Madison Wisconsin State Journal (Newspaper) - May 16, 1920, Madison, Wisconsin Duri no the week the naval investigation has Boon to the fore awl for the first time Secretary Daniels has in timbered his heavy artillery. The spectacle has suggested some two listed Dempsey in a Marquis of Queensbury work out with Little Lam Fauntleroy. From the outset Sims has played a role bound to seem Small to the average citizen. There is a kinship Between divulging confidential communications and opening another a letters that probably has not escaped the Public. The Gist of Secretary Daniels comeback is to show the Workings of Sims deep seated Anglo mania which the seer fury urges with some Force impelled him to credit the British Navy with achievements of Tho american fleets to follow British Over caution in the face of urgent appeals from the president for innovation and audacity required by an exceptional situation and in general to indulge in an attitude of carping criticism of America s War enterprises to the disadvantage of his own country and in contempt of citizens. Daniels quotes effectively from Sims own testimony to refute the latter charge that our Quot naval delays prolonged Tho War at the coat of half a million Allied troops. Incidentally computation shows that i terms estimate of .100,000 men unnecessarily lost based upon monthly averages of his own deduction i sacs i the actual total to be derived therefrom by nearly two Hundred thousand. One feels that Admiral Hima knows his multiplication tables and that the exaggeration must have been Dellbert ate. Perhaps this affords a general j idea of the average value of the Admiral s statements. That Sims wanted to make the american army and Navy Mere auxiliaries of the British land and naval forces that he held up the North sea mines which eventually cornered the Gorman submarines that to make a 1point against Tho Secretary of the Navy he relied upon a cablegram the signatures to which the records show to Hove been forged that cablegram j. Signed by Sims More than two years i ago contradict portions of his testimony and that or lagged in every of -5 fort to smash British precedent and rope with new problems in new ways is Tho summary of the evidence piled up by Secretary Daniels. Kim will be on the defensive from now on. A a a affairs in Europe this week Are not of vast importance.
