SIMS ATTACKS
NAVAL ORDERS
Declares Fifteen Months Passed
Before American Forces
Were Able to Aid.
DEPARTMENT HINDERED
Says Washington Wanted to
Approve All Combat Planes
Before Action.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Rear Admiral
( Sims told the senate committee inves-
tigating naval awards today that when
|, he was ordered to England in March
/ 1917, just before the United States
entered the war he was instructed by
the navy department, mot to let the
British pun the wool over your eyes.
and that I'VE would just as soon fight
the British as the central powers
! Rear Admiral Sims told the commit
tee he had recommended for decora-
tions five times as many officers who
served at sea during the war as he
had officers who served on shore. He
made this explanation, he said to cor
rect an impression apparently widely
held that he favored the decoration
of officers detailed to shore duty more
generally than those who served at
sea.
The admiral also read a letter he
wrote to Commander d. w. Bagley ex-
pressing great regret that Secretary
Daniels. should have been so badly
! advised" in the matter of awarding
a distinguished service medal to Com
mander Bagley.
Il am very sorry that you should
be placed in such an unfavorable light
after your fine destroyer service in
feel sure that if you had been consult
ed in the matter you would have taken
steps to avoid this.
The criticism in the press attack
the secretary, particularly for award
ing the d. S. NJ. to you and about all
those who commanded vessels that
were torpedoed during the war.
Admiral Sims told the committee he
wrote this letter after he had writ
ten Secretary Daniels crlsiciaing the
circumstances Of some of the awards.
The admiral also charged that
Americaff hawai- headquarters in Lon
the navy department and that the
department did not arrive at any de-
cided plan of action until ten months
after he arrived in London. He added
that '.it was ten months before we
really came to the aid of the allies or
acted on their recommendations"
Admiral Sims testimony was in the
form of letter to Secretary Daniels,
entitled some Naval Lessons of the
Great War" which Mr.. Daniels re-
ceived several days ago. The letter
criticised the department for attempt
ing to administer the details of ac-
ton by the American naval forces
overseas and alleged that the depart

to pass fully ON all plans, even those
regarding action against the enemy.
Characterizing the alleged attitude
of the department as "a terrible
thing" Senator Mccormick, republic
can of Illinois, said:
Il believe we Will have to go to
the naval affairs committee or the
senate for further instructions and au-
thority TO investigate this entire mat
ter of the attitude of the navy depart
ment toward Admiral Sims mission"

Prohibition Has Fallen Lightly
on Country, Revenue
Agents Report.
FIGHT 800 YEARS OLD
Every Religious Sect and Greed
Has Labored for Nation
Wide Prohibition.

1 New York, Jan. 17.-Unc1e sam has
/ been legally dry" now for "a hours.
Prohibition in its nationwide aspect
has fallen upon the country gently, it
is reported by Federal internal rev.
ienue officials, largely because of we'll
stocked cellars and the knowledge of
the accessibility of Cuba where a man
may quench any kind of a thirst and
still be within the law. Meanwhile
drug stores and candy emporiums are
reported doing an increased business
where a wink" at the soda fountains
nowadays carries no more suggestion
OF kick than a dash of ginger.
Meanwhile, the chdrcnes and other
organizations are celebrating the final
triumph of prohibition after a cam
paign' which, they say, lasted 27S
wears. NeSt Monday the armv of
clergymen in Greater New York who
meet annually for a union meeting
and who represent nearly every sect
and creed-Jewish, Catholic and Pro-
testant-wiIl gather here and listen to
addresses by Federar prohibition Com
missioner Kramer, Wayne b. Wheeler,
general counsel for the Anti-Saloon
League and other notables in the dry
fight. Similar jubilee meetings. it
is said. wiz be held IN other parts OF
the country. Tomorrow will be Law
and Order Sunday"
At these meetings, various speak
ers are expected to touch upon some
of the historical dates OF the anti
liquor movement in america. which
had its inception in Maryland in 1912
when the colony passed a law pun
g f1~1yY9 9Irn7,r Nv
pounds of tobacco" Other curious
events in the struggle to give John
Earleycorn the count may be recalled
as follows:
Pennsylvania colony in 1914 made it
legal to sell liquor to Indians as we'll
as to whites but a few years later
Connecticut and Rhode Island penal
lied rum selling t. the nadskins by
inaposinS- heavy fines In 1A50 Con-
necticut passed a law forbidding
tippling for more than half an hour
at time" Fourteen years later
Massachusetts fined tavern keepers
20 shillings for catering TO a drunken
man. Maryland in 1868 voted to put
any person found drunk 'sin the stocks !
for six hours Virginia decided "a
common drunkard" was any person
who had been intoxicated three times
Even the clergy in Virginia some
times looked too long upon th~ wine
when it was red. It became so had !
that the Assembly passed a law pro |
hlbiting ministers from giving them !
selves to excess in drinking or riot or |
IN playing at unlawful games" New
Jersey decided in 1868 that no person !
should be permitted to drink "after |
p. m Massachusetts, two years |

