Secretary Daniels Calls Admiral Sims Charge
an Insult to the Splendid Men of
y. S. Navy.
NOT RATIFIED BY LITTLE, MATTER
Navy Now Short of Skilled Mechanics Because
Congress Has Not Yet Raised Pay as
Recommended.

With regard to Sims charge that
Daniels limited a medal should be Civ
en- his brother-in-iaw Commander
Worth Bagiey, Of the destroyer Jacob
Jones, Daniels declared Sims high
praise of Bagley and other officers
prompted him to write letter asking
what medal recommendations had
been made for them.
THE morale of the navy has suf-

have affected the whole country which.
has not yet recovered from the shell
shock Of the war Daniels continued.
The navy is short of skilled me-
] chanics because congress has not yet
raised the pay to figures recommend
ed months ago. Daniels explained.
Some of the brainiest men in the
war would have gone unrewarded had
he not changed the medal recomInen-
dalton, he asserted.
when the report of the board of
awards came TO me I observed at q
! glance that there were very few
recommendations for officers and men
| in the armed guard service. These
were the men of the navy first to put
their lives in jeopardy and make the
supreme sacrifice for America in the
world war"
Young men who laid the North Sea
mine barrage, Il most difficult task.
were inadequately recognized, Daniels
said.
81 also observed that some of the
men who had met submarine attacks
and shown high courage in the hour
when their ships had been torpedoed
or mined, had been given the distir-
guished service medal while others,
who had in the most trying hour that
can come to any man, shown equally
distinguished behavior, had either
been gievn no medal at all or given
lesser honor. l directed the bureau OF
navigation to place on the list the
commander of every ship torpedoed
whose bearing and devotion to duty
had been reported as in keeping with
the spirit of Lawrence and Perry and
Bigsbee."
