eie-n honor! and deeorationa by Amer
icon naval officers. The Admiral, who
' favored aueh deeorationa while Mr,

menta he made in recommending that

miral for his war service. - Secretary
Danieia declared that he would aot now
make inch recommendation aa devel
opments ainea his original action had
caused him to change hie mind. .
Cites 8lma' Indiscretion.
- He sited what he characterised aa Ad
miral Sims,' effort to magnify the
achievements of the British- army and
navy in the war and to minimize the
remits obtained by the United States
forces, injudicious statement contained
' In n recent seriea of article by Admiral
Sinia regarding the Navy' part in the
war, including a "gratuitous reflection
on the whole Irish race, and the offi
cer's aetion in having made public offi
cial instructions of a highly eonfidea-
tial nature as having led to a change in
i his'view regarding special promotion
for Admiral Him. , .
, ' Mr.' Daniels- said he tad'waivedreguV
' lations requiring officers to submit ar
ticle to th department before publi.
, cation because he "wished to show.Ad
: aural Sims ' ovary . aonaideration and
, eourtesy," and expected the article! to
be confined strictly to Amerioan naval
1 partfclpatien in the war;-' '
"I am 'very aorry now that 1 gave
"Rear Admiral Him 'that latitude and
that, I did not require him" to ubmit his
article to the department," Secretary
Daniels said.

- Debate of the peaee Ivearjy of the
Navy's eonduct of the r, of Admiral
"Sima" literary ability and many other
subject consumed much of the commit
tee time while Chairman Hale made
. ineffectual effort 1 to get th hearing
back- on the subject of - decoration.
- .Asked by Chairman Hale, however. If
"the changing ' of recommendations for
medals did not have an effect on naval
; morale, as Admiral Sim had charged,
? Secretary Daniela-replied' ' "not that
much, mapping hi flagera.
"Wouldn't such a policy cause . snae j
niiiviir.1 men VU.HUI.B univi

' pKM Secretary Daniels, "but heartburn
would not effect the morale of mm like
v those who manned our hip it might
' effect the people who' want to wear
medal and ribbons, but there aren't
many of them." - ? 'V'"'V:
, Secretary Daniels' said that some
one had to Justify and atandardixe the
award of medala and that he did it him
self with the aid of the Knight Board.
Expects to Reward Ability.' . .'
Chairman Halo challenged Secretary.
JJuniel' action In awarding medal to
commanding, officers 'of ship sank or
damaged by th enemy. Th Secretary
reiterated hi purpose to reward eour
. age and professional ability, whether
' the men lost th ship or not."
Z intend to stick to that policy, that
is what medala are for," he added with
some feeling.. ., ' .', & ' ."-.,,.
1 Chairman Hale showed a disposition
i to dwell particularly; on the ease of
t Commander D. W. Bagley, th Seer
i tary's brother-in-law, whoso destroyer,
Jacob Jones, was rank by anbmarine.
, "That ease la jut lilt all th others,"
. Mr. Daniel saidT -1
"Let th record apeak' for Itself." ' "
Of Sear Admiral Decker, who declined
: the Navy Cross, swarded him because he
contended it was not proportionate to
f his service at Madrid; t Secretary
Daniel declared he waa "a patriotic
and sincere officer, but waa always hav-
ing differences of opinion- with tha
Ambassador." .'; -Xt'h.i -'',.
. "If he did have sufficient control o. or
( the' Spanish government to keen tint

him to aay so," Mr. Danieia added.

. of th navy' eonduct of the war. Secre-
tary Danieia said he wonld order all
th officers wanted to testify "from the
-Asiatic squadron if necessary," but
would not order say on to -Washington
"to( help Admiral Sim help make a
1 ease." : .
"He baa made charges,' 'said Secre

preted to mean that Georgians are go
ing to divide their support between
Senator Oscar W. Underwood and Wil

Georgia, in 1912, went for Senator
Underwood by a large majority, al
though the then Mrs. Wilson, wife of
th President, wa a native Georgian.
There is, according to information
reaching the oflice of the Georgia Sen
ators, a recurrence of the Underwood
sentiment and while the Alabama Sena

Mention of the asms of Senator Lodge

of Kansas, as vice-president, has added

to the Roosevelt mantle, a thing that no
Republican . candidate is willing to
ignore and aching wliich every one
is insisting belongs to him.
Crowder Is Mentioned.
Added to thin is a-report current in

suggestion that the next few months
