SIMS SAYS SUBS SPARED TROOPS ‘Horrified’ by Peril From Naval Gossip, He Testifies. WASHINGTON, March 15.—Negligence by the navy department In protecting troop transports early In the war was virtually charged today by Rear Admiral William S. Sims, resuming his testimony in the senate naval Inquiry. Sims declared he was “horrified” at the lack of precautions discovered concerning troop movements and asserted that the first transports reached France safely largely through “good luck.” Society women at social gatherings in Paris knew 1 of troop sailings (before naval officials and Gen. Pershing were aware of them, Sims declared. Sims declared the navy department used an outworn peace-time code even after he warned that the Germans knew the key.
