Newspaper Page TextTHE MOilXING OKEGOXIAX, THURSDAY, 31 AY 13, 1920 WILSONMESSKeeiD SIS RAPS BRITISH War-Time Cable Asserts Eng lish Are in Panic. ADMIRAL "UNDER SPELL" Daniels Declares Tliat Commander Had Tendency to Belittle Anything Done in America. WASHINGTON. May 12. The veil of secrecy Behind which the American Mvy operated during; the war "was lifted further today by Secretary Daniels. Continuing his testimony before the senate committee investisating Rear Admiral Sims' charges that the navy failed to co-operate folly' with the al lies, the secretary "read a confidential cablegram sent to Adaiiral Sims at London on -July 4, 1917, by President Wilson. In it the president paid that In the presence of the submarine cracrgcnci; the British admiralty was "helpless almost to the point of panic" and asked the admiral to sub mit a report based upon "independent thought of the whole" situation, with out regard to the Judfrment of any one on that side of the water." Admiral Sims' responso, Mr. Daniels testified, was "a long telegram of Reneralitics of what the British ad miralty was doing." In this connec tion Secretary Daniels said the ad miral's reply to the president sug gested that the proper policy to pur sue was to adopt the recommenda tions he had made to the navy depart ment. Tnost of which, the witness tes tified, had been put into operation be fore the admiral suggested them. Nmvj'h I'lans Discredited. . The naval secretary told the com mittee that Admiral Sims in his reply evidently had sought to discredit the navy department's plans and that in stead of accepting the .department s suggestion of great, offensive plana or "originating some plan that prom ised to stop the egress of German submarines." Admiral Sims had closed his mind' to every plAn "looking to' the great offensive which in the fall of 19J8 was the most effoctive against mbmarines." President Wilson's message to Sims follows: "From the beginning of the war, I have been greatly surprised at the failure of the British admiralty to use Great Britain's great naval su periority in an effective way. In the presence of the present submarine emergency they are helpless to the point of panic. "livery plan, we suggest they re ject for some reason of prudence. In my view this Is not a time for pru dence, but for boldness even at the cost of great loss. - "In most of your dispatches, you have quite properly advised us of the sort of aid and co-operation desired from us by the admiralty. The trouble is that' their plans and methods do not seem to us efficacious. . I would bo very much obliged to you if you would report to me, confidentially of course, exactly what the admiralty has been doing and what they have aecomDlished and. added to the report, your own comments and suggestions, based upoTi independent thought of the whole situation, without regard to the Judgments of any one on that aide of the water. British Shy at Convoys. "The admiralty was very slow to adopt the protection of convoys and It is not now, I judge, protecting convoys on adequate scale within the danger zone, seeming to keep small craft with the grand fleet. The ab sence of craft for convoy is even more apparent on ttie French coast than on the lingllsh co.ast,"and in the chan nel. "I do not see how the npMcarv military supplies and supplies of food snd fuel oil are to be delivered at British ports in any other way within the next few months than under ade quate convoy. There will presently not be ships or tankers enough and our shipbuilding plans may not begin to yield important results in less than 18 months. "I believe that you will keep these instructions absolutely and entirely to yourself and that you will give me surh advice as you would give if you were handling, and if you were r i mining a navy oi your own. sima- rear indicated. Mr. Daniels also read a letter from Admiral Sims to former Ambassador Page at London, written August 7 1917. which in part said: "In this connection I have a sug gestion to make. I have received . word, practically directly from the president, that he was much dis- pleased with my reply to his cable gram; that it did not change his opinion at all, .that he regards me as owned by the admiralty and eo pro-British that he seriousl:' con- ' " . . . v. ..v. . . oa ii u n ii l replacing me by some other officer." Admiral Sims' reply to the presi dent told also of plans, for a com bined sea and land attack to turn FEW FOLKS HAVE x GRAY HAIR NOW Druggist Says Ladies Are Us ing Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

