Declares British Disseminated
Against American Ships in
Giving Due Credit
DEMANDED ABSOLUTE PROOF
FROM AMERICAN VESSELS
A Less Rigorous Course Was
Adopted Toward British Ships
in investigations of Subma-
rine Sinkings by the British
Admiralty.

Washington, May l4.-lHe SENATE
committee conducting the naval in
vestigation was informed by Seere-
tary of the Navy Daniels, in continu-
ing his testimony today, that Admiral
Sims had robbed the American destroy
lers of credit due them by leaving the
investigation, of combats with sub
marines to the British admiralty.
SECRETARY Daniels told the inyesti.
eating committee that had he known
the American office was not review
/ ing the circumstances of battles be
tween American vessels and subma-
rines, he would have pre-emptorily
ordered Admiral Sims to adopt thc.
course.
Continuing his testimony the Seore
tary declared that the British admir-
atty demanded absolute and conclu-
sive proof of sinkings in the case of
American vessels. but adopted less
rigorous course in conducting ,uvesti-
cations. of sinkings reported TO have
been made by British ships. and that
thereby American vessels were robbed
of credit that should righttully have
been accorded them.
Much of Secretary Daniels testi.
mony yesterday was devoted to Ad.
miral Sims criticisms of the depart
ment's troop convoy methods. The
admiral, Mr.. Daniels declared. per
sisted in regarding cargo ships as
vii fnl t0 ho oil
troop ships and took the attitude that
the former should be protected IL
necessary, at the cost OF transports.
This attitude caused the department
much anxiety he added, and finally
resulted in "blunt'' admonition that
jnavy's first mission.
Mr.. Daniels told the committee he
did not know that admiral Sims held
such a view until the officer testified
recently before a court OF inquiry. or
he would have recalled the officer
from London.
| Admiral Sims attempts to diseredit
the reports that the first American
convoy was attacked by submarines
were in line with his attempts to
throw doubt upon the entire conduct
of the first convoy the witness as
serted. Reports OF Admiral Gleayes
and the French general staff left no
doubt that there were submarines in
the vicinity and that the convoy was
attacked, he said.
The secretary took exception Ito
Admiral Sims attempts to give the
British the most of the credit for
carrying American troops overseas
and protecting them en- route" He
declared that nearly so per cent of
| lPershing's soldiers were carried in
American ships and that more than
80 per cent Of the protecting forces
were furnished by the United States
navy.
Secretary Daniels was told today
| Of persistent <rumors in Washington
that disciplinary measures had been
ordered against Admiral Sims; effec-
j tive as soon as the senate investigation
ended He denied that he had issued
any such orders and said:
