about 1S by IA miles. The addition
contains 145 square miles, practically
all of which lies to the north.
In making the circuit Of Crater
lake over the wonderful Rim Road,

Diamond lake is feature of the
addition. II lies at an elevation OF o.
200 feet, is about by 3 miles, is
comparatively shallow, affords good
bathing and is an idenl camping

Opposition to Klamath Lake Reclamation

A BILL In congress introduced by
n Raker of California and providing
for the drainage of the Klamath Lake
region In California and Oregon with
a view to soldier settlement has stirred
up a three-sided controversy. The ag-
ricultural department experts say
these lake bottoms and marshes would
become simply alkali flats, unfit for
cultivation. The former klamath was
cut off from its water supply and
largely dried up last summer. The
agricultural department soil experts
say the dried-out land Is too alkali
for farming purposes. The govern
ment reclamation service undertook to
drain large area here several years
ago and abandoned the project as i'm
practicable after an expenditure of
$2S3, 3,225. The United States biologi-
cal survey says that forage for live
stock In the marshy lands is all that
the region will yield.
In the current number of the nat
ural history magazine, DIR. Il. w. Mel
son, chief of the biological survey,
presents arguments for the preserva-
tion of the region as one of the most
notable migratory bird preserves In
the United States.
Containing great area of swampy
land with shallow-water lake IN the
middle, the Klamath Lake reservation
forms an ideal home for myriads OF
migratory wild fowl. such as ducks

SIMS EXPLAINS
HIS ATTACK ON /.
NAVAL AWARDS
Commander Of Foreign Water
Fleet Says Morale Has
"Been Knocked to
Pieces"

| Washington, Jan. 16.--While dis
claiming any thought of making a
personal attack on Secretary Dan
! iels, Rear Admiral William S. Sims
told the senate subcommittee inves-
tigating naval war decorations that
morale of the service had "been
knocked to pieces" as a result of
methods followed in making the
/ awards.
The underlying cause of "the
whole unfortunate affair."" Admiral
Sims asserted, was failure of Mr..
Daniels to formulate definite pol
| icy to govern awards in his instruc-
tions to the Knight medal board.
Grave injustices had been done
many officers because of this, he
added.
Admiral Sims, who during the war
! commanded American forces in for
eign waters, said constructive criti-
cism was part of his duty to the
service and his recent letter, as we'll
as his testimony, was not to be con-
strued otherwise. He argued for
withdrawal of department regula-
tions requiring officers not to pub
lish critical articles without specific
sanction as in the best interests of
the service. In connection with his
original letter refusing a distin-
guished service medal pending &C
ton by the secretary on his plea for
reconsideration of his recommenda-
tions as to awards, he said Mr.. Dan
! iels had written him that no final
atcion had been taken.
Discussion Is Heated.
During the hearing Admiral Sims
engaged in. heated verbal tits with
Senators Pittman, democrat, Neva-
da, and Trammell, democrat, Flor
ida, who showed a disposition to
, cross question him in detail.
Before Admiral Sims was heard,
Senator Pittman made a determined
effort to have Mr.. Daniels called as
the first witness, declaring the COM
mittee was showing discourtesy in
calling a subordinate first. His mo-
ton was defeated on party lines.
Summing up his objections to the
decorations award policy, Admiral
Sims declared that 'the awarding OF
medals to men who lost their ships
i'll action without engaging the en-
emy was without precedent in the
history of the American navy or any
other navy and had resulted in SHIT
tering the morale of the service"
Officers of the navy, the admiral
said, would much rather have no
medals awarded than to have them
juggled around. He said that his
chief criticism was not that some of
his recommendations had not been
approved, but was that by awarding
medals of different value than he
recommended to various officers on
his staff, the board and the secre-
tary had changed the relative order
of merit of the service of the officers,
conferring high decoration on Of
ficers who performed more or less
routine duty and lower honors on
officers who administered posts of
extreme importance.
