Daniels Reads Letter.
MIR. Daniels also read letter from
Admiral Sims to former Ambassador
Page, at London, written Aug. I, 1917.
which, in part, said:
In this connection | have a Suggest
ton to make. | have received word,
practically directly from the president,
that he was much displeased with my
reply to his cablegram; that it did not
change his opinion at all; that he re-
seTds me as owned by the admiralty
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of replacing
me by some other officer"
Admiral Sims reply to the president
told also of plans for combined sea
and land attack to turn the German
right flank and cut of Zeebrugge as
provisioning base, Mr.. Daniels said.
THAT was the kind of bold and au-
dacous thing the president and the
navy department had been urging from
our entrance into the war" declared the
secretary But even then Admiral
Sims said it had not been definitely
| the daring and successful attack :, on
Zebrugge came much later 1t might
have been a very different story If 1t
had been undertaken earlier when the
navy department was urging some
| such hold plan, all of which Admiral
Sims thought 'fmpracticable' when
turged by the navy department"
Admiral Sims told the president he
| had been shown studies of the depart
ments plan to prevent the egress Of
| submarines Mr.. Daniels said, and that
he considered the scheme impractical.
He evidently sought to discredu the
navy departments plans by saying that
| these same suggestions or many SINH
lar ones had been made by people of
| all classes since the beginning of the
war" said Mr.. Daniels. Instead Of
accepting the departments suggestions
| of great offensive plans or originating
| some plan that promised to stop the
| egrcss of German submarines, his nina
| was closed to the above and, as many
| other extracts show, to every plan
| looking TO the great offensive which
in the fall of 1917 was the most effec-
| tive foe Of the submarine "

Sims Ideas Were Old.

Sims cable to the president suggested
that the proper policy to pursue was
to adopt the recommendation he had
made to the department most of which
had been decided upon and put in OPP
GRAFTON before Admiral Sims suggested
them, Secretary Daniels declared.
"IIC added" the secretary continued,
that we should adopt an organization
similar in all respects to the British
squadron and virtually transfer all ma
val authority to his headquarters in
London He was careful not to say,
though, he regarded the Queenstown
base and surroundings as the critical
area that as rapidly as American de-
stroyers arrived the British destroyers
were removed to another atea, although
he now makes the preposterous state
ment that the failure to have more de-
stroyers in that critical area 1--WE had
"a at that time out of our total OF
5O) occasioned the loss OF 10000 lives
and $4,000 000,0 600 in money
Two remarkable and significant
statements" in Admiral Sims reply
to President Wilson as evidence
that the admiral was so hypnotized by
British influences that he was willing
to try to lure the president of the
United States into the feeling that re-
gardless of future developments we can
always count upon the support Of the
British navy"
The first was that the views he had
expressed We're in all cases ian indie
pendent opinion, based upon specific
facts, collected in the admiralty and
other. government departments" The
second was as follows.

Can Count Upon British.

lieve to be true, that regardless OF any
future developments we can always
count upon the support Of the British

important government officials.
1T would be interesting to know
what British government officials as
sured him that regardless of tutuEe de-
velOpments the United States can al
ways count upon the support of the
seems inconceivable that any admiral
could have regarded such assurances
as worth paying tolls to transmit, Ev-
cry school boy should know that in
democratic government no government
official could pledge his country's navy
to support another government regard
less of future developments. 1t is to
be hoped that if ADMIRAL Sims has
such assurances he will send a copy
of the pledge in writing with the name

Admiral Sims was under the spell
of influences that made him believe
that the British government could be
depended upon more to take care OF
America than thataAmeriCa should de-
pend upon her own strong right arm,
said Mr. Daniels.
This attitude of acceptance of ev-
erything British" he added, "undoubt-
edly accounts for his opposition to the
creation Of an Independent American
army and his idea that American
troops sent abroad should be, used as
an annex to the British army quoting
