DANIELS IS WRATHY OVER FORGED CABLE
Did Not Sign Message
Givin g Opinion on
Convoy Of Z. S.
Troop Ships Days
Testimony of Secre-
tary of Navy Contin-
uatiOn of Slams at
Sims

Washington, May Is - Secretary
Daniels told the Senate naval inves-
tigating committee today that he had
not signed a cablegram bearing what
purported TO be his signature which
was among those read TO the commit
tee by Rear Admiral Sims when the
investigation began. The original of
the message. Mr.. Daniels said. did not
show his signature and he added that
MS name had been forged TO the copy
presented by Admiral Sims.
Mr.. Daniels declared Admiral Sims
in his statement had stressed the
words signed Daniels in comment
ing on the message and had said that
its purport had made him feel like
jumping overheard
The Cables Contents
The cablegram concluded with the
sentence: In regard to conveys.
consider that American vessels having
armed guard are safer when sailing
independently
The original of the cable was found
at the British embassy through which
il was transmitted and was signed
A F Carter, by direction Of the chief
Of naval operations" Mr.. Daniels told
the committee. presenting photostatic
copies Of the original dispatch. He
added that he had never had the
opinion SET forth and knew as soon
as Admiral Sims read the message 10
the committee that ne mad not signed
il.
Some where. some body was guilty
u signing my name 10 an official dis
patch which the original here pro-
duced. shows I never signed said
Mr. Daniels, or of altering a dis
patch by erasing the real signature
and substituting Daniels. 1 know
that if my name appeared on such Il
telegram It would be because some
body had forged my name to it,
admiral Sims owed both the coun-
Try and himself an apology for the
Impression conveyed by testimony
based upon 4 false signature Mr..
Daniels said, and should produce the
person who altered the signature
Much 81 Secretarv Daniels testi-
nony today was devoted TO Admiral
Sims criticisms ON the departments
troop convoy methods. The admiral
Mr., Daniels declared. persisted in re-
garding cargo ships as more vital
70 the allied cause than troop ships
and took the attitude that the former
should be protected. if necessary AT
the cost Of transports. This attitude
caused the department. much anx-
iety'' he added. and finally resulted
in blunt adnonit!or1 that the protec-
ton OF troop ships was the nayy's
first mission.
Mr.. Daniels told the committee he
did not know that Admiral Sims held
such view until the officer testified
recently before court of inquiry or
he would have recalled the admiral
from London.

the reports that the first American
convoy was attacked by submarines

Citizen, as was done yesterday eve

is endeavoring to foist back into po-
wer one of the most thoroughly or
ganized rings with which any mu-
nieipality was ever afflicted.
And, like the feeble organ of the
ring in Nogales, the Citizen parades a
letter written to the state highway
engineer, some years ago, asking dis
charge of one Ernest Walker, for
shortcomings that merited his dis
charge.
Why was he finally discharged by
Engineer l. P. Frazier?
