HALF MILLION OF LIVES LOST THRU FAILURE OF NAVY SAYS SIMS TODAY Admiral Tells Senate Investi gating Committee Failure of America to Cooperate Early Was Very Costly. FIGURES ARE GIVEN Says Inefficiency Resulted in Loss of Vt Million Tons Shipping:, 15 Billions and Delayed Victory. WASHINGTON, Mar. 1. By Associated Press Failure of the nary department to fully cooper ate in the war during the first six months after America' entry cost the allies a half a million lire, fifteen billions of dollar, two and a half million tons of fh'pping and prevented victory over Germany in July 1918, ac cording to the statement made today before the icnate Investi gating committee by Rear Ad miral Sims. Introduction of documentary evi- deuce before the commission in up port of the charges which have been made by Sims was begun today. Sims said that he would show by his evi dence thc proof of all hi statements. He stated that he was attempting discredit the part played by the Un ited States navy in the war but that he only wished to make public the damage done to the Allies by the failure of the navy department to cooperate with the allies during the early part of the war. He reiterated the statements made yesterday that he was only bringing the charges because he considered it hij duty to point the errors that had been committed by the heads of the navy department. Basic criticisms of the navy' policies were: That during the early period of the war the department violated funda mental principles of warfare leading to a prolongation of hostilities and needless loss of live, and money. That the policies of the department fo thc last half of the war were iden tical with recommendations rejected during the firt six months. That if the department had proper plans when the nation entered the war they should have been placed in ef fect at once. That mistakes, if any were made, should be carefully reviewed to avoid a future recurrence and to help mould future national defense policies.
