DELAYS WERE DUE TO SIMS, SAYS DANIELS Secretary Asserts Barrage Idea Originated in U. S. Navy Department and Was Fought by Admiral. believedIhTbritains

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 11. A counter charge that establishment of the North Sea mine barrage was delayed six months because of the opposition of Rear-Admiral Sims and the British admiralty, -was made before the senate naval investigating committee today by Secretary Daniels in presenTing the second part of his reply to the officers' charges that the navy department had unnecessarily prolonged the war through failure to co-operato fully at first with allied 11 aval forces. The barrage, Mr. Daniels added, was the most effective measure that had been taken to check the submarines and was wholly an American idea. The secretary also charged that Sims had attempted in his testimony to rob the navy of credit for this project and to give- it to the British. Urged for Long Time This plan was conceived, he said, in the bureau of ordnance at tho navy department and urged on the British admiralty for six months before it was accepted. During this time Admiral Sims constantly discouraged and opposed the idea, he added, and when Admiral Mayo was sent abroad and finally convinced the admiralty of the worth of the scheme and the necessity for adopting it. Admiral Sims attempted to convey the impression that the project had been delayed while the British attempted to get the American navy department's approval. "Admiral Sims attempted to rob America and the United States navy .f the credit for initiating this great achievement and to give you the impression that it was a British plan which our navy merely assisted in carrying out though it originated in the navy department, was proposed and urged by us for half a year bei i i J 41 niil.L .1 lore we couia inauce lue orjiisii aumiralty to approve it and although four fifths of it was composed of i - a American mines designed and constructed in America and transported 3.400 miles over seas and laid by American vessels," Mr. Daniels told the committee. He said close comradeship had existed between the American and British navies during the war, despite Admiral Sims attempts to create the impression that there was lack of harmony and cooperation. Prepared, He Says The Sims charges of unpreparedness before the war were not justified. Mr. Daniels asserted, declared that on July 15, he ordered the general board to study and recommend plans for a consistent and progressive development. As a result of this study the policy was evolved, he said, that the United States must by 1925 have a navy equal to any other in the world. He approved this policy and the direct result was the five year building program of 1916, the secretary said, an "epoch-making measure." President Wilson fully approved the policy, the witness asserted. "This is conclusive evidence that the navy department long before war was declared was alive to the importance of preparedness and was taking every step toward that end, he declared. The vision of the president, Mr. Daniels asserted, established the fact that he was "In advance of some officers, vocal now, but silent then".

IS CARRANZA TAKEN? QUERY IN U-S.J0DAY President of Mexico Either in Hiding or Fighting Wfth Back to Wall Revolters Ask U. S. Recognition. DREADNAUGHf IS READY (By Associated Press) While the advices, coming through from Mexico on the revolutionary situation are fragmentary and conflicting, they cast considerable doubt on the report that President-Garranza has been made a prisoner. A Vera Crui dispatch from the newspaper. El Dichamen, a member of the Associated Press, bearing Monday's date, declared the fugitive president of the republic, who was making an effort to reach Vera Cruz, had broken through the revolutionary lines and was standing At bay with 4.000 men at San Marcos, 27 miles north of Puebla. On the other hand, the revolutionary leaders along the border are still claiming that Carranza has been made a captive. Is in Precarious Pass. It would appear, however, even presupposing the accuracy of tne reports that Carranza is still at liberty, that

the situation he finds himself n, according to the Vera Cruz advices. Is precarious. It is announced that .government troops in Vera Cruz have deserted their commander and gone over to the revolutionists, making that state apparently no longer a safe refuge for the fugitive president. Mexico dispatches report the situation there as quiet, with troops of General Obregon in full possession. All Mexico, in fact, with the exception of a few localities, notably the states of Yucatan, Campacne and Chiatas, is declared to be in the hands of the revolutionists. Very Little Bloodshed. The overturn has been effected with little bloodshed, all advices indicate. It is declared in Mexico City that the object of the revolutionists all along h?s been to avoid fighting and bringing about a peaceful change of governments with free elections to be held later. Incidentally, it is asserted the revolutionary leaders desired to bring" about a change in the Mexican foreign policy, looking to the advancement of friendly relations with the other powers. NOGALES. Ariz., May 11. Cordial invitation to foreign business men, especially Americans to come to Mexico and engage in trade and to Mexican ex-patriates to return to their native land was extended today in a statement issued by Emiliano Tabez, commercial agent for the Liberal constitutionalist party at Nogales. Senor Tamez said he was speaking for the revolutionary government. "Foreign business men can come to Mexico with full confidence that in all sections controlled by the new government they will enjoy all assurances protection and facilities they may require for the full success of their undertakings," Senor Tamez said. "The rebellion initiated by the government of Sonora, in the legitimate defense of its sovereignty, offers to the Mexican nation a great example of virility and energy which of necessity has brought an echo of sympathy and frank adhesion from most of the states of the republic. "While it is true that this rebellion in its incipiency and in its development has of necessity had a military character it is also true that it is essentially a civil movement supported by the public opinion of the entire country which this time has applauded without reserve and accepted with fullness of heart the armed contest, the object of which is the defense of principles and rights threatened by President Carranza. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 11 The revolutionary government in Mexico will ask for immediate recognition by the American government. With practically all of Mexico dominated by revolutionists and Carranza reported held a prisoner, official interest here shifted today from the military phases of the situation to the expected political developments. The agents of the defacto rulers professed to believe steps would be taken at once, towards the establishment of a provisional government fo be succeeded as soon as possible by a constitutional regime. Reports received through official channels as well as those sent to the revolutionary agents continue to indicate absence of serious disorders although the despatch of a battleship and additional destroyers to southern waters suggested that the determination of this government to afford the foreigners protection in the event of serious trouble at any of the port towns. While officials here considered the revolutionary movement as too untried for judgment, the impression was manliest tnat lor a time at least it would not have to face the usual counter revolution. Villa, who defied Carranza so successfully, was reported to have made peace with the winners; Manuel Palaez, ruler of the oil regions was said to have joined in the movement without reservation and there remained no outstanding rebellious figure. The possibility however, that some one of Carranza's loyal officers might fill the role of rebel was suggested although revolutionary agents asserted its improbability. Communication between Mexico City and Vera Cruz by land telegraph was restored yesterday. A private message received here today from Mexico City via this line and cable said all wan quiet in the Mexican, capcontinued on Page Three)
