There may be a good -deal of political
mud slinging this year, but of one thing
the public can rest assured. The ad
ministration isn't ' going to allow the
American war record to be beclouded.
Admiral Sims started something when
he began, his criticism of the navy de
partment. Practically all the admirals
of the United States navy who were on
the other side took Issue with him. It
Is not a personal controversy. It is
really a difference between the American
and the British way of going at the war,
At this end it was suspected that Ad
miral Sims became saturated with the
British viewpoint,
Of course. It had been charged, par
ticularly by. the friends of Irish freedom.
that President Wilson was "thoroughly f
Hiigusn-' ana mat ne was constantly
under ' British influence. The covenant
of the Leacue of Nations has been de"!
nounced as "Wilson-British." It will not'
bo surprising, therefore, if the admin
istration took the public into its con
fidence ' on some of the troubles it had
with the British during the war.
Of course the British had trouble with
the French and so did : the . Americans.
Allies never can harmonize in war time.
The selection of a generalissimo, estab
lishment of unity of command on land
as well as water, developed because of
this friction.
But little . has been said about land
operations of the United States. There
is much to be made public, such as the
messages that passed between the Amer
ican and British navies. General Per
shing could tell some Interesting stories
about hia troubles with the commanders
of other armies. - - v
If Major General Wood becomes the
nominee; of the Republican party and
any considerable part of the campaign
is devoted to criticism of the way the
administration conducted the war or to
criticism of the. administration for not
sending General Wood to France, the
next series of revelations can be ex
pected. The Sims controversy has merely
started something which the administra
tion is belligerently taking advantage of
to i answer it's criticism. .
