Before Committee
on Sims Affair

Washington. Feb. To- Evidence
OF the Pro- British lcanings OF Ad-
miral William s. Sims, while he was
commander Of the American naval
forces abroad, was given to the senate
investigating committee today by
, three members Of congress, who re-
peated conversations they had with
the admiral in Paris in October. 1915
The two most damaging bits of evil
dence brought forward against Sims
by the congressman were.
L. That he told them the United
States was forced 10 accept tine ar
mistice because the service of supply
of the army had fallen down. and
General Pershing could not get the
supplies necessary TO conduct strong
offensive in the Argonne sector.
2. That he declared the United
/, States should not attempt TO build aF
a merchant marine. hut should allow
this TO he carried on entirely by the
British.
s The testimony as to the atterance
of these statements was given by
Senator Glass. Of Virginia. and Repre-
sentatives ByEncs and Whaley, both
Of South Carolina. All three OF the
witnesses agreed as to the details Of
their conversation with the admiral
I Az told BY Representative Byrncs,
the three congressman met the ad-
mirai In Paris Just after having visit
cd General Fershing on the front and
having been told by the general oil
the superiority or the American ar
rangements for the movement OF men
and munitions. They had also visited
the headquarters OF the service sol
supply. and had been shown by Gem
eral Harbcrd how the supplies were
transported. They met Admiral Sims
at the Hotel Grilion, and were as-
founded at his statement that the
transportation had fallen down.
Mr. Byrnes said that they told him
General Pershing was opposed to
signing the armistice. and believed
the war should go on. In reply he
said the admiral told htra the United
States Was forced to agree TO the ar
mistice because Il was NOT in condi-
ton to carry on 4 vigorous offensive,
