Admiral films declared that the whole

trouble,

tlio committee voted 3 to 2 for proceed

Iliad not recommended any enlisted men
for decorations, the chief reason being
.that tho bulk of the navy did no fighting
jind did not come Into contact with tho
enemy, and that In tho branch which did,
tho air service, It was tie pilots, who
i are all commissioned men, who angaged
I In battle.
"I didn't have a war to fight," Admiral
Clms explained, "Wo might bo compared
to motor lorries trying to get men and
, supplies across safely. Wo didn't have
any naval warfaro becausu the cnom;
wouldn't come out and fight."
As to men who lost their ships In en

This Admiral einis took as a direct re

A
Attncksj Censorship,
Admiral Sims reviewed Iho history ot
tho controversy which becamo known
to tlio publio througlt a letter ho wrote
Secretary Daniels December 17. Ho had
previously tafcorr tho matter up with
Daniels (and tho Knight board In an
effort td sottlo tho controversy within
tho navy, he told the committee. In
a formal statement tlio Admiral do
ctoral that a form of censorship pre
vents constructive criticism from navy
officials and that as a result tho United
States Navy Is trailing other nations,
lie said:
"Wo aro alwayrt" considerably behind
llicm In this respect becauao our navy
laclta constructive criticism from the
publlo and necessarily m because our
naval officers aro forbidden to publish
anything without tho permission of. and
usually censorship by, the department.
Tills Is, to say the least,, a singular
lcgulatlon to bo enforced In a demo
cratic form ot Government, and the In
evitable result is that the American pub
lic kliows less about naval matters than
tho publio of any other considerable
maritime power, because the officers of
tho latter aro permitted, under certain
regulations, when not on duty to pub
lish any artlclo In criticism or sugges
tion which, in their Judgment, will be
of benefit to their service or their coun
try. A similar permission granted to
American naval officers would not only
be ot great benefit to tlio public nnd
the navy, but tho navy cannot attain
its maximum efficiency without it."
Admiral Sims explained that criticism
of naval awards does not proceed from
personal motives. Ho 'said:
"Nothing could bo further from the
truth, for In probably the nearly unani
mous opinion of tho officers of the navy
certain mistakes were' mado In the
awards In question which not only In
volve the minor matter of injustico to
individual offlcera hut thn miiii innrA
serloUH matter of tho vioiatlont the
military traditions of all navies as re
lated to the maintenance of the fighting
morale, without which military forces
can bo of little Use In war.
"I had no Intention of kicking up a
row nnd only sought to do my duty." i
He then read tho letter received from
Secretary Daniels, asking what reconf
mcndatlon was to be made for Com
mander liagley and his own reply.
Trusted Ills Inferiors,
He made frequent outspoken and sar
castic answers whloh brought laughter
from the crowded committee room.
ieores of wives and women relatives of
naval otHcers attended, following the
hearing closely and Interrupting fre
quently with laughter.
Denying reports that every member of
his London staff was recommended for
a medal Admiral Sims declared that out
of 202 offlcers on his ataff only nlnetoen
wcrO recommended. Out of the 5,000
ottlcers under hla command Admiral
Slrns recommended decorations for 440,
ho said, and of this number 21S were
approved without change In Washington.
Repeatedly tho Admiral paid Iilah
trlbuto to the men on his staff. He
mentioned the work of Commander J.
V, Babcock, who drew up the plans for
nvoying transports across the Atlantic
I Knew that If we had had any con-
Iderabia dlsaater to a troop transnort
i would Involve my neck," he explained
with a grin, "but nevertheless I dele
GatSd this matter to a member of my
staff, and so confident was X of his
ability that I never gave the matter a
moment's thought except when some
thing waa brought to me."
This officer, Commander Babcock,
was recommended for a Distinguished
Service Medal and got a navy cross, the
lower medal.
"There was no officor to whom the
peoplo owe so much." tho Admiral con
tinued, "t don't care a cent If tho Sec
retary had mado no other1 change, that
In itself was destructive of the morale.
Unifier the Last Straw.
"Take the case of tli Secretary's own
brother-in-law. Ho was recommendod
gulshed Service Medal, regardless of my
explanations that It would Injure morale.
When such recommendations as that
were made, regardless of my explana
tions that they would Injure the morale
of the service, you can imagine why)
morals has been shot to places, and why
tiicru in jiu uavy icu uiitl yvub wie lusi J
straw." ;
"Well, we heard that thero was no
navy left before the war," Senator Pitt-'
man Interrupted.
"You haven't got one now," Admiral
Sims rejoined.
Senator Plttman asked If "some one
besides the commanding officer shouldn't
decldo whether his staff is the greatest
, staff In the world."
f- "I never said my staff was the great
p. est staff In the world," Admiral Sims re
Jtvtorted. "That's not the way to get
along with this Investigation, either,'' he
added sharply, leaving Senators, accus
tomed to the obliging deference ot wit
aessef, aghast. Tho . audience mani
fested great enjoyment. "We who were
over there with the men saw them work
and sweat blood. Nobody sitting three
thousand miles away can Judge the
servjees they rendered."
"Don't you think it is wise to have a
board to review these matters?" asked
Senator Plttman.
"It's all right as long as they don't
review wrongly," tlio Admiral replied.
"But when they went over the recom
mendations they didn't even ask mo to
sco the list or call me in to give explana
tions that would have avoided this
troubls."
"The trouble Is that they didn't do
What yo!wantcd them to do. isn't It?"
asked Senator Tramrr.cll. "Wasn't th
Secretary absolutely within his rights In
revising tho list?)'
"He wan absolutely. Within ih rights,"
.;.Wmlral Sims agreed.

