SECRETARY DANIELS
IS FRIGHTENED
Dares Not Punish Admiral Sims
Would Disrupt Whole Naval Serv-
ice-Next Move by Congress

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-What
move Josephus Daniels will make next
to meet the issue brought to a head
when Admiral William S. Sims refused
to accept the distinguished service med.
al awarded him because brother ofic
crs had been treated uniustly by the
secretary, was the one subject being
discussed at the navy department yes
terdav. The concensus of opinion was
that the secretary would deal drastic
ally with the admiral who commanded
America 3 naval forces overseas if he
should do what he really wants to do
but that his hand is stayed by the
knowledge that he cannot court-martial
Sims or call for his resignation with
out disrupting the naval service, for
congress and tho public will demand
that either Admiral Sims or Secretary
Daniels be vindicated. There can be
no halfway business about the issue
as it stands now. This is more than
n controversy; it is a crisis. Either the
officers of the navy who have been re-
fused the honors due them must re-
ceive their due or congress must share
! with the secretary the odium now at
tached to the name of Mr.. Daniels. as
Il result Of the disgraceful episode
Apparently the next important move
must be made by congress, which, on
| Jan. ), will order an investigation OF
the handpicking Of medalists by Mr.
| Daniels. Ordinarily a different course
would be pursued. Admiral Sims knew
! perfectly well. it must be presumed
when he wrote declining the medal and
criticizing Mr.. Daniels for Juggling the
recommendations of the Knight board
Of awards, that he promptly would bt
called to account If another tradition
of the navy was to be observed.
! It is not straining prophecy very
much to say that Admiral Sims vii
not be court -martialed or dismissed. L
the secretary dares to court martial
him i'll view of the bitter public opin
ion such action would arouse, he ha,
not so indicated. On the contrary, tn
only possible inference to be gainet
from most exhaustive research in tn
navy department is that the secretar-
does not know what move to max
next that will not put him in wors
Light before congress and the Ameri
can people than he stands in now
