Claims Destroyers and Con

Waste Much Fuel.
By Associated Press :

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. April 5.-Vice
Admiral Sims employment OF Am
erican destroyer forces in European
waters during the first year OF this
country's participation in the war
was severely criticized Monday by
Admiral Henry B. Wilson, COM
mander Of the Atlantic fleet. in tes-
timony before the naval board in
vestigating Rear Admiral Fletcher 5
removal from the Brest command
by Admiral Sims.
Disagrccs With Testimony.
Basing of all destTOyers used in
conveying American troops and sup
ply transports into French ports on
Queenstown instead Of Brest uL TO
the spring Of 1918, Admiral Wilson
declared. meant that the destroyers
worked only one way and wasted
mileage" IN the long trip back to
Queenstown for refueling. II orig
inally based at Brest. he declared,
these destroyers could have worked
both ways" conveying transports
out as well as into the French
ports. and thus made to render
their maximum service, as was
demonstrated some eight months
later. he added, when this plan was
permitted.
Disagreeing with the testimony Of
Capt. Byron c. Long. Sims aide for
operations at London, who said Ad-
miral FletCher'S request that de-
troyers be based on Brest was de-
MED because of a lack Of ohing IA
cilities there, Admiral Wilson de-
clared that at the time he sue
ceeded Fletcher. facilities at Brest
were adequate "for quite a large
force"
Conveys Worthless.
Admiral Wilson declared the five
converted yachts which ii was test-
fed had been the only force avail
able for outward convoy Of trans
ports during Admiral Fletcher 5
command at Brest were worthless
for that service.
Capt y. G. Twining. counsel for
Admiral Sims, questioned the wit
ness competency TO pass judgment
upon the adequacy OF Admiral
Fletcher's force when you were not
acquainted in detail with what he
had to do with IT."
"I need no details" replied Ad-
niral Wilson. Il know that he had
20 escort troop ships 20 sea and that
he had only a worthless foSce TO do
Il with. There is no question under
heaven about his forces having been
inadequate because I had to suffer
under the same thing for months.
Testifying that he took three
staff officers and a considerable Of
fee force with him TO Brest, Al
mlral Wilson declared that he
found practically nothing TO work
with" IN the Bres1 organization
when he got there.