Women to Take Care ot 8,781 Ser
lilnn Children In Year,
Women of social promlncnco gathered
yesterday afternoon In tho ballroom of
tho Illtz-Carltoii id hear plans for the
adoption of at least 8,784 Serbian wnr
orphans during 1920. Tho meeting was
under tho auspices of tho National
Birthday Committee ot tho Serbian
Ch'd Welfare Association of America
and was directed by Mrs. Oliver Hard
man and Stanley Howe.
Mrs. Grace Burch Walkup and Will
iam 3. Doherty, commissioner ot the
organization in Serbia, told ot the want
nnd distress that ntust be alleviated with
American money,
To raise New York's quota a "god
mothers' cycle," with Mrs. Harrlman at
Its head, Is being' worked out. The plan
Is for New York women to volunteer as
godmothtrs of tho month, godmothers
of theweik and godmothers of tho day,
the first two classes to have general
supervision over tho sub-divisions, and
the last group to guarantee at least
twenty-four adoptions, or tlio money
therefor, dfctfng each woman's day of
activity, "rne slogan will be," an
nounced Mr. Howe, "ono Serbian orphan
adopted every hour of the year." At
birthday parties given by American
youngsters all presents will consist of
articles of clothing to bo forwarded to
Serbian children.
ToLenrn Hoir Trainmen Lire.
Washington, Jan. 16. Without de

tion by Senator Smith (Ga.), calling on
the Interstate Commerpo Commission to
investigate tho living conditions of train

U. S. TROOPS PRAISED
BY SOLDIER-ARTIST
capt. uatrnstather not in
Sympathy With Dry Lid.
Capt. Bruce Balrnsfathcr, the noted
cartoonist and wnr humorist,' began his
first American lecture tour at Carnegie
Hall last night with an Informal talk
on " 'Old Bill' nnd Me," In tho course ot
which ho told nn audience liberally com
posed ot English ofllccrs and men who
had seen service In the American Army
that it was ridiculous to attempt to ap
portion tho credit for winning tho wnr
either to tho British, the French, tho
Itnllans or the Americans,
"No part of the Allies," he said, "could
have done without the other part, and
we certainly couldn't have dqno without
you." He briefly explained his career
In tho army, merely to load up to tho
way in which he happened to start his
celebrated pictures, for ho said ha was
"sick of the war," and never did like
"this fighting with strangers." Ho re
lated how his first sketch, tho well
known "I wonder where that ono went
to?" camo into boln? out of the de&lro to
hreak tho sheer misery of duty In tho
front lino trenches.
OUicrs of his sketches wero thrown
on n screen, while the soldier-artist
mado amusing comments. Apparently
the. Imminence of prohibition tn this
country seemed to Irk him, for he said
that "If thcyd taken bad language and
run away from the British army It
never would havo had Ypreo." Then,
rpeaktng of his .belief that tho world
had reached a "better 'ole" and that a
new dawn was breaking over the nation,
ho said:
"Tho gold of a new dawn la In sight
for me. It's a. double whiskey and aoda
when I got back to Liverpool."
Among nil the armies with which ho
had stayed tho French, tho American,
the Italian and the British he said he
never had spent a hotter tlmo than
among our troops.

nounced In the Senate to-day during de
bate on n resolution calling on the Sec
retary ot the Treasury for Information

"Before the committee gets through
we expect to have tho facts as to
profiteering," said the Senator, "and I
seriously object to U3e of any general
statement by the Secretary of tho Treas
ury tending to glvo the Impression that
the operators aro profiteering unless the
report shows their losses,"
No action was taken on the resolution,
