said to the newspaper men gath
ered around him.
The corimittee will continue its
consideraticn of Colby’'s nomination
tomorrow in executive session. Colby
is understood to Have offered to cali
one witness himself to corroborate
his testimony.

Rent contracts between agents and
tenants, even under seal, are void un
less the authorization to the agent by‘
the owner also is under seail, it was‘
ruled . Thursday by, Judge George I.
Bell in Superior Court, in a decision
sustaining a certiorari involving the
tenancy of the house at 39 Vedado
way. ‘
Judge Bell held, pnder this rullng
that Mrs. Ella Montgomery, owner of
the property, may oust the tenant, J.
S. Allen, by serving him with the
customary 60 days notice of a “ten
ant at will.”
The case had been appealed to Sue
perior Court by Mrs. Montgomery
from a decision handed down some
time ago by Judge L. F. McClelland
in Municipal Court, who had held
that Allen was entitled to remain in
the house for a period of twelve
months at the same rate of rent he
was paying because of the absence
of an express understanding that he
was a “tenant at will” Allen had
been occupying the house under a
contract of lease, and when this ex
pired, he continued as the tenant
without another contract. Later, the
rent was raised and he refused to
pay it. An effort then was made to
oust him, and the matter was taken
into court.
Attorney Carl Lancaster contended
for Allen that, under the law, he be
came a tenant for one year, in view of
the fact that there had been no defi
nite agreement at the expiration of
the contract that he was a “tenant
at will,” and that, therefore, he could
not be removed by the usual sixty
days’ notice. Judge McClelland sus
tained this contention, and Attorney
Paul Etheridge, for Mrs. Montgomery,
appealed the case by certiorar!.
Judge Bell ruled that Allen became
a ‘“tenant at will” from the fact that
his previous contract with the rente
ing agent was void. The contract
had been made under seal, but it de
veloped that the authority from Mrs.
Montgomery to the agent to make the
contract was not under seal. The
law requires that both must be under
seal, Judge Bell declared. As this con
tract was of no value, he ruled that
Allen, therefore, had no foundation
on which to base his contentions.

Wilson Gets

LB
Carnations
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, March 18—
President Wilson was
somewhat annoyed Wednesday
because provisions had not been
made for him to recognize St.
Patrick’'s Day.
Driving through the business
district the President noticed the
predominance .of green decora
tions and asked why he had not
been given a touch of green for
his lapel. On his return to the
White House he was greeted
. with a huge bouquet as green
1 carnations.
By WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S.
WASHINGTON, March 18.—If the
treaty is not ratified by the Senate
tomorrow it will be brought up a
third time between now and the June
conventions in a last desperate ef
fort to prevent it from becoming the
chief issue in the political campaign,
Plans for this are already under
way and it is said will have the sup
port of William Jennings Bryan and
all those senators whose minds *“‘go
along” with his.
Bryan refused to comment upon
what he proposed to d in the event
the Senate again refuses the pact for
the lack of the two-thirds majority
necessary for ratification. This, he
said, implied doubt in his mind that
the treaty would be ratified and he
could not make any such admission.
BRYAN OPENS FIGHT.
Meantime he is bringing into play
every ounce of his influence in an
eleventh hogr effort to swing enough
Democrats to secure sufficient votes
to ratify the treaty with any and
whatever reservations there may be
attached,
1t is kncwn, however, that he has
been informed that the chances for
a favorable outcome are slim.
“] have had very littie opportunity
to talk with the genators,” he said
today. “My opinion us to action,
therefore, is based upon the reasons
for it rather than upon a knowledge
of individual opinion.
“l have such faith in the intelli
gence and democracy of the Demo
cratic senators that I am not willing
to believe they will join the irrec
oncilable” enemies of the . treaty to
defeat what a majority of the Sen
ate have agreed upon—l mean by
that the majority of those desiring
ratification, excluding those irrecon
wilables opposed to the treaty.”
Traffic Ordinance To
Be Taken Up Again
A revival of the agitation for a
traffic ordinance is-scheduled for Iri
day afternoon’s meeting of the ordi
nance committee of Council. It is
expected the committee will call for
a report from Robert H. Martin on
what has been accomplished by thel
citizens’ commiitee, of which he is
chairman, appointed to draft a satis
factory ordinance on downtown
traffic. '
Some time ago when a traffic or
dinance was presented great objec
tions were voiced by automobile men
on its drastic provisions. Mayor
James L. Key appointed a citizens’
committee to investigate the problem
and make a report that would iron
out all the differences and yet have
some regulatory benefits towards al
leviating the evils of promiscuous
parking of cars in.the downtown|
streets and- relieving congestion.
Great Britain Making
Huge Loans to Poland
v WASHINGTON, March 18.—Great
Britain is making huge loans to Po
land, -according to cabled advices to
day from Hugh Gibson, American
minister at Warsaw.
An extension of credit of 26,000,000
pounds has been made to Poland by
Great Britain to finance the purchase
of British goods, the cable said, and
another loan of 200,000 pounds has
been made to pay transportation
charges on 100,000 tons of flour
boight by Poland from the United
States Grain Corporation.
A report that Great Britain has
loaned Poland 800,000 pounds to buy
British merchant tonnage is uncon
firmed.

