THE S|MS-DAN|ELS
TROUBLES CONTINUE
REGARDED AS DETRIMENTAL TO
FIGHTING SPIRIT OF NAVY

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 10.-Ad-
miraf William Sims today accused
Secretary Daniels of pursuing a "de-
featish" policy. This policy, Sims de-
clared, is more detrimental to the
fighting spirit of the navy than the
worse form of bolshevism is to organ
ize government.
Sims, who resumed his testimony
today before the Senate subcommit-
tee investigating medal awards, de-
clared he is willing to make any per-
sonal sacrifice to prevent such a pol
icy getting permanent hold on the
navy. Senator Carter Glass, Vir-
ginia: Congressman Byrnes, South
Carolina, and Whealey, South Caro-
lima, all Democrats, were asked to
testify before the committee this
afternoon regarding statements Sims
is charged with having made to them
while they were visiting Europe dur
ing the war.

do believe in party organization to
support great ideals and to carry
great issues and constant policies.
Nor can any man dictate the issues OF

the hope of great majority of our
citizens in confronting this new peri
cd of American lifs ia that the great
parties will take positive stands on
the many issues that confront us and
will select men whose character and
associations will guarantee their
pledges.
II am being urged by people in
both parties to declare my allegiance
to either one or the other. Those
who know me, know that I am able
to make up my mine when a subject

until it more definitely appears what
the party managers stand for, l must

EXPECT GERMAN
DECISION SOON
QUESTION OF CALLING NATIONAL
ASSEMBLY TO CONSIDER AN
SWER TO BE SETTLED.

Berlin, Feb. 10.-Decision as to
whether the German national assem-
bly, will be called to consider Ger
many's answer to the Allied demand
for the extradition of Germans ac-
cused of violations of the laws of war
is expected soon. The cabinet met
yesterday and considered the list of
men whose surrender is desired and
the Allied covering note, but moth
ing was made public as to the con-
clusion reached.
The Allied powers demand access
to archives and possessions of all Ger
man documentary evidence, so that
prosecution may be facilitated. The
covering note is understood to declare
the Allies do not propose to grant
amnesty to men not named in the list
but will reserve the right to prosecute
them should they be apprehended on
entente soil.
1t seemed improbable that a reply
to the entente demand for the sur
render of the Germans whose names
are contained in the list will be sent
until response is received by the
German government to its note OF
January Is. (In this note, Germany
asked the Allies to renounce the ex-
ecution Of the xetradition article OF
the peace treaty, the alternative pro.
posed being q trial Of the persons In

ANY PARTY
HERBERT HOOVER WILL WAIT
AND SEE WHAT EACH SIDE
STANDS FOR.

New York, Feb. 1O.-Herbert
Hoover has issued a statement defin-
ing his attitude toward the presi-
dency. He announced that he is not
candidate for the nomination and
that no one is authorized to speak for
him politically. If the league of ma
tions is made an issue in the election
he says, he will vote for the party
that stands for the league. In re-
sponse to requests that he declare al
legiance to either one or the other of
the great political parties, Mr.. Hoover
says he will wait until it more defi-
nitely appears what the party man
ayers stand for and "will exercise a
prerogative of American citizenship
and decline to pledge my vote blind
fold The statement follows:

"As an American citizen by birth

deeply interested in the present cri-
tical situation. My sincere and only
desire is that one or both of the great
political parties will approach the vi

to the welfare of our people, and that
candidates capable of carrying out
this work should be nominated.

"Think of allowing q character of
apparent refinement TO use such Ian
guage," he said. doesn't it lend itself
to criticism? I daresay there are
many many other instances that are
Just as glaring."
He believes the author of screen
stories and scenarios should be beside
the director, If 1t is possible. in the
screening of his work and also that the
author should at least be consulted
concerning titles. He believes the
author, as a matter of fact. should be
responsible for the titles accompanying
his story.
There must be a general toning
down of the expressions of different
characters IN plays. 1t is not neces-

If the hero does his work properly he

the coming of an entirely new art. And
when we consider that this man has

going into the motion picture industry
with the earnestness which is evident
when one speaks with him concerning
his plans for the future.
