Investigation Demanded

THE TIMES DISPATCH has said before and
now repeats that Congress owes 1t to the
country and to itself TO investigate the issue
OF veracity raised between Secretary of the
Navy Daniels and RearAdmiral Fiske That
issue is perfectly clcar-cu. One or the other
OF these men is not equipped morally for the
position he occupies. and one or the other
should he separated from the service
AS a stanch friend OF Mr.. Daniels. this
newspaper urges him to faciitate-indeed. to
demand--such an investigation. His honor
requires It. We have no question he will
emerge from the ordeal freed Of every i'm
putation of nsncerity and unfairness. The
investigation Is due also TO Admiral Fiske.
AS the matter stands. his usefulness In the
navy is at An end. He should either be re-
stored to the confidence of his associates and
the respect of the country or retired to
private life.

The Bremen, it was said, while en-
meshed in the net was sighted by a
British patrol boat, her stern under

surface After endeavoring for time
to eXtricate the wreck, the patrol boat
scanned away for Dover with her pris-
oners.
According to the officer quoted the
British government has maintained ST.
lence in regard to the capture, as an
other German transatlantic subma-
rine, the America, was said to be on
the way here and it was hoped to cap
ture her also.
