SIMS PROMISES ID
 PRESENT EVIDENCE
 ID SUPPORT CHARGE
Criticism Directed at Poli- cies and Not an Attack on Part Played By Navy
 In the War
By A,.eoi.,,s Pre-.

Washington, March 9-Eear Admiral Sims, in an opening statement today be- fore the Senate committes investigate
 ing his charges that the navy depsrt- ment failed to cooperate fully with the
 allies during the war, outlined the spe- cific points on which he bases his crit
 icisms and promised that beginning to-
 morrow he would present evidence in
 support of each contention. In opening his testimony, Admiral Sims denied intention of initiating an attack on the part the navy played in the war or of belittling it's efforts, in- asmuch as he was unable adequately to express" his admiration of the navy's efforts His criticisms, he said, were directed at the policies pursued in the first six months of the war. The admiral told the committee he was not directing his criticisms at in- dividuals and reiterated that in calling attention to what he considered failure of the navy department to give the allies full cooperation at first he had ''nothing to gain and everything to lose"
 Instead only high sense of his duty as naval officer and solicitude for the future naval policy of the country he
 said, impelled him to point out grave mistakes in naval administrations BASIC CRITICISMS Basic criticisms of the navys policies were said by the admiral to be- That during the carly period of the war The department violated fundsmen- tai principles of warfare leading to 3 prolopgaton of hostilities and needless loss of lives and money That the policies of tho department in the last half of the war were identi- cal with recommendations rejected dur | ing the first six months. | That if the department had proper plans when the nation entered the war they should have been placed in effect | at once.
 That mistakes, If any were made. should be carefully reviewed to avoid
 future recurrence and to help mould

REDOUDLE
 EFFORT, BUT HOPE
 OF AGREEMENT DIM
Article Ten Is Made Unfin- ished Business of Senate. Republicans Offer Sub
 stitute Reservation
By As.selst.d Pres

Washington, March 9.-Article 10, moy
 than ever the dominating issue in sS peace treaty fight. became the unfir 70
 business of the Senate today, VI o co
 publican and democratic sens Ao want the treaty ratified work ef z re-
 doubled effort. but with hope for compromise. n
 Several of the republican ~ders, con- vinced that ratification would be tinpos- sible with their Article 10 reservation of last November unchanged, agreed on a substitute and made an active campaign to line up the necessary democratic votes behind it. But they did not succeed,
 and although the compromrse negotiations will continue as the question is debated
 on the Senate floor, no one had much
 hope tonight of an agreement.
 The new republican reservation follows the general outline of the one adopted in November. but it puts into different ajid more specific form it's declaration regard ing the articles obligations.
 Some of the democrats were satisfied with it, but twenty-esgnt was the peak of democratic votes which it's republican advocates claimed for 1t in any eventual ity. and it would take at least thirty. and probably thirty-four, to make ratifica- tioE possible.
 It was indicated President Wilson's new letter on the subject, although 1t failed to stop the compromise negotia- tons. had not been without effect in stiS- fening the administration ranks aganst anything like the old republican res e6vation. Democratic senators were in disbursement over what the President would do in the event of compromise ratification. and many of them declared their inclination to let the doubt rescNe itself in favor of a conservative course. THOROUGHLY DISCOURAGED So discouraged were the republican iead- CTS that they had not decided tonight whether their substitute reservation would be offered at all in the Senate They indicated, however. they wouiG not long delay action on the article in ole interest of compromise, and that the de- bate to begin tomorrow propaoiy would last only a few days.
 The way to consideration of the subject on the Senate floor was cleared just be- fore adjournment by readoption in mod lined form of the reservation on votng power in the league. As it finally pre- vailed the reservation, the last except that relating to Article 10. on the repuo- llican programme declares that until rle covenant is amended so as to give eauaf voting power. the United Stases de- clines to be bound by decisions to which Congress has not previously given con sent.
 Vote on readoption of the reservation was 57 to % with r democrats. or mere than supported 1t in Novemcer' voting for it.
