CLOSING ARGUMENTS ON
 FEDERAL PROHIBITION TODAY

Washington, March 9.-Presentation of arguments in cases from Rhode Island and MassaehuGetts attacking the validity of the prohibition amend ment to the constitution were con- cluded today in supreme court. The case from Kentucky will be disposed of tomorrow, after which the question will be left to the nations highest tribunal for decision.
 Counsel for those attacking the amendment continued today to argue that it was revolutionary and an in- vasion of states rights.
 You are now coming to fork in the road, one. leading to the power of amendment and the other back to the constitution" Levy Mayer of Chicago told the court, in opening for the Kentucky complainants.
 Mr.. Mayer denied that the amend ment had been ratified properly in view of referendum provisions in nu- merous state constitutions requiring such proposals to be submitted to the voters.
 These contentious were denied by Solicitor General King and Assistant Attorney General Frierson, who ar- gued the amendment was properly adopted by congress and had been ratified by three -fourths Of the states The solicitor general also said the amendment did not interfere with the functions of the states but gave the federal government powee to act with Ethe states in enforcing prohibition and resulted from a general demand upon congress to assist dry states in en- forcing prohibition laws.

ADMIRAL SIMS TELLS OF
 SHoRTcoMlNGS OF NAVY

Washington, March 9.-Rear Ad- miral Sims, in an opening statement today before the senate committee in- vestigating his charges that the navy department failed to cooperate. fully with the allies during the war; out lined the specific points on which he based his criticisms and promised that beginning tomorrow he would present evideneeein support of each contention.
 In opening his testimony Admiral Sims denied intention of initiating an attack on the part the navy played in the war, or of belittling it's efforts inasmuch as he was unable adequate ly to express" his admiration for the navy's efforts. His criticisms, he said. were directed at the policies pursued in the first six months of the conflict.
 Basic criticisms of the navX's poli- cies were said by the admiral to be: That during the early period of the war the department violated funda- mental principles of warfare leading to a -prolongation of hostilities and needless loss of lives and money.
 That the policies of the department in the last half of the war were iden- tical with recommendations rejected during the first six months.
 That if the department had proper plans when the nation entered the war they should have been placed in effect at once.
 That mistakes, if any were made should be carefully reviewed to avoid a future recurrence and to help mould future national defense policies.
 The United States entered the wal with the navy unprepared, he said, al- though war had been a possibility fol two years and American forces oa tho sea were not in the highest state o readiness. As result, the witnes. | added, the navy department failed foI at least six months to throw its ful force against the enemy.
 During this period we pursued, z policy of vacillation or a hand Ito. mouth policy" he declared.
 1 Referring to the recent naval dec 1 orations inquiry, of which the nresen investigation is an outgrowth. the ad miral said there existed what tn, naval service believes to be a deliber ate campaign of propaganda" aimed a prejudicing the case by bringing il i wholly irrelevant subjects.
