BULLETINS
DELAY IN Ar AALLIES
TOLD< ADM. SIMS

WASHINGTON, Mari dis
regard by the navy departing of
his recommendation with regard to
adoption of the convoy system was
described by Adpiral Sims as "inf-
nitely more serious in it's bearing on
the war than other cases of alleged
inefIiciency mentioned in previous tes
timony before the Senate investigat-
ing committee. He said today that
early in 1917 the Allies were COM
PEELED by the submarines to adopt
the convoy plan for protecting ship
ping and that on May lst he urgently
recommended that "thc United
States give its cooperation but it was
not until June, 1918 that Secretary
Daniels replied that he considered
that American vessels having armed
guards were safer than sailing in--
dependently. The Admiral said he
again urged the immediate adoption
of the convoy system and Stated his
belief that arming. merchant men
did not offer sufficient safeguard
against SuDIlldIlllc dlldCkS.
On July 1st he received cable out
lining an entirely new plan of pro-
tecting merchant ships formulated in
the department which he said was
widely at variance with the British
and French systems and which he
cabled the department would be
fundamental military error" resulting
in direct assistance to the enemy" In
answer the navy department sub
mitted another plan and asked that
he present it to the British admiralty,
He did so and was told that the pro-
posal had been tried out by the Allies
early in the war without success and
that the admiralty desired assurance
of American cooperation in the con-
voy plan SO the FIRST convoy might
sail from New York, July 8. About
the same time Admiral Jellicoa wrote
him expressing grave apprehension
for the success OF the convoy system
unless the United States decided to
participate, the admiral stated. Final
ly. on July 22d, the navy department
accepted the convoy plan for troop
ships and later accepted it for supply
vessels, the admiral testified, but only
after great pressure had been brought
to bear by the other Allies and after
many valuable weeks had been vast
ed. Even as late as August 1, he said
he received messages from the de-
partment asking that the convoy sys-
TEN be explained although "for four
months | had been exhausting my vo-
cubalary in attempting to explain the
system"
