Staff Inadequacy Abroad
 Held Up Maximum Efficiency

Washington, March 17-Nearing the end of his long statement to the Senate Investigating Committee, Rear Admiral Sims today elaborated his charges that the inadequacy of his staff abroad prevented for several months maximum efficiency in the United States naval participation in the war. He testified that he was unable to bring the navy department to a realization of the importance of his post and the necessity for provid- ing a. large staff at the outset to com pile and digest allied naval informa- tion, and direct the early details of American co-operation on the seas.
 Admiral Sims said he arrived in London in April, 1917, with but one aid and immediately realizing the magnitude of the task confronting him, cabIed the department request ing that three additional assistants be sent him at once. Before he re- ceived any reply, he was placed also in command of the destroyer force abroad and thereupon asked for three more officers including a chief of staff, expecting that the request would be granted without question
  rived and was assigned to the de- stroyer base at Queenstown, Admiral Sims said, but no word came from the department regarding his re- iterated request for at least six as- sistants Throughout June he re. mained in ignorance of the depart ment's plans and received no furth CT aid, the officer said. An American civilian who had resigned from the navy in 1914 to enter in business in London volunteered to assist him, the Admiral said, and this man with his one aide comprised his entire London staff.
 My staff then was wholly made quate even to code and decode rnes- sages to and from the department ' he commented, much less attempt to compile vitally necessary informa- tion.''
 In June a medical officer was or dered to his staff, the Admiral said and about the same time Secretary Daniels cabIed him authority to en- ploy clerical assistance and spend any sums needed for the discharge of his duties but nothing was done regarding the officers he had asked sent to as sist him in his technical duties. In repeated messages, Admira Sims said he urgently recommended that 8 special officer be detailed tt the British admiralty to co-ordinatt convoy plans but never received al answer.
 Finally he detached the cap+H = from a. destroyer and assigned hin to this duty.
