''UNINFORMED
AND WANTON''
Rear-Admiral Sims Charge
So Declared by Secre-
tary Daniels
II. S. NAVY HAD PLANS
YEARS BEFORE WAR
General Board Had Pre-
pared for Battle in the
Atlantic Ocean

Washington, D. C., May l5,--Sec-
retary Daniels to-day attacked Rear
Admiral Sims charge that the navy
department lacked plans and otherwise
was uuprepared for war. The charge
was "uninformed and wanton,' he told
the Senate naval investigation com
mittee. Testimony of Rear Admiral
Badger and other members Of the gen.
era. board had proved such statements
unfounded, he said.
For wears before the war, he said,
the general boar dwas engaged in pre-
pairing and revising plans for battle IN
the Atlantic. Admiral Dewey studied
the situation from the outbreak OF the
European war and in March, 1915. for
warded a statement of preparation nee
essary to put the department in readl-
ness for war, Mr.. Daniels said, and the
navy department followed the Dewey
outlines as far as appropriations would
permit.
Several witnesses having no first
hand knowledge of the navy's part III
the World war attempted to show by
going back as far "a 1915 that the navy
before the war failed in preparation
because the secretary and Congress did
not follow their advice in 1913 and
1914, Mr. Daniels added.
He reviewed his administration and
his recommendation to Congress from
1918 on. He told the committee that
when he assumed his post he found
the navy under President Taft had
fallen back, as the United State', hieh
had advanced to second place among
naval powers in 1907, dropped 10 third
i'm 1911.
Bet ween March. 1918. and Septem'
ber, 1916. the navy was increased IN
personnel, material and efficiency more
than in any similar peace period
in our history" said the secretary.
The pre.war attitude Of the United
States towards preparedness wa'
shown by President Rooseyelt's mes
sage to Congress in 1905, declaring that
st does not seem to me necessary that
the navy should-at least in the imme
siate future--4be increased beyond che
present number Of units" said Mr.
Daniels President Roosevelt anc
President Taft were both forced e
take the positions they did toward ma
val building by public opinion, the wit
ness said, adding that President vii
son was in advance of public opinion
when he sponsored the building pro
gram in 1916.

"the eternal rebel and General Guade-
loupe Sanchez, at the head of large
units OF revolutionary troops, an
Thursday were preparing for grand
attack. according to captain who ar
rived here yesterday from the scene
Of the fighting. Later dispatches in
dicated that Carranza feared this at
tack would be successful and he decided
- slip through the encircling lines Of
his enemies. leaving Generals MuTgis
and Uruuizo to meet the onslaught Of
the insurgents. Before taking refuge
in fight. he destroyed trains still held
BY his troops, with war material too
heavy TO be carried away.
Serious fighting has probably occur
red since Carranza left the battle zone

captured by attacking forces.

HOME DEMONSTRATION
DEPARTMENT FAVORED
Women of Washington County Plan
Drive And Name Committee of
Arrangement.

About 30 interested women of differ
ent communities in Washington county
gathered in the memorial room of the
city hall, Montpelier, yesterday, to
take action on the organization OF 2.
home demonstration department.
X. A. Briggs, county agent, intro
duced Miss Charlotte Pierpont state
home demonstration leader, who ex-
planned fully the nature of the work
of such a department and what 1t
would mean to the women in both the
cities and rural districts. She spoke
briefly of the work which home dem
onstration agents are doing in other
counties of the states, and further ex-
planned that the work actually comes
under four large divisions: Food,
clothing, household management and
sanitation. However, each communi-
tv has it's own sub divisions, accord
ing to the community's needs.
The topic, Food" includes canning,
the use of substitutes, the study of food
values, balanced rations, high school
lunches for the children, etc.
Clothing" consists in conservation
of materials, making over, fitting, max
ing patterns, forms, millinery and chill.
dren's clothes,
Household management" includes
the study of household expenditures,
the arrangement and making of house
hold equipment. Miss Pierpont said
that during the past three years, 1909
fireless cookers have been made and es-
tablished in that number OF homes IN
the state.
Sanitation means not only sanl-
tary conditions in the home, but also
everything which pertains to civic i'm
provement in a community. Whatever
work the home demonstration agent
will take up in each community de-
pends largely upon what the women in
each community want.
1t was further explained that to
start such an organization 300 mem
bers are necessary. Approximately
5000 must be raised by the county.
When this amount is secured, the state
and federal governments will furnish
from 81 200 to 81 800 to support such
department
AT the close Of Miss Pierpont's ex-
planation Ol tne Motks tue Notheh Wv
ed TO start drive to secure sufficient
membership. A committee OF three
was elected to have charge of the ar
rangements for the drive, the quota OF
members from each community was
appointed and one or more women
| from each community were delegated
TO act as chairman of the drive in
their community.
The committee in charge Of arrange
ments is a. follows: Mrs. {. A. Badger
of East Montpelier, chairman; Mrs. ID.
| L. Jones Of Waterbury, and c. L. Slack
OF Berlin.
The organization Of home demon
stration department in thi county
should mean better home life on the
| farm and in the city.
