A counter charge that establishment
of the North sea mine barraxe was de-
layed sin months because of the oppo-
sition OF Rear Admiral Sims and the
British admiralty. was made before the
senate naval Investigating committee
today by Secretary Daniels in present ing
the second part OF his reply TO the OFF,
GERS charge that the Navy Department
had unnecessarily prolonged the war
through failure to cooperate fully at
first with allied naval forces
The barrage. Mr.. Daniels added. was
the most effective measure that could
have been taken to check the Subma-
rine and was wholly an American idea.
had attempted in his testimony to rob
the Navy of credit for this project and
to give it to the British.
Plan Conceive Here.
The plan was conceived. he said. in
the bureau OF ordnance at the Navy De-
Partment and urged on the British ad
inlraiS for six months before it was
accepted. During this time Admiral
SIMS constantly discouraged and opposed

admiral Sims attempted to rob
America and the United States Navy
of ne credit for Initiating this great
achievement and to give YOU the i'm
preston that It was a British plan
which our Navy merely assisted in

fore we could induce the British ad-
mlralty to approve it. and although
four-fifths of it was composed of
American mines designed and con-

American vessels. Mr.. Daniels told
the committee.
Close COmradeship Existed.
The Secretary said close comrade-
ship had existed between the Amer
lean and British navies during the
war. despite Admiral Sims attempts
to create the Impression that there
was lack of harmony and co-opera-
ton.
Admiral Sims charges OF unpre-
paredness before the war were not
justified. Secretary Daniels asserted,
declaring that in July. 1915. he or
dered the general board to study and
recommend plans for consistent and
progressive development" AS a result
of this study the policy was evolved
he said. that the United States must
by 1928 have a Navy equal to any
other in the world. He approved this
policy. and direct result was the Ave
year building program Of 1916. the
naval Secretary said. an epoch max
ing measure" President Wilson fully
approved the policy. the witness as

This is conclusive evidence that
the Navy Department long before war
was declared was alive to the i'm
porfance of preparedness. and was
taking every step toward that end"
