WASHINGTON'. Jan. 21. "A good
many persona appear to have the no
tion that D. S. M. stands for "desk
eervice medah' They are mistaken",
it stands for 'deep sea medal.' "
This statement was made today by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels in con
nection with the controversy over the
award of distinguished service medals
and navy crosses to officers and men
of the navy. ,
"My feeling all along has been that
only those who have performed the
most distinguished , service ashore
should get the 'D. S. M- " added the
secretary.
V.e of Gag Denied.
Secretary Daniels' attention was
called to statements credited to Ad
miral Sims in a speech in New York
last night, demanding that the "gag"
be removed from naval officers so
they could1 criticise the administra
tion of the service.
"I have not observed that the
'gag' has affected Admiral Sims in
any appreciable degree," remarked
the secretary in reply to a question.
"Under the old system there were
two ways to handle officers who
think they know it all." he continued.
"One is to put a halter on them and
hold them. The other is to give them
sufficient rope and let them hang
themselves.
- "I believe there is a happy medium
omewhere. and I am going to f'.nd
it. I hall do nothing- along this line
for the present, pending the outcome
of the investigation into the navy's
conduct of the war."
"With regard to Admiral Sims re
mark about naval officers not wish
ing to have their grandchildren in
the future ask them. "Granddaddy,
"which ship did you lose in the world
war?" Mr. Daniels said:
More Casta Before Board.
"I have askea that question of
Lawrence and of Perry. In fact, it
might be asked of every man who
has done a great, courageous thing
why he had not done the impossible.'
Secretary Daniels said he is send
ins to the Knight board every day
one or more letters recommending
awards for officers or enlisted men
who have received no recognition up
to date. Some of these letters come
from commanding off icers, some from
junior officers, some from enlisted
men and others from civilians who
have learned of especially courageous
things done by. naval personnel dur
ins the war.
"I have sent no other communica
tion to the Knight board and have
not and shall not interfere in any way
with its work," he said. "All com
munications received, from whatever
source, bearing on awards will be sent
to the board for its consideration."
DAA1ELS REGARDED AS COOL
THE HAGUE, Jan. 21. (By the
Associated Press.) The reply of the
Dutch government to the demand of;
the allied powers that the former
German emperor be given up to them'
for trial is being drafted and will be
forwarded some time this week to the
Dutch minister at Paris for communi
cation to the allies. .
Although Holland is determined to
stick closely to the diplomatic prece
dent .and not publish or intimate the
text of the reply until it is delivered,
there is apparently no cause at pres
ent to. make any change in the pre
diction of the Dutch newspapers that
the Dutch government will decline
to accede to the demand.
The" Associated Press was Informed
today by a high official that the
former German emperor had been in
no. way consulted about the reply, nor
even officially informed of the 'de
mand for his extradition.
THE HAGUE. Jan. 21. The Nieuw
(jourant, in an editorial today, con
siders the possibility of. condemning
former Emperor William by default.
"It is a great pity that the allies
lack the moral courage to own that
they have made a mistake," says the
newspaper. "Giving a promise to try
the kaiser by default when Holland
shall have refused to permit his ex
tradition is nothing but sensational
humbug. The kaiser himself is not
dangerous, but he may be the tool of
others.
"If the allies could make" the Dutch
government see the danger of the
kaiser staying near the German fron
tier, another residence might be
assigned to him. the Dirtch govern
ment offering as an alternative his
return to Germany. This might be
asked without a preceding trial."
The Vaderland says:
"The Dutch government probably
will answer that it is her natural
duty to refuse extradition. It will
say that the government has no sym
patny with the kaiser but that it is
led by considerations of international
law and that the Dutch constitution
forbids extradition."

