Secretary Of Navy Characterizes Sims
Charges as Fallacious and Baseless;
Vessel Tonnage Always Was Available

Washington. May 14.-Rear Admir-.
al Sims "fallacious and baseless"
charges that the navy department
delay prolonged the war four months
unnecessarily was practically the only
charge Of unfavorable results from
the many alleged sins of omission and
commission" the officer had ascribed
to the department, Secretary Daniels
today told the senate naval investigat.
ing committee. 1t was fully refuted,
he added by the admiral's own testi-
mony.
"The charge of the prolongation
of the war was a definite and serious
one" said the secretary. at was
made with reckless disregard Of the
facts and the reasoning and statistics
adduced in its support are those
which one might expect to find in
the fantastic tales Of Baron Mum
chausen."
Admiral Sims based his estimate of
an unnecessary loss OF 100000 lives
or an average loss for the allies of
three thousand men q day, Mr.. Dan.
iels said.
THE loss of 1900 men a day for
four months falls short of half a
million, but Of course half million
sounds more impressive than the
figure which would have been arrived
lt by correct arithmetic" the secre.
tary declared.
The admiral based the charge on
assumption that had there been a
million American soldiers in France
by March. 1918, the war would have
ended four months sooner, Mr.. Dan.
els said and completed the reasoning |
~ assuming the tonnage losses OF
1917 prevented carrying that number
If troops overseas by that date and
hat failure Of the American navy to
heartily in the first months
,f the war, resulted in the heavy |
onnagc losses.
ut Is not necessary to wander far
nto the realm OF statistics or tech
lical questions TO show the absolute
alacy of Admiral Sims claim" Mr..
Daniels said. "IIe informed the com.
nitiee that the net tonnage available
or the allies May l. 1917, was 81.
100000 tons. 1t Is matter OF com.
non knowledge that on May /. 1918.
he tonnage was less than on May |,
9l7. Testimony given by Admiral
inns would indicate that the net loss
uring the year was about two mil
on tons. This Is probably suffi-
iently close estimate for practical
urposes Now then, owing to the
losses OF 1917. and the early

from 27,O00,OOO in May l. 1917. 10
25.oO0,0Oo on May ], 1918. Yet it
is admitted by Admiral Sims that in
the spring of 1918, American troops
were transported to France at the
rate Of nearly 100000 a month or
more than ten times the rate to
which he said transportation had
been restricted in 1917, because OF
the construction of tonnage. This
simple fact refutes absolutely Admir-
al Sims statement that the tonnage
losses Of 1917, made it impossible
to transport any considerable Ameri.
can army" and made it necessary
to limit the number of American
troops that could be sent abroad dur
ing the first year to an average of
approximately $4,000 men per month"
There never was a time, the wit
ness said, when tonnage was not
available TO carry troops and supplies
to France as fast as they could be
landed and transported to the front,
although it was "only by extreme
exertions that this was done during
the rush Of troops in April"
ALLEGATION of ships to the United
States by the allies was always the
dominant factor. Mr.. Daniels de-
clared.
AS a matter Of fact, the American
army materially shortened the war,
said Secretary Daniels. at got to
the front as soon as it was humanly
possible, not by chance but as n re.
suit of careful plans revolving in
complete cooperation between the
army and navy carefully carried
out"
Mr.. Daniels quoted Field Marshal
Haig as saying that the British arm
les were unable to intervene until
nearly two years had elapsed in suf-
ficient strength adequately to assist !
the allies. The war was over 10
after the United States en-
tered, he said. adding mo man can
deny that within Is months after
our entry the American army was in
sufficient strength adequately to as
sist the allies"
In this connection he asked the
to consider that American
troops and supplies had to be trans
ported across 1900 miles Of sea while
Great Britain was within sound of
the guns"
Mr.. Daniels quoted from the testi.
mony of the Admirals Rodman and
Wilson, Rear Admirals Niblack. Nc
kean, Straus and Padget and Cap.
tain Pratt to show that all Of these
officers refused to support Admiral
Sims charge of prolongation Of the
