SIMS SEEKS
TO REFLECT
ON PRESIDENT

In Keeping with the consistent his
tory OF the Republicans since the Sc
lection of Mr.. Josephus Daniels by
President Wilson for the chair OF
Secretary of the Navy in the Presi-
Dental portfolio, Mr.. Sims brings
charges of the most serious nature
against the secretary.
His charges are, briefly stated that
the Secretary of the Navy did not
cooperate fully at the outbreak Of
the war, and that on account Of this
dallying. many thousands Of lives on
both sides Of the firing line were sac
riAced.
The charges, however, lack both
tlmeliness and pungency.
The criticism comes two years too
late and there is little unanimity on
the question Of tactics at that time.
Wrestling with an inadequate Navy
with host Of unframed sailors, and
with soldiers only just called to the
camps for training, it is plain in the
minds of most of us that In those
early days it was not a matter OF
cooperation near the battle front bu,
rather matter Of operation in the
vast fields behind the scenes.
No expert would state that Mr.
Daniels did not act with sound judg.
ment and energetic dispatch.
1t is only politician who would
do so.
A war board would not conside,
such charge as matter OF inyesti.
cation.
But Mr.. Sims asks the American
people to sit on Judgment on actions
the wisdom Of which no mortal can
do more than conjecture.
Why then the charges?
Simply and solely this: Through
this avenue an attack is made on the
President. 1t is not Mr.. Daniels who
is under fire; 1t is the White House
Mr.. Wilson is famous for STANDING