GIRL PUZZLE TO POLICE
"Aviatrlx" Thought to Be Lonj
Missing Miss DcKay.
ATLANTA, Ga.. Jan. 21. Dressed
in the masculine uniform of an avia
tor, a young-woman was held tonieht
by police who were frankly puzzled
as to whether she is Jeanne Anna
De Kay, missing protege of Jane
Addams of Hull house, Chicago.
The girl, in appearance, corresponds
to press descriptions of Miss De Kay
except that her hair is bobbed and
the word "Helen" is tatooed on her
arm. Under questioning today, police
said she first declared she knew Miss
De Kay and then said she was Miss
De Kay, but tonight denied it. News
paper men who .talked with her told
the same story. She first gave her
name as Jeanne De Louse, Belgian
widow of a French soldier.
The young woman was arrested on
Monday , because she was wearing
men's clothing on the streets, but she
asserted she was an aviatrlx and that
she merely happened to appear in
her uniform. She showed such a
knowledge of airplanes that she was
freed. Yesterday she was arrested
again and will be held pending def
inite identification.
British. Journalist Tells of Impres
sions of English People.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa., Jan. 21.-
(Special.) "At the- outset of Ameri
ca's entrance in the war and during
the trying months which followed, we
in England, felt that the patriotism
of- Secretary Daniels, or rather his
sympathy for the allied cause, was
very cool."
Cecil Roberts, noted British journal
1st, who was with Admiral Jellicoe
Admiral Ueatty and the Dover fleet
of the British navy during the war,
made this assertion in the course of
an interview today.
"I do not know what is behind th
present controversy at Washington
as concerns the navy department." h
continued, "but I would say that Ad
miral Sims made a deep impression in
London, both In official and unofficial
circles. He was the personification of
tact.
"We think of Hoover and Sims as
the two American officials who made
good in Europe and managed to keep
good. (
" ilson s stock is very row," he
said. "In January, 191S, he was wel
comed like a messiah in London, but
When he departed from France on the
George Washington he went amid
silent grief.
"We felt that he was playing a lone
hand and that astute politicians
around him were 'wiring' him. "Wir
ing" is a word we have which can be
best explained as playing him into
their hands."
ALBANT. N. T., Jan. 21. Investiga
tion of the loyalty of the five sus
pended socialist assemblymen, was as
serted, at their trial today by the as
sembly judiciary committee, to in
volve the question as to whether so
cialists "can hypocritically masquer
ade as a political party, strike hands
with every agency of force and rev
olution and- still make simple Ameri
can people understand they are not
the sworn enemies of their country
and ready to overthrow It."
This assertion was made by Martin
W. Littleton, who withdrew tern
porarily today as associate counsel
for the committee to handle the case
of United States Senator Newberry
of Michigan, in connection with whose
election charges of fraud have been
brought.
Allen Allegiance Charged.
He charged that Trotzky and Lenine
are attempting installation in Amer
ica of the soviet form of government
and that before the waves or putmc
opinion stirred by this case have sub
sided "this country will understand
that this so-called political party is
the agent and co-conspirator with
the dark forces of the Invisible em
pire whose object is forcible destruc
tion of constitutional government in
America."
Opposing a motion that charges
against the five socialists be dis
missed, he declared that, "the . repre
sentation with reference to what
these 'five men did and what they
profess and what they engaged to do
stands out as plainly as anything can
stand out that they, gave their al
legiance wholly and solely to an alien
and invisible empire known as the in
ternationale." Five Called Hired Agents.
He declared socialist legislators
could be ruled by aliens paying party
dues and that "they are the hired
agents of a group of aliens, come to
carry out the plans of the higher
agents as far as they can in the
councils of a free government."

Xew Low Records Set for British,
French, Italian Remittances.
Marks Are Hardest Jilt.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21. Utter col
lapse. and demoralization overtook the
foreign exchange market today, re
sulting in new low records for Brit
ish, French, Italian' and various other
European remittances.
The rate for British demand bills
fell to ?.1.60i, or Zt-c under its pre
vious minimum, and Paris checks.
Italian Ilres and Belgian francs fell in
corresponding or greater degree.
Dealers in ordering were again In
clined to attribute today's collapse to
such well-known and long-existing
conditions as the unfavorable trade
balances against almost all the for
eign centers and failure of the-United
States senate to ratify the peace
treaty. . .
Francs, with a normal or pre-war
value of about 19 cents, fell to the
point where it took almost 12 to pur
chase an American dollar, while lires
on Italian exchange, ordinarily on a
parity with French quotations,
dropped to a level where almost 14
were required to equal the American
dollar.
No important form of exchange, not
even rubles, which are only nominally
quoted at 4,j to cents, against
the pre-war quotation of 61 cents,
has suffered as much as the German
mark. Quoted before the war at 23 H
cents, the mark today dwindled to
slightly under IVx cents.

