BADGER DENIES
NAVY WAS UNFIT
Rear Admiral Refutes Unpre.
paredness Charges Made to
Senate Committee.

Charges that ;ae navy was'not pre-
pared for war in 1917 were "em-
phatically denied" today by Rear Ad-
miral Badger, member OF the naval
general board, before the Senate
committee investigating the conduct
of the war by the Navy Department.
Admiral Badger was chairman OF
the executive committee of the gen.
eraI board during the war and ap-
peared to answer charges made Rear
Admiral Sims before the committee.
'I emphatically deny the charges OF
unpreparedness to enter the war; alb
sence of war plans or policies; vacii-
lating and hand-to-mouth policies and
plans after the war was declared, re-
sulting in extending the duration of
the war and increasing war losses and
lives Badger said.
Badger read orders OF the general
board early in 1917, contemplating
the probable entrance OF the United
States into tho war.

FAIL TO AGREE ON
PEACE RESOLUTION
Foreign Relations Committee Takes
No Action-Knox Measure
Has Support.
by J. BART CAMPBELL,
international News Service.

The Senate Foreign Relations Corn
mittee again failed today TO reacn
any agreement on the peace resoiu-
ton passed by the House last week.
Some Republican members urged
the Senate be recommended to act on
the Knox. peace resolution now on the
Senate calendar instead OF on the
House measure. They contended the
Knox measure was adequate to meet
the demand in many quarters for the
re-estabIishment of peace and OF
trade relations between the United
States and Germany.
II was also suggested the entire
question of Congress enacting peace
legislation be threshed out at n con-
ference between Republican leaders
of the Senate and House.
Senator McCumber, Republican. OF
North Dakota, n member OF the com
mittee, asked that the peace resolu-
tion be introduced in the Senate yes
terday be reported favorably to the
senate in lieu of the House measure.
The committee finally adjourned,
after a protracted discussion in exec
utive session without reaching any
decision.

SIMMS REGRETTED HE
HAD TO GUST FLETCHER
Atlantic Fleet Commander Says His
Action Was Prompted BY Sub
ordinate's Lack of Initiative.

Admiral Simms greatly regretted
removing Admiral Fletcher from his
command at Brest, according to his
testimony today at the naval court of
inquiry. He stated that after receive
ing the report of Commander Daniels,
his liasson officer, whom he sent to
Brest to investigate conditions, he
felt that he was mo longer justified
in intrusting vessels to the care of
Admiral Fletcher"
Admiral Simms declared that his
reasons for removing Fletcher were
based on information that Fletcher
had failed to grasp the primary ideas
OF his mission; that he failed to use
the vessels at his command to the
best advantage in carrying out his
mission. and that he failed to adopt
any system for indoctrinating the Of
ficer personnel of his command with
the spirit of his mission.
Fletcher. according to Simms, lack
cd initiative and gave too much OF
his time to details. Even though ad-
mitting that Fletcher's work was
good and faithful, Simms said that he
was bound to use his own Judgment
as Commander-in-chie in retaining
or displacing officers under him.

The wooden vessels OF the ,shipping
Board were described a. war products

the opinion was expressed that they

tainable. Secretary Payne, former

that now they can be used to ad-
vantage only in the coastwise trade,

tentatively submitted to the confer
ence by Admiral Benson. The prices

ing from 5000 pc. deadweight ton on

UNCLE SAM'S MAN
SHOWED CARMEN
Why They Should Not Act
Too Hastily In Calling
Strike.

Mr.. and Mrs. Washington retired
last night soith forebodings. on
lamps stood on the table ready for
use. Early this morning the nsun
of the house crept out Of bed, pat on
has slippers and tried the lights.
Going to the soindow, he heard the
street car r1n.bling along.
Something had taken place during
tho night at Waters Hall, 719 Sirth
street. Here's the story:
The hands of the clock pointed to
l12. There were 100 men present
Others came and went. In one corner
of the dingy hall a small group Of
important appearing young men ire
porters, to be sure) had gathered.
They discussed the chances of remain
ing within a secret conclave OF q
labor council. ...
Everyone present seemed to be a
bit happy at the thoughts of a strike
in the morning. There was no doubt
in any one of the 100 minds but that
the strike would be called.
One hour later, at l a. m, the first
100 had been swelled by another 100.
All officers were present. but f. A.
Jones, international vice president of
the car men, who looked for all the
world like a small town deacon, had
not yet raped for order. There was
much talk of strike. The smoke-laden
atmosphere of the hall reeked with 1t.
Pass Time Mt Cards
At three tables men were playing
at cards. In the basement below mel
also passed the time in games. knof<
ing that in a few more hours they
would be free to return to their homes
and sleep all day. That they would
be of for many days was the opinion
of all.
Another hour passed. At 2:Q5 a. m,
the deacon-lil<e Jones raped for
order. The morning paper reporters
made a rush for the lone telephone.
The doorkeeper took his position at
the only door. Then there was
silence. The same kind OF silence that
many Of those boys had experienced
in a muddy ditch IN Flanders. The
putting of cigars and cigarettes was
the only sound.
The vice president made a few re
marks. He then read many pages OF
n lengthy stenographic copy OF what
had transpired at meeting or the
unions committee and company ofn-
ciaIs. Finally the men tired OF ths
reading and voted TO dispense with u
so they could get down to business
and vote on a strike. Feeling against
the company's attitude ran high.
Something Happens
But n few minutes before the meet
ing was called to order, and while the
several hundred men exchanged
smokes and lights and passed tips
on the "one best" at Bowie, something
happened. outside the meeting place
a short, well-knit man OF say hfty
with his coat collar high above his
ears and a neat little derby hat cover
Ing his white head, held the interest
Of half dozen labor leaders.
