Pacific Admiral Says
Navy Was Never So Fit
for War as in 1917; He
Helped Make Plans.

Washington, April 7.-Testifying at
his own request before the senate COM
mittee investigating the Sims-Daniels
row, Admiral Rodman, commander-in
chief Of the Pacific fleet, took direct
issue with Admiral Sims charges and
criticisms.
Admiral Rodman denied categorically
the charge that the navy entered the
war without plans or policies; that it
was unprepared to fight, or that it was
mistake to attempt to direct naval op-
erations from Washington. The admiral
said he appeared through sense of
duty and to defend the good name Of
the navy" the work of which in the
war, he praised.
Admiral Rodman declared that never
in his more than 40 years of service had
the fleet been in better state of pre-
paredness than in the spring of 1917.
Some types of vessels were lacking, he
conceded, notably battla cruisers and
scout cruisers, but, generally speaking
the navy was ready to fight
Without any attempt to avoid per-
sonalitics. Admiral Rodman character
lied as very indiscreet,' the Sims let
ter to Secretary Daniels, which brought
the present investigation, and declared
that Sims committed breech Of con-
fidence in making public IAN intimate
and confidential conversation, which
Should have been held sacred
He was referring to Sims statement
that Admiral Benson had told him just
before leaving for London, not to 'let
the British pull the wool over your
eyes,
War Not Won In London.
The charge that the navy entered the
war without plans or we'll defined poll
cies. was not correct, Admiral Rodman
testified, adding that experience on the
general board had given him opportun-
ity to help prepare such plans, antici-
pating the probable advent of the Unit
ed States into the war These plans
later were modified to meet existing
he said.
The charge that the navy department
should not have attempted to conduct
operations from a point 5000 miles
from the war zone, was denied by Ad-
miral Rodman, who declared that the
war was not fought and won in Lon
dom and that the only place for the
direction and administration Of the
nayy's policy was in Washington.
The admiral added that he thought
there had been an evident effort to dis
credit the navy and his impression was
that Admiral Sims sought to give the
impression that he had most of the re-
sponsibility for running the war and
that the navy department fell down on
the job" because it did not follow his
advice.
