DANIELS SAYS SIMS
ROBBED L. S. NAVY
OF the Credit Due Destroyers in Their
Attacks on Submarines In the
Fighting Zone.

Washington, May 14.-Rear Ad'
miral Sims robbed American destroyer
crews of credit due them by leaving
the investigation OF combats with
submarines to the British admiralty,
Secretary Daniels to-day told the
Sena5e naval investigating committee.
Had he known that American officers
were not reviewing the circumstances
of battles between American vessels
and U.boats. he would have perehtorily
ordered the admiral to adopt that
course. the secretary said.
Admiralty reports and awards OF
credit to the Americans were accept
ed by Admiral Sims, Mr. Daniels said,
although the British demanded abso-
lutely conclusive proof before giving
credit for the sinking Of submarine
in the case of an American vessel
while using a less rigorous standard
in the case Of British ships.
Limited Credit Given.
Out of 256 attacks on submarines
by American vessels, the British gave
the United States forces credit for
but "a successful attacks, most of
which were listed as possibly slight
ly damaged said Secretary Daniels.
In only one case was full credit for
the sinking of U-boat given an
American ship, he declared, this be-
ing the destroyer Tanning, which
sunk the U 5S and captured the crew.
Mr.. Daniels said;
"In explaining why so few credits
we're given for known snkings the
summary compiled by Admiral Sims
states that unless prisoners or unmis'
taxable wreckage were obtained fol
lowing an attack it was practically inn
possible to definitely determine the re-
suits" That prisoners or wreckage
were not absolutely required before a
vessel was credited with sinking a
submarine is shown by the reports
from the British admiralty records OF
cases classed as known sunk
