WORK IN WAR.
Speaks to Graduating Class
At Navy War College
- Today. !. s

Newport, r. L.. May 22.-Rear@ Ad-
miral William S. Sims, president of
the naval war college, in his address
at the graduation OF this years class
today, said that barring a very few
cases ''our navy personnel not only
responded to all requirements. but ex-
ceeded our most sanguine. expecta-
tions in the endurance. zeal and loyal
initiative they displayed" in the
world war.
This applies, he added, mot only
TO the forces in the war zone, but to
the way in general, and particularly
to the very intelligent and skillful
handling of the transport services
in effective co-o3eration with the
forces abroad" y
He urged the members of the class
to explain to the officers under their
command the great Influence they
upon the civil population in wartime.
This is matter" he said " which
concerns the peoples confidence or
lack Of confidence in their military
leaders. Much Of this influence is
cxerted through the unofficial opin-
ions expressed by officers to their civ
ilian acquaintances, and by the re-
Election of these opinions in the
press.
THAT these opinions had a mark ed
influence upon the conduct of the
late war, there can be no doubt. nor
can there be any doubt that this in
fluence was detrimental"
Admiral Sims said that during the
war he received many letters of
criticism from leading members Of
the government" naval officers and
civilians.
without exception he said, they
showed ignorance of the conditions
governing the naval campaign
"One regrettable result of the err
[ roneous information circulated. he
! said. was the paying of many mil
i lions of insurance against loss at sea.
!; BON bardments of coast cities and
! even bombing Of inland cities"
