CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION OF

Orders to return at once, and answer for the speeclt
delivered before the “English Speaking Union” in Lon-
don last weck, were cabled to Rear Admiral William S.
Sims Saturday. The instructions came from Secretary
of the Navy Denby. A. Congressional investigation of
the affair is also under way.
In the speech Sims, who is notorious for his pro-
British sentiments, bitter! ly abused Americans who favor,
a friendly attitude by the United States toward Ireland,
advised that any action taken by the American Congress
in connection with the matter be treated with contempt
by England, and sneered at the republican form of gov-
ernment.
When it became apparent that the Rear Admiral
would probably be severely disciplined, even perhaps dis-
missed from the navy, for this outburst, all the pro-Brit-
ish elements in the country rallied to his support. Indi-
viduals and groups who would not have had a word of
commendation for any service to the United States were
loud in their approval of this effort to help England. [t
was plainly evident, however, that the “hands across the
sea” element, numerically a very weak body, was the only
