From Our Own Correspondent, Kingston, Out., Nov. 30.
Judging from the space given in the newspapers here to the visit of Admiral Sims to Canada it, might almost be considered that this was the most important event which has taken place during this month. It was natural that Canadians should make much of one of the country's own sons, and delight to do honour to a man who, by his high courage and independence, has lo such a name! throughout the world. He was; given a most enthusiastic welcome, and the Universities almost tumble ed over each other in conferring honorary: degrees upon hi made a d many speeches, but in them there was nothing to stir up the wrath of the United States Naval Department. He praised the ce-operation of the navies of the two countries in the War, and pointed out how one of the greatest problems in_it was to preserve the British Grand Fleet from destruction by submarines. Probably this led him to declare that the next war will be won by the nation which has the largest number of submarines and aeroplanes. He rather scorned the outery against the use of poisonous gas, in view of the fact that some nations are even now employed in discover ing more deadly gases than those used; in the Great War.
