oTHER OFFICERS WRITE

ard of Rear Admiral Henry T. Mayo, who was in command of the Atlantic fleet during the period of hostilities, were added today to the list of officers who have written the secretary regarding the awards.
 Other officers who have made protests include Vice Admiral Hillary P. Jones commander of squadron No. 2 of the Atlantic fleet; Admiral Becker, command irg the Seventh naval district, Key West, and Capt. Raymond D. Hasbrouck, com mander of the battleship Minnesota. Ae- miral Jones ani Captain Hasbrouck re- fused the navy cross for which they had been recommended, supporting the point of view taken by Admiral Sims.
 The objections voiced by these officers will be placed before the Knight board and Secretary Daniels said today he hoped the revised awards made by the board could be adopted without change. He indicated he would send them to the President for his personal approval
 The department made public tonight copies of letters as to the awards re- oeived by MT. Daniels from Admirals Sims Mayo and Becker and Captain I4a sbrouck That from Admiral Jones goes at some length into the service he rendered during the war beginning as commander of squadron of the patroi force, later of squadron of the cruiser force still later as commander or the Newport News division, cruiser ana transport force, and finally as admins trator of harbor floating equipment in the Hampton Roads district.
 JONES REFUSES CROSS
 ssIt is submitted" the letter said, s'that if the discharge of these highly respon- sible and largely independent duties were so successful as to meet the departments approyal. the responsible officer should be recognized commensurately, and those subordinates whom he recommended as having contributed directly to that sue cess should also be recognized. If on the contrary the duties outlined above were not successfully carried out to the satisfaction of the department ,nere should be no award or decorations.
 Tn view of these considerations Admiral Iones said he felt it "my duty to the dig uity and importance of the forces oper- ated and the work accomplished by then' to request that the award to him of navy cross be cancelled
 Admiral Mayo declared 1t was eVi- dent there had been "a misconceptlon in considering recommendations for decorations he made as commander of the fleet, many of which, he added were not carried out. The letter notes that no member of Admiral Mayos staff received decoration except ms chief of staff, and asserts an admirals success rests to a large extent upon the 'loyalty, initiative and efficiency" of his staff personnel.
 Failure to recognize adequately the seryice of men on such duty, it said "creates an impression that such duty is of minor importance" not compara- ble to command of single ship. Such an impression. it said, would be fatal to the development of the navy as a fighting machine.".
 Admiral Mayo renewed his recom- mendations and urged that reconsider alton be given meritorious cases.
 Admiral Decker's letter notes that he had been awarded navy cross under the published list in recognition

sy A,,seIs,.d Pres,

Washington, December 27. Full investigation of the con- troversy over awards of decor ations for war service to naval officers, brought to a head by Rear Admiral William s. Sims recent protest against the tentative list issued by the navy department, will be made by Congress and by the depart ment.
 . On the heels of Secretary Daniels an- Enouncement that the naval board headed by Rear Admiral Knight had been or dered reconvened to review it's findings on recommendations for medals, or other decorations, Representative Lufkin, re- publican, Massachusetts, of the House naval committee, conferred with mem hers of the Senate committee, and stated joint committee would take up the whole question when Congress recon vened
 Representative Lufkin said Secretary Daniels, Admiral Knight, Admiral Sims and other officers would be called before the joint committee, which does not need special authorization for it's inquiry. Changes made by Mir Daniels in the board list of awards, as well as the ac- tion of the board in each case, will be examined, he said.
 Secretary Daniels said today that in re- vising the list of decorations and in rassing on new ommendations for awards, the Knight board would be in structed to follow in general the policy he adopted in revising the original lists, giving due consideration to the objections voiced by officers who have criticised some of the awards.

approve all Of the recommenda-
tions Of the commanding officers.
The secretary did not approve all
the recommendations of the board.
He added names of officers and en-
listed men who had performed con-
spicuous service. The only way
that fair-minded men can Judge the
wisdom of the awards 80 far an
nounced will be to compare the
lists.
After every war, there are. of
course, differences Of opinion as to
the award Of distinction.
"Most distinguished honorb
should be awarded those who were
in most peril and who suffered
most and rendered the most dis
tinguished service. The awards 50
far announced followed this sound
policy. The final and complete list
has not been approved, for some
recommendations were long de-
layed."
Wants More Facts.
Representative Lufkin, Republic
can, Massach usetts, a member of
the house naval committee, an
nounced today that when congress
reconvened he would introduce a
resolution calling on the navy de-
partment for a report on changes
made by Secretary Daniels in the
recommendations for awarding ma
val decorations.

changes made by the secretary and

DANIELS GETS
ALL FACTS ON
NAVAL AWARDS
Refusal Of Sims to Accept Decora-
ton Leads to Digging Up
Of Records.

!. Washington, Dec. 23.-Secretary
Daniels today ordered a compre-
hensive report on award of naval
decorations prepared for the infor-
nation of Chairman Page Of the
senate naval committee. 1t will
include all recommendations by in
dividuals or by boards and the ac-
tion by the boards and by the sec
rotary himself upon the recon-
Inendations.
The order was issued in response
TO a request from Senator Page
which followed criticism Of the
manner in which some Of the
awards were distributed.
Part Of this criticism was made
by Rear Admiral Sims. who COM
manded American naval forces
overseas during the war.
Declines Decoration.
Mr.. Daniels declined to comment
on the letter from Admiral Sims
further than to say that published
excerpts from the letter appeared
to be substantially correct. al
though he had not had time to read
the communication carefully. In
the letter Admiral Sims declined
the decoration "a distinguished
service medal--tendered to him
personally on the ground that in
justice had been done some officers
in the distribution of the awards.
When the list of recommends
ti0ns and awards is made public, "
said Mr.. Daniels in referring to the
report to be sent to Senator Page,
II have no doubt the American
people will approve the principle
followed and the application Of
that principle"
Changes Expected.
Mr.. Daniels added that the list
Of awards already made was in no
way final, that additions undoubt-
eddy would be made as more recent
recommendations were taken up
for consideration, and, it was not
impossible that some names might
be removed from the published
list.
''Last week l received a letter
from c. S. Page, chairman Of the
naval affairs committee Of the sen.
ate" Mr.. Daniels said, requesting
a.copy Of the so-called knight
