GREAT BITTERNESS IS SHOWN ^fratle Bottom lay A ska Whether Qovv J)rnment Knew of Honor Being Conferred on De Valera ,"Preatalent of Irleh Republic/* '& .London, May 10.--The subject of the .support given to the "Irish republic" toy some persons in the United States ;came up In the commons. Horatio Bottomley asked whether the government was aware that appeals for subscriptions for bonds addressed by De Valera as "president of the Irish republic" were still appearing in American newspapers and were supported by the governors of various states, •nd whether Great Britain proposed to make representations on the matter to President Wilson. Mr. Bonar Law, replying in behalf of the government, said It was under- Stood that such appeals were still appearing in certain American papers,, but he was not In a position to say whether they were supported by any governor. Great Britain, he added, was not prepared to make representations. Mr. Bottomley asked whether Mr. Law had seen the announcement that already £2,000,000 had been subscribed to this fund and that triumphant processions had gone through the principal streets of the United States In celebration of the event, and that De Valera had been entertained by state governors. He asked if Mr. Bonar Law did not consider that in international law this amounted to an unfriendly act. t The government leader said he had cot seen a statement of the specific facts named, but it did not alter liis ,Tlew regarding Great Britain's right course, namely, that it was not always wise to take action to which a country had the legal right Capt. William Wedgewood Benn wanted to know whether the government would take steps to halt the malicious campaign which, he declared, was destroying the friendly relations between this country and the United States. To this Mr, Bonar Law did Cot reply. Robert Burton Chadwlck asked whether Mr. Bonar Law was aware that "the outlaw" was recently hon ored with the freedom of New Orleans and whether any representations had been made to the United States in the fSce of "this deliberate Insult by an ostensibly friendly power." Mr. Bonar Law answered that he was satisfied the good feeling of the United States was not represented at all by such demonstrations and he did not believe that any action the British government could take against them would have any other effect than to make the relations worse. In a debate in the house of lords Baron Birkenhead, lord high chancellor, on behalf of the government, said It was intended to continue the policy of giving to the Irish executive all possible assistance and support. He added that in no conceivable circumstances would the government concede the demands of the Sinn Fein. "Every single motive which led the United States to resist the attempt at secession would operate with even greater force to determine this country," said the chancellor, and he would remind the Sinn Felners that the race which had resisted the might of the German empire would not yield to a section of desperate people In Ireland. 06RE60N BOSS OF MEXICO GUY Takes Complete Possession as Carranza Escapes t| .

Agtra T^iieta, Mex., May 11.- Ifeaflquarters of General Calles, commander In chief of the revolutionary forces, received information that General Carranza, who fled from Mexico City Saturday, has arrived at the outskirts of Vera Cruz with an escort of 75 men. He was reported to have Issued a statement saying he had not yet given up the fight. Washington, May 1L--The flight of Carranza from Mexico City has been confirmed by advices here to «the revolutionary headquarters. An official telegram from Vera Cruz received at the state department says that General Obregon has taken complete possession of Mexico City. It Is said that Carranza, after leaving on a train bound for Vera Cruv got off the train and proceeded eastward on horseback. Ordinarily an event of this kind would mean the end of the revolution. It may now become necessary for the United States to deal with the persons at the head of the emergency government at Mexico City. Instructions would go to George Summeriin, the American charge d'affaires at Mexico City, to that effect. Advices to headquarters here of the Sunora revolutionists say Neuva Laredo surrendered after a fight in which there were three casualties and the commander of the Carranza forces was wounded. Piedras Nlegras, opposite Eagle Pass, and Matamoras, opposite Brownsville, Tex., the dispatches added, were expected to surrender and Tarapico would fall. It Is announced by the navy department that the destination of the Dolphin, which left New Orleans under secret orders, Is Tamplco. The Dolphin Is a small vessel, but she was the nearest to Tamplco and will reinforce the Sacramento, which Is already there, and which, It is understood, has moved up the Tanuco river to observe the military movements of rebels am. Carranzistas with respect to the. oil wells and other property. It is probable that the hurry call to the Dolphin was caused by the news which arrived here from another quarter that the port of Lobos, on the east Mexican coast, has been captured by the rebels. This is the first post on that coast to be won by the revolutionaries and It Is an important place for the export of oil for the United States and other nations. Navy officers, who are in charge at the oil fields, will act, it is understood, something in the character of commissioners, and will endeavor to arrange that there shall be no fighting endangering the American and foreign properties. It is expected that at least half of the force of 1,200 marines under Colonel Bannon, which will leave Philadelphia as soon as the transport Henderson arrives there to convey them south, will debark at Tampico for the oil district generally. The others will be sent to Vera Cruz, It being well understood that the ordering of the ships and men to Key West was only a half-way order. The immediate need of marines. It Is stated by army people, is that the United States shall be in a position, with a small force If necessary to keep the telegraph and railway line open between Mexico City and Vera Cruz. Army officials said significantly that the army probably will have the same work to do as the navy with respect to the Interior of Mexico. If, as now appears to be the fact, communication is cut off either from the northern boundary or the big cities on the eastern coast, with the Mexican capital; where are located the United States diplomatic representatives and the largest number of American citizens, the army must soon get orders to co-operate with the navy to lift the curtain. That there is a serious obstruction is shown by tlie fact that revolutionary headquarters here have no news direct from Mexico City, and that the lines to Mexico City have been cut for several days.