"That was the kind of. "bold and audacious thing the president and navy department had been urging from our entrance into the war," de clared the secretary. But even then. Admiral Sims said it had not been definitely decided on by the war council, though the daring and suc cessful attack on Zeebrugge came much later. It might "have been a very different story if it had" been undertaken earlier when the navy de partment was urging some such bold plan, all of which Admiral Sims thought 'impracticable" when urged by the navy department. Many Plana Belittled. Admiral Sims told the president he had seen studies of the department's plan to prevent the egress of submar ines, Mr. Daniels said, and that he considered the scheme impracticable. "He evidently thought to discredit the navy department's plans by say ing that these same suggestions and many similar ones had been made by people in all classes since the begin ning of the war," said Mr." Daniels. Sims' cable to the president suggested that the proper policy to pursue was to adopt the recommendations he had made to the department, "most of which had- been decided upon and put in operation before Admiral Sims' suggested -them," Secretary Daniels declared. "He added." the secretary contin ued, "that we should adopt an or ganization similar in all respects to the British squadron and virtually transfer all navy authority to his headquarters in London." . Two "remarkable and significant statements" in Admiral Sims' reply to President Wilson were cited by Mr. Daniels as evidence that the admiral was "so hypnotized by British, influ ences that he was willing to try to lure the president of the United States into the feeling that, regardless of future developments, we can always count upon the support of the British navy. British Pledge. Ridiculed. The first was that the views he had expressed were in all cases "an independent opinion based upon Fpe cific facts collected in the admiralty and other government departments." The second was as follows: "Depend upon the fact, which I be lieve to be true, that, regardless of any future developments, we can al ways count upon the support of the British navy. I have been assured of this by important government of ficials." ' "It' would be interesting to know what British government officials as sured hiin that, regardless of future developments, the United States can always count upon the .support of the British navy," said Mr. Daniels. "It seems inconceivable that any admiral could have regarded such assurances as worth paying tolls to transmit. Every schoolboy should know that in a democratic government no govern ment official could pledge his coun try's navy to support another gov ernment, regardless of future devel opments. It is to be hoped that if Admiral Sims has such assurances he will send a copy of the pledge in writ ing, with the name of the "important government officials' appended there to, to be filed in the archives of 'sops for the simple.' Spell Over Admiral British. Admiral Sims was "under the spell of influences that made him believe that the British government could be depended upon more to take care of America than that America should de pend upon her own strong right arm," said Mr. Daniels. "This attitude of acceptance of everything British," he added, "un doubtedly accounts for his opposition to the creation of an independent American army and his idea that American troops sent abroad 'should be used as an annex to the British army, quoting General Bliss as rec ommending that policy. When General Bliss read that Admiral Sims had quoted him as advocating such a pol icy, he wrote at once to the secretary of war, declaring the truth, to be ex actly the reverse " i Secretary Daniels presented a let ter from former Representative Car lln of Virginia, dated last April 20, and stating that while Mr. Carlin was visiting in London in December, 1918, Admiral Sims had "disabused" his mind of the view that "our navy had been of great importance during the war and had accomplished 6plendid results." Recommendation Polly Met. "He told me our navy was small and ineffective as compared with the British navy, and that our achieve ments had amounted to but little dur ing the war,"' wrote Mr. Carlin. "I remember that after leaving the ad miral I told my son, who was with me, that the 'admiral should be in the British navy and on .their payroll, and not on ours." Admiral Sims' charge that the navy department refused . to send enough anti-submarine vessels to .the war zone was disproved by the admiral's own language, Miy Daniels testified. He read a cable "from Sims dated April 28, 1917, stating that 20 odd .American destroyers operating from QueenstowTr would put down the sub marine activity and keep it down. By the end of May there were 28 de stroyers and two tenders at Queens town, the secretary said. "Thue we had dispatched, within a month, more tnan the British war council and admiralty had decided were needed to 'put down' the dan gerous submarine activity in that area and 'keep it down,"" declared Mr. Daniels.

With her husband, Frank Steele, on his way to Williamsburg, Ky., closely manacled, to answer to a charge of murder alleged to have been committed in 1906, Mrs. Frank Steele, his 19-year-old wife, is prepar ing to return to her former home in St. Mary's, Idaho. Steele was a contractor here for a number of years and was regarded as a substantial citizen.

