XHULBIG QUESTION IN ' "
"HE NAVAL INQUIRY
r^Tv Washington Post On The Sim's'
v-/ Daniel Controversy Over
Medal Awards
Under the above heading The Washjgton
Post in a recent issue publish- <
od the following editoral with reference
to the inquiry now being made 1
by a Senate committee into the matter
of distinguished service awards
by thejsecretary of the navy, who it
appears, practically ignored the recommendations
of the Knight board,
; and resulted in the refusal, by Admiral
Sims, to accept, a medal of
honor and the subsequent investigation
into the methods of awards to
naval officers as a recognition for
distinguished or meritorious service
rendered during the great world war:
"The country will not be misled by
organized efforts on the part of legislative
or executive adherents of
Josephus Daniels to becloud the issue
that has resulted from the navy scanunder
investigation by the
"Senate committee on naval affairs.
Admiral Sims told the committee he
was given verbal instructions on the
eve of his departure for England not
to let the British pull the wool over
his eyes, and that "we"?which meant,
presumably, the Navy Department?1
"would as soon fight the British as
the Germans." And this after the
United Stares had broken off diplomatic
relations' with Germany and
was on the eve of entering the war
on the side of the allies.
Iliis disclosure by Admiral Sims
may or may not have been discreet;
it may or may not have been in good
taste; perhaps the startling fact
should never have been permitted to
reach the public. Opinion may differupon
these points, but there is cerm
4.
tainly no divergence 01 views us w
the absolute truthfulness of this or
any other statement coming from the
lips of that sturdy old sea fighter,
_ Admiral Sims. Secretary Daniels seized
the first opportunity to officially
deny that he, personally, ever gave
such instructions, but with that facility
for juggling with words, as well as
decorations and awards that has characterized
his administration, Josephus
took good care not to deny the accuracy
of the charge.
What the country wants to know
is, who gave Admiral Sims those verbal
instructions, and why that officer
was not removed the moment the
Secretary knew of them. It is inconceivable
that Josephus Daniels was
sot thoroughly familiar with all the
details leading up to the departure |
?v y
/
of Admiral Sims for England. The
country also wants to know' why, if
Josephus Daniels gave approval, if
only by his silence, to instructions
such as these at such a critical moment
in the war for civilization, his
resignation was not demanded.
But instead of resigning from the
office where weakness and incompetency
have shown themselves from
the beginning of his administration, i
Josephus Daniels is playing politics
and his followers are attempting to
shift the blame from his shoulders to
those of the man who disclosed the
orders which, in effect, sought to send
him to England, not as an ally but
as a spy.
This effort to shift the burden Jf
responsibility culminated in the Senate
in a resolution by Senator Walsh,
of Montana, declaring it "to be the
Senate that the disclosure of the alleged
admonition by Admiral Sims,
constituting, if given, a part of the
secret instructions of an officer of
the United States navy on the eve of
his departure on a mission of the
highest importance and most extreme
delicacy, merits universal and unqualified
reprobation."
That attempt to "pass the buck"
failed, as it should have failed. The
Senate repudiated the sentiments
voiced in the resolution and rejected
it. By that vote the Senate let the
country know it was Josephus Daniels
and not Admiral Sims who was
on trial before the investigating committee.
The name of the high official in the
naval office who gave Admiral Sims
his instructions will be given to the
American people in due time by the
Senate investigating committee. For
the moment that committee is limiting
its inquiry to those peculiar
methods by which the Navy Secretary
determined how and to whom he
should award decorations for services
performed in the war, regardless of
the actions of the naval board appointed
for that purpose.
When the disclosure of the admiral
are again taken up he will be asked
the direct question which will bring
out the identity of the man whom
Secretary Daniels seeks to shield.
Who was on guard.in those critical
times is the overshadowoing question.
If Josephus Daniels protected and retained,
in place of power, any officer
who only half-heartedly entered into
the, business of war, the people will
want to know what is the mysterious
influence that keeps him at the head
of the navy.
William Jennings Bryan, when he
differed with the President, had the
courage to resign. Josephus Daniel^
the protege of Bryan, and through
whose influence he was chosen for the
imnortant nost. was the first hectic
visitor to reach Bryan's home- after
that official left the State Department
on that memorable occasion. He ap-1
pealed to Bryan as to what he should!
do, having decided to follow his peerless
leader. Bryan told him that Tiis
differences with the President related
solely to matters of policy, and advised
that his action should have no
influence upon any of his personal
friends in the cabinet.
How unfortunate for his country
that Daniels did not follow Bryan.
Had he done so a few ,less reforms j
might have been established in the
navy, but the morale would have been !
preserved.
Flank attacks to befuddle the peo- j
pie and becloud the real issue will
continue, but neither Daniels nor his
navy satellites, nor members of the
Senate or House who had relatives
f
in cond naw berths, can wipe out the
stain placed upon the honor and dignity
of the United States through at-1
tacks upon the one man in the navy
who realized what his duty was and J
had the personal and moral courage'
to do it."

If you get the influenza, see a doctor
at once?but why get it? Isn't it
worth while, instead, to take every

Probably the best and first thing to
do is to maKe sure you are m guuu

almost wherever you go you are
exposed to influenza. As long as you
are really well, the redforpuscles of
your blood fight off ar.d defeat disease
germs. But when you are tired and
run down, when you feci all right except
that you haven't much energy or
enthusiasm, your blood is tired out
too, and you are an easy victim.
Pepto-Mangan has become famous
as a builder of rich, vigorous blood.
It helps you up when you are run ,
down. It relps you avoid illness. Or,
it helps you recover, if you realized
your poor physical condition too late.
Physicians have been recommending
Pepto-Siangan for years, in cases of
anemia (bloodlessness). It is reliable,
effective, and has a record of over
twenty-five years success. Take no
chances with a run-down condition.

Pepto-Mangan is sold in liquid and

FOUGHT HER ILLS
QUARTER CENTURY
FOUND TANLAC RELIEVED HER
AS QUICKLY AS IT DID
FRIENDS
TOOK OTHERS' ADVICE
Speaking From Experience, Anderson
Woman Says She Is Glad To
Recommend Tanlac
Twenty-five years is a long time
for anyone to contend with a physical
ailment, but Mrs. A. C. Allison, of 32
Market street, Anderson, says tha,t
during that many years she suffered
with a number of troubles befor-'she
be gan taking Taniac, which, she said,
soon g&ve her relief. Now, in her endorsement
of Taniac, Mrs. Allison
says "it is a fine medicine."
Discussing her troubles, her efforts
to find relief and the results gave her,
Mrs. Allison says:
"I suffered with indigestion, sleeplessness
and nervous troubles. I had
no appetite and was broken down
generally. I would have bad spells of
nervousness at times and I lacked
strength and energy. I had been this
way for twenty-five years and had
spent a small fortune trying to find
permanent relief, but failed. I am get- j
ting well along in years and I needed J
a general tonic. My friends had told i
me so much about Taniac and the re- J
lief it gave them, so I began taking [
Taniac myself. Taniac broke up my i
indigestion right away, just as I was |
told it had done for others. My nerves j
became steady and I began to gain
strength. After taking a bottle or so
of Tanlac I could sleep well. In all, I
took four bottles of Tanlac. I know
from my own experience that Tanlac,
is good for ailments such as I had,1
and I am glad to recommend it. It is i
a fine medicine."
Tanlac, the master medicine, is
sold by Kingstree Drug Co., Kingstree;
Farmer's Drug Co., Hemingway;
