Sims said that al-| though he repeatedly urged that) every destroyer and small craft be} dispatched to this area his recom: mendation was not. complied with until six months later. He recommended, he said, that two divisions of .U, S. dreadnoughts , be sent to Brest to prevent raids in the despatched to this area his recom- mendation was disregarded. “If the tonnage lost in 1917 had | been saved by the prompt co-opera~- tion of the navy,” he said, “America could have had a million men in France at the beginning of 1918 in- stead of 300,000." Admiral Sims said the German of-) fensive of 1918 was caused by failure of the submarine campaign and that | it never would have been undertaken and the morale of the German people would have been broken if the Amer- uniting in guaranteeing to each othert absolutely political inde- pendence and territorial integrity. In the gecond place, and as necessary corroilary to that guar- anteeing, the agreement to settle ali pending boundary disputes as 8002 as possible and by amicable + process; by agreeing that all dis- putes among themselves, should be they unhappily arise, will handled by patient, impartial vestigation, and settled by ar! tration; and the agreement nec: essary to the peace of the Amer- icas that no state of elther con- tinent will permit revolutionary expeditions against another state to be fitted out on its territory, and that they will prohibit tho exportation of the munitions of war for the purpose of supplying revolutionists against neighbor- ing governments.” It will be noted that President Wil- son virtually proposed to the Latin- American Governments at that time what he has suggested in Article Ten of the Covenant, Indeed, nothing came of. the three proposals because of the outbreak of the war, which u set international relations — eve where, but the most vital principles sot forth by Mr. Wilson in January, 1915, have now been émbodied in the Covenant. and the new members of tho League from Central and South America’ would be able to invoke Article Ten if the United States did not respect their political indepen- dence. of territorial integrity. That is why the insistenc cer- ates umes ho obligation under Article has Hbeen misunderstood in other parts-of this hemisphere. It has been feared that the Senate did not want to pledge itself not to take territory from neighboring countries. That is |why Mr, Wilson's definition of the | Monroe Doctrine us a principle of non- aggrandizement by the United States \as well as Huropean countries assumes ‘new importance in Central and South America and ig regarded as about the most important announcement - on inter-American policy that has been made since the end of the war, ASK TO KILL THEIR ‘ SISTER’S SLAYER | Brothérs Go to Witness Electrocu- tion: of Negro and Want to Turn On the Current, LEXINGTON, Ky., March 10.—T. and R.-L.

The message #aid the TD “partment intended to send 36 de-| stroyers to thé British Isles and asked for minute information regard- ing supplics at Berehaven, the prob- able base. “All of these plans should have been worked out before we entered the war," said Sims, “and should |: have been placed in effect’ the day | we entered.” Admiral Sims sald that when he found that his own efforts to impress upon the Navy Department the se riousness of the situation were un- availing, he invoked the ald of the} late Ambassador Page at London, | who on April 27,1917, sent @ confiden- | tial cablegram to Secretary Lansing and President Wilson, declaring that “there is reason ‘for the greatest | alarm about the issue of: tle war, | caused by the increasyig success of German submarines. Declaring that Britih ant!-subma- rine forces were entirely unable to stem the rising tide of sinkings, the Ambassador urged the immediate as- signment of every available United | States destroyer) and submarine chaser to British waters.

After consulting the British Admiralty, Sims said he unged the Navy Department not to gend any orcea to the Arctic, but to follow his riginal recommendations.
