Daniels Declines to Give Information Regarding Loss of Army Transport Washington, Jan. 4.—Secretary j Daniels declined to-day to disclose any Information regarding the in | v quiry into the loss of the American | ♦.rnu' transport Antilles, recently ! tortlSfl6V(l with considerable loss of life. Only meager details of the loss have been made public. Admiral Benson yesterday told the House Naval Committee it was due in part to the convoy arrangements. It is known that following an investiga tion Rear Admiral William B. Fletcher, formerly in charge of the American convoying forces in French waters, was recalled to the United States. There appears to l)e some question here as to the num ber of war vessels furnished to him for convoy by Vice Admiral Sims. There is no available official record to show the recall of Admiral Fletcher *-was connected with the disaster. Secretary Baker. In the War De partment. apparently takes the same position as does Secretary Daniels in regard to of officers from important posts. He has made no explanation as yet of the recall of Major General Sibert. .commanding the first division of American troops sent to France and has requested that no speculation as to the reason behind the recall of high officers be indulged in. So far as known, however, the only purpose of the re quest is to protect the feelings of the individual officer and not the • •encealnient of military information that might be of value to the enemy.
