A SAILORS LETTER

The following letter, written 1,
J. ID. Pearson, a former Citizen cor.
respondent from Green Hall, will b,
read with interest by many friend,
Of the writer, Teddie r. Pearson:
Inverness, Scotland
U. s. s. Quinnebaug
November 20, 1918
Dear Father,
As I am now allowed 10 write what
| please, I will try TO tell you all the
news | can possibly think Of.
| have been longing TO tell you all
exactly where we have been for the
past seven months. We are anchor
ed at Inverness, Scotland, on the
northeast coast, and have been here
and at another small town all the
while.
We will up-anchor and sail for
Glasgow, Scotland, Liverpool or
London, England, by the first Of De-
cember. There the whole ships
company will be given five days
leaves, then by the middle of the
month we are TO sail for the good
U. S. A., reaching New York before
or little after Christmas. This was
told us yesterday by our captains
so there can possibly be no mistake
in IL.
Our ship will sure be looking fine
when we return TO Gods country,
for we have been doing some good
work toward making our ship as
clean as any in the Fleet.
You can imagine how happy every
one is TO return, for we have GER
tainly experienced some rough old
times in the mine fleet. We are all
anxious TO get where we can spend
dollars and quarters instead OF shil-
lings. pences and pounds.
Will try and tell you a bit OF our
success planting mines. We have
made ten trips OF mining. going the
first trip ten miles off the coast OF
Heligoland and coming toward the
coast OF Scotland. We finished up
this mine field, just before the ar
was signed, and were ready
10 go south TO England and 10 Italy.
Our mining was a complete success.
We were attacked a few times by
old Kaiser Bills submarines and had
a few TO come near getting US, but
they were beaten of by our convoy
Of destroyers. Also had few mines
TO go of after they were planted,
but doing no damage except 10
shake the ship a bit.

CONGRESS MAY
QUIZ DANIELS
Investigation Expected to Follow
Controversy Between Sec
retary and Admiral Sims
QUESTION OF OPINION
Sims Says Officer in Charge of
Operations Is Best Qualified
to Pass on Merits.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Congressional
investigation, it was indicated today
might result from the controversy be-
tween Admiral Sims and Secretary
Daniels over the awards of distin-
guished service medals in the navy.
The report of the awards of the
decorations has been transmitted to
the senate naval committee by Sec
retary Daniels at the request of Chair
man Page. Representative Lufllin.
republican, of Massachusetts, member
of the house naval committee said hs
would ask the house to call for a SINH
lar report.
The issue which had been shoulder
ing in inner naval circles, came out in
to the open with the publication of
letter written by Admiral Sims to
Secretary Daniels, in which he declined
to accept his distinguished service
medal unless the list of awards were
revised to include those recommended
by him to receive the second highest
naval decoration.
In his letter, Admiral Sims said that
of the ninteen officers recommended
by him for the distinguished service
medal, only six received it. He declared
that a commanding officer present
was more qualified to judge the rela-
tive merits of officers entitled to re-
ward and that a board of awards sys
tenn could not be fair and that officers
in important administrative posts on
shore occupied relatively more respon-
sible positions than those serving at
sea-
Secretary Daniels in his report to
the committee said the entire contro-
yersy revolyed around the question
of which class of service-shore or
sea-was more important. He eX-
pressed the opinion that only shore
duty Of the highest Importance should
be recognized equally with positions
of grave danger in the active war zone
He declared that under the law and
by authority of the president it was
the secretary of the navy's duty to
make the final decision.
In response to Admiral Sims state
ment that The commanding officers
of ships sunk by enemy submarines
should not receive decorations, Secre-
tary Daniels said that in his opinion
the Distinguished Service medal should
be awarded to those officers in COM
mand of ships of the navy which We're
sunk by submarine attack and whose
conduct was meritorious.
