Commander Bagley Finds
Sims Charges Inter 4
fere With Duties.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Com-
mander David Worth Bagley, BROTH
eT-in-law Of Secretary Daniels, has
cabied to the navy department. -e-
questing that his name be consld-
cred only for such decoration as
was conferred upon all captains OF
destroyers serving in the war zone.
Commander Bagley, whose ship.
the Jacob Jones. was torpedoed and
sunk during the war, was recon-
mended for navy cross by the war
decorations board. but Secretary
Daniels awarded him the dis
tinguished service medal, along
with the captains of other naval
ships destroyed by enemy subma-
rines.
Up to knight Board. *
Secretary Daniels said today that
the message would be referred di-
rectly to the knight board, now
reconsidering the whole question Of
naval awards, for such action as
the board might see fit.
Commander Bagley, who is serv-
ing as naval attache at The Hague,
recently cabled the department that
European newspapers had publish
ed statements that Rear Admiral
Sims had charged that Commander
Bagley received his distinguished
service medal because Of the favor
itism of Secretary Daniels and that
widespread publication of the re-
port had made the continuation Of
the discharge of his duties as naval
attache extremely difficult and en-
barrassing. He requested the de-
partment to obtain q denial from
Admiral Sims and to make an ef-
fort to gain widespread publicity
for it.
Admiral Sims has written an
other letter to Mr.. Daniels headed
Some Thought About Lessons of
the World War" the secretary said
today, adding that he had not read
all Of it, but indicating that it dealt
with the general question of naval
morale and efficiency and was
controversial in tone.
Mr.. Daniels said that if it was
found that the letter contained
nothing which should not be made
public, he would give it out. to-
gether with his reply. Admit al
Sims commanded American naval
forces overseas during the war AMI
is now head of the naval war COL
lege at Newport.
