Lasker Resigns
 Chess Title to Jose Capablanca
By Associated Press

Amsterdam, June 26.-The decision of Dr. Emanuel Lasker to yield his title of worlds champion chess player to Jose k. Capablanca, the Cuban expert, instead of playing a match they had arranged, was made known in a letter he wrote Capa- blanca
 Dr. Lasker in his letter, said:
 From various facts I must infer that the chess world does not like the con- ditions of our agreement. ] cannot play the match knowing that it's rules are widely unpopular. l, therefore resign the title of worlds champion in your favor. You have earned your title, not by the formality of a challenge, but by your brilliant mastery. In your future career l wish you much success"
 Writing to the Telegraaf, pr. Lasker says he would have preferred to lose his title in a keen fight with Capablanca, thus finishing his career logically.
 London, June 26.--In commenting to- day upon pr. Laskers resignation of the chess championship, the chess expert ot the London Times recalls the negotiat- tions of eight years ago which ended with Dr. Laskers refusal to meet Capablanca, and the adverse comment on Dr. Lasker $ action The renewal of the negotiations early in 1920 led to agreement between the players to meet next year. with pr. Jlasker to receive 60 per cent of the purse whatever the result, and also to have the privilege of deciding where the match should occur. The writer criticises Dr. Lasker for his position in this connection and quotes Capablanca as saying when he last played in London that he was willing to accept any reasonable condi- tions, as he was most anxious to settle the championship question finally by playing Dr. Lasker.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-Charges Of
Rear Admiral Sims that the Navy De-
partment failed to cooperate fully with
the allies during the war will be inves-
tigated by the Senate subcommittee
before which they were made.
This was decided by the full naval

Secretary. Daniels announced Ad-
miral Sims would be called on to make
good his charges either before the
Senate or a naval board.
Inquiry into Admiral Sims charges
will not be started by the Senate sub
committee until its present investiga-
tfon of naval decorations Is completed,
which probably will be in ten days.
That investigation was continued to-
day with Admiral Sims concluding his
testimony.
Mr.. Rathom alleged there was a d.

nocent men" and that as the result of
the practices" resorted to, "the NOR

he said, he was more familiar with the
allegations.

Sims charges, Mr.. Daniels declared
1.-THE matter has gone SO far that un-
less the charges are proven to the en-
tire satisfaction Of the people an in
quiry will be made by the naval
board"
He emphasized tha. Admiral Sims
was not commander-in-chief of the
American naval forces overseas, and
that he was subordinate to Admiral
Mayo, as commander of the Atlantic
fleet and to Admiral Benson, chief of
naval operations. He said Admiral
