Washington, Jan. 2O.-ChargeS OF
Rear Admiral Sims that the Navy De-
partment failed to cooperate fully with
the allies during the war will be inves-
tigated by the Senate subcommittee
before which they were made.
This was decided by the full naval
pointment of another subcommittee to
determine if there should be an in
quiry into charges by J. r. Rathom, ed
itOr of the Providence, x. l., Journal,
that with the knowledge of Secretary
Daniels many seamen have been used
for most vile and nameless practices
to entrap innocent men,"
Secretary Daniels announced Ad
miral Sims would be called on to make
good his charges either before the
Senate or a naval board.
Inquiry into Admiral Sims charges
will not be started by the Senate sub
committee until it's present investiga-
tiOn of naval decorations is completed,
which probably will be in ten days.
That investigation was continued to-
day with Admiral Sims concluding his
testimony
Mr.. RathOm alleged there was a di-
vision of the naval intelligence Great
ed to use naval seamen to "entrap in
nocent men" and that as the result of
the ''practices'' resorted to, "the NOR
ale of the Navy Department is being
rapidly destroyed" He added that
.the entire blame stands at the door
of Mr.. Daniels" and that 1--WE have

Secretary Daniels declined to$Gom-
ment on Mr. Rathom's chargesAuntil,
he said, he wa&more familiar with the
allegations.
Entering general denial OF the
Sims charges, Mr.. Daniels declared
'the matter has gone so far that un-
ess the charges are proven to the en-
ire satisfaction of the people an in
luiry will be made by the naval
board"
He emphasized that Admiral Sims
was not commander-in-chief of the
American naval forces overseas, and
that he was subordinate to Admiral
Mayo, as commander of the Atlantic
fleet and to Admiral Benson, chief of
naval operations. He said Admiral

Musica, instruments of Insects.

Buzzing or humming is mainly due
to rapid vibrations of the wings, which
often strike the air more than hun
dred times in a second, but there is
sometimes a special quivering instru-
ment near the base of the wings.
Chrping or trilling is due to some sort
of "stridulating" organ, one hard part
being scraped against another, as the
bow on the fiddle-it may be leg
against wing.
