Washington, March Il. -Charges that the Atlantic fleet was not kept Tn readiness for battle during the war were added by Rear Admiral Sims to his arraignment of navy department policy in testimony today before the senate investigating committee.
 He told the committee that frequent pleas for American warships were disregarded and months lost in des- matching a squadron of battleships to join the British grand fleet. When the squadron finally was ordered abroad, he said it was composed of four shlps of different types, evidence that other ships to form a homogeneous unit were mot ready for sea service. lie read also message from the navy de- partment showing that after the four wera selected ii was necessary to dock them before they could proceed, de- lay of another two or three weeks.

Springfield. Mo. March .11.-Ten persons are known to be dead and eight injured as the result of a torna- do which swept through the valley of Turkey Creek, near Branson and Hol- lister, fin Fancy county, today.
 Seven of the dead are children of Ran and William Box, brothers, liv- ing at Melva, a small town five miles south of Branson.

 Admiral Sims charged that 1t was three months after the United States entered the war before he received a statement of the navy department s policy: that for seven months the de- partment failed even to answer his cahles with regard to sending battle ships. and then denied the request, but a month later reversed its posHlon and ordered the sixth battle squadron abroad that he first urged the des- patch~of all available tugs to the war zone on April 29, 1917, but no tugs arrived until a year later. although 45 were available to the navy department the day war was declared in addition to many owned by private concerns; that although he asked on June 2S, 1917. that American submarines be sent to the war zone to help combat U-boats, it was four months before his request was compiled with, and then only five submersibles were sent, five more arriving four months later.
 Admiral Sims requested that the committee call Herbert Hoover to sI,bstantiate his statements that the war was in danger of being lost by the allies because of the German ub- marine campaign. The committee agreed to ask Mir Hoover to appear Saturday to tell of food conditions in the allied countries in the summer oi 1917.

 ABOUT SALE OF GOVERNMENT OWNED MERCHANT FLEET

Washington. March 1i.-Congress should include in merchant marine legislation a specific direction to the shipping board to sell the present gov ernment-owned fleet. but should give the board full discretion as to how and when sales should he made.

No Vote on Article 1 Ten Before Saturday
Will Be Taken Up Again For mally in the Senate Today Little Hope For Final Agreement.
Agreement,

Washington March 1L-During a truce in the peace treaty debate today senate leaders marshaled their scat tered forces for another and decisive attempt to reach a compromise on Article Ten.
 As result some semblance, of CO., hesion was restored among the com promise advocates on the republican anu democratic sides of the chamber, but the total of votes that could be counted for. any compromise still was snort Of the necessary two- thirds, and the leaders expressed little hope of ina lagreement.
 Resurrecting the new republican substitute for the Article Ten reser- Vaelon, the republican leaders agreed on some changes in wording in the nope that they might regain the SUD- port or the handful of republican sem ators whose refusal to support the substitute yesterday started a general breaking up of the whole compromise situation. It was understood they had not entirely succeeded tonight and 1t renamed uncertain whether the re- vised substitute would be offered when the debate is'resumed tomorrow.
 Among the democratic compromise adVocates, who claimed upwards of 30 democratic votes for the substitute last night, work was continued az gresslVely and the leaders asserted 1 they had made further gains during the day. Late in the afternoon. how ever, Senator Hitchcock of Nebra ska the democratic leader, started deter mined counter offensive against inc new reservation, with the result that the status Of compromise on the dem ocfatic side became almost as uncer-
 tam as IL was among the republicans. 4he pest claims that were made to- hlsht by the most optimistic advocates 1 or compromise fixed the democra tic support for the substitute at s2 yotes anu the republican support for it at 3O | votes. That reckoning if correct
 stlil would leave shortage of two | votes from the 64 necessary to ratifv the treaty, and no leader knew from 1 what quarter any additional strength could be gained
