'GOEIHALS CABLES
HIS ACCEPTANCE
Services as Canal Governor
at Mr.. Wilson's Disposal
Indefinitely.
SENATE INSTRUMENTATION
Regarded As Settled that Colonel
Will Remain on Zone Until Open
ing. January 1. 1915.
SENATE GETS NOMINATION

What little doubt existed as to the at
titude of Col Goethals toward his ap-
pointment as governor OF the Canal Zone
under the permanent government on the
Isthmus was dispelled yesterday when
Secretary Garrison received from the
colonel a cablegram declaring that his
services were at the disposal Of the Pres
ident as long as needed.
1t 10 now regarded ~ settled that Col.
Goethals will remain governor until the
canal Is formally opened to the world,
January !, 1915. and as much longer after
that date as he desires to stay. From
what the colonel has previously made
known, II 10 believed he will seek retire.
ment soon after the canal Is formally
opened, and that the question Of the
police commissionership OF New York
will not come up again until after the
first OF next year.
Secretary Garrison yesterday made pub
lie all the correspondence which. he said,
has passed between the colonel and the
administration with regard to the COL
opers tenure of position on the Isthmus.
On the day that II was announced that
Col Goethals would be nominated gov
ernor. Secretary Garrison cabled him as
follows:
"In connection with the Presidents in
tention to appoint you governor. may |
assure him you do not desire to retire
from service so long as he feels your
services are needed?'
GeethaIs Makes Reply.
The Secretary had reference to reports
that Col. Goethals would seek retirement
in order to become police commissioner
of New York.
Col. Goethals' reply was as follows:
Referring to your cable OF the lIth
instant, relative to governorship: will not
retire so long as my services are needed. &"
The nomination OF Col Goethals to be
governor of the Canal Zone was sent to
the Senate yesterday.
As soon as he becomes governor OF
the Canal Zone. instead OF chairman Of
the Isthmian Canal Commission. Col
Goethals will forfeit 5000 in salary. He
now receives $1,000 a year. while the
Adamson act provides that the COVER
nor's salary shall be only $4,000. The
act provides that out OF the Canal Zone
governments funds only the difference
between Col. Goethals' salary as an
army officer and SO 90 shall be paid.
A bill to prevent this reduction in
salary being suffered by Col Goethals
was introduced in the House yesterday
by Representative Brtten, Of Illinois.
Representative Britten holds that IL is
not quite right that Col. Goethals should
be rewarded for his work in building
the canal by having his salary reduced.
His BILL would change the amount Of
the governors salary only as long As
Col Goethals holds that position.

BY BURNING OF LOUVAIN
In Issuing Sharp Protest They
Ask Allies Not to
Retaliatc.

LONDON, Sept "A number Of we'll
known British scholars have issued
protest against the destruction Of Lou
vain. al the same time Issuing a plea
that the allies will not retallate by de-
stroying German centres " art
Among the signers OF the appeal are
Lord Aberdeen, rector OF the University OF
ST. Andrews, Prof. Mshany OF Trinity

Louvain University Swift McNeal. NJ.
p. Sir Horace Plunkett OF the National
Museum at Dublin. Charles Fitzgerald,
president Of the Royal Society of Sur
seons, and Walter Smith, president OF
the Royal Academy OF Medicine.
They say that the destruction of Lou
vain was "a violence against defenceless
-combatants unparalleled In European
history since the thirty years war. and
an injury to learning. science and educa-
ton, TO history and art, and to religion
and citizenship. which no military ext
gencies or expediences can extenuate,

They appeal TO the culture OF the Ger
man people TO use their influence to see

French Group Issues a Mani
festO Defending the Course
of the Government.
BLAME THE IMPERIALISTS
Declare It False That France
Was Preparing to Violate
Beloium's Neutrality.

Special T1ble Despatch 10 Tar SrS.
PARIS, September 7.
The French Socialists have issued a
manifesto to the international Socialists
on the subject of the war. The mani
festo. which is printed In three Ian
guages. declares that the Franco Bel
gian sections have done their duty in
favor of peace and against war. II
recalls the opposition Of the French
section to increased armament and
colonial expansion, as we'll as the
Moroccan policy OF the Government and
the three years military service bill,
which. II is declared was the result OF
Germany's increase of her army.
The manifesto declares that the
French Socialists kept in close contact
with the French Government during
the crisis which was brought about by
Austrla's ultimatum to Servia. When
Austria rejected Servia's pacific reply.
which proved that the imperalists of
Germany had inspired the desire for
war. the French Socialist party assured
itself that France had made every effort
to maintain peace. NJ. Viviani the
French Premier, accepted the proposal
OF the Socialists that a fresh appeal be
made to England to intervene as
mediator a few hours before Baron Won
Schoen, the German Ambassador at
Paris, had demanded his passports.
The German Socialists Of Paris. the
manifesto declares, fully approve Of the
action of the French section. but the
Socialists of Germany appear to have
been deceived in regard to the facts.
The manifesto then relates the false
accusations in regard to French
aviators dropping bombs on Nurem-
berg before war was declared, and that
French troops were preparing to invade
Belgium. 1t recites the facts Of Ger
many's violation of the neutrality Of
Belgium and Luxembourg and concludes
as follows:
THE Franco Belgian Socialists are
convinced that they were compelled to
submit to the hard necessity OF war and
we're thereby UNFOLDING the principle Of
liberty and the rights of the people to
dispose of themselves"