GEORGE WALSH
In “MANHATTAN KNIGHT"
Less rigid Sunday: laws, mxation\
of property on a basis of the income!
it produces and a more modern aud}
efficient city government were rec
ommended Wednesday afternoon at
a group meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce by prominent business
men gathered to make suggestions
for the 1920 program of the organiza
tion.
+ The first two recommendations
came from Nat Kaiser and the latter
from Alderman Harry Goodhart, who
offered a mass of statistical informa
tion showing the relative merits of
the systems of government in At
lanta ard Birmingham.
Hervey Laird presided over the
meeting and Forrest Adair followed
his introductory remarks with a short
talk in which he urged members of
the chamber and Atlantans generally
to get together on a concerted pro
gram. He declared the tax system
to be too widely separated with in
dications of becoming even more so
if the school board is permitted to
levy taxes separate from the city,
county and State.
Mr. Kaiser said Atlanta's Sunday
laws were too narrow-minded. He
said Atlanta heads are trying to run
a big city on a small town basis and
he urged more liberality in Sunday
laws to allow more harmless amuse
ment to people whose day of rest
would be made more enjoyable.
Mr. Kaiser also assailed the pres
ent tax system, telling of one or
two instances of unequal assessment,
He said the plan should be revised
so that taxes would be based upon
the amount of income a property pro
duced for the owner. He said the
system now in vogue is working un
due hardships on many property
owners.
Mr. Goodhart led a group of sug
gestions that city government reform
is badly needed in Atlanta, He said
the city’s resources are sufficiently
large to care for her needs, but that
the system of administration does
not permit careful distribution of
the funds. He showed that other
cities operate on less financial in
come than Atlanta and serve a larg
er area with greater facilities.
He said that in 1918 Birmingham
was accredited with a population
almost as large as that of Atlanta,
but that an area almost twice as
large as this city was served on less
expenditure because the city com
mission form of gavernmeént was used
instead of the old aldermanic form |
used in Atlanta. {
.He said the need for better streets,
better schools and other improve
}ments mentioned during the cham
ber conferences are all subservient
to the adoption of a new city charter
improving the form of government.
“A charter which will give the city
a businesslike form of government
and one not subject to the hand of
the policitian with his bickerings and
inefficiences is needed now,” he said.
“It is not the City Hall crowd so
called that is subject to eriticism,
but the system under which they are
forced to operate and the thousand
and one disadvantages they are forced
to bear. They do the best they can
under the circumstances and it is up
to the people of Atlanta to change
the conditions so the city can ad
vance.”
He emphasized the fact that a
certain element would bitterly oppose
any changing in the form of govern
ment because they like the political
business which is inspired by the al
dermanic form.
W. D. Manley said the public
should be called into a mass meet
ing and told of the conditions exist
ing and they would take steps to do
away with a wasteful form of gov
ernment which was not producing the
desired results for the majority of the
people.

All “best last lines” to Limerick No. 37 must be received
by noon Monday, March 22. Award will be announced
Wednesday, March 24.
Tt was a fine chance for real, dyed
in-the-wool Americans.
And mighty few of the thousands
who sent in ‘“last lines" to the pa
triotic limerick, No. 32, in The Geor
gian’s series, overlooked the oppor
tunity.
“That SHE made the kaiser turn
tail,” is the winning iast line and
the author is I. T. Whe?‘er, 611
Southern Railway Bnilding.
Here'’s the whole limerick:
The American people turn pale
As British walks off with their
“kale,”
But it gets on their nerves
‘When she blithely observes,
“That SHE made the kaiser turn
tail.
So Mr. Wheeler can call on the
limerick editor and get SSO in gold—-
'good American gold!
~ Speaking of patriotism and Amer
jecan ‘“kale,” SSO will buy 200 25 cent
thrift stamps, or a Liberty Bond.
Nearly every limerick fan, it seems,
has some particular use for the SSO.
When “Nellie” of Cleveland, Ga.—
ghe is a 9-year-old eirl and in the
fourth grade—sent in her “last line”
to a recent limerick, she wrote:
“If I get this limerick, I'm going
to nelp papa buy a car,”
- An Atlanta girl, named Eleanor,
wrote:
“I hope to win so. I can buy a
mandolin and take music. I am only
12 years oid and sure hope to win.”
There's another limerick today for
all the fans and all the other readers
of The Georgian. Remember the
proverb of “try, try again,” ete.

exempting stock dividends from in=