AMERICA QUCHT
TO CONQUER AIR
Colonel Hensley Tells Air SSe
vice Committee Germany
Is Most Efficient.

Washington. Jan. 17-Commercia'
air navigation is coming and the Unit
ed States must prepare to meet that
issue. declared Colonel William c
/ IIensley in a report to the air serv-
ice, United States army, from Ger
many. where he is studying dirigi-
bles.
/ "Airships are now possible in any
kind or condition of weather" Colonel
Hensley wrote. mo weather condi-
tions, except a strong-cross hangar
wind, prevent the Bodensee', the com
mercial air-liner built since the arnis-
Etice by the Zeppelin Airship Corpora
, tion at Frederichshafen on Lake Con
stance, from making its daily flight
| (39o miles) to Stalker, Is miles from
Berlin
Because she flies between Berlin
! and the natural outlet TO Switzerland.
the accommo modations are at a premium.
Bookings have been made four weeks
in advance at Ats marks
THE design of the Bodensee is the
latest in airships, so far advanced over
anything 1 have seen, that one is led
to express the opinion that. in air
ship construction (and operation as
welD, all other countries are made
babes in the woods compared to the
Germans.
Our airship construction and op-
Grafton should be patterned after the
most efficient system. There is no
doubt in my mind that that system
lies in Germany.
Commercial air navigation is COM
ing and we must meet that issue very
soon. Let US be prepared to choose
our course so that we shall make as
few mistakes as possible. The build
ing up of the present small CONNER
cial enterprise in Germany has meant
numerous heartbreaking experiences.
millions of marks have been lost
in the beginning, and lives Of mem
bers of crews have been lost. but let it
be said. to the eternal credit of the
man with the fixed idea and of his
sdbordinates, that not ia single pas
senger carrier on a Zeppelin atrship
has been injured or killed-and to
date the total carried has reached the
sum of 100000.
"This statement does not mean that
casualties will not occur. Irrespon-
sible boys can take airships in the air
and bringsthem down in flames in the
heart of a large city, or careless Of
ficers and men may explode a dirigi-
bic on the ground and burn numper
of spectators; but we can at least
conduct our service along scientific,
known principles. that can be OBJ
tanned from an intimate study of the
German methods, and thus minimize
the number of disasters.
America is by nature the chosen
spot of all the world for commerclal
airship work; with her great expanse
of territory within, with her far flung
territories in Central and South Amer
lea. with her centers of population dis
posed so as to require more rapid
transport than yet in operation, with
her push and energy that bids Tor
in all things good. with
her supply of helium gas unequalled
in all the world, should bid strong
her way in the path of progress.

tinued next week but time VIII be re-

the democratic national committed de-
clared today. Cummins, who attended
the meeting of the committee on ar
rangements for the San Francisco con
vention. made this statement when
asked if the party intended to under
take any propaganda to overcome the
reported detection of certain Irish and
other elements opposed to ratification
Of the treaty in its present form. We
are going TO consider the treaty and
other issues as Americans" he said.
Il am unalterably opposed to consid-
ering this question in any other way"
Cummins said. Personally 1 believe
radical objections TO the peace treaty
are more noise than anything else
Those who are shouting loudeSt haven't
been strong for US anyway He
called attention to the fact that the
democratic national committee had en-
dorsed the peace treaty as submitted
by President Wilson and is standing
pat on 1T. He said he did not believe
the treaty to be inimical to the political
of the Irish people and de-
clared the treaty and league of nations
to be a real benefit to all small ma
tions
