American Naval Man Tells United
Press Has No Reason to Bc.
IIeve Cables Carried
Wrong impression
IRISH POLITICIANS ARE
RESPONSIBLE, HIS VIEW
Trying to STIR up Trouble Sims De-
eIares; penby's Cable not re.
eeIved by Sims Early
Today he States

by iHlteu ffeSA.
London, June 81 have no reason
to believe that am misquoted In
the cable account OF my speech be-
fore the English Speaking union."
Admiral Sims told the United Press
today
Admiral Sims stated that he had
not received the cable sent TO him
by Secretary of the Navy DENLY.
In which the United States secrc.
tary asked II the anti Sim Fein
quotations of his speech were cor
rect.
u presume that the Irish politi.
clans In the United States arc trying
to stir up trouble,' fhe admiral said.
Secretary Denby's cable 70 Adj
miral Sims was made public shortly
afterward. II was prepared certain
ly with the presidents knowledge
and sanction. and presumably at his
direction
II have read with amazement cor-
tain extracts from a speech purport-
ed to have been made by you In
addressing the English Speaking I'm
ion at luncheon in London June
T." Secretary Denby's cable reads.
Tho secretary's message then
quotes that portion OF the admirals
speech In which he described Irish
sympatbzers here as technical Am
ericans," charged them with placing
distractions in the way of the allied
naval forces during the war and
denounced them as asses"
The extract, as quoted by the Soc
retary, follows:
81 do not want to touch on the
Irish question, for | know nothing
about it. But there are many in our
country who technically are Ameri-
cans, some of them naturalized and
some born there, but none of them
Americans at all. They are Ameri-
cans when they want money but
Sim Feiners when on the platform.
They are making war on America
today. The simple truth Of it is
that they have the blood of Brit
ish and American boys on their
hands for the distractions they plac-
ed In the way of the most effective
operation of the allied naval forces
during the war. They are like Ze-
bras, either black horses with white
stripes, or white horses with black
stripes. But we know they are not
are asses. But each
OF .nese asses has a vote, and there
are lots OF them
"You are quoted" Secretary Den
by's message next points out, "as
having advised the British to ignore
any resolution forced by these jack
ass votes'
The admlral's advocacy of an in
ter-English-speaking policy which
he said would run this round globe
is quoted as follows:
"The Irish question is partly an
American question. Eleven years
ago made a prophecy that came
true. I will venture on another now.
The speaking peoples are
together in the bands of COM
radeship and they are going to run
this round globe. | should IKE 10
see an inter -English-speaking policy
and when we have that we shall have
peace and prosperity"
The secretary's message concludes
with an order couched in the fewest
possible words that Admiral Sims
shall instantly admit the remraks at
tributed to him, or make adequate
explanation.
"You will inform the department
by cable" the message
saws. whether or not you were cor
rectly quoted and made such state
ments at the time and place in ques-
tion"
