HOOVER WILL NOT
CRITICIZE NAVY
Refuses to Be Brought Into
Daniels-Sims Naval
Controversy
ADMITS ALLIES WERE
NEAR DEFEAT IN 1917
Had Only a Few Weeks of Food Sup
plies - If Submarine Blockade Had
Succeeded War Would Have Ended
at Almost any Moment.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Hcrbcrt
G. Hoover declined to be drawn into the
Daniels Sims naval controversy before
the senate naval affairs subcommittee
at the request of Rear Admiral Sims.
Mr.. Hoover fatty refused to offer any
opinion as to whether the navy depart
ment could have thrown a greater force
against the German submarines operat
ing around the British Isles, dismissing
questions on this point by saying he
knew nothing about naval matters.
He would not even agree to the con
tcntion of Admiral Sims that the war
would have been shortened by
prompter suppression of the Uboat
campaign. One of Admiral Sims 5 main
contentious has been that the war was
prolonged at least four months by fail
ure of the navy department to. give him
more anti-submarine craft early in the
war
Mr.. Hoover did. however, support the
statements of Admiral Sims regarding
the critical food situation of the allies
in the spring and summer of 1917, and
declared that the war would have come
to an end almost in moment had
supplies been cut off completely.
Later on he qualified this somewhat
| by stating that the allies never reached
| the final stage of privation and that it
was impossible to predict how much
more suffering they could have stood.
He said he believed that our entry
/ to the war turned the scales for the al
lies at this iuncture, but that it was in
/ correct to say that America won the
war
" Owing to the intensity of the sub
/ marine warfare the allies had been a
great deal embarrassed over the food
/ question, and Twas sent abroad in the
/ spring Of 1917 to confer with the Brit
| ISL, French and Italian governments. -
| Mr.. Hoover said.
Sinkings had then reached the maxi
mum of 100000 to 100000 tons a
month and the food situation in those
/ three countries was most critical
| They had not TO exceed three or fom
weeks reserve stock of breadstuffs. Al
that rate of sinking, the war had q
debatable end, although new resources
might have been discovered, such a,
withdrawal of shipping from other
routes.'

agriculture, believes there should be active
continuation of present federal and state
cooperation in connecting state road sy-
stems of adjoining states in order that
the working out Of an adequate highway

also advocates the continuance of work

road law.
AS 1921 is the last year covered by the

highly desirable, in my opinion, for con
gress to make provision as promptly as
possible for the continuation of the worL
under the present system by an appro
priation of at least 500, 100000 for eact
of the fiscal years beginning with 1922.

Cherish and protect the lowly bum
blebee, for he is very useful agent
and an important adjunct to our agri-
culture, says the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture. The helpful mis-
sion of the bumblebee is to distribute
the pollen of the clover, thus fertiliz.
ing the field and making it possible
for the farmer to produce clover seed
for the following years planting. The
loud buzzing, hairy little fellow spends
most of his time in the clover field
and without his activities our clover
seed would be reduced to minimum
crop. The bumble-bee is generally re-
garded, and particularly in the cities
and towns, as being a non-producer
and meance to the peace of the conf
munity, but in fact, he is just as IT.
