METHODIST <’Hl IU’H A1I»S Washington, July 18.—(A. P.) — The msjority and minority reports of the senate naval committee which investigated Rear Admiral Sims’ charges against the American naval administration during the war, were published today. The republicans declared that Sec retary Daniels’ policy during ths war was "self-defensive, non-aggres sive and non-helpful,” while the democrats upheld Daniels, saying his policy was vindicated by ths "uniform success of our operations,** and was "deserving of the hearty commendation of this committee and of the American people." The majority report severely scor ed Daniels, ex-President Wilson and Rear Admiral Benson, the former chief of operations. The minority report defended them. The charge of an unnecessary coot of lives and money was declared by the minority report to be "monstrous'* and with- out foundation, and It was said Sima failed to produce evidence to sustain the charges.
