 USE IF DESTROYERS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. April 5.-Vice- Admiral Sims employment of Amerl- can destroyer forces in European wa ters during the first year of this coun- trys participation in the war was se- verely criticised today by Admiral Henry P. Wilson. commander of the Atlantic fleet. in testimony before the navy board Investigating Rear Adm1 . ral William E. F'letchers removal from the Brest command by Admiral Sims
 Easing of all destroyers used in con- voying American troops and supply transports into French ports on Queenstown instead of Brest up to the spring of 1918. Admiral Wilson de- elared. meant that the destroyers worked only one way" and wasted mileage in a long trip back to Queens town for refueling. If originally based on Brest. he declared. these destroyers could have worked both ways con- voying transports out as well as into the French ports and thus be made to render their maximum service, as was demons trated some eight months later, he added, when this plan was per- nitted.
 Disagreeing with the testimony of Captain Gyron c. Long, Sims aide for operations in London. who said Ad- mirai Fletcher's request that destroy CTS be based on Brest was denied be- cause of a lack of oiling facilities there. Admiral Wilson declared that at the time he succeeded Fletcher facilities at Brest were adequate for quite a large force
 Admiral Wilson dciared the five con verted yachts which it was testified had been the only force available for outward convoy of transports during Admiral F1etcher's command at Brest, were "worthless for that service

 vLADIVOSTOK, Anrh 5.-Japanese troops today occupied Vladivostok after eight hours of severe fighting in all parts of the city.
 The Japanese imperial flag is flying in the place of the Russian ensign from all government buildings.
 Some of the officials of the revo- lutionary contingent already have been arrested and deported. All Rus sians have been disarmed.
 Throughout last night the Japanese fought with rifles, machine guns, grenades and small artillery in all DOT tions of the city. Their incessant fir ing met little opposition, as the Rus sians were taken by surprise, the Japanese moves toward occupation having been unexpected by the party in power.
 Many Russians escaped into the bill country behind the city, whence they had come two months ago, when the all Russian government of Admiral Kolchak fell before the attacks of a revolutionary party.
 Early today the Japanese launched their attack in the Korean quarter which they occupied. Later they marched Korean and Russian prison CTS, tied together with ropes, through many of the streets of the city.
 The last of the American expedition ary forces under Brigadier General William s. Graves left Vladivostok April l. A few hours subsequent to their departure a proclamation was posted through the city stating that Japanese troops would not evacuate Siberia at the present time. The proc lamation. warned all inhabitants against any unfriendly attitude on the part of the Russian population. The tenseness of the situation here has increased hourly since the clash today

France Explains ReprisaIs

PARIS, April 5.-(By the Associated Press)-The attitude of the French government in the present German crisis is defined and explained in a note issued tonight. After reiterating that the government has no hostile de signs toward Germany, desiring on the contrary the resumption of normal re- lations with that country and express ing realization of the difficult situation or the Berlin government, the note de clares the German government has given way to pressure by the militar- 1St party mot. fearing to infringe the imperative and most solemn stipula- tions of the Versailles treaty.
 The note continues: The sequence of facts follow:
 The first request for permission for the entry of extra troops into the Ruhr district was made just after the insur- gent movement by military authorities on March 15. It was renewed from Berlin on March r. in the name of the legitimate government by von Hanielo; who has remained in Berlin With the consent, at least implied. of the Insurgent government.
 Revolt Shows Treaty Was Unheeded.
 All information from the allied missions, and again. the day before yesterday, from the high commission CTS in Coblenz, does not cease to show that German military intervention is uncalled for by the situation. and it would be attended with the gravest dangers from the point of view of se- curity both for the population and the men in the field. g
 The note then points out that if the German government had carried out the disarmament clause of the treaty there would have never been the Kapp instruction nor the red army in the Ruhr district and remarks that articles 42 and A are such an indispensable safeguard that article one of the Franco Anglo American convention de- fines as cacus foederis those dispo- sitions insufficient to assure the pro- lection of Europe. It concludes:
 The situation created by the
 abrupt offensive of the German
 troops in the Ruhr obliees the
 French scovernn1ent today to con
 slider military measures, the exc
 cution of which cannot be de-
 ferred. The sole object of these
 measures is to bring Germany to
 due respect Of the treaty and they
 are exclusively of a coersiVe and
 precautionary character"

 IN CR|MEAN REGION
Republican A. P. Leased WireJ

THEODOSIA, Crimea, March 31.- (Via Constantinople.)- .)-With the com ing of the army of General Denikine. the anti -bolshevist leader in south Russia, and the allied fleets, this little suddenly has become the pivotal point in the Crimea in which the anti-bol- : sheviki troops will make their last stand against the reds.
 The population in this part of the Crimea has been increased from 25,000 to 6O,5O0. Many persons are living in freight cars or in small boats an chored in the harbor. There is much sickness here, the hospitals being filled with persons suffering with typhus. The disease has been propagated by an influx of infected persons, the med ical corps being entirely insufficient to maintain a quarantine.
 Theodosia has become the base of both the volunteer army and the allied fleets Denikine's forces hope to hold the armies and maintain . connection between the Crimea and the Russian mainland. Supplies of various sorts, especially food, are short and conse- quently the situation is likely to be- come critical unless shipments are re- ceived from across the Black sea-
 Foreign military forces who have watched the evacuation of Novorossisk and other places in the south are not optimistic about the defense of the Crimea because they assert the mo- rale of the volunteer troops is low and there is no general disposition to make a vigorous defensive campaign.
 However, the natural defenses in this region are extremely effective and the red army has been so shattered by the typhuS that the volunteers may hold their ground regardless of the demoralization that exists.
