Secretary of the' Navy Danle'ia late Bunday made , public the text of a letter which he sent Sunday to Senator, Pare, chairman of the senate naval affair committee, in which he de clared that he did not give Admiral Slma the anti-British instructions he says he received on the eve f his departure for Europe Just before the United States entered the war. Secretary Daniels admits in this let ter, however, that 4ie cautioned Admiral Sims to be tactful and that he recalled to him a speech he once made in Lon don and for which he received , repri mand from President TafC ' The return to Washington .tonight of Admiral - William S. Benson, who all during the war was chief of the bureau of operations and as such the superior "of Admiral M. 8. Sims, Is expected to bring the most important development into the scandal that has arisen out of Admiral Sims' 'Indict ment" of the conduct of the navy during the war. ' It is known here that -Admiral Ben son, together with Secretary of the Navy Daniels, gave Admiral Sims his parting instructions before his departure to Eu rope shortly before the war was de clared against Germany by the United States. When he appeared before the senate sub-committee investigating naval awards Saturday, Admiral Sims assert ed that among the Instructions was this Verbal order: "Don't let the British pull the wool over your eyes. We don't want to pull their chestnuts out of the fire." - Officials of the navy department to day declared that If the complete sen ate naval affairs committee undertakes an investigation of Admiral Sims' charges it will have to summon not only Secretary of the Navy Daniels but Ad miral Benson as well. It was also as serted today that It was unfair for Ad miral Sims, before a senate sub-committee Saturday, to make a statement ef that nature without repeating the en tire conversation which took place at the time, so that Its meaning could be fully appreciated. Some of the members of the advisory board Sunday discussed what they termed reasons for Admiral Sims' attack, first on Secretary of the Navy Daniels in the awards controversy, and then on the navy generally. In short the reasons given are these : First. It is supposed to be political. Second. Giving due credit to Admiral Sims for his ability as a naval officer, they nevertheless declare that the per sonal equation now dominates the matter. Third. In substantiation of the person al feature they point out that Admiral Benson, when he went to Paris to con clude the terms of the armistice, found Admiral ,8ims there and ordered him "back to his Job" at London. - Co-eds i Haven't Begun "Leap" s? "wt H 1 y . .. .st K K .k ft? Diamond Rings Not Genuine , Heed college, dormitory waa set in tur moil ' Saturday evening when half a dozen sparkling .diamonds made their appearance on the significant fingers of feminine hands. The first reaction to the display aroused intense excitement when members of the, Bachelors' club surmised that In epit of their propa ganda, Jeap year activities had succeed ed on a grand scale. Investigation, how ever, revealed, the appearance of a new organization composed of prominent members of Houses A and C of the Heed dormitory, which "baa set no limits on membership among Reed women," but whose alms are officially kept under cover. The only fact generally known is that a diamond ring Indicates membership. Reed men a pent Sunday in vain sur mises as' to the new move. According to Reed 'rumor, however, the recent opposition to customary leap year activities has rendered any girl employing her leap year prerogative un comfortably conspicuous, and the new society will serve to cover any individual successes through the general custom of displaying diamond rings n the third finger. The rings "guaranteed to spar kle in the dark, were purchased Satur day at a and 10-cent store. Hate interest in we new anisic bi imi-,i nnat rmiart In the Anti-lea C) vf atrita 1 tion now centers in distinguishing real diamonds from the cut glass sparklers which merely signify membership in a women's protective union. TRACKAGE FACILITIES WASHINGTON AND OREGON F 0 ID AMPLE Lumbermen ' Say Only 50 Per Cent of Available Track Has Ever Been in Use. A recent statement of the manager of the car service section of the United States railroad administration at Wash ington that car shortage in Oregon and Washington is due to the Pacific North west having outgrown its trackage fa cilities, is denied by officials of the West Coast Lumbermen's association The state public service commissions of the two states and traffic experts in their employ find that track facilities of Oregon and Washington are not now and never have been used in excess of 68 per cent Temporary slight relief from the car shortage Is reflected in the weekly news letter of the West Coast association. In spite of optimistic reports circulated by officers of the railroad administration, the lumbermen declare that the outlook for cars In Oregon and Waslngton con tinues to be discouraging. Actual production of . the 127 mills participating in the last report of the association show actual production of 65,539,251 feet, or about 27 per cent be low normal. New business for the week totaled 64,235,650 feet ; shipments for the week were 66.741,927 feet, of which 65, 710.000 were loaded for rail delivery. The balance of unshipped orders for transcontinental delivery has reached a toUl of 13.149 cars at 127 mills. NAVAL RESERVES MAY TAKE HONOLULU TRIP BEFORE INSPECTIONS Battalion Reorganization Planned; Reservists Are Asked to . Report for Duty. POULTRY EXHIBITS SHOW YOUNGSTERS' ACTIVITY List of Prze Winners at Recent Poultry Club Show in Port land Is Announced. Fourth. Admiral Sims was reported to l ave desired to become a member of the British admiralty, but dropped the mat ter after he learned of the opposition of Admiral Benson to uch a step. Fifth. That it is well known by the members of the advisory council that Admiral Sims possesses strong; feelings of friendship for the British, as demon strated by his now famous "blood is thicker than water" speech in London and that his tendency would be for a closer cooperation than was desired by the advisory board. Portland's nava! reserve battalion may be ready for Inspection on June 1, be lieve officers npw working on organi zation of the reserve in the second sec tion of the thirteenth r.ava". district, com prising Oregon and the southern counties of Washington. Should the battalion undergo Inspec tion at about that date, a three weeks' cruise to Honolulu may be taken, accord ing to Lieutenant John A. Beckwith !n con.mand here. Naval reserve of fleets will meet in the CnrtlanH naw rcnil Hne" station TUCS- jUay night, when pla: s will be considered for conducting instruction classes tor oi ficers and enlisted men. A statement explaining the naval re serve and the pay of enlisted men was issued Saturday night by Lieutenant Beckwith. It reads : "The United States naval reserve force is a voluntary organization. The mem bers thereof are a part of the naval forces of the United States, and when or. inactive duty are entitled to certain retainer pay. "Recruits are placed In class 4 and receive $12 per year retainer pay. A member of class 4, after performing three months of sea service on a com batant ship of the na- will, after pass ing an examination for qualification In his rating of rank, be transferred to class 2. "Reservists in class 2 receive retainer pay amounting to two months' base pay per year, payable quarterly from the navy allotment office. The reservist should be willing to devote a little time when on inactive duty to keep himself Informed on naval subjects and for that purpose the navy department urges at tendance at naval drills weekly, which will be held in the evening or at such other time as not to Interfere with the reservist's civilian vocation. 4 !L i I Lest We Forget! ! ill - I if . 4 t. a aw ''. 4 v i .'-:. . v . . r - i " - asaga Why Do the Old Way? r;r- I i -"l'L V 'y4 , .- -vrA '&n: HT . , - y "".v " - T", j 1 ' iv I, la-u-a: ' ftt 1? a A yvts i ,J Sw I?
