- I THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1920 V) -1 . . .' WO ATTENTION GIVEN ADMIRAL APPEALS Request for Staff, Sims Says, . Is Steadily Ignored. SEVERAL MONTHS WASTED Recommendation to Have Perma nent War Organization In Kng land Eventually Carried Ont. WASHINGTON". March IT. Again centering' his fire at the navy depart ment on his charges that it insisted on directing all war operations from Washington, Rear-Admiral Sims told the senate investigating committee today that his urgent appeals for an adequate staff in London were ig nored until November. 1917. Admiral Benson, chief of operations. reached London during that month. Admiral Sims said, and Quickly con vinred himself of the "necessity for establishing a real advanced base headquarters of the navy department abroad with an adequate staff to make possible full co-operation with the admiralty and co-ordinating all 4 tivities with tiie allies." Department Attitude thanicrd. "X had been recommending such ac tion for five months," said Admiral Sims. "After Admiral Benson had reported, the department changed its . attitude,' he continued, "and a cable to Benson, November IT. said a de cision had been reached that it would be advantageous to have a perma nent war staff in England to work with the British admiralty." '"If this meets your approval addi tional officers will be sent to aug ment those already in Kngland who are fitted for this work." It said. Admiral Benson then asked that Captain K. H. Schofield and Com mander Knox be ordered to report to Admiral Sims and Admiral Jellico for such duty, and this was done at once. Admiral Sims testified, while his own recommendations for six months for the same action had been disre garded. "It is hardly necessary to .state that this is merely another instance of the altitude of the department during all those first critical months of the war." said Admiral Sims. "The rec ommendation I had been making for six months was not carried into effect nntif Admiral Benson, during his short stay in London, convinced him self that it was justified." Explanation Kxtremely Difficult. There was continued delay on vital ly important recommendations, be cause officials in Washington did not consider that sufficient Information had been sent from London. Admiral Sims .said. In many cases, he added, the necessity for secrecy or his lack ' of assistants prevented full reports. He read a cable from the department declaring that "it Is essential that th department be promptly and fully in formed of all operations of our ves sels acting with the allied nava. forces. On his reply that all Impor tant operations would be reported, the department renewed its dema.id for detailed reports, he said. "The department seemed disinclined to take any action or indorse any recommendations unless the fullest and most complete explanation could be made, and this was extremely dif ficult if indeed not impossible," the admiral said. Unity of command of the allied and American naval forces similar to that which afterward obtained on the western front was recommended by him to the navy department as early as July. 191T. but was not approved. Kear-Admiral Sims today told the committee. The admiral said that ef forts to direct a large force of Amer ican ships and men by cable and let ter from a point 3000 miles away gave, too many opportunities for misunder standings of messages and for their interception by the enemy. "The en emy secret service proved Itself to be extraordinarily efficient." he said. tice and maneuvers at Camp Lewis, while the coast artillery has been as signed to Fort Stevens. Target prac tice and field firing will be featured at this year's encampment. The state allows $1 a day for each enlisted man attending the encamp ment, while the remainder of the ex pense will be defrayed by the govern ment. Until the federalization of the Oregon military units a few months ago it was necessary for the state to pay the entire expense connected with these encampments. It was also announced by the adjutant-general that an officers' school of Instruction had been arranged for four days, June 14 to 17, Inclusive. All the units of the 3d Oregon regi ment and engineers will receive their instruction at Vancouver barracks, while the officers of the coast artil lery have been assigned to Fort Stev ens. At both bases the instruction will be similar, according to the adjutant-general. Word was received by the adjutant general today announcing the resig nations of Captain Bertram C. Short, regimental adjutant of the 3d in fantry at Portland, and Captain Mill ard W. Grubbe, of 1st company, coast artillery, of Ashland. These vacan cies will be filled by election of suc cessors by the units affected. Adjutant-General Stafrin said to day that he had not received any def inite Information as to when Colonel George White would reassume the duties as head of the Oregon forces, although he had been formally ad vised that Mr. White had returned to Portland from the east. FACTS ABOUT NERVES. Exhausted nerve cells are re newed by the nourishment which they receive from the blood. If the blood is thin the nourish ment carried to the nerves is weak and nervous trouble fol lows. Pain is the nerves' signal that food is needed. The pain may take the form of nervous headache, neuralgia, sciatica or nervous indiges tion. A non-alcoholic tonic is needed to restore the blood and enable it to strengthen and revitalize the exhausted nerves. SOVIET USUI LISTLESS VISIT OF LKAGl'K COMMISSION STIKS LITTLE INTEREST.

The approaching visit of the commission of the league of nations to soviet Russia is arousing little interest and discussion here. Russia has no confidence in the league, according to the soviet lead ers. Leo Kameneff, president or the Moscow soviet, said today: 'The league has capitulated. It lias lost its original significance. It contains no vital principles appli cable to the new organization of so ciety and it is treated In the interest of the old imperialism." Referring to the projected visit f the league commission. Kameneff said: "We attach no particular impor tance to the matter. The bona fide comrr.issisons of other countries de siring to make an Impartial inves tigation will be welcome. We will make no special preparations and will arrange no fetes for the league commission, but we shall afford facil ities to see everything. We ask the same right, however, to send out com missions to other countries." Kameneff expressed the opinion that .no resumption of trade inter course witli western Kurope would be possible without re-establishment of diplomatic relations. Chairman Melnickanski of the coun cil of the Moscow trades unions is another soviet leader frankly unin terested in the coming visit of the commission. The leaders of the itiensheviki party, according to Melnickanski, be. lieve that the resumption of diplo matic relations with the capitalistic nations will tend to bring about bour geois action dangerous to the men- shevists as well as to communism, The mensheviki party, however, rep resents but a small faction in Russia today. The majority of intelligent oninion in Russia, so rar as careiii inquiry indicates, regards the pos tinn of the covernment as stronger todav than since the revolution. The attitude of the United States toward Russia is 'the subject of much speculation. BAPTISTS WILL EXPAND AMPLE FUNDS SECURED FOR WORK IN THIS STATE. Mrs. Marie Dye. who lives at No. 13516 . East 46th street, Los Angeles, Cal., Is sure that victims of nervous ness will gain strength and health if they will only try til' remedy which she found so benefiilal. When seen recently at her home she said: "My nerves were so bad that the least excitement upset me and left me shaking like a leaf -for an hour after. My sleep was broken and un restful and some nights it seemed as thftugh I heard the clock strike every hour. In the morning I felt exhaust ed and lacking in ambition and en ergy. I had frequent nervous head aches. My stomach rebelled at food and I had indigestion and suffered from palpitation of the heart. "I tried several prescriptions, but nothing helped me- until I began tak ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which were recommended to me. There was a marked change for the better in two weeks and I was so encouraged that I continued taking the pills. I feel much stronger now. I can eat a good meal without distress and I sleep soundly and feel refreshed in the morning.
