strated nbilitv of n hidi order." See
retarv Daniels said "the position of
Jiear Admiral Sims in placiiiL' shore

about nine venrs at sea. As justify
ing his contention that individual
duties ashore are nccessarilv of sec
ondary importance to. duties afloat,
Mr. Daniels asserted:
"On shore a man decides import
ant nuestions with time to wi'iirli the
pros and cons, and if he makes a
mistake his error in decision is not
immediately followed bv disastrous
results, At sea the commander is in
imminent peril of death, lie must
make momentous decisions in the
Hash of a sinclo moment, often when
his ship has been attacked, and when
coolness anil poise are necessary to
save the lives of scores and hundreds
of men. A mistake in this emer
gency is fatal."
With this as nn impellinir reason
the secretary said he disapproved of
the disparity between honors to men
ashore and afloat as reeommendeil
bv the Kniuht board and accordingly
reduced or"Wiminaled a number of
awards for shore service.
In support of his contention that
a commander of a. ship sunk or dam
aired bv submarine attack was en
titled to a medal if he showed proper
uualifieations even thouuh the ship
was unable to combat the submarine.
Secretary Daniels cited numerous
instances in American naval history
and also pointed to instances of such
awards durinir the world war.

"Our country was at war nnd tho
situation was critical In the extreme.

hanging In tho balance.
"While there had been rumors In
Michigan that Henry Kord would be a

"Rightly or wrongly, there waa a
very general feeling that Mr. Ford

should represent his state in thu

"Rightly or wrongly, many people
remembered his campaign against
