ADMIRAL HAS NO RECOMMENDATIONS
 AS I | REMEDIES
Says Responsibility for Con- duct of War Can Only Be Placed After Full In-
 vestigatiOn
By Associated rr..s

Washington, March 1S.-Responsibility for conditions which prompted Rear Ad- miral Sims to indict the navy depart ment's conduct of the war can be de- termined only on full investigation of his charges, the officer declared today before the senate Investigating commit tee, concluding his direct testimony. For that reason, he said, he had no well founded" recommendations as to remedies to make. Until further inves- tigation disclosed whether the errors and mistakes he has charged were due to faulty organization or of inefficient per sonne1. he added, he would not attempt to formulate remedial proposals
 Cross-examinaton of Admiral Sims was postponed until Monday, on request of Senators Pittman and Trammel, demo- cratic members of the committee. Sem ator Pittman is a member of the foreign relations commimttee and has not been able to attend many of the sessions Of tlle Investigating committee during Ad. miral Sims direct statement. The sen- ator said he had requested the postpone ment that he might have time to read Admiral sims testimony, preparatory to a cross-examination of the officer.
 ''.Io pofnt out yfOlatiODS or Weif-khoWn and generally accepted principles of war fare such as have been shown by my tes- timony is in itself to suggest the rem edy. which is. obviously, to avoid such violations in the future said Admiral Sims in closing his statement
 Previously he had summarized in thir- teen specific counts the charges he had made against the navy department and emphasized strongly his reiterated asser- ton that he did not desire that any of his testimony be understood as charg- ing responsibility for the conditions he criticised to any individual. The investi- gation had not proceeded far enough, he sad, and his own knowledge of condi- tions in the department during the war was too limited to warrant any such ac cusations, he declared.
 Capt. Horace Lanning. now commander of the destroyer force of the Atlantic fleet and assistant chief of naval operations. and acting chief of the bureau of navi- gation during the war, has been called by the commmittee to testify folling the cross-examination of Admiral Sims. It was expected he would take the stand next Wednesday,

REPORTS CONFLICT

There are conflicting reports con- cerning amnesty for the rebels, and this matter promises stormy scenes in the coming meeting of the assembly, as the popular feeling in Berlin now favors severe punishment for Kapp and his adherents.
 The French charge d'affaires called on Vice Chancellor Schiller and Under Secretary von Haniel today and com- plimented them and their government upon the happy and rapid solution of the crisis. He expressed the opinion that it would undoubtedly contribute toward strengthening liberal and democratic thought hl Germany.
 No great improvement in the eco- homie situation is to be observed as yet The railroad men have resumed work but the organized workers gen. erally are dissatisfied and are continu- ing the strike
 They demand the disarmament of the troops and the inclusion in the gov ernment of more radical clements.
