IRISH FRIENDS USE
REPORT BY SIMS
Quote Admiral to Refute Lloyd
Georges Charge of Sub
marine Bases on Coast.

Tho following statement is issued
by the Friends of Irish Freedom Ma
tibnal Bureau OF Information In re-
gard to the published announcement
by the Irish office in London con-
cerning submarine bases on the Irish
coast:
THE official statement issued by the
Irish Office in London and published
In the American press today, reiterat-
ing the charges that German subma-
rtne bases were discovered off the
Irish coast during the late war has
no more evidence to back II up than
the previous improved charges made
by Lloyd George and other English
ministers. 1T is admitted that the an
nouncement of the discovery OF such
a base shortly before the armistice
was q verbal one and that there is no
exact record of the language used.
The Irish Office Is now simply re-
peating unsubstantiated charges in an
effort TO give added force to the
weak accusations made by Lloyd
George in his Carnarvon speech on
October 8.
"Rear Admiral william Sowden
Sims. who, during the war, was in a
position which makes his utterances
on such a subject worth consideration,
made the emphatic statement that
there were no German U-boat bases
on the Irish coast. From such a
source there is no doubt that every
benefit would be given to the English
point OF view: yet, in his article on
"The Victory at Sea" in the Worlds
Work for September, 1919. page Sol,
Admiral Sims says:
"'And here let me correct one uni
versal Misrepresentation. These u
boats did not have bases off the Irish
and Spanish coasts. as most people
believe The cruising period
Of a submarine did not depend, as
most people think, upon it's supply of
fuel oil and food. for ALMOST any un-
derwater boat could carry enough of
these essential materials for a practi-
cally indefinite period, and the aver
age U-boat could easily make the voy-
age across the Atlantic and back. The
cruising period depended upon its
supply OF torpedoes. Bases
on the Irish coast would have been
useful only in case they could replen-
ish the torpedoes, and this was OBJ
viously an impossibility. No, theirs
was not the slightest mystery con
cerning the bases, of the U-boats
When the Germans captured the city
of Bruges in Belgium they trans
formed it into a submarine base; here
many of the U-boats were built, and
here facilities were provided for
docking, repairing and supplying
