REAR ADMIRAL SIMS AND THE
NAVY DEPARTMENT..

Astounded as public opinion must be
by the revelations Of Rear Admiral Sims
upon the want Of preparedness for i'm
minent hostilities and the subsequent
faulty technical and strategic conduct OF
the war, these defects were no surprises
to naval officers whose duties permitted
a close at-hand estimate and whose eX-
perience enacted sound judgments to be
passed upon the qualifications and fitness
of the Navy Department for the enor'
nous responsibilities with which 1t was
charged. But neither knowledge OF the
inner workings nor public acceptance OF
association with the sorely beset Allies
could have prepared either for one ex-
traordinary assertion Of Admiral Sims.
He states that on the eve of his departure
for conference with the British govern
ment on a matter of intense national con-
Germ he received in Washington the ex-
pIicit admonition, Don't let the British
pull the wool over your eyes. It is none
of our business pulling their chestnuts out
of the fire. We would as soon fight the
British as the Germans" This warning
author as vet unrevealed, was delivered
late in March, 1917; on April ? Congress
was summoned in extraordinary session
and on April war was declared.
From the very beginning of the war In
Europe many officers of the navy and
few newspapers saw with alarm that the
Navy Department, despite exuhcrant talk.
seemed to possess no real understanding Of
the situation, but any expression OF their
fears was withheld out of loyalty that
was unlimited But reckless of the acute
ness of the situation in the months pre-
ceding our entrance into hostilities, ade-
quate preparations were not undertaken
and when German depredations made i'm
possible further shrinkings from the con-
flict, it was evident that Secretary Dan
iels had failed practically to grasp the
seriousness Of the enemy submarine cam
paign. In this and apparently in other
directions his information must have been
incomplete or inaccurate, for his policy
was uniformed if not chaotic.
At the Senate Committees inquiry into
the distribution Of the war medals, Ad-
ullTdl SlInS CuauScu HIS COuISc lIOm Iilc
immediate subject and threw his bomb
into the proceedings. In a memorandum
entitled Certain Naval Lessons of the
Great War;" lie described the lack of sup
port and encouragement he had received
from home; the inadequate cooperation
at most critical season which he had
been able to furnish our war associates
and he rchearsed with an insistency that
seems justifiable the neglect of his recon-
mendations and his petitions for help.
The effect Of this explosion must surely
invite an investigation which at the mo-
ment puts the whole matter sub JUDGE
and it would therefore be unfair to COM
ment further upon conditions that are
humiliating to the country until Mr.. Dan
iels is afforded the opportunity to reply
In justice to everybody concerned the in
vestigation should be prompt and thorough

Golden autumn days tinged with red and
haze,
The red of wounds, the mist of tears,
And through them all the sunliShts radi-
ant rays
OF victory dispensing fears,
Bearing the joys of life with peace-and
then
Discord and strife, the selfish aims OF
men
To mar it all, at what a cost!
Lost, those precious fading hours, lost:
Winter days Of silver and sombre grays.
Long yhours for work and for repair.
Homecomings, festive boards with logs
abaze-
Perhaps here is a vacant chair.
Then idleness and envy sowing seeds
OF discomfort which every sluggard
breeds;
The fires die out mid chill and frost,
The months have flown. the time is lost.
