Issuance III the name OF the Depart
ment OF Justice of "a statement which
he said appeared TO he in contirmat ion

ment. conferred at length with At
torney General Gregory. 1t was under
stood Mr. Polk Informed the Attorney
General that Baron Zwiedimck had sug-
gested that the Department OF Justice
repudiatc the statement II il actually
WAS not issued with it's authority
There is no intirnation that this might
be done, although il was generally un-
dcrstood the statement objected to ac-
tually was put out without the per-
sonal knowledge of the Attorney
General.
1t was learned that Baron Zwiedinck
had transmitted a communication upon
the subject to Secretary Lansing. al
though announcement of the receipt of
this communication has not been made
Officials Of the embassy declined TO dis
cuss the case for publication. and it,
therefore. could not be definitely estab-
liShcd whether the charge was acting
upon his own initiative or instructions
from Vienna. The latter was consid-
cred in official circles. however, as be-
ing the more probable.

II WAS this reference to ConSul-Gen-
eral Won Nubcr and his assistants, pre-
sumably other Austro- Hungarian con-
suls in the United States, that the
charge objected.
The Austrian embassy. il was said ut
the State Department to-day. had not
entered an official denial of the charges
made by DR. Goricar, although informal
denial had been made in a letter.

DANIELS D|SAPPROvEs
FINDINGS IN LITTLE CASE
Rear-.Admiral Acquitted on Charges
OF Negligence i'm Connection With
Inspection OF the K-2
NO NEW TRIAL TO BE ORDERED
This Decision Arrived At Because OF
Expense of Further Proceedings
and Admitted Personal and Official
Integrity Of Accused Officer.

WASHINGTON, November 22-Secre-
tary Daniels to-day disapproved the
fndinEs OF the general court martial
which acquitted Rear Admiral William
y. Little, retired. Of charges OF ncgli-
gcncc in connection with his duty as
inspector during the construction OF
the submarine K-2. No new trial. how
ever. will he ordered.
statement issued by the depart
ment said that. in view OF the expense
of further proceedings. and the ad-
mitted personal aud official integrity of
Admiral Little, the findings merely had
been disapprovcd without reconvening
the court.
An important sidelight upon the at
titude of Admiral Little i'm the per-
formance of his duties as inspector"
said the statement. "is shown by the
testimony of Lieutenant Moses. where
in he states that Rear Admiral Little
was not easily approachable, and that
he tMoSes) was made to feel that his
opinions and recommendations would
preferably be made to Admiral
l-ittle's assistants: this attitude IL fur
thermore cXemplificd In Rear -Admiral
Littles own testimony, wherein he re-
, ierS To MoSes'3 representations con
cerninE the battery as kicks and
wherein he states that they were kick
ing all the time about one thing or an
other"
DEPI.ORES THIS ATTITUDE
on PART OF OFFICER
The statement said the department
deplores this attitude on the part of an
office :. and continues:
The court, after mature deliberation.

Rear Admiral Little of the charges,
The department is unable to concur
with the court. or. after careful review
or the evidence, to ascertain the rea-
sons governing ii in its acquittal"
Secretary Daniels said his chief rea =
son Tor disappearing the acquittal was
because he wished to Impress on older
f. oihcers the necessity of giving full
weight To the recommendations OF their
juniors Lieutenant Moses was on
