Secretary Daniels testified that he
had known that in October 1918
Sims had made statements rejecting
upon the contribution of the United
States army and navy to winning the
war to members of Congress visiting
abroad, he would never have recon-
mended his promotion.
"He had not then attacked the
Irish people," Secretary Daniels tes-
titled. 81 thought then he had only
defended American sailors, a proper
thing to do, when attacked unjustly
by what he termed lawless element
in Cork. If | had known he propos-
ed under the permission granted him
to tell the story of what the navy had
done overseas to denounce the Irish
people as he did in his articles in the
World Work, the permission would

man injured in public esteem by his

secretary continued.
"The evidence has had only one

deep regret at the necessity of with
drawing approval from Admiral Sims

disapproval. The navy and its SER

dreadnought Oklahoma was ordered
today to proceed from New York to
Kew West, Fla, for possible duty in
Mexican waters. The ship will stop
at Philadelphia to take an a full
company of marines at The League Is

rive there tonight.
With Mexico City, Vera Cruz and
Tampco in the hands of the revolu-
tionists American destroyers were en-
route today to Mexican waters to
await eventualities and to afford pro
tectino to American lives in the
MeXican gulf ports.
Official confirmation of the fall of
the Mexican capitol was received yes
terday by the State Department from
the American embassy which report
ed there was no disorder icindent to
the transfer of authority.
Tampico and Vera Cruz also were
reported quiet. The embassy's re-
port made no mention of President
Carranza and from Vera Cruz it was
said search in that city had failed
to find him. One report was that he
had been arrested in Esparanza,
State of Vera Cruz, but this was
without confirmation.
