DOUBLE STAND
ARD A PERIL
Secretary Daniels Points Out
Military Menace in
Social Disease.

Dealing frankly and boldly with the
social evil as a menace to the ma
tons military efficiency, Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels, in an address be-
fore the Clinical Congress of Sur
geons of North America in Chicago
appealed to the medical profession "to
end the false double standard that de-
ereases military effectiveness"
The profession, he declared, must
share its part of the blame for the
objectionable prudery that endured
fostering evil rather than have made
it exposed and eradicated."
"There is not an army in the field
whose effectiveness is not reduced by
reason of immoral disease" said Sec
rotary Daniels. "The navy suffers like
wise and business halts because We
nereal diseases destroy the manhood
of workmen and fighters.
"Sir William Osler places these in
fectious diseases at the top as a
menace in war and in peace. The
time has come TO realize that this
subtlest foe Of humanity must be
conquered, and it cannot be conquered
by denying its existence, saying it is
necessary evil, or applying pallia-
tives. 1t is deadlier than smallpox
or cancer or tuberculosis. A Cana
dian authority says, Its ravages to-
day are more terrible for Britain and
Canada than Vimy Ridge, the Somme
and Lens
"The remedy There is but one
confluence. 1t must be preached in
the home, in the school, in the marts

wAsHINoroS, May 2s.-It now de-

ton that Rear Admiral Sims had
reported that Germany had advance in
formation about the destination OF the
American destroyers and that this in-
formal lion came from the German spy
half true. The official report OF Admiral
Sims shows that he stated that it was
reported that Germany had the advance
information. but that he made no
reference whatever TO II having come
from the United States.
In making the announcement on FRI
day George Greet of the Bureau of
Public Information stated specifically
that the Navy Department called atten-
tion to "as proof that the German spy
system Is still at work In this country"
Naval officers say there are many
ways by which Germany might have
learned in advance Of the prospective
arrival of the destroyers NJ Queenstown,
but that II is far more likely that the in
formation came from the vicinity Of
Queenstown than from the American
continent, where not more than half a

Government-knew where the port OF

The text OF Vice-Admral Simss re-
port was made public tonight by Sec
retary Daniels. 1t was contained in a

retary said and was as follows:
An interesting feature in connection
with the arrival Of the destrOyers IL the
report that their sailing appeared In
Berlin newspapers about four days be.
fore their arrival, and also that a field
Of mines was planted imm ediately of
the entrance Of the port at which they
arrived the day before the arrival took
place. These weBe the first mines
planted In that vicinity during the pre-.
viOus three months.
In giving out the extract Mr.. Daniels
said that the letter made no further ref
erence TO the matter. and that the Vice
Admiral did not give any statement OF
speculation as to how Berlin obtains its
information" The Secretary also made
public the following additional extract
from the Admirars letter:
"I am pleased to be able to report the
excellent impression given by our offi-
GERS ships and crews under their COM
mand Our ships made no dtmands OF
consequence upon the facilities offered
here. in spite OF the length OF their pass
age under adverse conditions. The con-
mander when questioned by the Admiral
as to when his vessels would be ready
for duty reported that he, should be
ready that night, as soon as the ships
were refueled.
'This was apparently a considerable
surprise to the Admiralty. who ther
gave them four days before taking ur
active work. The vessels themselves
caused great deal OF complimentar, r,
comment, and were found to be wei
equipped for their prospective duty.
