RAPS LACK OF POLICY

Investigation by the subcommittee
of the Senate Committee or. Naval
Affairs of the conduct of the United
, States navy during the war was be-
gun yesterday with the testimony
of Rear Admiral William s. Sims.
who reiterated his charge that the
wavering policy of the Navy De-
partment at the outbreak Of the
war was responsible for the pro-
longation of the conflict and the
loss of thousands OF lives.
Admiral Sims took occasion In
addition, however. to soften some
what the original Indictment con-
tanned in his letter of January to
Josephus Daniels, Secretary OF the
Navy. His condemnation of the
navy. he said, dealt only with Its
conduct just prior to our entry into
the war and during at most the
first year. and not with the work
accomplished in 1919;
More Pro-French Than British.
Taking up the charge that he had
been pro-British and said that he
might more justly be accused of
having been pro-French, but that
mis- work was often hampered by the
apparent lack of confidence shown
in him by the Navy Department.
The meat of the matter was ex-
pressed by Admiral Sims yesterday
in the following passage from his
preliminary statement:
From a United States naval
standpoint the prosecution of the
war involved numerous violations of
we'll recognized and fundamental
military principles with which ev-
cry student of naval warfare is ia
miliar.
Briefly stated they were:
First. Unpreparedness.
Second. That we entered IL with
no well considered policy or slans
and with our forces on the sea not
in the highest state of readiness.
Policy of vacfIIation.
Third. That. owing to the above
conditions, and to the lack of prop
er Organization of our Navy De-
partment. we failed for at least six
months TO throw our full weight
against the enemy; that during this
period we pursued a policy of vacil-
lation or, in simpler words, a
hand-to-mouth policy.
My sole object in submitting my
letter to the department was not
to demonstrate who was right and
who was wrong, but rather to in
sure SO thorough an appreciation
of errors before time had obscured
them that the chances of repeating
them would be minimized, IL not
eliminated in the future"

How Railroads Retard Trade

loans tied UP through the congestion
one step closer to liquidation, instead
OF Immediately liquidating them, the
vice e-president Of one of the large ship
pers takes exception 81 do not think
this freight congestion is being over
done the least bit as far as bank
credits are concerned" he writes in
letter to the financial editor. For
example, our company (Which is re-
tail distributor) normally has goods
in transit aggregating about 100000.
To-day, due to freight conditions. this
amount is s2,soo,ooo, which, you see, IS
seven times the normal These goods
are bought and paid for and mostly
shipped from our warehouses. If they
could be delivered to our retail stores
promptly we would quickly liauidate

would do good if some publicity were
given to the way business is tied up
now on account of the railroad situa-

Stocks Despite Impend-

Oil Group Is Stronger

Despite the impending three-day
holiday in the financial district, de-
mand for stocks was fairly strong
on the curb market yesterday and
several industrials showed improve
ments. United States Steamship ad-
vanced sharply, touching 2A and Gen
eral Asphalt moved up steadily.
The oil group was also fairly active,
with strength in several stocks. Carib
Syndicate regained a point and Simms
was in good demand for time, but
later offerings increased and forced
fractional recession. White Oil moved
up about 12 a point, and producers and
Refners was stronger. Guffey- Giles
pie was stronger, registering an ad-
vance of Il. Midwest Refining was
firm. The company declared an extra
dividend of 81 in addition to the regu-
lar quarterly dividend of 81 share.

Frankfort Bonds ReIisted

Nearly year and half after the
United States entered the war against
Germany some one on the Stock Ex-
change discovered that an issue of the
City Of Frankfort bonds had the privi-
lege of trading. AS these bonds were
in mark denominations, the governing
committee voted on September &c, 1918,
to strike them from the list. Yester-
day they were relisted, although the
peace treaty with Germany has not
yet been signed by this government.
The Frankfort bonds were sold in this
country in 1901 by Speyer & Co. The
original issue was 15,000,000 marks,
but through the operation of a sinking
fund the amount outstanding has been
reduced to 1O,668,00O marks. The bonds
have never had an active market here
and this probably accounts for the fact
that the exchange was so tardy in
striking them from the list.

American Vanadium

Fresh buying activity developed in
Vanadum yesterday upon the an
nouncement that engineers of the COM
pany have discovered fresh ore deposits
on the South American properties,
which, it was stated, would furnish
supplies for an indefinite period. Up
to the present time it has been esti-
mated that the corporations supply of
vanadium ore had life of about
twenty years. ]. Leonard Replogle,
president, is scheduled to sail for Eng
land on the Mauretania to-day and it
is believed that while abroad he v(n
make arrangements for the allotment
Of a larger amount of vanadium to
Europe Owing to the scarcity of the
metal only a small amount is now be-
ing shipped abroad and the company
is giving domestic requirements prac-
tically all it's attention.

U. S. SteePs Earnings
Although the results Of the opera

June quarter will not be made public
for nearly month current estimates
of net earnings, based on the showing
of the smaller companies for that
period, run as high as S50,OOO,0OO. This
compares with SAP 100000 for the three
months ended March 31s and if esti-
mates are borne out by the actual fig
ures. would be the best quarter for
two years. Net earnings of $50,OOOOO
would also be at the rate of about $50
a share for the common stock. In
provement in the Steel's Corporation
income for the March quarter would
be a noteworthy development in view
of the fact that deliveries were re-
tarded by the lack of transportation
facilities, although it is believed that
the company has not been so hard hit
in this respect as some of its smaller
competitors
