"The cordiality of the reception which' has been given me is accepted as an expression of gratitude for what the United States navy was able to do during - the war. I think. however, that laymen are disposed to give too much credit to the American navy for what it achieved in cooperation with the allies." . This statement was the significant ut terance by Rear Admiral Sir William . Sims before the -Pilgrims' club at a luncheon in his honor today. "Everybody knows now that when the United States came into the war things were pretty desperate on this side in naval affairs on account 'of the subma rines,' said' Admiral Sims. "There is a free masonry of the ea that when one seaman finds another In difficulty there is no sacrifice or danger that he would not undertake to help his shipmate. ; "So it was when the American navy came over in 1917 and placed their forces at the disposal of the allied naval council.

The Snake river rose more rapidly this morning, with .4 of a foot increase over Thursday's level, and the Columbia went up of a foot. The stage at The Dalles was reported as 3S.2 this morning.
