DANIELS TO GET HIS INNINGS AT NAVAL HEARING Simsf Evidence on Charges of Misconduct of War Totals 250,000 Words. SENSATION PREDICTED WASHINGTON*. April 2.—With the completion of Admiral William S. Sima’ case against the navy'department, which has been going on for weeks before the subcommittee of the senate committee on naval affairs, the investigation today started in on its last phase, namely, the presentation of Secretary Josephus Daniels’ case. Among the witnesses to be heard are Rear Admiral Rodman, Rear Admiral Nlblack, Rear Admiral Straus and other high officials of the navy. Friends of the secretary predict sensational developments before the testimony is all In. The testimony of Admiral Sirng. with that of witnesses called by him and the documents offered In evidence, amounts to about 250,000 words. CHARGES SU MMARIZED t NDER 14 HEADS. The complete list of charges made by rhe admiral against the navy depart ment may he summarized as follows: The navy was not ready for service when the United States entered the war, in spite of/the fact that the war had been going on for nearly three years and our entry imminent from Feb. 2, 1917. TU success of enemy submarines made the first few months after onr entry extremely critical ones for the allies. This situation was made clear to the navy departmentFor three months after our entry into the war the department supplied Sims with no plans nor policy. Knowing of the critical situation the navy department delayed assistance. FAILED TO. APPRECIATE MILITARY VALUE OF TIME. The department failed to appreciate the anilitary value of time. Fundamental principles were violated by the department which tried to formulate war plans without sufficient knowledge of the situation. Sims was not supported by the department during the most critical period of the war through the sending of aids and adequate forces. The department dispersed forces instead of concentrating them In the critical area. The department attempted to direct details from Washington when the war was 3.000 miles away and conditions changing daily. NEVER CERTAIN OF HIS RESPONSIBILITY. The department did not clearly define the responsibility or' delegated authority of Sims, thus violating both a business and military principle, -By controlling operations of certain forces within the war area, the department violated the fundamental military principle of unity of command. The department failed to keep Sim informed as to its plans and often reached decisions through information gained elsewhere. The delays of the navy departprolonged the world war four caused the loss of 2,500.1X10 of shipping. live* and need I*** expenditure of billion* dollars.

RAILROADS MAY USE VAST LOAN TO BUY CARS Harding Sees Indication That Bulk of $300,000,000 Will Be Taken. WASHINGTON, April 2.—Need by railroads of cars and locomotives Is so great that practically all of the $300,000,000 revolving fund, set aside by congress for loans to the carriers, can be used for that type of equipment. Gov. Harding of the federal reserve board, charged by congress with the duty of passing upon the security offered for railroad loans, stated today that no applications for loans have been passed upon, but that indications pointed to the bulk of the money being used for additions to car and locomotive equipment. GOVERNOR NAMES THREE ON ADVISORY BOARD. Appointment of Paul M. Warburg, F. A. Delano and Bradley W. Palmer as members of the railway advisory loan commission was announced by Gov. Harding. Secretary of Treasury Houston, in approving the appointment of the commission. said Its personnel had agreed to serve In that capacity without salary. The commission will advise Secretary Houston and the federal reserve hoard concerning security offered by the carriers on loans secured under the new railroad law.

The question of how far the public convenience will be served In Improvements contemplated by loans made under this fund Is regarded by the board as one of utmost Importance In deciding these loans. There exists no doubt that the entire fund will be exhausted In the rush of the carriers to augment their present equipment to meet Increased Industrial demands.
