SIMS TELLS Of
J.. 8. DELAYS
Withheld Sending All Available
Ships to European Waters
He Tells Senate Committee

By The associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 11:-Ind1-
cations that the navy department
withheld sending all available Amer
lean naval craft to European waters
early in the war because Of a desire
to keep the main body of the nations
sea strength intact for possible event.
ualities, were contained in Admiral
Sims testimony before the senate
committee investigating the naval
conduct of the war. He read a cable
gram from the navy department
dated July 10, 1917, containing m
outline of the departments policy
and declaring while a successful de-
termination of the present war must
always be the first allied aim n
probably will result in diminished
tension throughout the world the
future position of the United States
must in no way be jeopardized by n
dis~integration of our main lighting
fleet"
The same cablegram he said con-
tanned this statement; The navy de-
partment announces as Its general
plan of action the following: It's Will
ingness to send its minor fighting
forces in any number not Incompatible
with home needs to any field OF action
deemed advisable by the allied ad-
mirality council; its unwillingness as
a tIiokt VI poAtSJ ~
vision from the main fleet for service
abroad although it is willing to sen
the entire battle fleet abroad to act as
a united but cooperating unit when
the is deemed to warrant
It,"
With regard to this message n
statement of policy. Admiral Sims said
1t was the first definite statement OF
policy l had received, arriving q few
DAYS over three months after we had
declared war"
The astounding features of this
policy were however, that while II
stated out intention to cooperate to
the fullest degree, still such co-opera-
ton was conditioned first upon an
adequate defense of our W waters
and next upon future position OF the
United States after this wal was hnlsh-
ed say sthe admiral. II am wholly un-
able to conceive of any war policy
particularly In a world war of this ma
ture which was certain to exhaust all
the participants with the possible ex-
ception Of ourselves based upon the re-
uuirements Of any possible future
war"
A. message received from the navy
department dated July 5, to The erect
that several small vessels We're beang
sent to augment his forces indicated
that they were at last beginning to
realize there was a war being fought
in European waters, declared Admiral
Sims.
ION July 80, Admiral Sims testi-
fed, he sem the navy department a
review of the discussion OF the allled
naval council in which he stated 1t
was made apparent that closes coor-
dination of effects should be immed,,
lately established between the United
States and allies and reiterated ms
previous request for some more small
rratt with which to sight submarines.
Even as late as January 1918 he was
still calling for more d~estroyers. n
bv tina time, his predictions that the
allies would lose the war unless the
United States gave more
naval corporations were being JUST
fled by results and the navy depart
ment was beginning to carry out ms
recommendations Of six and eight
months before.
