INQUIRE INTO
NAVY DEPARTMENT
Admiral Sims Makes Some Startling
Disclosures To Senate Com.
mittee

Washington, Jan. 17.-Rear Admir-
al w. S. Sims ted the senate COM
mittee investigating naval awards to-
day that when he was ordered to
England in March, 1917, just before
the United States entered the war,
he was instructed by the navy de-
partment mot to let the British pull
the wool over your eyes," and that
I'VE would just as soon fight the Brit
ish as the Germans"
The admiral also charged that Am
erican naval headquarters in London
did not receive cooperation from the
navy department and that the depart
ment did not arrive at any decided
plan of action until 10 months after
he arrived in London He added thai
1T was 10 months before we really
ed On their recommendations"
Admiral Sims testimony was in the
form of a letter to Secretary Joseph
us Daniels. entitled, Some naval
lessons of the great war" which MI.
Daniels received several days age.
The letter criticised the department.
for attempting to administer the de-
tails of action by the American naval
forces overseas and alleged the de-
partment demanded that it be permit
TED to pass fully on all plans, even
those regarding action against the
enemy.
Sims disclosure created a sensa
ton in the crowded room.
when ! was ordered to go to Lon
don in 1917" the admiral said, 81 was
told, Don't let the British pull the
wool over your eyes; we don't want
to pull their chestnuts out of the fire.
Remember that we would as Dor
fight the British as the Germans"
Admiral Sims did not disclose who
save him these instructions, but left
the impression that they were from
some one in authority in Washington.
When Admiral Sims finished read
ing the letter, Chairman Hale an
nounced that the full naval commit
tee would be asked either to empow-
er the present subcommittee to in
vestigate Admiral Sims charges of
lack of cooperation Or to appoint
a separate subcommittee to conduct
the inquiry.
Characterizing the alleged altitude
of the department as "a terrible
thing" Senator Medill Mccormick
(rcp.), Illinois, said:
81 believe we will have to go to the
naval affairs committee or the senate
for further instructions and authority
to investigate this entire matter of
the attitude of the navy department
toward Admiral Sims mission"
After the hearing adjourned, Ad-
miral Sims said that his parting in
structions had been given "by a per-
son in the navy department" but that
he could not be more specific until
members of the committee asked him
the question officially" The commit
tee adjourned until Monday.