BELITTLED THE U. * WT Declares Naval Commander Qavs Maximum of Credit to British Efforts and Minimized What Hppf ^ •v Country Was Doing. ^ 'M' "•' > Washington, May 12. -- Secretary Daniels, before the senate investigating committee, made hMT long-awaited reply to the criticism of Rear Admiral &lms of the navy's part in the war. The naval secretary lSt go a broadside which includes charges that Sims lacked vision, belittled the work of the American navy In contrast to the British, coveted British decorations and. aspired to become an honorary mem-j ber of the British admiralty. * The testimony of other officers in possession of first-hand knowledge,; Secretary Daniels testified, "should be accepted by all open-minded men as' an absolute refutation of practically8 all of Admiral Sims' charges." Sims, Secretary Daniels told the com-'; mittee, did not measure up to ex- Jf; pectations In various ways, of which he mentioned six, as follows: "He lacked vision to see that a great and new project to bar the submarines from their hunting grounds should be promptly adopted and carried out, no matter what the cost or how radical the departure from what ultraprudent men regarded -as impracticable. "He seethed to accept the views of the British admiralty as superior to anything that would come from America and urged those views even when the navy department proposed plans that proved more effective. "In public speeches and other ways he gave a maximum of credit to British effort and minimized what his country was doing. "He coveted British decorations and seemed to place higher value on hon-" ors given abroad than on honors that' could be conferred by the American government. "He asplrefl to become a member of the British admiralty and wrote complalningly when the American government declined to permit him to accept such a tender by the king of England. "He placed protection of merchant shipping as the main operation of our forces abroad, failing to appreciate that the protection of transports carrying troops to France was the paramount naval duty until I felt impelled to cable him peremptorily that such was our main mission." Secretary Daniels testified that had he known that in October, 1918, Sims had made statements reflecting upon the contributions of the United States' army and navy to winning the war to members of congress visiting abroad, he would never have recommended his promotion. "If I had known that he proposed, under the permission granted him, to tell the story of what the navy had done overseas, to denounce the Irish people as he did in his article In the World's Work, the permission would not have been granted," he said. The Investigating committee, Secretary Daniels said, had been "wearied and the public nauseated with an abortive attempt to ferret out the molehills of mistakes and exaggerate them into mountains, to make a noble and notable accomplishment appear as the dim and fading background of a frontispiece of comparatively unimportant errors of Judgment." "The navy's record in the war stands untouched today and for all time, despite criticisms from within or without," he said. The portion of Admiral Sims' celebrated letter that shocked the public more than any other, Mr. Daniels said, was the statement that he had been told at the navy department "not to let the British pull the wool over yoijr eyes. We would as soon fight them as the Germans." I must confess that It shocked me," declared the secretary, "for in all my years of association with officers of the navy this was the first time I had ever known one to make public any confidential conversation with a superior officer. I did not believe it was possible for an officer of our navy to do such a thing. "The people could not understand how any patriotic American who put the good of his country first could possibly spread broadcast a statement which reflected upon his own government and might tend to disturb the cordial relations with a friendly poV er, and violate the confidence reposed tp him."
