SIMS MUST EXPLAIN
HIS ODD REMARK
Statement at London Banquet
Otfends Germany.

Commander William S. Sims. Of the
United States battleship Minnesota. of
the Atlantic fleet. may be called upon
officially TO explain a remark he made
in London on Dec. 3. on the occasion
OF dinner which was given by the
London authorities TO the officers of
the visiting fleet.
Commander Sims was quoted at the
time as saying that 1t was hi per.
sonal opinion that in the event war
between Great Britain and European
enemy the English people could count
upon every man. every dollar and ev.
cry drop of blood of their kindred
across the sea
While such a sentiment would ordi-
narily attract but little attention. It
stirred up enough fuss to attract the
official attention OF the secretary Of
the navy. for the German newspapers.
already piqued because the American
fleets cruise did not include German
ports, took up Commander Sims re-
mark as the basis for more unfriendly
criticism.
II Is understood that Commander
Sims has practically admitted the ac-
curacy Of his reported statement. and
that President Taft now has the mat
ter under consideration. Any disci.
plinary action which may be taken
will probably be in the nature of an
official reprimand. IL is said. as the
officers OF the navy department do not
consider the offense of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant court martial.
