SIMS ATTACKS NAVY APPOINTMENT PLAN Naming Officers Without War Col- lege Training to High Posts Called Crime. By the Assoctated Frass. BOSTON, May 9.—The Navy Depart- ment was criticized for appointing officers who are not graduates of the Naval War College to the highest positions in the Navy, in an interview given by Rear Admiral Willlam S. Sims, retired, at Newport, R. I, to the Boston Transcript. “In my opinion,” sald Admiral Sims, he attitude of the Navy Department toward the Naval War College has long been a crime. The appointment of an officer who Is not a graduate of the War College to be commander-in- chief of the great United States fleet is a crime against the people of this country, and &o is the appointment of 4 non-graduate to the most impor- tant position in the Navy Department | ——that of chief of naval operations “Appointment of an officer lacking this training to be head of the Naval Academy, at Annapolis, is nothing lesa than a scandal. There never has been a War Collegs man in that po- sition. “More than half of the officers given preference in the transfers recently to take effect this summer are not graduates of the War College. The service is disgusted with the situa- | rion—disgusted that the same old | game of service polites is being pla “d. Tt belfeves that the best place seat next the dealer in Washington Personal influences bring greater re- wards than War College training, Making bureau chiefs of officers who | lack this training is an v\lrernelv serious matter.” The War College, he said, gave the | officers training “in the upplication of those dootrines which enable widely soparated elements of a great fleet to co-operate as a single teum and which | ~nable the commander to make sound i tactical decisions fn time—that is, hefore the enemy can selze the ini- riative.” Before his retirement Admiral Sims ! was president of the Naval War Col- lege, at Newport. —_— FRAT TO CELEBRATE 20TH ANNIVERSARY Gamma Eta Chapter Members. | Delta Tau Delta. to Meet at | Banquet Tonight. ’ !
