SIMS AGAIN
Back to Break Daniels
Defense Navy

Tells Senate Naval Committee Testi-
| mony of Other Witnesses Reveal
| Condition in Navy Even More
| Distressing Than He Imagined
Washington, May 27-Rear Admir-
al Sims today began efforts to scut-
tie Secretary Daniels defense of the
navy departments conduct of the
war
| Testifying in rebuttal before the
Senate naval investigating commit
tee the. admiral declared that navy
department witnesses had revealed
! conditions in the navy even more
| distressing than l could have imag-
! ined." He added that. these witnesses
/ had presented "a much more severe
| criticism of the deplorable conditions
referred TO than l myself have sub
mitted"
/ Bold and Audaciouss Policy Absent
Admiral Sims declared that what
| Secretary Daniels had described as
| President Wilson's bold and auda-
! cious" policy for the navy was com
mendable. but the navy department
/ instead of following the presidential
plan as promulgated to the officers
and men Of the Atlantic fleet in Au-
/ gust. 1917. followed a "timid and
heSitating course.
! The officer characterized the Pres
ident's advocacy of operations by the
I allied naval forces TO bottle up the
! German submarines in their home
! ports as ''impracticable" in view of
certain technical difficulties with
/ which. he said, the President was
unfamiliar
The sacrifice OF half the combined
/ British and American fleets" he add
ed, " would not have been too great
price to pay if it would have sup
pressed the submarine and ended the
war. The attempt would, of course,
have been unwise if. in the opinion
OF responsible naval experts, it would
certainly have failed"
/ Referring to President Wilson's
, cablegram to him on July 4, 1917.
asking for independent recommen-
dations" and expressing the belief
that the British admiralty was help
less almost to the point of panic" the
admiral said he regarded the MESA ge
/ as confidential and not so much a
| criticism of the admiralty as an err
| preston of dissatisfaction with the
| manner in which the navy depart
ment was conducting the war. He
! said he was surprised that the sec
rotary had made it public
| Secretary Daniels prosecution by
the committee, Admiral Sims assert
ed, was remarkable alike for its
mistakes and misinterpretations and
for its unrestrained assaults upon
my services during the war" He
added that some mistakes were to be
expected in Mr.. Daniels testimony
because ii was impossible for any
cilivian to testify at SO great length
| regarding highly technical subjects.
but it was hardly to be expected that
the responsible head of the navy
should make under oath a statement
based on errors Of facts and mis,n-
terpretations of naval matters"
He will continue his rebuttal to-
morrow and Chairman Hale said the
investigation probably would be
closed Saturday.

Many Gardiner and Randolph
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Douglass H.
Corley will be pleased. through the
medium of the following letter TO
learn of their present location. Dur
ing his studies at Bates college, Mr..
Corley served as pastor of the Ran
dolph Methodist church.
American College, Beirut. Syria.
April -, 1920.
Last July. on receiving 2 degree Of
Doctor of Theology from Harvard
University. l accepted the appoint
ment here as lecturer in English
Bible and Ethics. for a term of three
years and came here with Mrs. Cor
ley and my daughter Marion. Syria
is a fascinating country and has a
genial climate. The position. OF the
college is unrivalled, since it is To-
Gated upon a headland close to the
Mediterranean Sea. across which 1t
looks directly at the right toward the
snow-capped heights of the Lebanon
range, kinisi and Sannin. From the
windows which face the uorth we see
the arrival and departure of all ships
coming to and leaving the oprt of
Beirut.
Arabic is the language Of the ma
jority of our students, but all classes
except language courses other than
English, are conducted in English.
Beside preparatory and college de-
partments. we have a large medical
department comprising courses in
pharmacy. dentistry and medicine,
besides a training school for nurses.
In the city itself, French can be used
in the stores and public places, SO
that there is no need Of Arabic, even
though some knowledge CT it is con-
venient. Our college needs a large
corps of American instructors, and
should be glad to see some Bates men
join our staff. The pay for single
men is $500 per year and transporta-
ton to and from the United States
on a three year engagement, with
liberal allowances. Owing to the rate
of exchange favoring US, This is much
better pay here than it would be in
the States, and. as board is included.
the instructors are better able to
travel in vacations than those who,
like the professors, keep house.

Cordially yours.

Eliminates Cave
 To Get Picture in
 Male and Female

Some idea Of the attention paid to details by Cecil B. De Mile in his production of the Paramount-Artcraft picture Male and Female" which will be the attraction at the Central theatre Friday and Saturday and at the Eagle theatre Sunday and Mon day. may be gained from a photo graphic feat which he accomplished during the filming. Those who are familiar with Sir, James NJ. Barrie's famous play. "The Admirable Crich- ton," from which the new De Mile production was adopted, will recall that several of the most exciting scenes take place in 8 cave on trop- ical island In order to secure natu.
 al sunlight for shooting" these epi. 3odes, Mir. De Mile devised an intri- cate system of mammoth mirrors, by which the rays of the sun were re-
 1ected into the dark recesses of the
 ave. Despite the lavish scale upon which the picture was screened, the
 rimitable Barrie humor and his whimsical touches are apparent throughout. Thomas Meighan has the esding role, and other prominent players in the cast are Gloria Swan ,on, Lila Lee. Theodore Roberts 3ebe Daniels, Raymond Hatton, and Guy Oliver.
