were laid before the senate naval

retary Daniels, with the full con- j

WASIIINGTON, May ii. uear au-(
miral Sims' "fallacious and baseless" ;
charges that the navy department de-
lays prolonged the war four months
unnecessarily was "practically the
only charge of unfavorable results
from the many alleged sins of omis
sion and commission," tho officer had
ascribed to the department, Secretary
Daniels today told the senate naval in
vestigating committee. It was fully
refuted, ho added, by the admiral's
own testimony.
Admiral Sims based his estimate of,
an unnecessary loss of 500.000 lives on
an average loss for the allies of three!
thousand men a day, Mr. Daniels said, i
"The loss of 3000 men a day for
four months falls short of half a mil
lion," the secretary declared.
Sims' Reasoning.
The adriiiral based the chargo on
the assumption that had there been a
million American soldiers in France
by March. 1918. the war would have
ended four months sooner, Mr. Danlgls
said, and completed the reasoning by
assuming the tonnage losses of 1917 j
prevented carrying that number oft
troops overseas by that date and that !
failure of the American navy to co- j
operate heartily in tho first months of
tho war resulted in the heavy ton
nage losses.
Fallacy of Claim.
"It is not necessary to wander far
Into the realm of statistics or techni
cal questions to show the absolute fal
lacy of Admiral Sims' claims" Mr.
Daniels said. "He informed the com
mittee that the net tonnage available
for the allies May 1. 1917, was 27,000,-1
000 tons. It is a matter of common i
knowledge that on May 1. 1918 the
tonnage was less than on May 1, 1917.1
Testimony given by Admiral Simsj
would indicate that the net loss dur-i
ing the year was abput two million
tons. This is probably a sufficiently
close estimate for practical purposes.
Now then, owing to the tonnage losses
of 1917 and the early part of 1918 the
I net tonnage available to the allies had
I been reduced from 27,000,000 on May
j 1, -to 25,000,000 on May 1, 1918.
I Shipment of Troops.
Yet it is admitted by Admiral Sims
j that in the spring of 1918 American
: troops were transported to Franco at
the rate of nearly 300,000 a month, or
more than ton times the rate to which
he said transportation had been re
stricted in 1917 because of the destruc
tion of tonnage. This simple fact re
futes absolutely Admiral Sims' state
ment that the tonnage losses of 1917
made it 'impossible to transport any
I considerable American army' and made
it 'necessary to limit tho number of
American troops that could he sent
abroad during tho first year to an av
erage of approximately 25,000 men per
month.'
There never was a time, the witness
said, when tonnago was not available
to carry troops and supplies to Franco
as fast as they could bo landed a'nd
transported to tho front
"As a matter of fact the American
army shortened tho war," said Secre
tary Daniels. "It got to tho front as
soon as it was humanly possible, not
by a chance but as a result of careful
plans involving complete cooperation
botweon the army and navy, carefully
carried out."
