Navy Department Frightened. Information from authentic sources indicating that the Germans were building two heavily armored modern battle cruisers’ for a desperate last hope raid against troop ship convoys was transmitted to the navy depart- ment the admiral said, and immedi- itely he was be! d with cable- ums from Washington outlining | various plans of action, all of which, - | he testified, were impracticable. al- | though such a contingency had been { under discussion for nearly a year and there had been ample time to prepare. “If the enemy had only known,” uid Admiral Sims “all he need have ; done was to make u series of bluffs involving little risk to himself and we would have done the rest. Ship- ping would have heen paralyzed.” Four Plans of Action. Admiral Sims discussed at four plans proposed by the ment for defeating Germany sea. They were: A protected lane through the dan ger zone; the blocking of German | | ports by sinking ships in the entrance: mine barriers of nets and mines of types then in use; mine barriers of | mines of 4 new type. All except the last were impracticable, he declar nd much time was wasted by the in- tence of the department that they tried. The department wished solar plexus blows against the sub-. | marine campaign, the admiral said | and suggested many schemes shich long before had been rejected by the | Allies. Such a plan was that of sink- | ing old battleships and cruisers in the | entrances to all rman submarine base harbors. Admiral Sims asserted nd only after he had pointed out that the scheme would require sink. ing of 40 battleships and 43 cruisers | and six months of preparation did the | department agree to abandon the plan | It took seven months of effort to bring the Washington officials to the final conclusion, Opposed Mine Barrage. On May 11, 1917, the navy depart- . firet suggested the idea of a 'rage of mines across the North ! sea to trap the German, sea forces | Admiral Sims said and at ‘that time he opposed the plan because the Al- lies could not afford to divert the large numbers; of men and ships and ington, the length depart- on the be to | ( Admiral i ed, he said. i Later when the submarine cam-! paign was well in hand and a new | type of antenna mine developed in | this country, he approved the idea, ' he id, and helped to expedite the . laying of the barrage. The result, the North sea mine barrage, was a | magnificent achievement, the ad- s miral s reflecting great credit on navy and the ofiice and men were responsible the suc- cess of the project. Sims said wished to refute an ly circulated” that the dep: had proposed and from the t fa- vored the mine barrage project and that he was “about the only officer the navy who had ever opposed id, who for he assertion particularly “wide- ment Had Littic Information. The navy department at ‘the time the United States entered the war, the admiral said, was not “very much better informed than the general publfe of actual conditions in the bellizerent countries and had but little trustworthy informatiod rezard- ing such matter submarine losses, shipping loss antizsubmarine measures or other matters concern- ing which complete knowledge ws essential to the development of e fectivg plans for combatting the sub- marine menace.
