DENIAL OF SOME OF
 ADMIRAL SIMS STATEMENTS

Washington, March 2s.-The cen troversy started by Rear Admiral Sims criticism of the navy depart ment's conduct of its war activities was broadened tonight by the entry of the war department to deny some of the admirafs. statements reEard- ing the land forces.
 General Tasker H. Bliss, American representative in the supreme war council. not only denied categoricztiy that he had recommended the brigad- Ing of United States troops with for eign armies, as testified by Admiral Sims. but testified the truth Is en- actly the reverse"
 General Bliss made his denial in letter 10 Secretary Baker, who tranu- mttted 1t. together with a copy of the original order assigning General Per- shing to command the forces over seas. to Secretary Daniels and he fin turn sent both on to Chairman Hale Of the senate naval subcommittee, ak the same time making all the correB- pondence public.
 The only times that I ever cane In contact with Admiral Sims in Eu- rope" said General Bliss. were whiie was in London with the American mission (the. so-cailed House mis- sion) between the sth and 22nd of ! November, 1917. During that entire time the idea of brigading or anal gamating American troops with for eign armies had not, as far as I know, entered the head of anyone. , nor did ever make such a suggex- uon, much less a recommendation" General Bliss said he told the su- preme council that such a thing sa | permanent amalgamation of Amefi- | can units with the British or French | would be -intolerable to American | sentiment" which led the presiding ! officer, Mir. Clemenceau, to declare that this point was settled" and nothing was heard thereafter on ths subject.
