Admiral Jellicoe and others and that all had assured him of their cordial assent 10 any proposals the United States would be likely to make.
 READY TO TELL SECRETS
 MT. Page recommended that we send a United States admiral to London to whom the British admiralty would com municate all the inside information as to British plans and methods of operation. All the doors would be opened to him, he said, and sort of special staff as- signed to give him the results of the whole naval work since the war began Many things, he thought, which could not be committed safely to writing could be disclosed in this way.
 The President directed that word should be conveyed at once to Ambassa- dor Page of the purpose of the United States to avail itself of this proposal
 The ships passenger list showed the name, among others, of Mir. s. w. Da- vidson." By this name the gentleman had been known to his travelling compan- ions. It may be questioned if any ot them had suspected that he was other than an American citizen, engaged in some matter of urgent private business. which induced him to run risks at a time when nobody was sea voyaging who lacked the compelling motive of duty or necessity.

 Chairman W. w. Bond declared after the close of todoys session that no statement would be issued at this time for fear of endangering the result.

procedure. and finally emerged from the grip of officialdom, to take train for London.
 Within 24 hours after his arrival he was closeted in the British capital with the highest authorities in the British ad- miralty.
 Then his disguise was cast aside. and he appeared in his proper person as Rear Admiral w. S. Sims of the United States navy.
 When Admiral Sims reached London we were already in the war
 The news of action on the part of the Congress reached him while he was still at sea. He had left under orders in an- ticipation of the impending decision, and the story of how we came to send him is one of the most interesting chapters in the earlier stages of our participation
 When the diplomatic break had been made with Germany it was evident that no long period could intervene before we would find it necessary to assume the role of a belligerent The President was anxious that in such event the navy should be ready to do it's part without a moments s delay. In every detail of prep aration within the power of the Secretary of the Navy's department, and the off cers of the navy, it had been ready for weeks. But it was essential that there
 
 the allied powers, and particularly with the navy authorities of Great Britain, before it's preparedness could be utilized effectively.
 Thus we planned to establish early liason with the British admiralty, so that our navy department might be kept thor oughly informed as to developments and contemplated undertakings. The British and French, naturally, had been most seoretive. While our neutrality continued they would not have been justified in re- vealing any of their secrets. Our naval attache in London had sent us much in formation-all, in fact that the British would permit any neutral nation to ob- tain-but until it was evident that we were about to enter the war the things of vital moment were guarded jealously.
 IMPORTANT WORK AT HOME
 The original intention was to send Ad- miral Henry B. Wilson, now commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, and one of the most able and resourceful officers in the American navy. But this intention had to be abandoned at the last moment, owing to the discovery of a perilous sit uation nearer home which called for his immediate service
 Admiral Wilson was at that time com manding the U. s. S. Pennsylvania. When, following the break in relations, we took a survey of the situation, we realized that if we went to war an im-

IN TOUCH WITH BRITAIN
 And so the President decided that it was the part of wisdom to discover dis creetly the thought and plan of the Brit ish admiralty, in order that our co-opera- ton might be of kind to deal the enemy the hardest possible blow.
 In March l got into communication with the British admiralty through Am bassador Walter H. Page, and on March z2, 1917, he sent a message saying:
 MT. Balfour Ghen first lord of the ad- miralty) has shown me the informal sug- gestion conveyed by the navy department regarding closer relations and his re- ply"
 MT. Page said MT. Balfour had assured him the British government would fall in heartily with any plan which the United States should propose as soon as relations could be established. Mir. Page further said he had discussed the matter with Mir. Bonar Law the prime minister;

 Of Admiral Benson and his work, Ad. miral Sims said: T have always had the best possible personal relations with Ad- miral Benson. I regard him as an up- standing and honest man, who has ex- ceedingly strong convictions and who is very firm in adhering to those convic- tons. l believe everything he has done during the war has been done conscien- uously and to get along with the war.
 In view of this statement and the known fact that Admiral Benson and everybody else in the navy earnestly CO., operated with the British, and that Ad- miral Benson played a large part in per fecting this cooperation before Admiral Sims reached London. I think there IS no occasion for any further allusion to this remark. It went up like a rocket. 1t came down like a stick
