SIMS ST RAJ \ Ed POINT
To MAKE CASE AGAINST
THE NAVY IS OPINION
Of THE ASSISTANT CHIEF

Washington, April 2O.--Rear Ad.
rniral Sims, strained q point to
make a case against the navy" when
he charged that its failure to coop
crate fully with the allies in the first
few months Of the war, postponed
victory four months, Captain Pratt,
wartime assistant chief Of opera
tions, said today before the senate
committee investigating the Sims
Daniels row.
Pratt said that most Of the "les'
Daniels entitled, Some Naval Les.
sons of the World War" were not
lessons but criticisms.
None Of these criticisms are con.
structivo." he said,
Pratt told the committee that dur
ing the early part of the war. only
nine or ten anti-submarine craft were
kept at home to protect the Atlantic
coast, whereas the British admiralty
kept Ill destroyers with the grand
fleet and entirely out Of anti-submar-
inc operations. II the few craft the
United States withheld from the war
2onc could have greatly affected the
length Of the war, he declared, the
British could certainly have spared
that number for so important a
cause.
Admiral Sims was under "mis
conception of his position when he
compared his duties with those Of
General Pershlng," Pratt continued
The admiral was not an independent
commander in chief, he said, but the
representative in London Of the chief
of operations.
The witness said the navy depart
ment had prepared many war plans
but that none fitted the peculiar con
dltions brought about by the sub
marine warfare, and new ones could
not be made as Admiral Sims could
get in touch with the admiralties
and find out the real needs of the
allies.
Some OF the factors that caused
delays and mistakes that might be
avoided in future wars, the captain
declared, were lack of material prep
aration Of adequate supplies and re-
pair bases, Of sufficient personnel
and training facilities, and Of modern
methods Of organization and admin
istratiOn.
Il ask you TO consider the navy
of April 1917, then the navy of No
vember 1918, and finally the navy
Of today" the witness said. with
men leaving the service in drove'
and lying idle at the navy yards
your navy Of today Is but battered
hulk OF what it was on armistce day
were war to be declared today. woult
it be the navys fault that we wert

A ARDMORE CLUBS MAY
JOIN IN ERECTION Of

Members Of the various clubs in

erecting a city club building for the
use OF the members for their weekly
club meetings.
The idea as yet, is entirely in for
nation ana no steps as to location.
plans, otc, have been taken.
Always heretofore the club meet
ings have been held Wherever n place
largo enough and available. could be
had.
The membership Of the several
Ardmorc clubs has grown to such
proportions that it is almost a neces
sity to provide permanent and con-
veniont quarters for the meetings, If
any good is to be accomplished from
these important organizations
SO some of the more interested
members have bccn talking the mat
ter over and are going forward in
the movement to get all the clubs
interested in building q real home
for club meetings.
II is expected that the subject will
be discussed at the regular weekly
dinners Of the clubs this week.
In event that such a step is de-
cided upon it Is more than likely
the women's clubs Of the city will be
invited to contribute a pro rata sum
and make use Of the building for
their meetings also.
The various clubs and business or
Gani2utions Of any city constitute a
very important part in the growth
ana development of the city's future
and the building of a home for their
convenience and comfort is a forward
movement that should meet the ap'
