" WASHINGTON, May 21.—The United States had a plan for war with Germany prior to America's entrance Into the world war. Secretary of Navy Daniels stated today before the senate subcom- j mlttee investigating charges against the conduct of the war by the navy. “The navy had detailed plans for war with all possible enemies,” Daniels declared. "Did you have a plan for Germany” Chairman Hale, republican of Maine, asked. “We did,” Daniels said. “Did you have a plan for possible war j with England?” Hale continued. “I decline to discuss anything concern- | lng a country with which we are frlenaly,” Daniels declared. DEOLINE6 TO DISCUSS S QUESTION. "Were you kept posted as to the policy of the government's ever changing foreign policies between 1913 and 1914?” Hale asked. •“The relation of the president to the cabinet and the questions reviewed and discussed by the cabinet are not to be ! divulged." Daniels replied. Traditions and rules of the navy wero violated by Admiral Sims in the making of charges against the navy department. Secretary Daniels told the committee. “I am pleased that the charges were made public since they have not been substantiated,” Daniels declared. "That is a question for the committee to decide,’’ Chairman Hale declared. RESOLVES INTO HALE BEING CROSS-QUIZZED. The cross-examination of Daniels resolved into a cross-examination of Chairman Hale, when Secretary Daniels questioned the facts outlined by Chairman Hale and as Hale read charges made by Sims. “Admiral Sims did not cast reflection on the navy, but those In charge of the navy,” Hale declared. "Ton can not make a criticism of the navy department without criticising the navy.” Daniels Interjected. rules of the navy department prohibit, reflections upon one officer by another. “Admiral Sims made the personal charge that officers of the navy department lacked the will to win and that Admiral Benson was anti-British,” Daniels charged.
