are now in the trenches "somewhere ;
In France."
Sec. 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.
