 ROW SENSATION
 AT WASHINGTON

~~~S~-~~O--~-~-~~~~~~ ---S-~~~~~~~-~~>-o~ command of the ships and sta tions concerned and tnls plan of procedure met my approval"
 In contrast to Admiral Sims statement that the commanding officers of ships sunk by enemy submarines should not receive decorations, MT. Daniels in his re- port said:
 "In addition to the recognition of the service rendered by the of- ficers and men of the forces above mentioned, there was also, of course, the case of particular in- dividuals whose condust was out standing and who should be sing led out for special recognition. It was my opinion that the distin- guished. service medal should be awarded to those officers in com mand of ships of the navy which were sunk by submarine attack and whose conduct was meritori- ous in such cases."
 Await Reports.
 Ut is realized" said the naval secretary in concluding his report "that where there have been SC many occasions of performance C meritorious service by the 500,0Ol officers and men in the navy in the great war there may easily be differences of opinion in regard te the comparative merits of any particular cases, but under the law and acting by authority o1 the president, it is the secretary of the navy's duty to make the final decision in such cases. It k believed that the motives and poll. cies as above outlined have beer entirely in keeping with the lette, and spirit fthe law which estab. lished these medals and decora. tions for the navy. Later reports and additional information will be given due consideration in future action with regard to additional decorations, for there is no limlt of time prescribed when these honors may he awarded. In view of delayed reports and lack o1 data other awards will be made but in every case the principles above set forth will guide execu. tive action"
 Asserting that while it would be manifestly undesirable to decrease any of the awards already made public, "it is still within the pow. CT of the department to adequate ly recognize the services of distin. guished officers who have receive; rewards inferior to those whicl have been accorded to less deserv. ing officers of my late command, Admiral Sims in concluding his memorandum said that, he was necessarily placed in position which rendered it impossible fo, him to accept the distinguished service medal conferred on him by the navy department.
 By law, three classes of decora. tions 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 distinguishes service medal to be awarded by the secretary of the navy to any per son who has distinguished himself by exceptionally meritorious ser vice to the government, and the navy cross, awarded also by the secretary for extraordinary hero ism or distinguished service"
 Secretary Daniels tonight re. fused to discuss the Sims letter from any angle, declaring that ths fixed policy he had establishec ec would continue to govern his | action
