staff Correspondent of the International
News Service.
WASHINGTON, May 11-President
Wilson was not satisfied with the manner
in which Great Britain was conducting
naval warfare when the United States en-
tered the world war.
This fact was brought out by Secretary
of the Navy Daniels today before the SEN
ate committee investigating the charges
made by Rear Admiral Sims against the
conduct of the war by the navy depart
ment.
For the first time the speech of the
president to the officers of the Atlantic
fleet at Yorktown, Va, in the summer or
1917 was made public, when Secretary
Daniels read it to the committee today.
The president complained that the
British were adhering to tradition in
conducting naval operations.
HORNETS HUNTED
AND NEST NEGLECTED.
Speaking of the campaign against the
submarine. the president declared, I'VE
are hunting hornets all over the farm
and letting the nest alone
None Of us knows how to 90 to the
nest and smash it, and yet | despair OF
hunting for hornets all over the sea,
when l know where the nest Is and /
know the nest Is breeding hornets as
fast as 7 can dnd them.
Every time we have suggested any
thing 10 the British admiralty the reply
has come back which virtually amounts
to this that 1t has never been done In
that way and felt like saying;
Well, nothing was ever done os
systematically as nothing is being done
now Daniels continued to quote the
president
Therefore I should like TO see some
thing unusual happen, something that
never was done before.
There is no other way to win.
u am willing for my part and I know
you are willing for I know the STUFF
you are made Of. I am willing TO sacri-
flee half Of the navy, Great Britain, and
we together have to crush that nest,
