Admiral Wilson Criticises Man
agement of Naval Forces
In Europe

Washington. April 1-Nicc Admiral
Sims employment Of American des-
troyer forces in European waters dur
ing the first year OF this country's par
tlcipation in the war was severel.;
criticised today by Admiral Henry &.
Wilson, commander of the Atlantic
fleet, in testimony before the naval
board investigating Rear Admiral
William 8. Fletchcr's removal from
the Brest command by Admiral Sims
Basing of all destroyers used in con-
Voylng American troops and supply
transports into French ports OIL
Queenstown instead of Brcst up to the
spring Of 1918. admiral Wilson de-
clared. meant that the destroyers
worked only ore way" and wasted
mileage" in the long trip back tC
Queenstown for refueling. If original
" based on Brest, he declared, these
deStroyerS could have worked both
ways conveying transports out as
well as into the French ports, and
thus made to render the-r maximum
service. as was demonstrated some
this plan was permitted.
Disagreeing with the testimony Of
Capt Byron c. Long, Sims aide for
operations at London, who said Ad-
lniral Fletcher's request that destroy
ers be based on Brest was denied be-
cause Of lack Of oiling facilities there,
Admiral Wilson declared that at the
time he succeeded Fletcher facilities
at Brest were adequate for quite a
large force
Admiral Wilson declared the five
converted yachts which it was tcst:-
fed had been the only force aVaiiab!c
ffor outward convoy Of transports, dur
ing Admiral F'letcher's command at
2rest were worthless fer that ser-
vice.
Capt n. C. Twining, counsel for Adj
miral Sims, questioned the witnesses
.'ccmpentency' to pass judgment upon
the adequacy Of Admiral Fletchers'
forces when you were not acquainted
in detail With what he he'd to do with
it.
"1 need no details" replied Admiral
Wilson" I know that he had to es-
cort troop ships to sea, and that he
had only worthless force to do 1t
with There is no question under
heaven about his forces having been
inadequate because l had to suffer uh-
der the same thing for months
Testimony that he took three stall
officers and a considerable Office force
With him to Brest. Admiral Wilson de-
clarcd that he found practically
nothing to work with" IL the Erest or

Home Demonstration Work.

Miss Truluck. county demonstrator,
has arranged with Mr.. Horres, Of the
Palace Meat Market, to have the next
meeting Of the Sumter Home Demon
-sstezation club held at Mr.. Horre's
Market. the Palace, on Friday the
9th, at o'cock
Anyone who would like to see how
the meat is cut and hear talk on
the cheaper cuts is asked to come. The
high cost of living is a very vital sub
ject, and il there are a few Of US so
lifted above the problems Of life as
not to care whether meat. as we'll as
other things, may be bought reason
ably, they should, at least, snlpathize
with less fortunate persons. The con-
tention has been that if enough Of the
less expensive cuts were bought the
butchers would not have to ask such
high prices, but with prosperity has
come a terrible wastefulness. and
number of people buy very best cuts.
when they can make just as good and
nutritious dishes with cheaper fore
quarter meat The government has
asked the women to try the cheaper
cuts. At no expense and very little
trouble to the women who attend,
this opportunity is offered. No one
should be backward in trying to neip
bring down prices. This meeting IS
open to all women who care TO learn
another lesson in thrift. Tomorrow
