i Fleet Commander Tells How
I " Navy Department Lagged
i; ; .In Preparations to Cope
With Menace.
Washington, March 16. Germany
,, misied an opportunity to paralyse
shipping and American troops
movements to France in the suni-
mer of 1918 by not sending a bat
. tie cruiser to raid convoys, Rear
Admiral Sims said continuing his
testimony before the senate commit
tee .investigating his charges against
the-Navy department's conduct of
. the twar. Although the department
war warned it September 1917, of
this danger,, he said, it had no com
prehensive plan to combat such an
enemy move 10 months later.
- '"The department acknowledged
" that it hadiot approved plans and
said that H depended upon the Eu
ropean forces and upon, the British
grand fleet to stand off the danger
until it had time to act," Admiral
Sims asserted.
'' The department suggested plan
, after plan in the intervening months,
xne aamirai sam, an uascu
wrong premise and most of whicn
. had .been previously considered and
rejected by the allies as unwork
able. k In August, 1918, word came that
the enemy was , preparing two
: cruisers for raiding duty,' Admiral
- Sims said, and not until then did Uit
department abandon its own ideas
'and " accept his recommendation
made 10 months before, that battle
ships be assigned to protect troop
ships. He read from the cable
gram accepting his planv in which
the .department said it was "only a
temporary expedient" 'and did not
"solve the problem of continued en
' emyx battle cruiser" activity in the
Atlantic." "

Supporters of the reservation
claimed tonight to .have sufficient
votes pledged to have it adopted, to

nounced the British rule in Ireland.
"The results of England's treat
ment of Ireland for the past 50 years
cannot be painted," he said. "Half

Senator Walsh of Massachusetts

Senator Kenyon of Iowa declared
it was time to call a halt on "twist
ing the British lion's tail."
"I am a friend of Ireland, not
merely because we are about to en
ter a campaign," he said, "but I an
tired of this demagoging against
Great Britain. Let's quit fussing
with Great Britain, because with
Britain we must stand for the civili
zation of the world.
"I have seen the British grand
fleet, land I viewed this'ereat force
of 1,500 vessels, I realized that there
was our first line of defense, Let's
quit insulting Britain." . .
Among the 11th hour reservations
submitted was one by Senator Len

"it shall be the declared , policy of
this government that if the freedom

Ebert's Plans Unknown.
Thus far. however, what the con

not known in Berlin. But the future
actions of the nationalists will oroh

optimistically, believed Ebert might

basis of agreement as outlined yes
terday Dy tne Kapp lactio.i seemed
to afford an opportunity for the two
contending governments to enter
into a discussion.
President Ebert's firm erin on ad
ministrative affairs in Berlin is in
dicated by the fact that the imperial
finance minister, by his orders, has
refused to turn over the money
necessary for the payment of the
troops, demanded by the revolution
ary chancellor, and the undersecre
taries of. "the Various - ministers,' as

of reading the Bible to a moron
hebephrenia and trying to fill lim
full of a variety of 'goodness' and
ambition, he should be committee
to a farm colony where he could
work for the city. Thus he would
cease to be a menace to society
and would not be 'waste' ma
terial." . ...
Dr. William J. Hickson, widely
known authority on psychopathic
subjects, says Chicago's own
maudlin- sentimentalism is re
sponsible for the appalling crime
here. . '
"About 90 per cent of Chicago
crime is committed by 'repeat
ers'" he continued. "It is done
by men and boys who have been
convicted and who have been
'given another chance.'
"If . the 'repeaters' that is the
men who are known criminals,
were eliminated from the life of
Chicago, one judge could handle
all the rest This maudlin atti
tude toward criminals is extreme
ly dangerous to society and to the
criminals as well."

Divolxe Set Aside;
Decision Leaves Man
With Two Wives Now
' .)..
The decree of divorce obtained by
Christian Nielsen, an employe of
the Eggerss-O'Flyng company, in
1917, was set aside by District Judge
Sears in district court yesterday on
the ground that it was illegally pro
cured. This action leaves Nielsen with
two wives, for he remarried after the
divorce was granted. His wife,
Lena Nielsen, has been in the Iowa
hospital for the insane since 1906.
In his petition for divorce and an af
fidavit supporting it, Nielsen swore
that his wife left him and that he
didn't know where she was. Insan
ity is not a ground for divorce in
the state or Iowa.
"I didn't hardly feel I was doing
right," said Nielsen in court, "but
my wife had been in the asylum for
