4 Merited Rank for COethalS.

That is logical proposal that an additional major
generalshlp in the army shall be created for Colonel
Goethals, to he held by him alone, if he does not
enter the service of this city and to lapse on his
death or retirement There have been similar crea-
lions in recognition of great services in war There
NAV we'll be one in recognition of no less distin-
guished services in peace.
The work OF Colonel Goethals at Panama has been
peaceful, yet essentially military His success has
been largely due TO his employment Of military
methods and his enforcement Of military discipline.
There are many judcious observers who doubt
whether under non military conditions the work
could ever have been achieved.
Certain it is that in his direction Of the canal
work Colonel Goethas has shown the qualities not
only Of an accomplished engineer but also of a most
efficient and masterful commander and leader Of
men-the qualities essential I'm general officer Of
the army He IS worthy of whatever honor the
rank can confer upon him, and it is to be believed
that I'm that rank he would render services com
mensurate with the honor.