CUMMINGS DENIES REPORT
Rumor of $20,000,000 Campaign
Fund Plan Flouted.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. Chairman
Cummings of the democratic national
committee today made public a letter
to the editors of the New York Trib
une, denying the statements in that
newspaper that the committee planned
"to raise a fund of $20,000,000 for this
year's presidential campaign."
"At no time and under no circum
stances,' said Mr. Cummings, "has the
chairman of the democratic national
committee or anyone else authorized
to speak for the financial department
of the committee, made. any statement
indicating that it was the purpose of
the democratic national committee to
raise a fund of 320,000,000 for this
year's presidential campaign.
"We seek only enough campaign
contributions to enable us to conduct
a legitimate campaign and to present
our cause adequately to the people."

J. Bryan, in an address here,.tonight.
continued the attack against Homer
S. Cummings. chairman of the demo
cratic national committee, which he
inaugurated in a day address at Nor
folk. Referring to Chairman Cummings"
attendance at an inaugural dinner for
Governor Edwards of New Jersey last
night in Newark, Mr. Bryan declared
thr.t Cummings t eith separate
from the New Jersey executive or re
sign as head of the democratic na
tional committee.
"The democratic party," said Mr.
Bryan, "is too near me to ever consent
to have its interests allied with those
of the liquor interests."
Gevernor Edwarda Rapped.
"I won't join with Mr. Edwards in
trying to turn the democratic party
over to the liquor interests," said Mr.
Bryan.
"If the chairman." he continued, re
ferring to Mr. Cummings, "has not
sense enough to know better than to
join in a boom for a candidate like
that, he hasn't sense enough to be on
the committee."
Mr. Bryan took a fling at Edwards
again when he referred to reports
that Edwards had announced his can
didacy for president in Nebraska and
Virginia.
. Ready," la A amine
, "I don't know why Mr. Edwards
went to Nebraska to announce his
candidacy," he said, "unless he
wanted a hot fight. And if he did, he
sure came to the right place. If Ed
wards comes down here I want you to
be ready for him."
Asserting that the liquor interests
were going to take t" t fight against
nation-wide prohibition into politics
and try to elect a "wet" president on
a "wet" platform, the former secre
tary or state announced he could
bring evidence to prove his state
ments.
WASHINGTON,
Congress held its
bration today, a
sweeping both senate and house.
result was:
Decision by the house public build
ings committee not to recommend
passage at this session of a public
buildings bill.
Reduction by the house foreign af
fairs committee of the annual diplo
matic and consular service appropri
ation bill to $8,S43,03S, which is
$3,085,125 less than the state depart
ment's request and $1,032,074 less
than was appropriated for the pres
ent fiscal year.
Elimination by the senate of an
appropriation of $42,500,000 from the
Americanization bill and substitution
therefor of an appropriation of
$6,500,000 restricted to use until the
end of the 1921 fiscal year instead
of an expenditure over four years as
the larger appropriation contem
plated.
Senator McCumber said that, at
cording to careful estimates the gov
ernment would start the fiscal year
beginning July 1 with a deficit of
$3,000,000,000. Should expenditures
for 1921 be kept within the conserva
tive estimate of $6,000,000, the sen
ator thought they might be provided
for, but there would be nothing left
to take care of the left-over deficit.
"We have gone mad on the ques
tion of conceiving new questions that
will reach into the federal treasury
said Senator McCumber, referring to
the Americanization bill, which is de
signed to educate illiterate and Amer
icanize foreign-born citizens. "The
only thing that will stop it will be
when we get to the end of the rope
and have to bond the country to meet
expenses."
In cutting down appropriations in

bilL the house commitee denied Sec
retary Lansing's request for in
creases in tne salaries or amDassa-
dors and ministers. The only in
creases granted over present expen
ditures were a flat $1000 advance

