Inquiry to Continue.

Washington.-Charges Of Rear Ad-
miral Sims that the Navy department
failed to cooperate fully with the Al
lies during the great war will be in
vestigated by the Senate subcommittee
before which they we're made THIS
was decided by the full naval commit
tee which also authorized appointment
Of another subcommittee to determine
whether there should be an inquiry
into charges made by John r. Rathom,
editor of the Providence (R. ID Jour
nal, that with the knowledge OF Sec
rotary Daniels. many seamen in the
navy have been used for most vile and
nameless practices in order to entrap
innocent men,"
While the Senate committee was in
session Secretary Daniels announced
that Admiral Sims would be called on
to make good his charges either BE-
fore the Senate or a naval board.
Present inquiry to Continue.
Inquiry into Admiral Sims charges
will not be started by the Senate sub
committee until its present investiga-
ton Of naval decorations is completed,
which probably will be within 10 days.
That investigation was continued with
Admiral Sims concluding his testi-

The full naval committee met in
executive session. Senator Pittman,
Democrat Of Nevada, sought to have
the entire committee conduct the in.
quiry into Admiral Sims allegations,
but Senator Lodge, Republican, Mas
sachusetts, objected on the ground that
the committee was too busy with other
pressing matters. Senator Pittman
then sought to have special sub-com-
mittee appointed. but his motion was
defeated.
Declaring that when all the facts
we're laid bare the country would be
proud of the navy's record in the war,
MIR. Daniels said Admiral Sims must
be required to establish every criti.
cism he has made of the department. -
When the smoke blows away" the
secretary continued, II am confident
that the people will see that the naval
administration has been efficient"
