control of the Smithsonian 1nstitu-
tion is recommended. as is also the
grouping of the buildings of the Army
Medical College. Museum and Library

Philippine leaf brought into the coun-
try of 1919 pounds, or 10 per cent.
contrasted with the corresponding
month last year. Wrapper leaf, prin-
cipal shipments of which come from
the Netherlands and the Dutch East
Indies, decreased 1926 pounds, or 5
per cent. All other leaf imports de-
creased 2,2S7,626 pounds, or SO per
cent.
The total quantity of all unmanufac-
tured tobacco brought into the United
States during February, 1920, was
1851, 1871 pounds, or 81 per cent less

not the first or only instance in which
Admiral Sims-has stated before this
committee that statements made in
his official dispatches to the depart
ment during the war were not to be
relied upon"
Mr.. Daniels also testified that AID
miral Sims had objected to the use
of the former German liner Leviathan
as troop ship on the ground that her
great length made her a better target
for torpedoes than smaller vessels. He
also said that the admiral had con-
tended that the ship should be operat-
ed to Liverpool rather than to Brest,
because of better facilities for hand
ling her cargo.
Made BIunder, Charged.
The navy department, the secretary
said, followed the admiral's advice in
the matter with the result that the
Leviathan because of her great draft
had to await an entire lunar month
at Liverpool before she could get out
of the harbor. Admiral Sims views
were then disregarded, the witness
said, and the Leviathan operated out
Of Brest where her turn around was
measured in hours instead of weeks,
and she broke all records in the num-
Der of troops transported"
Mr.. Daniels presented various Off
cial documents to support his con-
tention that the convoy system was
originally sponsored by the American
navy, and that it was not adopted
fully until months after the United
States entered the war and had sent
many destroyers and other craft over
seas, thus providing the ships to make
the operation Of the convoy system

over again that this dispatch made
him about ready to jump overheard

particular method to protect shipping
and was resisting the adoption or the

Admiral Sims should produce the
person who changed the signature,
Mr.. Daniels declared, adding that 1.-The
admiral owes an apology to me and to
the country for the impression under
taken to be made by his testimony
based on false signature"
Much Of the secretary's testimony
today was devoted to the controversy
over conveying troop ships. He In
sisted that Admiral Sims had not
agreed with the departments views
as to the necessity for protecting
transports and told the committee he
had found 1t necessary to remind Ad
miral Sims several times during the
war that the first duty of American
destroyers abroad was to protect these
vessels.
The admiraPs course regarding the
protection of troop ships caused the
department much anxiety" Secretary
Daniels declared and finally he blunt
ly" told Sims that everything was sec
ondary to the safeguarding Of vessels
carrying American soldiers.
Withdrew Convoy, He Says.
Mr.. Daniels charged that Admiral
Sims withdrew the destroyer escort
from the first convoy as soon as it ar
rived abroad. leaving the transports
without protection for the return
voyage.
