CONTROVERSY HAS REACHED CLIMAX BY ADMIRAL'S REFUSAL
 TO ACCEPT MEDAL
(Continued from Page One)

awards convened under Rear Admiral Austin NJ Knight in the case of z number of officers serving on shore at home or in home waters so that such officers would receive decorations of lesser value than officers serving in the face of the enemy overseas
 In contrast to Admiral Sims statement that the commanding officers of ships sunk by enemy submarines should not re- ceive decorations, MT. Daniels in his re- port said:
 'In addition to the recognition of the service rendered by the officers and men of the forces above mentioned, there was also of course, the case of particular in oividuals whose conduct was outstanding and who should be singled out for special recognition.
 'It was my opinion that the distin- guish service medal should be awarded to those officers in command of ships of the navy which were sunk by sub- marine attack and whose conduct was meritorious in such cases. I required all these cases to be carefully investigated and as a result of this every officer re- ported meritorious in command of such B ship was awarded "a distinguished ser vice medal"
 NUMBER INCREASED
 Commenting on the fact that the Knight board originally recommended only eight officers and men who served in the armed guards on board merchant ships for decorations, the secretary said that in view of the hazardous nature of such duty and after careful investigation he had increased the number of decorations awarded in such cases to 36 navy crosses and two distinguished service medals.
 Secretary Daniels, contrasting the rela- tive importance of duty ashore and afloat said:
 'Tn my judgment individual duties ashore are always and necessarily Of sec ondary importance to duties afloat.
 Admiral Sims in his letter to the sec retary said:
 ''Alf individual duties afloat are neces- sarily of secondary importance in com parison with the vital importance of di- recting all operations. both ashore and

THREE CLASSES PROVIDED

By laA. three classes of decorations are provided for officers and men of the navy as follows
 The medal of honor, awarded by the President in the name of Congress for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity. the distinguished service medal to be award ed by the Secretary of the Navy to any person who had distinguished him self by exceptionally meritorious Ger vice to the government. and the navy cross. awarded also by the secretary for extraordinary heroism or distinguished service. Such heroism or distinction not being sufficient to justify the award of medal of honor or a distinguished service medal"
 Secretary Daniels tonight refused to discuss the Sims letter from any angle declaring that the fixed policy he had established would continue to govern Ifs action.

afloat in such a manner as to insure the success of the whole"
 'Tt is realized" said the naval sec retary, in concluding his report, that where there have been so many occa- sions of performance of meritorious service by the 50O,000 officers and men in the navy in the great war, there may easily be differences of opinion in re- gard to the comparative merits of any particular cases, but. under the law and acting by authority of the Presi- dent, it is the Secretary of the Navy's duty to make the final decision in such cases. It is believed that the motives and policies as above outlined have been entirely in keeping with theSlet ter and spirit of the law, which estab lished these medals and decorations for the navy.

ADMIRAL'S LETTER

This becomes my duty because this list contains a number of instances of injustices to distinguished officers, the effect of which upon the morale of the service cannot fail to be very detri- mental.
 ''The injustice lies not in the number of awards made, but in the( fact that the awards as issued to officers in a number of instances are not in accord with the relative merit of services per formed by them as indicated by my recomm endations. Officers who were recommended for the highest awards appear on the list as having been &C., corded lower awards, and vice-versa."
 Declaring that only the commanding officer actually present could best judge the relative merits of officers entitled to particular recognition, that no board of award system could be fair and that officers in high admipistra- tive posts on shore occupied relatively more responsible positions than those serving at sea. Rear Admiral Sims as- serted that of 19 officers under his per sonal command whom he recommended for the distinguished service medal only six were accorded that honor the remainder being awarded navy crosses. He cited the cases of nine rear admirals under his command abroad, all recom- mended fsF the distinguished service medal, of whom but four received that honor.
 Secretary Daniels action in reward ing with decorations the officers who commanded vessels sunk by enemy submarines was particularly criticised hx-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-12-24
FEARS DEPLoRABLE EFFECT

"A special class of awards" his let ter said. "are the subject of such serv- ice condemnation and ridicule that the effects upon the future and present morale of the service much necessarily be deplorable to the last degree, name ly, the distinguished service medals awarded to many, if not all, of the of- ficers who were defeated in action or whose ships were sunk or seriously damaged by enemy submarines.
 These are typical examples, not only af unsuccessful actions but of failure to injure the enemy. The victors in these actions were the German sub marines
 'The commanding officer of a vessel that is sunk by submarine should not receive the same reward as the commanding officer of vessel which sinks submarine Yet it is precisely this which has been done in a number of instances"
 Admiral Sims further charged that his specific request that lists of awards to men formerly under his command be referred to him before final action was not complied with resulting in many fuitISticeS

CANNOT ACCEPT MEDAL

Asserting that while it would be manifestly undesirable to decrease any of the awards made public, lit is stily within the power of~the department tc adequately recognize the services of distinguished officers who have re- ceived rewards inferior to those which have been accorded to less deserving officers of my late command" Ad- miral Sims, in concluding his memo randum, said that he was necessarily placed in position which rendered it impossible to accept the distingui shed service medal conferred on him by the. navy department.
 A recapitulation of the Knight boards and Secretary Daniels on the 19 recommendations made by Rear Admiral Sims shows that of the 19 of ficers whom the latter recommended for distinguished service medals the

NO TIME LIMIT

Later reports and additional infor- nation will be given due consideration in future action with regard to addi- tional decorations. for there is no limit of time prescribed when these honors may be awarded. In view of delayed reports and lack of data other awards will be made, but in every case the principles above set forth will guide executive action."
 The Secretary compiled his report December 1s, before the Sims letter reached him.
 Rear Admiral Sims letter, in which he declined the distinguished service medal, conferred on him by the de- partment, pending a revision of the Secretary's list of awards, referred par ticularly to Mir Daniels action in changing recommendations which had been made for decorations to be con- ferred on officers who were under the admirars immediate command during the war.
 Declaring that he felt it his duty to invite Secretary Daniels attention to "certain features" of the list of awards to naval officers, Rear Admiral Sims letter said:

SERVE SENTENCE
Chicago unionist Must Co TO Jail
For Violating Drastic
Court Order.

CHICAGO. Dec. 10.-The United
States supreme court has affirmed
decision by the Illinois state supreme
court that Charles Dold, president of
the Piano and Organ Workers Inter-
national union, shall serve 80 days in
jail and pay $500 fine for violating
an injunction.
On Oct. l, 1917 employees Of this
union suspended work at the Lyon &
Healy company plant when they were
refused wage increases and several Of
their number were discharged.
Their wages ranged from ~ to Sc
cents an hour. Judge Smith of the SUI
perior court, this city. issued an in
junction against the strikers who were
denied the right to picket. The work
ers ignored this command. They were
arrested on Judge Smiths order and
President Dold was fined $500 and
sentenced to 80 days in Jail.
On appeal by the unionists the state
supreme court sustained the decision
Even though the Injunction issued
by Judge Smith was too drastic that
did not give the workers the right to
violate any part of the injunction"
Judge Smiths action is in line with
decisions by the state supreme. court
which has put the stamp Of disap-
prevail on picketing.
