DANIELS DECLARES
SIMS WAS FAILURE
SAYS HE BOWED TO THE BRITISH
AND THREW MUD AT THE
U. S. NAVY.
SHOWED LACK OF VISION
Secretary Testifies That Admiral Gov
eted British Honors and Believed
All Anti-5ritish Who Enter
tained Different Ideas.

Washington.-Jose Daniels, Sec
rotary of the navy, testifying before
the Senate committee, replied directly
to the charges of Rear Admiral Sims,
and was unsparing in his arrangement
of the officer.
His first broadside was directed al
most exclusively at Admiral Sims,
who did not measure up to expecta'
lions in certain ways" and who COW
eted British honors, aspired to become
q member of the British admiralty,
lOnged for the glitter" Of foreign dec
orations, appeared to accept the views
of the British admiralty as above those
of his own Navy Department and vio-
lated sacred confidence of superior
officer Sin a way l did not believe
possible"
Admiral Sims, the secretary says,
erected a towering structure OF ex-
aggeration and Misrepresentation" In
his criticism of the navy, which was
"scandalously unwarranted" and which
the American people will never for
give" But the navy stands with
out trace of the mud with which he
sought to bespatter it," Secretary Dan
iels said.
He declared that Admiral Sims
"genuflected" before the British ad-
miralty, and thst although he knew
the admiral stopped over" in his
Guidhall speech in 1910, he did not
know until later that these British
leanings amounted to an "obsession."
Sims, Secretary Daniels told the
committee, did not measure up to ex-
pectations in various ways, of which
he mentioned six, as follows:
"He lacked vision to see that a
great and new project to bar the sub
marines from their hunting rounds
should be promptly adopted and car
ried out, no matter what the cost or
how radical the departure from what
ultra-prudent men regarded as i'm
practicable.
"He seemed to accept the views OF
the British admiralty as superior to
anything that would come from
America, and urged those views even
when the Navy Department proposed
plans that proved more effective.
"In public speeches and other ways
he gave a maximum of credit to Brit
ish efforts and minimized what his
country was doing.
'He coveted British decorations and
seemd to place a higher value on
honors given abroad than on honors
that could be conferred by the Ameri'
can government.
HE aspired to become member OF
the British admiralty and wrote COM
plainingly when the American gov
eminent declined to permit him to
accept such tender by the king OF
England.
"He placed protection of merchant
shipping as the main operation of our
forces abroad, falling to appreciate
that the protection of transports car
rying troops to France was the para
mount naval duty until felt i'm
PEELED to cable him preemptorily that
such was our main mission"

M ET us THERE

DeBdu tuiS Spiin6 uuucT TIE Woist Gull
ditions experienced in some years. The
winter cold prolonged we'll into March,
with the ground frozen beyond pene-
tration by plough and disk, restrained
the eai ly spring work of soil prepare
ton in the northern portion of the
country, while almost continuous rains
drenched the southern states, keeping
the planter out Of the fields. The slow
drifting away of the chill winter was
followed by very slow rising tempera-
lures, generally below the seasonable
average, the rain area spread to the
Eastern and Central states, and fur
Their set back the needd farm work.
The planting of oats and spring wheat
was uniformly two to for weeks late,
and corn on the average three weeks
late over the whole country. Cotton
went in late, and into chill, wet soil,
and average month late throughout
the belt.
Decreased acreage was the natural
consequence of the late paintings and
seedlings. The acreage Of spring wheat
felo If 3.S51,OO0; winter wheat was
reduced by the dry late fall and the
winter kill 14,7OO,O0O acres, making a
loss of 1S,5O0,OOO acres, or 22 per cent.
in the main breadstuff supply of the
country. To this loss was added 1900
600 acres less in oats The late season
prevented the farmer from making up
the loss in wheat and oats by an in
crease in corn--the last planted of the
important crops, the gain being only
100000 acres. Curiously, in the cot
ton states, the acreage of that staple
was increased 100000 to the loss OF
food and feed acreage, the high prices
being relatively higher in cotton.
Despite the shortage of 1S,500,00
acres in the food and feed crops the
prospect is for larger total yield Of
the harvest fields than last season
| There will be decline in the tota
wheat yield, the area lost being too
great to overcome through the increas
ed yield. The feed stuffs, oats ant
corn. will be abundant compared will
last season. The former is still in thu
making, while oats are safely made
and largely harvested. The miracle
WORKING weather completely reversed
the poor outlook at the start of tn,
growing season, and under the stimu
lation of cool weather the plants fruit
ed better than in the seasons whel
warm springs were succeeded by burn
ing June and July days. The seasol
has been somewhat identical to tina
prevailing in western Europe, wher
yields are always higher than in thi
country. The total volume of food an
feed, including potatoes, which ar
measured by the bushel, indicated b
our reports for this season is 6,O37
100000, which is 235,0O000O bushel
more than the final harvest las season
On an acreage eight per cent. less
four per cent. more product will b
secured. The average yield is II pc
cent. better, and equal to the hig
averages of the past.
