M. Alexandre Millerand was French Minister of War

from August 1914 to November 1915.

Admiral Sims, of the U.S. Navy, recently stated that

on the eve of his leaving for England some weeks

before the United States entered the War,

he was warned:

“Don’t let the British pull wool over your eyes.

It is none of our business pulling their chestnuts

out of the fire.

We would as soon fight the British as the Germans”.

Mr. Daniels,

Secretary of the U.S. Navy,

has denied that he used the words above quoted,

“or any words that would convey a like meaning”.

He explains that, at the time,

Congress had not declared war,

and Admiral Sims was warned not to do or say

anything to commit the United States

to any course pending an official announcement of its policy.

Sir Harold Stuart,

a distinguished Indian administrator,

has been appointed British High Commissioner,

on the Inter-Allied Rhineland High Commission.

Vice Admiral Sir Edward Charlton (President)

and the members of the Allied Naval Commission

left Portsmouth for Kiel

on January 15, in H.M.S. Malaya,

to ensure Germany’s carrying out

the naval terms of the Peace Treaty.
