The cable offered by Admiral Sims
related to the convoy system and

that 1t bore his name and Offered the
original copy which, Daniels said
bore tie name of A. F. Carter of

Daniels said that he had never
sent such clblegram and added
tht someone had forged his name
Daniels objected to the sentence in
the dispatch stating consider Amer

declared the secretary But even
then, Admiral Sims said it had not
been definitely decided on by the
war council. though the daring and
successful attack on zeebrugge came
much lter. 1t might have been a
very different story if it had been
undertaken earlier when the navy
department was urging some such
