Washington, March 12.—A mis- conception of the prablem of defend- ing the American coast from subma- rine raids was partly responsible for the failure of the navy department to act on repeated recommendations to operatidns abroad during the ear months of the war, the senate investi- gating committee was told today by Rear Admiral Sims. The officer said that-during the first six months of the war he was told repeatedly that operations abroad wonld be dépendent upon what could be spared from the adequate defense of home waters. This policy was ad- hered to, he said, despite his efforts to convince officials in Washington that it was the. consensus of Allied naval opinion, as well as his own that the best defense for the American coast lay in offensive operations agair marines in the eastern Atlantic. As early as April, 1917, he said, several times thereafter he had in. formed the department of the likeli- hood that enemy submarines would attempt raids’ in American waters to “divert attention” and keep our forces out of the critical area in the eastern Atlantic through effect on public opin- ion.” The admiral insisted that he had at no time overlooked or minimized “the importance of the defense of home waters’” and read a letter writ- ten in June, 1917. in which he said “it would seem that the maximum protection we can give our own coa should be concentrated in the area in whkich the enemy is operating or must continue to operate or fail.” The correspondence read by the ad- miral disclosed the high degree of ef- ficieney attained by the Allied system of discovering the movement of enemy submarines. His messages to the de- sail- did water: of the be ex- gave warnings in advance of the ings of the two U-boats which shipping in American of their probable mission and points at which they could bected to strike.
