By Associated Pres,

Washington, April 5.-Vice Admiral Sims employment of American destroyer forces in European waters during the first year of this country's participation in the war was severely criticised today by Admiral Henry B. Wilson. commander of the Atlantic fleet, in testimony before the naval board Investigating Rear Ad- miral William B. Fletchers 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 Queens town instead of Brest up to the spring ot 1918, Admiral Wilson declared, meant that the destroyers worked only one way" and wasted mileage" in the long trip back to Queenstown for refueling. II originally based on Brest he declared, these destroyers could have worked both ways conveying transports out as well as into the French ports, and thus made to render their maximum service, as was demonstrated some eight months later he added, when this plan was permitted
 Disagreeing with the testimony of Capt. Byron C. Long Sims aide for operations at London, who said Admiral Fletcher g request that destroyers be based on Bres' was denied because of a lack of oiline facilities, Admiral Wilson declared thai at the time he succeeded Fletcher facili- ties at Brest were adequate for 'quitt a large force

.BRE AK IN STRIKE SOON, PREDICTED Union Switchmen Reach
 Chicago to Take Place of Insurgents
By A,s.clssss Pres

Chicago. April 5.--A break in the strike of several thousand "insurgent switchmen in the Chicago switching district was predicted tonight by A. f, Whitney, vice president of the Brother hood of Railway Trainren, who saiu several hundred union switchmen rom many points in the middle west arrived today to take the places of the strik- CTS. and that others would arrive to- morrow. The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. with which the railroads affected have working agreements, has declared the strike illegal and is co operating with railroad officers in ef- forts to bring about a resumption or work.
 Officials of the Chicago Yardmen's Association, who engineered the walk out, claimed that 5000 switchmen and yardmen employed on eighteen rail- roads were on strike today. but rail- road officers placed the number out as approximately 2.500, and while admit ting that freight service was operative on a 25 per cent basis. attributed the reduction largely to yesterdays snow storm. The strikers are demanding $l an hour for foremen on yard and transfer engines. 95 cents an hour for yard helpers. s day for switch ten- ders, 95 cents an hour for switchmen's s helpers. and time and a half for over time. Sundays and legal holidays. At present the wage scale for switchmen in Chicago is 66ss cents an hour and helpers receive 63 cents an hour.
