Gongress leely to lnvesugate Naval Controversy R, Washington, Dec. 24.—Congression- al investigation it was indicated today, 1t result from the controversy be- Admiral Sims and Secretary Daniels over the awards of D. S. med- tween als in the navy. The rcport of the awards of decora- tions has been transmitted ta the sen- ate naval committec by Secretary Dan- iels at the request of Chairman Page. Representative Lufkin, republican, Massachusetts, member of the house naval committee, said he would ask the house to call for a similar report. The issue, which has been smolder- ing in inner naval circles, came out into the apen with the publication of a letter written by Admiral Sims to Secretary Daniels in which he declined to accept his D. S. medal unless the list of awards were revised to include those recommended by him to receive the second highest naval decoration. In his letter, Admiral Sims says that of the 19 officers recommended by Him for the D. S. medal only six received it. e declared that a commanding to Judge the relative merits of officers en- titled to reward, that a board of wards system could not be fair, and that officers in important administra- | tive posts an shore occupied relatively { more responsible positions than those serving at sea. ! Secretary Daniels in his report to the committee said the entire contro- versy revolved around the question of which class of service—shore or sea— was more important. He expressed the opinion that only shore duty of the highest importance should be recog- nized equally with positions of grave danger in the active war zone. He de- | i clared that under the law and by au- & NIVEN | ment that the commanding officers. ot thority of the president it was the| secretary of the navy’s duty to make the final decision. In response to Admiral Sims’ state- | ships sunk by enemy submarines Secre- tary Daniels sald that in his opinion the D. S. medal should be awarded to those officers in command of ships of the navy which were sunk by subma. rine attack and whose conduct was meritorious.

Evening Until 9 O’clock When the question to keep the store open Christmas Eve or not came up the management Was undecided. It recognized that Christmas Eve is a time when everybody likes to be at home or with relatives or friends. It also recognized that there are a great many people who find that at the last minute there are things they want to buy to make Christmas happy for some one and that such people would be accommodated by having the store open on Christmas Eve. The store management decided to put the matter up to the departmnt managers. They are in a close touch with the public and know their wishes. They also feel the same desire that all people do to spend Christmas Eve at home. There are 28 department managers in the store. BEach en was asked to vote as to what he or she thought should be done. The vote stood 17 in favor of keepin, opern 2nd 11 in favor of closing at 6 Wednesday. As a majority voted in favor of keeping open it wl: so decided. The store will be open until 9 o’clock therefore, on Wednesday. In order to show its appreciation of the splendid loyalty and co-operation of its emploves and to make up for the loss of Christmas Eve the management has decided to give each employe a day off af any time desired except on Saturday or Sale Day. It has also allowed one half the eales force to re= port at 10 Tuesday morning and the other half at 10 Wednesday morning, S0 as to glve them extra rest in the morning to help recuperate from the strain of the hollday business. ‘While on this subject it may be said that the holiday trade this year has far exceeded that of any other year in the history of the store.
