Admiral Sims Completes Arrangement;
His CroSS-EXaminatiOn in Order

Washington, March 1S-Concludiug
his long arraignmcnt Of the navy
department, Rear Admiral Sims laid
before the senate investigating COM
mlttee today - specific counts, charg.
ing mistakes and costly delays.
Roitcrating his declaration that his
criticisms were aimed at no individual
but that responsibility for any fail
urcs" rested upon "the navy depart
ment as an organl2ation,' Admiral
SIMS said.
"lf any individual was responsible,
the fact would necessarily have to
be developed by persons who kne"
the inner workings of the depart
mcnt during tho war"
Tho admirals summary Of his
charges follows.

had been going On for nearly three
years. and our entry into it had been

ready for war service when the Unit
cd states entered.
"rhat the first few months after
America entered tho war were eN'
tromely critical ones for the whole
allied cause due to the success or
enemy submarines.
THAT this critical situation was
made clear to the navy department
O. few days after America entered the
war and repeatedly thereafter by
cables and letters. supported by indo-
pendent advices to the government
from the American ambassador in
London, and 10y Mr.. Hoover.
"That the navy department supplied
me with no plans or policy covering
our participation in the war for three
months. after our entry therein.
"rhat, having information as to
tho critical situation Of the allies,
the navy department did not prompt
ly assist them, and thereby prolong-
cd the war, by delaying the sending
of anti-submarine vessels, none reach
ing Europe for nearly q month after
war was declared, and 1.2 months
olapslng before 30 vessels arrived.
"That the navy department failed

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1920-03-18

G fundamental military principles in
attempting to formulate war plans
uf operation without having sufficient
knowledge Of the whole situation.
THAT the departments representa-
tive with the allied aGmiraitics was
not supported, during the most criti-
cal months, either by adequate per
sonnoL or by adequate forces that
could have been supplied.
THAT the navy department violat-
Cd fundamental military principles in
dispensing forces away from the crit-
cal area, in order TO meet diversions
Of the enemy.
THAT the navy department, in the
first months of the war, attempted
'hc direction Of details, although 1900
miles distant rom the scene Of active
operations, whore the situation was
changing from day to day
"rhat the navy department in not
clearly defining the responsibility and
dalcgatng authority to It's reprcson-
tativo in Europe, failed to follow
sound principles, common alike to
the business and military professions.
THAT the navy department. by con.
trolling the operations and movements
of certain forces within tho war area.
violated the fundamental military
principle Of unity OF command.
That the navy department failed
to keep its representative abroad com
petely informed as to its plans af.
rccuug dispatch ana disposition in
such matters through information
Gained from sources other than its
representative in the war zone"
Admiral Sims said he was not in
sensible TO the splendid work done
by the navy at large, or the various
bureaus and ether offices Of tho navy
department. His statements were di-
iocted almost entirely" to pointing
out defects in the administration of
the navy department during the first
fec months of the war, he said.'
Admiral Sims direct testimony fill
cd nearly 200 large printed pages and
it took him nearly 16 hours to read
it. His cross.eXammation by mem
bers of the committee probably will
be started Friday, after which mem.
hcrs of his staff will be heard before
ecretary Daniels and officials OF the
navy dcnartment are called.
