against the navy department by sec
retary Of the Navy Daniels maue tne
statement that the trouble with
the British admiralty is that their
plans and methods do not seem to US
efficacious"
From the beginning I have been
greatly surprised at the failure OF the
British admiralty to use Great Brit
aims great naval superiority in an
effective way" the president declared.
In the presence of the presr-e SUD-
marine emergency they are helpless
10 the point Of panic
Every plan we suggest they reject
fer some reason of prudence. In my
view this is not time for prudence
but for boldness even at the cost Of
great losses"
Daniels continued to quote the pres
idents cable.
In most OF your cables you have
quite properly advised US OF the sort
aid and cooperation desired from US
by the admiralty. The trouble is their
plans and methods do not seem TO
US efficaciouS. I would be very much
obliged 70 you II you would report to

what the admiralty has been doing
and what they have accomplished and
add to the report your own comment
and suggestions, based upon the in
dependent thought OF the whole situa-
tion. without regard to the judgment
Of any one on that side OF the water
The admiralty was very slow to
adopt the plan of convoy and ii is not
now. 1 Judge, placing conveys on ade-
quate scale within the danger zone,
seeming to keep small craft with the
great feet The absence of craft for
convoy is even more apparent on the
French coast than on the English and

STATE VS. PALMER UP.
Was Taken Into Vermont Supreme
Court from Barre Court.

Supreme court did not adjourn on
Wednesday afternoon, as il was eX-
pected to do. because of the fact that
while reviewing the docket during the
afternoon it was found there had been
one case left, the Washington county
case OF State vs.. Brisbane Palmer
found guilty in Barre city court OF,
non support Of his family.
There was considerable conversation
about this case in the first part Of the
term. bat the court did not allow the
case to be dropped from the docket
and last evening attorneys were mott
fed that the court would listen to ar
guments this morning.
The arguments were completed in the
Carolina Bianchi mandamus proceed
ings case. Ii was advocated by one
side that the case was still in county
court and that there was no guardian,
therefore. the judge Of probate court
could not order any person to make a
report. while on the other side IL was
claimed that guardian did exist and
that he should account for any funds
that might have g9ne into his hands.
There are some interesting probate
law questions involved in the matter
