But "AIIieS Knew We Knew"
America Did Not Win War,
Declares Admiral.

Washington, Feb. 10.-(A. PD-
Rear Admiral William 5. Sims de-
MED today before the senate commit
tee investigating naval awards that
in conversations with Representative
Byrnes, democrat. of South Carolina,
and other members of congress- he
had sought 20 bclittle Americas ef-
forts in the war.
The admiral said Mr.. Byrnes
must either have misunderstood me
or confused the remarks made to him
by the many people he talked TO in
Europe" lie added that he did at
tempt to correct the idea In the
minds of American visitors that the
United states forces were winning
the war; because this attitude was
hurting us with our allies"
They knew It was not true and
they knew we knew IT was not true"
Admiral Sims declared.
y am surprised that / should be
quoted as saying that the merchant
marine should be left to Great Brit
ain and the United states should
not develop merchant marine" he
continued, because / never held any
opinion on that subject"

Truman H. Newberry was told on the
witnes stand today by George r.

Mems Relief association, and editor
of its official organ, the Relief
Signal.
Murray, a gaunt old giant who
hobbled to the witness stand aided
by a cane, told the jury that Paul
II. King. manager of the Newberry
campaign, and Charles A. Floyd, as
sistant manager, came to him in the
spring of 1918 and solicited his aid.
He received a check for $500, he said
with. which he paid his way about the
state visiting railroad men in behalf
of Newberry. He also told of re-
ceiving $400 for advertising" in his
paper.
Il don't know whether you would
call them advertisements or not" he
said; they were run as reading
matter"
Herbert J. Rushton, Escanaba at
torney, testified that at the urging Of
one of the Newberry workers, he
came out for the state senate in the
Thirtieth senatorial district. 81 was
then told that i must support New
berry. l told them nothing doing

Newberry organization, Murray said
Murray said he wrote an article for
the magazine indorsing Newberry, pub
lished it and received from Grand
Rapids and order for 10000 extra copies
of the magazine.
On cross-eXamination he told Martin
w, Littleton the $l00 received by the
magazine was in payment for these
extra copies.
The defense introduced copies of the
magazine containing the article Muir
ray wrote and an open letter by him.
Mr.. Littleton read the article to the
jury. 1t was typical campaign docu-
ment. 1t lauded the Americanism of
the Newberry family with Truman II.
Newberry a commander in the navys
his SON. Barnes Newberry. in the navy
as an ensign, and his wife a vice-presl-
dent of a national organization OF
women headed by Mrs, Theodore Roose-
Welt no mention was lneae OF Henry
Ford.
On redirect examination Mr.. Daley
brought out that the paid advertising
which was carried in the regular issue
of the magazine was omitted from the
20. 200 copies sold to the Newberry COM
mittee.
The witness said he never met New
berry and got data for the article from
a. farm paper in Floyd's office. Mr..
Dsiley then read this sentence: "On the
call of President Wilson. Commander
Newberry has control of the great
Third naval district containing the
Brooklyn navy yard"
Did you not know this statement
was untrue?" asked Mr.. Daley. Oh
jections limited the answer and Murray
said he had every reason to believe it
was true. He said he got it from the
farm paper.

:" would certainly love to believe
that there was such good fortune in

has served with Mr.. Hoover in the
food administration and who has for
fifteen years been his intimate friend

Such men as Reed and Lodge and
their views would never be tolerated

Lucey's opinion Is that at the proper

business men will get together and
impress upon the people the absolute
necessity of a man like Herbert Hoo

the caliher that will back Hoover get

Capt Lucey, when asked by n

an interview concerning his good
