DANIELS PUTS
ON SOFT PEDAL
Reuests Capt. Sims to Rewrite
Report on Jutland
Battle.

Secretary Daniels has written to Capt
W. S. Sims asking him to rewrite his
statement about the naval battle of
Jutland and make it conform to the
dictates Of strict neutrality. Not even
the House Naval Affairs Committee,
which. solicited the statement, will re-
ceive 1t until 1t has been modified and
put in such shape that it will not offend
Germany.
There is keen speculation In naval
circles as to how Capt. Sims, whom
Secretary Daniels described as very
frank, will take the departments re-
quest that he make his remarks con-
form to the approved "soft-pedal" brand
dictated by the doctrine of strict neu-
trality."
Capt Sims. they say, either says what
he means or says nothing. 1t is believed
likely that he will eliminate all discus
sion OF the naval battle in his reply or
possibly ask to be excused from ex-
pressing his opinions
Secretary Daniels said that Capt Sims
Incidentally believed that the role of
the battle cruiser had not been depre-
ciated in value as a result OF the Jut-
land fight
