First taking up Admiral Sims
jackass' speech of Tuesday night
regarding Sim Fciners in the United
States, Senator Harrison urged the
senate naval affairs committee to act
promptly on the resolution directing
it to investigate the Sims speech.
His sreech was an outrage for
such high officer to deliver" said
Mr.. Harrison, and if the secretary
of the navy takes no action after re-
! ceivinP the renort from Admiral Sims
that he has asked for, | hope that
congress will take some action"
Mr. Harrison then took up Mr..

minds Of senator's"
Mr. Harvey, Mr. Harrison said. "in-
suited not only part of the American
people, as Admial Sims did, but all
true Americans by his statement that
the United States went into the war
solely to save ourselves.
Secretary of the Navy DENLY at
once cabled Admiral Sims for an ex-
nlanation," said Mr., Harrison, "but
nobody thus far has called Mr.. Har-
Vey down or even cabled him to ex-
plain. hope Senator Mccormick,
whose influence caused the navy de-
partment to act in the Sims case, will
use his great influence to have his
friend. the secretary of state, or his
othe~ friend, President Harding, even
at this late date cable Mr.. Harvey
for an explanation of his gross insult
to all Americans"

Harvey to President Wilson in Nav,

telegram called Wilson's message "a
great message of patriotism. For the
nation it Is Plorious, for patriots in
spring, for the president noble"
we ought to get rid of such men
as Admiral Sims in the navy" Har-
rison continued.
Referring to Mr.. Harvey, he said:
"He ought to be recalled because
he will make misstatements as long
IS he continues to stay there and will
bring disgrace upon this country"