WILSON'S OREGON CALL ROILS PARTY Hot Battle Wages About Peace Resolution. " . BUCK PASSED ON DELAY Death of Democratic Party Predict ed if Convention Pledges Un conditional Ratification. (Contlnued'From First Page.) dent.. They were rejected. We on this side offered all the compromises. You offered none." t Senator Thomas, democrat, Colo rado, also expressed doubt as to the possible full effectiveness of the resolution.- He said he opposed the. reso lution because he believed it "a'clear invasion of the executive power." He opposed the resolution also, he said, because it sought to-secure benefits from the treaty that the senate re fused to ratify. President Severely Criticised. Senator Thomas also criticised President Wilson for sending his tele gram on the league of nations to the campaign manager in Oregon of Sen ator Chamberlain's opponent. "He . charges""almost directly every senator voting against the treaty or for the treaty with reserva tions with dishonor, because he says in his letter that euch action is ut terly inconsistent with the -nation's honor," the senator said. j "This letter is addressed to some obscure and unknown individual in Portland, Or., whose chief claim to prominence, 1 understand, is his "ani mosity to Oregon' great senior sen ator (Mr. Chamberlain). "With all due respect to the presi dent, he might at least have given this document to the world through the official " organization of the na tional democracy of the senate or house leaders. "I do not contend that this pro nunciamento was designed to aid the enemies of the senator from Oregon. I doh't know. But it justifies such a presumption because the senator once had the misfortune to incur the displeasure of the president." Praising Senator Chamberlain's war record,. Mr. Thomas said the Oregon member, "contributed more to the success f American arms than any of his associates," and expressed the hope that Oregon would not unseat Mr. Chamberlain. Ongas Senator Gets Tribute. Senator Jones', republican, Wash ington, also joined in the tribute to Senator Chamberlain whom Mr. Jones declared "was more responsible than any man in our country that our boys were prepared in time." Senator Phelan, joining in the de bate, declared that "the value of the services of he senator from Oregon are so great to his country that ihe majority of his associatees would hate to lose him, but the president is en titled to his. views. "It is unfair to infer," said Senator Phelan, "that there was any intention on the part of the president to re flect on the Oregon senator by the letter you have mentioned. The sec retary of the president, in his behalf has disavowed such, intent." "I don't know',' retorted Senator Thomas, "that the disavowal has been made, but it ought to be. The presi dent has a( right to his views. It is also our right when reflections are made on our official conduct to say what we think about It. I voted against the treaty; if it ever comes to the senate again while I'm here my vote will be the same. Dishonor Roll Is Read. "Outside of the three malignants of the democratic party here of which I am one 20 of my colleagues, ac cording to the president have been guilty of 'dishonoring the nation, de feating the hopes of the world.' " Senator Thomas at this point read the names from a roll call running from Ashurst to Wolcott. Senator King, democrat, Utah, In terjected, "there were a number of us absent on that occasion who were paired to make our votes of the same effect. "I'll' not have the' temerity to add their names," responded Senator Thomas. 'They would be glad to be there,'.' Senator King insisted. The democratic attack upon the re publican peace resolution was launched by Senator Hitchcock of Ne braska, administration spokesman. ho declared, in addressing the sen ate that the measure was futile and inconsistent and inimical to the treaty of Versailles. "Great expectations for an act of congress tnat would torce a peace settlement are to be disappointed. High hopes that a resolution by con gress could be made to perform the functions oi a peace treaty are aban doned. Instead of a peace settlement to be forced by resolution of manda tory requirements as the price of sev ering commercial relations. wwe are merely to repeal the war declaration, declare the war at an end and invite the president to negotiate a separate peace," he. said. Zig-Zag Course on Peace. Mr. Hitchcock cited three similar resolutions which he said had been sponsored since last November 'by Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, au thor of the pending resolution. The latter, Mr, Hitchcock said, is the fifth peace resolution offered by the republican leadership "In reaching this important conclu sion," he said of the pending meas ure, "the supporters of the novel plan have . staggered from side to side over a zigzag course for nearly six months." Senator Hitchcock denied that con gress has the power to make peace, although it has authority to declare war. The states voted unanimously Sure Relief 6 Bell-ans Hot water Sure Relief E LL-AEX3S FOR INDIQESTION against giving, congress peace-making jurisdiction, he said. Senator Knox' recent argument that the war actually was at an end was conceded by Mr. Hitchcock, who asked: "Then why this resolution? Hos tilities ceased 18 months ago and our army was reduced to a peace basis. Since that time commerce has been resumed. We have sold hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of prod ucts to Germany and purchased much from her. The war, which the sen ator from Pennsylvania proposes to end by this resolution, does not by his own admission exist. Attack oa Treaty Futile. "What then is the senator from Pennsylvania attempting to do by this measure, which he calls a reso lution to terminate tho war? He is making an utterly futile and hopeless attempt , to make a peace settlement with Germany to take the place of the Versailles treaty. "Instead of declaring peace," he said, "tho Knox resolution declares the war at an end. Thus we have raised the Interesting distinction ber tween declaring; peace and declaring war at an end." The peace resolution adopted by the house last " month was denounced especially by Mr. Hitchcock because of Its proposals for an embargo against