SIMS SAYS ATLANTIC FLEET WAS NOT KEPT
 READY DURING WAR
Hoover to be Called on in the Naval Investiga-
 tiOn

Washington, March 11.-Charges that the Atlantic fleet was not kept in readiness for battle during the war were added by Rear Admiral Sims to his arraignment of navy de- partment policy in testimony today before the senate Investigating com mittee.
 He told the committee that ire quent plans for American warships were disregarded and months were lost in dispatching squadron of battleship to join the British grand fleet: When the squadron finally was ordered abroad, he said. it was composed of four ships of different types. evidence that other ships to form homogeneous unit were mot ready for sea service" He read also a message from the navy de- partment showing that after the four were selected it was necessary to check them before they could pro- cecd, delay of another two or three weeks.
 Tribute to the officers and men of the battleship was paid by the ad- miral who said the work of fitting into the British fleet was accom- plished in four days, one of the fin est exhibitions he had ever seen. Service with the British, he pointed out, necessitated the abandonment of all the American codes and signals and adoption of the British system.
 Herbert Hoover will be called to testify in the senate investigation of the navy's conduct of the war.
 Rear Admiral Sims told the in- quiry committee that MT. Hoover had an intimate knowledge of the situa- ton in Europe at the time America entered the war and asked that he be called to substantiate his testi- mony with regard to the gravity of the allies position at that time.
 Admiral Sims said he had received note from MT. Hoover saying he would be here Saturday and Chair man Hale agreed to call him on that day.

 The indictments are drawn under sections and 9, of the Lever act and section 37 of the criminal code. The penalty upon conviction is said to be fine not exceeding $10,000 or imprisonment not more than two years, or both.
 The grand jury was called into special session for the sole purpose of Investigating the affairs of opera tors and miners. The jury reported 49 days later. 1t was convened De- cember 17, 1919, but adjourned from time to time to give officials an op- portunity to obtain witnesses and to prepare records.

 Judge Anderson's determination to call the grand jury was based large- ly, according to Mr. Stacks state ment, no the alleged facts disclosed in an information filed with the court in connection with the coal strike. In this information it was set forth that the officials of thu. miners union had violated the in- junction issued by the court and that there were indications that a conspiracy to violate the Lever act might be traced far beyond the off cers of United Mine Workers of America and the mine workers them selves
 The information set out the alleged acts of the defendants and others, showing that the injunction had not only been disobeyed but that the Lever act had been and was then being grossly, openly and defiantly violated"
 Judge Anderson instructed the jury to inquire into all those mat ters and also to investigate fully the defiant attitude" toward the laws of the country as indicated by the leaders of the United Mine Work CTS of America after they were en- joined and were mandated to cancel the strike order"
 In form only the order to cancel was complied with" the court said.

Washington, March 11.-Recom
 endations that the United States

 lderstood to be contained in the
 merican mission under Major Gen
 a Harbord which recently made a
 rr of inspection in that country to btan first hand facts as to Turkish
 lie.
 tThe report never has been pub Shed, although the senate twice has $auested President Wilson to trans 'it copy of it. The first request
 hs made last November but no kply was received and last week the tnate adopted second resolution tking for the document.
 ! It was said today that some knators had knowledge of the recom- tendation of an Armenia mandate Id that they had attributed the fesident's silence to the presence of Dis recommendation in the report. Reports from Paris last October, fter the mission had returned there, ly the civilian and military mem- ers were sharply divided as to the bvisabilitv of recommending that be United States accept a mandate br Armenia; the former supporting nd the latter opposing such a recom- lendation. General Harbord has Dnsistently refused to discuss the lission's report.
 Representatives in this country of he Armenian national council have apeatedly urged that the American overnment accept mandate over (eir suffering peoples, but no efinite policy has ever been an pAka by the administration. Op- sH n to mandates has been freely W.cssed in the senate in the long lscussion of peace treaty.
