COCKTAILS PAVING
WAY TO new YORK
Nominated for Canal Zone
Governor, He'll Be Free
on January |, 1915.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington. Jan. 29-Colonel George w.
Goethals, builder Of the Panama Cahai
and nominated to-day for Governor or the
Canal Zone after April 1. will not leave his
work on the isthmus so long as the Pfesi-
dent feels that his services are needeu'
Before appointing him the President ue-
sired to know something OF Colonei
Goethals's intentions, and 10 ASCERTAIN
them the Secretary OF War sent the
colonel the following telegram;
In connection with the Presidents IN
tention to appoint you Governor may
assure him YOU do not desire to retire
from the service 80 long ms he feels your
services are needed
To this Colonel Goethals replied: Re
ferring to your cable OF 9th instant rela-
tive to Governorship, will not retire so
long as my services are needed
Secretary Garrison said this afternoon
that this exchange of cables constituted
everything that had passed between
Colonel Goethals and the President. or
between the canal builder and himself or
the War Department.
II ia believed there that Colonel
Goethals. with his thorough knowledge OF
conditions on the isthmus. and particu-
larlv Of the personnel OF the force or
workers, can accomplish the permanent
organization OF the canal staff within a
relatively short unexpectedly not more
than six months-and that II nothing un-
toward occurs Colonel Goethals's work on
the canal will be finished by the end or
the year. il not sooner. The canal open
ing is scheduled for January |, 1919, and
there Is no reason to believe there will be
any change in this plan.
IL is thought here, therefore, that Colo
mel Goethals will be at liberty TO retire
at that time. because then his services
will be no longer required on the canal.
Colonel Goethals's friends here say that
they do not know mis- intentions as TO the
Police Commlssionership of New York. but
they are beginning 10 believe that he Will
take the place after he has finished his
work I'm Panama.
AS chairman OF the Isthmian Canal
Commission Colonel Goethals now re-
ceives $1,000 a year. The Panama Canal
act fixes the salary of the Governor at
$4,000. Representative Britten, Of Illinois,
introduced a bill TO amend the law to
make the salary Of the Governor $1,000
so long as Colonel Goethals holds the
office.

SAYS PHILIPPINES
CAN BE DEFENDED
Swagar Sherley Declares Neither
Those Islands Nor Hawaii
Easy to Take.

Washington. Jan. 2q-DisaCreeng with
Rear Admiral Nreeland and members Of
the House Naval Affairs Committee as TO
the ability of Japan 10 seize the Philip
pines. REPRESENTATIVE SwagaT Sherley, Of
kentucky, while discussing the fortifca-
tons appropriation bill In the House to
day, asserted that it was unfair to the
army and navy TO allege that this coun-
try was totally unpropared for war
Explaining the items in the bill for the
fortfcatons of the Philippines and the
Hawaiian Islands, Mr.. Sherley said:
1T is not true to-day. taking the phyi
cal condition Of the Notifications in the
Philippines rs they now exist, that it
would be a matter of but little trouble
for an enemy TO capture them. OF course,
1t is perfectly manifest that with the
troops We now have I'm the Philippines
the islands as whole could not be sue
cessfully held against large invading
army.
Assuming that our fleet were destroyed
and IL We're possible 10 put on those ISL
ands several hundred thousand men. Or
even less, we could not, naturally hope
to hold the islands and the defences Of
the Philippines DO not contemplate the
defence OF the entire archipelago. They
do provide protection for Manila. and If
that should be captured they will pro-
vide such defence of Corrcgidor as
would enable the army there to hold out
and TO keep the flag flying for six months,
or a year. irrespective Of any aid that
might come from the navy.
Il make this statement with emphasis.
because ! do not feel il is fair 10 the
army, the navy or Congress that an I'M
preston should 20 abroad that We are
totally unprepared for war and for any
contingency. no matter how slight. that
might arise"