Germany within 45 days in event of German objections to the resolution and its provision for re serving rights under the treaty. In the house resolution, he said., "we demand the benefits of the treaty. wmcn we have refused to ratify. Reviewing the course of otbeP peace resolutions, Mr. Hitchcock said a previous resolution by Senator Knox was "abandoned on -the senate doorstep like its predecessors." ; Separate Pea re Condemned. "But the effort to do something to escape from the constitutional method of making peace was not abandoned," he continued. "Something had to b-e done. Intrasigneant statesmen who had refused all efforts to reach an agreement or compromise on the peace treaty, felt the growing responsi bility." . - House republicans, Mr. Hitchcock charged, were called into conference and, the house action arranged., al though he declared that the house never had been permitted a voice in" peace proceedings previously. Upon receipt of the house resolution by the senate, however, Mr. Hitchcock said, there was a sudden change of plans and the present resolution was drafted as a futile plan for republican in dorsement. Senator Hitchcock criticised espe cially the proposal that the president be asked to negotiate a separate treaty with Germany. "Only a few months ago," he said, "the same senators who now propose this request were violent in condemn ing any such suggestion." Reading from an article by Senator Lodge appearing in a magazine in De cember, 1918, in which the republican loader declared "it would brand us with everlasting dishonor and bring ruin to us also if we undertook to make a separate peace," Senator Hitchcock asked: "Do the supporters of this request want to brand us with dishonor and bring ruin upon us?" Constitution Defied, Says Hitchcock. "In another provision of the reso lution," the senator continued, "it is stated that the United States does not waive any of .its rights under the treaty it has rejected. Could anything be more ridiculous than to assume and indicate that we have any rights to waive after we have refused to ratify the treaty which grants them? Altogether the five desperate at tempts to defy the constitution and substitute a resolution for a treaty make a fine display of legislative ex perimentation. "Resolved, that the war has ended; resolved, that peace exists; resolved that we force Germany to grant us what we might get if we signed the treaty; resolved, that the president be requested to negotiate a separate peace; resolved, that we will not give up German property; resolved, that we will not waive any. rights under the treaty one and all of them fool ish and. futile attempts to evade the constitutional way of securing peace by ratifying the treaty negotiated In a constitutional way. All of them are hopeless. All of them doomed to de feat. All of them attempted simply as a desperate means of getting out of a bad situation which certain statesmen find themselves in."

While leaders of the two old parties are going ahead making plans for their national con ventions soon to be held, there are unmistakable signs of a third party movement. " ' Evidences of this fact-has cropped out several times recently and there is no question that, notwithstanding the protests of ., Samuel Gompers, president of. the American Federation of Labor, the plans of a certain poli tical leader and the "committee of 48" are going on in a businesslike way. .........

Post, assistant secretary of labor, charged with having been too lenient xwith aliens arrested on de portation warrants, a professional radical publicity promoter found some suggestion of the third party movement in one of the utterances of a speaker Leaning over to the correspondent, he said: "I. want to tell you this third party movement is growing and un less the republicans nominate Hiram Johnson or the democrats name Mc Adoo there will be a third party in the campaign." He volunteered the further informa tion that the third-party ticket will be For president, Robert M. La Fo lette of Wisconsin for vice-president, Frank P. Walsh of Missouri. Obvious ly since then the third party enthu siasts have been doing too much talking, because the programme then announced has crept Into print and the story of what is to happen has been considerably built upon. La Follette Bolt Poanlhle. One rumor is that unless the re publican delegates assembling In Chi. cago June 8 nominate either La t oi lette or Hiram Johnson and adopt a platform embodying the radical prin ciples on which the La Follette party won Its recent victory in Wisconsin, Senator La Follette will walk out of the convention with his 24 delegates. This move, it is said, is to be signal for organizing the proposed third party. And it can be safely said that the ' republican convention will never consider Ca Follette. It is almost a certainty, however, that the radicals will , not be so rash as to act at once upon that signal, preferring to, wait until the demo cratic convention, to assemble in San Francisco on June 28, has disposed of its nomination and platform. The left wing, which includes the Plumb plan league .and a large aggregation vof radicals who can call themselves democrats as easily as anything else, have their eyes on Mr. McAdoo. Berger Reported Pleaaed. Although the McAdoo nomination would not satisfy all of the elements ardently for La Follette and Walsh, and particularly the Sinn Fein and others opposed to the league of na tions, it is thought that his strong appeal to the Plumb plan leaguers, the non-partisan leaguers, the social ists and some other extremists would be so discouraging to the La'FolIette Walsh backers that they might abac., don the third party plan. Already it is said that the La Fol lette tendencies are so pleasing to Victor Berger that he has abandoned his intention of running for the United States senate in Wisconsin, this year, preferring Instead to seek the governorship. His design is said to be to leave the socialist ticket blank as to the senatorship in order that the socialists may be able to help nominate Thompson, the La Follette candidate, in the republican primaries over Senator Irvin L. Lenroot, who is seeking a renominatlon. GOLD THIEF SENTENCED Ten Tears Meted Out to Mint Em ploye Who Stole $80,00 0. DENVER.
