WANTED TO TALK; DRAW JAIL TERM (Correspondence Associated Press) '.VIENNA, May 10. -Austria Is try ing to organize an army to succeea the Volkswehr under the provisions of the bill hurriedly passed during the panic that - followed the German revolution. It is to be composed of 30,000 men. The treaty prohibits any aviation force. .The Socialist elements fought for a workingmen's army with great power vested in the Soldiers' Coun cillors, exceeding in practice the au thority of the officers themselves. They were unable to obtain all their demands but the Soldiers' Councillors were given a voice in the adjudication of complaints and in all disciplinary measures provided for in the military code. . - ' The Conservatives; however, won their point in securing the allocation of recruiting in the provinces on a population basis and in provisions prohibiting political activity by the military forces. These provincial units aro to be garrisoned within the province itself and no man can be foisted upon a unit -in a province in which he was not recruited without the consent of the province itself and the men must be. bona fide citizens of their pro vince. It is .this provincial arrangement that the Socialist elements opposed most bitterly. They desired a purely n tional army and its recruitment ad largely as possible from the' working classes. On the one hand, will be an army of peasant lads, and on the other of industrial classes from the manufacturing centers. - The contest between the provinces and the central government, or in Other words between the conserv atives and the socialists, is further illustrted in the curious "provisions that not only is, each provincial gov ernment empowered to frame the service rules for its own contingent, but the soldier takes oath to uphold the laws of both the central govern ment and those of his province. As there is much conflict in these it is not unlikely that a time will come when the army will not know. just what it is to do. In spite of the active efforts of I the Socialists, particularly the Work- S'x i ingmens' Councils, to spur recruiting, " (By Associated Press )" NEW YORK,, May 10.

" - - The Naval Secretary let go a broad side which included charges that Sims lacked vision, belittled . the work of the, navy in contrast t the British, t coveted British decorationa and as pired to become an honorary member ; of the British admiralty He declared Jbat: officer supporting 1 the Sims - charges were, largely "people with a.,, grievance." - . The' testimony ot other officers in possession of first hand knowledge, Secretary Daniels testified "Bhould be accepted by all open' minded men as an absolute refutation of practically all of Admiral Sims charges. - Sims, . Secretary Daniels told the' , committee, did ''not measure up to expectations in various ways of which he mentioned six as follows: - "He lacked vision to see that a great and new project to bar the siib- r marines should be immediately adopt ed and carried out no matter what the cost or how radical the departure from what ultraprudent men regard ed impracticable." ' ; ?. , "He seemed to accept the views of the British Admiralty as superior to anything that would come from America and urged those view's evea when the Navy Department proposed plans that proved more effective."; "In public speeches and other ways he gave a maximum of . credit to British efforts and minimized what his country was doing." - v : r "He coveted . British d'ecorations and seemed to place a higher value of honors given abroad than oa hon ors that could be conferred by the American government.?? 'He aspired to become a member of the British Admiralty and wrote complainingry when the American" . government .declined to permirJm to accept such a tender) by theljCIng ' of -England." -'- ::'y-tvs "He placed the protection of'-ftier- -chant shipping as. the main operation, of our force broad, failing to appre- . ciate that the protection of transports carrying troops to France wasJthr predominant naval duty until ' t elt ' impelled to cable peremptorilyy. that., such was our main mission." . s . -.'
