ANTOINETTE FUNK DECLARES DUTY COSTHIGHER RANK, SHYS SIS Forced to Choose Between Reporting Inefficiency or | Promotion, He Declares. | By the Associated Press. NEWPORT, R. I, March 1.—Rear Admiral William'S. Sims has issued a statement regarding alleged prop- aganda for his promotion to the grade of admiral. He said that had he decided, upon his return from Europe, not to submit an official report’on “the inefficiency of the Navy Depart- ment, “there would probably be no necessity for discussing the question of my promotion at the present time.” The statement, Admiral Sims as- serted, concerned “letters written by or to John L. Leighton recently pub- lished in the Hearst newspapers” and characterized by propaganda for the promotion. “I have been specifically asked.” he sald, “whether I was informed of the activities of some of my friends, in- | tive there would probably be no ne- hung up In the Senate. Tfs apptoval | by the House apparently ereated the impression that I had been promoted to admiral, as recommended.~% * * Faced Two Courses. “Upon_my return from Hurope I was confronted with the necessity of making a_decision as to whether I should submit an ofcial report of the inefliciency of the Navy Depart- ment that caused us such serious losses in_men and shipping, with a view to bringing about a reorgani- zation of the department, or whether 1 should remain silent and leave the American people under the very dangerous impression conveyed by the department's official reports that “f‘; Navy and the department were efficient and prepared ‘from stem to stern’. “Had I chosen the latter aiterna- cessity for discussing the question of my promoticn at the present time. But, considering the information I possessed, to allow our pecple to re- main so dangerously misinformed as to our first line of national defense ‘would manifestly have been rank cowardice. 1 therefore submitted an official report, and the result was a Senate investigation which establish- ed the truth of my statements. * * “Surely the Navy desérves recogni- tion, as well as the Arm; Sims cormcluded, “for the ruccess with which it carried out its mission: and it appears to me that anything that can properly be done, even now, to those papers as|Dbring this to the attention of 'the public, is to Ke commended as a pub- lic service.” —_— MOST TELEPHONES IN U. S. cluding Mr. Leighton. I was informed Jatter that they proposed to the attitude of the people treatment accorded the the war, and 1 was glad o \. ihis, because I considered what they proposed to do would be a valuable service not only to the Navy but to the people, and this because there can be no doubt that the Amer- ican people are sadly misinformed as l\O certain facts of importance to the Nav. Admits His Ambition. “Though I do not for a moment wish to convey the impression that I am not human and have no ambition for myself or my children in this matter, still it is not a question of the per- sonal interests of any one man, but it is very much a question of the in- fluence upon the morale of the fail- ure of the Navy to receive adequate recognition for the service rendered by the Navy in the war zone. Such a failure officially and historically dis- credits these forces and those who were responsible for their conduct in contact with the enemy.” “In 1919,” Admiral Sims continued, “the last administration recommend- ed to Congress that I be promoted to the rank of admiral. This was ap- proved almost unanimously by the Mouse of Representativés, but was Two-Thirds of World’s Instruments in Use Here. By the Associated Press.
