DECKER RECALLED
 AS INSUBORDINATE
Daniels Says He Wanted to Act
 as Secretary Of State

Washington. Jan. 1.-Rear Admiral Benton C. Decker. commandant of the 1th Naval District. headquarters at Key West, Fla, was recalled from duty as military atttIche at Madrid, Spain, during the war because he was insuDordinate to Ambassador Joseph F. Willard.
 This fact developed when Secretary of the Navy Daniels was questioned regarding the claim of Admiral Deck CT, who was awarded d Navy Cross, that he Was entitled to a. D. s. M. for having kept Spain out of the war against the United States and the AL lies.
 Mir. Daniels took emphatic eNcep- tion to Admiral Decker's charge that Am bassador Willard interfered with his efforts toward keeping Spain out Of the war on Germany's side.
 '.The naval attache at any post said MT. Daniels, lis always under the direct authority of the Ambassador If he desires to carry out certain policy and the Am bassador opposes it, he should immediately abandon the plan. Instead Admiral Decker thought he was Am mbassad dQr and Secretary of State. too, and 1 was compelled to re- lieve him.
 Docs Not Exalt Decker
 II did not consider Admiral Decker's services greater than those of any Clreadnaught commanders. l do not think his services were superior ta those of Admiral Benson and Admiral Sims, who both served on shore.
 If he wants to advertise that he is the greatest man in the navy: that he controlled the Parliament of Spain and the court of that country, that is his ff,i, hI+ ,o1i ho great mistake.''
 MT. Daniels said he did not doubt that Admiral Decker had honestly sought to serve as his patriotism dic- tated but made the mistake of dis agreeing with the Ambassador, who was the supreme United States repre- sentative in Spain.
 He added that Admiral Decker was given the Navy Cross for his faithful ness as a naval officer, and that it was agreed this honor was the highest his services in the war merited.
 Disagreement Is Pathetic.
 Tt is a pathetic thing" continued Secretary Daniels. that officers who did their duty as they saw it should disagree With the judgment of the Navy Department in awarding deco rationS.
 "If I were to reprint the spirit of the navy and the spirit of the coun- try in the awarding of honors, the first to get decorated would be the fellow who saw the enemy. I would put them ahead of Admiral Benson and Admiral Sims. The men who endeav- ored to combat the enemy or the sea would come first. Then I would take Benson, who was the most conspicuous man on shore. Then Sims would come next and then Wilson. Niblack, GleaVes and the others" Commander C. V. Cusachs, who was an aide of -Ad- miral Decker, MT. Daniels said, re- turned With the Admiral from Mad rid, Commander Cusachs, who was aApro~ lessor of mathematics in the navN has since resigned
