after the Cruger girl disappeared, and
Cocchi was repeatedly questioned be-

No Details Given.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 20
A brief message from London to the
navy department was the first news
of the appointment of Admiral Sims to
command the Allied naval forces il
Irish waters during the absence of the
British commander of that district, and
gave no other information as to the
new responsibilities placed upon the
American officer
The Washington government has
gwen Admiral Sims wide powers to en-
able him to meet any situation. He
has full authority to act on his OWE
initiative in disposing his forces so as
to secure the greatest cooperation
with the French and British nayies.
and also the maximum efficiency in the
battle against German submarines.
Much of his time has been spent in
London and Paris and late adyices are
the first to indicate that he has been
at sea with his ships.
The statement that Admiral Sims had
hoisted his flag as senior Allied naval
officer in Irish waters led to much
speculation as to what American war
/ ship he might be using as a flagship,
as presumably he would hoist his flag
aboard an American vessel. The only
facts disclosed by the department as
to the vessels now in European waters
have been that destroyers have been
sent to British ports and naval col
hers to French ports with supplies.
Tremendous responsibilities have
been placed on Admiral Sims should
ers. The tale of torpedoed ships in
Irish waters is an often repeated one
1t has been said that even without the
American vessels the British have had
thousands of destroyers, ,submarins
chasers of all sizes, mine sweepers-
air craft and every other known
method of combating submarines post
ed in these waters in the effort to keep
open the shipping lanes.
All of these forces are now under
Ac,niral Sims. On him rests probably
the duty of arranging for the arrival
and departure of commercial vessels.
boil, transatlantic and coastwise, that
ply Irish waters. The British admir-
atty exercises rigid control over all
ship movements and no vessel leaves
port until the naval commander re-
PORTS the seas free of the enemy.
In some quarters it was pointed out
that the announcement that the Ameri-
can officer had been placed, even tenn
p,.rarily, in command of British fo-*~i
greatly superior to those under the
American flag in those waters might
have a political effect in Ireland where
the situation is turbulent with the ap-
rroach of the Irish convention period.
II might tend to show beyond ques-
tion it was suggested, that the Brit
ish and American governments were in
perfect accord.
