Sims Charges Department Refused Battleships in
 Time of Danger

WASHINGTON, March 16 - Ger many missed an opportunity to par alyze shipping and American troop movements to France, in the summer of 1918 by not sending battle cruiser to raid conveys, Rear Ad- miral Sims said today, continuing his testimony before the senate com mittee investigating his charges against the naval departments con- duct of the war.
 Although the department was warned in September, 1917, of this danger, he said, it had no comprehen- sive plan to combat such an enemy move ten months later
 The department acknowledged that it had no approved plans and said that it depended upon the Euro pean forces and upon the British Grand fleet to stand off the danger until it had time to act,' Admiral Sims asserted.
 The department suggested plan af. ter plan in the intervening months the. admiral said. all based on a wrong premise and most of which had been previously rejected by the allies as unavoidable.
 In August, 1918, word came that the enemy was preparing two cruis CTS for raiding duty. Sims said, and not until then did the department abandon it's own ideas and accept his recommendation made ten months before, that battle ships be assigned to protect troop ships. He read from the cablesrams accepting his plan in which the department said it was 'only a temporary expedient" and did not solve the problem of coir tinued battle cruiser activity in the Atlantic"

REPUBLICANS SUBMIT PLAN TO
 ANNOUNCE FOREIGN POLICY AS
 NEW RESERVATION TO TREATY
Text Says U S. Will Regard with Grave Concern Any Act Calculated to Lead to War in Europe Ratification Vote Planned for End of Week and Reconsdera-
 ton Proposal in Event of Negative Decision

WASHINGTON, March 16.--A gen eral declaration of international policy under which the United States would view with grave concern" any future upheaval threatening the peace and freedom of Europe. was agreed on by Republican senate leaders today and presented as a new reservation to the peace treaty.
 Intended to replace the more defi- nite pledges of article zen, the reser- Vation Is to be pressed in the senate as the farthest step the Republican leaders are willing to go toward aban- donment of American isolation and par ticipation in European conflicts. It's text follows:
 Tt shall be the declared policy of this government that the freedom and peace of Europe being again threaten ed by any power or combination of powers, the United States will regard such situation with grave concern and will consider what, if any, action it will take in the premises"
 Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin draft ed the reservation in consultation with other Republican leaders, and intro duced it in the senate at the end of a day of debate on the Irish question which delayed treaty action. It gener- ally was predicted tonight, however, that the ratification roll call would come Friday or Saturday.
 Not many Democrats had an oppor- tunity tonight to study the new Repub- lican proposal and it was uncertain how much support it would command from that side of the chamber.
 Republican leaders were asserting tonight that the roll call would show 2 total very close to the two-thirds re- uuired to ratify with the Republican reservations. It is understood to be the purpose, if ratification fails, to re consider and take second vote in the hope that after they have made theil record of opposition, handful more

kapp Resiqns
REVOLT WEAkENS

BERLIN, March 16.-The new Kapp government at Berlin has not found the support it had looked for. and while it's hold on the administrative activities is growing weaker. the strength of President Ebert and his supporters including the members of the national assembly at Stuttgart has increased materially, if all reports are to he believed. Consequently, EbeTt's return to Berlin at an early date is confidently predicted in some quar- terS.
 That Dr. Wolfgang Kapp has virtu- ally reached the end of his resources. so far as concerns himself as head of
 the revolutionary movement is eVi- denced by the fact that he is said to have been ready to retire since Satur- day, but was persuaded by Colonel Bauor and Major General Ludendorff to remain.
 General Groener is credited with having sent message to Ebert offer tug to act as mediator between him ana Won Hindenburg with a view to restoring consttutionalism.
 HIndenburg has written to Kapp ad- vising him to withdraw from his posi-
 
 advised President Ebert to call for new elections.
 No Negotiations Yet
 Thus fal, however. what the consti- tutional president intends to do is not known but the future action of the na- tional assembly will probably decide his attitude. Those who enthusiastically believed Ebert might enter into neGo- tiations with the Berlin government are disappointed to learn today. that no definite negotiations are under way, though the basis of agreement as outlined yesterday by the Kapp faction seemed to afford an opportunity for the two contending governments To enter into discussion.
 Holds Treasury President Ebert's firm grip on ad- ministrative affairs in Berlin IS indl- cated by the fact that the imperial IT, nance minister, by his orders. has re- fused to turn over the money neces- sary fol the payment of the troops. de manded by the revolutionary chancell- or. and the under-secretary of the varl- ous ministers. as well as other off cials, have absolutely refused to take theil orders from the new govern ment. Some of them have quit Berlin.
 Strike Spreading
 The general strike proclaimed not only in Berlin but throughout Ger many is more pronounced today than ever. with the result that thousands are feeling the pinch of hunger, and the labor leaders are urging that this weapon be used in it's full force in be half of the constitutionalists. Capital punishment has been de creed by General Non Leuttwits Tor those formed in strikes or exercising passive resistance in any vital service This decree was declared to be effect i've after D. m. but it is considered questionable whether this threat will be put into operation. With the eN- tension of the strike and the determi- nation of the strikers, it would mean serious bloodshed.
 It has been estimated that 50 were killed in yesterdays fighting, although the figure is semi-officially denied. There were fresh collisions today m the northern part of Potsdamerplatz.

CCoNTrNCED ON FACE TWO
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-09-11

1T has been the practice of late to com
bine schools and to ship the pupils
miles upon miles each day in order to
send them to the centralized schools,
In some instances this has been the
part of wisdom But we believe the
Capitalization idea may be carried too
far and that the small towns will be
weakened thereby. Population follows
the schools, and If the schools are
closed the regions thus adversely af-
fected are quite sure to dwindle in
the number of inhabitants. Farmers
with families will sell or abandon their
farms in order to be near the schools
where their children may be educated.
The small towns are being stripped
of their population constantly, and we
believe that if the reasons were to be
sought it would be found that the dis
appearance of the schools in their h,me
regions was one ot tue strung dShhht'
ing causes. Therefore, it should Re the
business of the state and the towns
co operating to e-establish as many
Of these schools@ as possible and to
maintain them at good standard if
the agricultural population of the state
;s mt IN be drained even more fanifly
than during the last ten years. Mr.
Emery is an advocate Of some arrange
ment of this nature and if ne should
be elected governor he would be sure
10 lend his influence toward that end.
The voters should bear this in mind
when they 60 to the polls next Tues

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
Favors r. B. Thomas for States
ATTORNEY.

Editor, Barre Daily Times; As we
are getting near the primary election
/ am glad to see the strong indica-
tions that Col. Fred p. Thomas OF
Montpelier will be nominated for
states attorney by very large plu.
rality.
Not only is he well-ftted for the Of,
flee and in point of qualifications fully
the equal Of any other candidate, but
when our country was forced into the
World war he closed his law office and
abandoned his practice in order that he
might serve in the war and he did
serve for more than two years
Other things being equal, the average
voter like myself is for the man who
served
Besides. | am convinced that the
voters of Washington county feel that
it will be a ereditable thing to do to
place at least one veteran of the World
war on the county ticket. | believe
the voters would be glad to give more
of them place on the ticket if there
were others whose names were before
them. Respectfully,
+. r. Dawley.
