She recoiled as though he had struck

SIMS STILL TALKING
 Al. NAVAL INQUIRY
Is CroSS-Examined by Senators
 Pittman and Trammell

Washington, March 23.-Cross ex- animation of Rear Admiral Sims was continued today before the senate committee investigatinf the naVys conduct of the war with Senators Pittman, Nevada, and Trammell of Florida, democrats undertaking to show that the United States was not wholly responsible for heavy subn1a- rine loss during the two months inn mediately following the entry of the United States into the war.
 Admiral Sims said adoption of the convoy system marked the turning point of the war and that the Allies had to wait for American co-opera- ton before the plan could be made ef- fectiVe.
 The convoy was adopted by the Allies experimental about May 21, 1917," he said. The United States was asked to furnish If cruisers for es- corts. No cruisers were furnished for many weeks and then only seven. Our delay was extremely costly.
 Our destroyers and other ships should have sailed the night we de- clared war and there was no good req son why they should not have done so. If they had, 2,5O0,000 tons of ship ping would have been saved and the United States would have had an army of 1 1,000, 900 men in France by May ], 1918. The fact was that after we de- clared war many American ships and to be placed in dry dock and repaired before they could be sent to the war zone"
 Senator Pittnan told the admiral he had not presented any evidence to suppor his assertion that failure of the navy to cooperate properly during the war had prolonged the struggle at 8 cost of 50O,0O0 lives.
 Unless you can produce evidence to support that assertion it falls flat" said the senator. T notify you 11era and now that at the proper time evil dence will be introduced to show that the army did not ask for ocean trans port that it did not get
 If you do you will have to disprove Gen. Pershing's own report in which he said that he could not get troops to France when he wanted tfem,'' re- torted the admiral. 'I think I have proved that the full cooperation of the navy early in the war would have reduced the sinking of merchant ships, thus provided tonnage to take American troops abroad, and thus ended the war sooner and saved 509,- 900 lives and great treasure'' replied the officer.
 There never was 8 time when ships were not provided to carry to France any Am erican soldiers who were prop ely trained and ready to go," replied Senator Pittman.

Berlin, March 23.-The Prussian government has ordered disciplinary process, with immediate suspension from office. against August Winning, president of East Prussia, and three otber officials of the Koenigsbers be taken against President Paulo and one. other official of the province of Schleswig.
 Military authorities are blamed by the government press bureau for re- cent disorders. it being asserted that they and the troops were so nervous that they had lost their morale.
 FFSoIdiers were so nervous over bol- the bureau "that wherever they saw four or five persons approa ching them in a group they would jump at the start trouble.''
 Assertion is made there is no in dication of a reorgan nized Red army .asN it is said the government is doing itsN utmost to reassure the Berlin public. Owing to non-political strikes of printers. employees of tram roa ds and the subway and others, which prevent the issuance of newspapers and withdraw traffic facilities. the people have been given tn suppression the. general strike is not broken. It isexplained the printers and trans portation strikes were called before the revolt of March l , and that the present situation in this respect has nothing to do with that growing out oflthe abortive revolution.