J democratic national committee, at the
dinner held last night in Newark, in
honor of the new. inaugurated New

the chairman's attitude, he would op
pose him for chairman of the na

"Edwards has picked out my own

if Nebraska instructs for Edwards,
I'll never be a delegate to the nation

"I'll never vote to nominate a man
like that."
Following an eloquent appeal for
support of the anti-saloon league, he
digressed to say:
"Twenty-four years ago I com

laughter followed. "Nineteen hun-

York and they can have no faitlr in

Referring to the possibility of I

cially a republican, and no republican
is going to be permitted to nominate
the next president of the United
States."
Senate Xow
Possible.
Jan. 21. Marked
possibility of com
promising the senate deadlock over

night by leaders participating in the
bi-partisan compromise negotiations.
Although the leaders yesterday
came close to a break, today's meet
ing, it was stated upon most authori
tative Information, resulted in mate
rial progress toward & compromise.
At no time since the bi-partisan
conference began a week ago, one
of the active leaders declared, have
the prospects been so bright for an
agreement between tne iour repuo
lican and five democratic members of
the committee.
It was added, however, that tomor

to revisit America, particularly the .
middle west and far west, saying that
the best proof that one had enjoyed
a visit was his earnest desire to re
peat it.
Responding to Baron Desboroagh'a
toast, the prince said:
"Two months ago to the day I was
very hospitably entertained by the
American Pilgrims at New York and
they were going very strong indeed.
When Desborough said that I am
domiciled in England, I think it would
have been more correct to say I am
domiciled in the British empire.
"I visited the naval academy at
Annapolis and the military academy
at West Point. The visits were very
interesting to me, as I had been asso
ciated with the United States army
and navy during the war. It was that
association that made It possible for
me not to feel a stranger.
Personal Contact Needed.
"I had-a wonderful time and I was
touched by the demonstrations of
good will, not only on my own ac
count, but because tliey were given'
me as the king's representative and
to the British people as a whole. This
made me realize that only personal
contact is needed to prevent ary mis
understanding between the American
democracy and our own.
"The cordiality has not ceased be
cause of my departure, I am still re
ceiving most charming letters and, I
may add, not all of them from the
fair sex.
"There is only one way of showing
that one has enjoyed a visit. That is
by repeating it. I therefore propose
taking the first opportunity of pay
ing another visit to the United States.
1 am afraid I do not know when that
will be. I hope that then I may have
the opportunity of seeing something
of the far west and of the middle west
and of the other cities and places I
had no time to visit last November.
"In conclusion, may I say I sincere
ly hope that personal contact between
the British empire and the great
American public may rapidly develop.
We have the same language, the same
type of democratic institutions and
the same good will towards all people.
American Cousin. Toasted.
"I thank you for having entertained
me this evening and I wish all success
to all branches of the Pilgrims' so
ciety. It has done and is doing so
much to promote and foster continued
friendship, good will and understand
ing between the peoples of the two
great English-speaking nations."
The Earl of Reading, lord chief jus
tice and former ambassador to tha
United States, in toasting "our Ameri
can cousins," humorously remarked
that perhaps he should have invited
the Pilgrims to drink the tcast In
water.

mander of the American naval forces
In European waters, eat at the right
of the prince, both smoking big cigars
and apparently having a merry con
versation. Telegrams were read from the Duke
of Connaught, president of the Pil
grims, who is now at Cannes, and
Chauncey M. Depew, president of the
American branch.
Visit Held Beneficial.
Alluding to the objects of the Pil
grims as impossible of being better
expressed than they had been by the
prince of Wales. Earl Reading said:
"We had the good fortune to have
had his royal highness as our am
bassador to America. I do not beiievto
that anyone can thoroughly appreci
ate the beneficial effects of that visit,
because nobody can gauge it at the
present moment, t Deiieve it is im
measurable and incalculable.
"At heart both countries are Ani
mated by the same purpose. Each is
anxious that the other should deserve
well of the world's history."
The American ambassador, John ,W.
Divis. In responding, said that It was
much to be regretted that in the past
the two English-speaking nations had
no anthem In common. Now they
could both sing one anthem In unison
j "God bless the prince of Wales."
