Admiral Simt Making
Good Pledge for Which

Special Serrlca to The KxprenH.
WASBINIiTON, 1). C., June 19.—
There is an element of history's
irony in the fact that Vice Admiral
Sims today acts—temporarily at
least—as commander in chief of the ^
naval forces guarding (ireat Britain )
Hgainst the submarine menace. In )
December, 1810, while in l^nuon, ?
he made a remark in a speech ;.t a
(iuild Ball banquet which later )
brought him a reprimand on order S
of the then President, William ij
Howard Taft. S
"If ever the time comes," said 1
Admiral Sims, "when the British
S Empire is menaced by an external
• foe she can count on every man,
every dollar, every ship and every
drop of blood of her kindred across
the sea." <,

respondent of the Vossisehe Zeitung lis

Hon not only of Premier Clain-MarMnic,

A majority nf the Herman papers treat
the news of the situutlnu with the greatest
reserve and the government organs In
Vienna hold out hopes that the crisis mav
tie overcome ti.v granting a few ministerial
posts to polish and other parliamentarians,
The Vossiache'Zeitung correspondent, how'
ever, points out that the defection of the
Poles Is sufficient to turn the ecales
agrlnst the government. The Poles tndl
catid the seriousness of their intentions by
h decision to vote against the budget, be
ing the first parliamentary group In anv
tieidgerent country aside from a handful
of extreme Socialists iu refusing to vote a

The Insistence of Premier Ctam-Martlnle
on Saturday that the Poles should
Immediately show their colors ts de
scribed as due to the initiative of Count
Cremln, who Is unable to carry on the
foreign policy of the government while un-
certainty regarding the attitude of Parlia-
ment continues.
The Polish aspirations which recently
have been Indicated are aimed at practi-

sola to insure against war rinks on th«
dates pi von above.
Vessel ownei'H are given the option of In-
suring wllh the Hureau of War Ul*k <>r
with Hie regular Insurance companies, but
if this latter form of insurance Is preferred
the polled must be on terms satisfactory
to the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr.
McAdoo believes he will expedite the
workings of the bureau by having: a pri-
vate Insurance man at hand, lo which he
has appointed John J. Crowley of Hart-
ford, assistant to Director Delanev. The
new law provides that In case of death,
permanent disability preventing the person
Injured from performing any and all kinds
of duties pertaining to his occupation or
the loss of both hands, both arms, both
legs and both eyes, the policies will cover
an amount equivalent to one year's earn-
ings or to twelve times the monthly earn-
ings of the Insured us fixed in the articles
for the voyage but In no case Khali the
amount bo more than $8,000 or less than
$1,005.
An important feature of the insurance
plan relates to the capture and detention
of American sailors. For such cases the
policies provide for the payment during
the period of detention by the enemy oi
compensation nt. the same rate as the earn-
ings of the Insured immediately preceding
such detention. While the law compel!
owners to take out the insurance. It stipu-
lates that payment for losses slinll be made
only to the master, officer or member
of the crew concerned. Where there Is
loss of life, payment will be made to the
estate of the Insured for the distribution
to his family free from liability of debt.
All payments on account of cantnre and
detention will be made to the dependents
of the person detained if designated bv
him.
Where owners evade insuring their men
the secretary Ik empowered to tnke out the
required insurance with the bureau at
the cost of the owner who, In addition,
maybe fined $1,000 for each member of the
crew he has left unprotected.
The amount of the premium with interest
and of the penalty and all costs, will act
as a lien on the vessel.

BELGIAN MISSION IS THROUGH
Came Neither to Seek Men Nor Money
Nor to Give Advice.
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 19.-The
P-elglan war mission, having expressed to
American officials Belgium's gratitude for
what this country has done for her
stricken people, regards Its work here as
complete, since It came neither to seek
men, money nor ships nor to give advice.
Now that the mission is here, however,
officials are eager t<» ihow jn more than
a perfunctory way their deep sympathy
for Belgium's war aspirations. Sugges-
tions will be sought on many phases of
the war. It Is likely that the mission
will visit several other cities in order
to cement the boud between the two coun-
tries.
Tonight the members were the guests
of Secretary Lansing at a formal dinner.
