Fleet Only Adds Fuel to Flames.
Washington, July 19.-Major Gen
eral George w. Goethals will resign,
his friends say, unless he is given a
free hand in the construction of the
great steel and wooden emergency
fleet designed to beat the German sub
marine campaign.
The general confided this intention
to his associates as his controversy
with Chairman Denman of the ship
ping board waxed hotter. Denman
charges Goethals with responsibility
for the delay.
1t now appears that instead of set
Ting the Goethals-Denman controver-
sy President Wilson, by his executive
order, only added fuel to the flames.
The president sought to effect a COM
promise, but failed.
He made Denman in his executive
order the supreme authority in carry
ing out the ship building program,
but he wrote a letter to General Goe-
thals assuring the general that this
action was only formality and that
the general would be absolutely UNI
hampered in the construction of the
fleet
Acting on this assurance, General
Goethals announced the vast program
of construction which he said he was
ready to inaugurate. Denman, who is
president of the fleet corporation, in
stead of calling meeting of the d.
rectors. wrote General Goethals ask
ing for details of his plan. Since then
there has been considerable CORE
sIondence between the two officials in
which Denman has questioned Gen.
eral Goethals' plans at every step.

Would End Economic War.

Count Czernin then came to the final
principles which he said 1t was necessary
to observe to insure the free and pacific
development Of the world. namely. eco
nomic freedom. He said economic war
must absolutely be eliminated from every

Fleets Will Have No Purpose.

"Gigantic fleets will have no further
purpose when the nations of the world
guarantee the freedom of the seas and
land armies will be reduced to the level
required for the maintenance of inter-
nal order. Every state will have to
give up something of its independence
for the purpose Of insuring the world
peace.
Probably the present generation will
not live to see the completion Of this
great pacific movement. 1t can only be
realized slowly. but I consider it our
duty to place ourselves at the head Of
the movement to do everything human
possible to accelerate its materializa-
ton"
Evening star., 1917-10-04
Economic Ruin Possible.

Arguing that competition in arma-
ments after the war would mean eco
nomic ruin for all states and declaring
that Austria Hungary had not been
prepared for war, and had only made
up during the conflict for her former
neglected military equipment, Count
Czernin continued:
This war taught US that we must
reckon on a great increase In former
armaments. With unrestricted arma-
ments the nations would be compelled
to increase tenfold everything and the
military estimates of the great powers
would amount to billions That is i'm
possible 1t would mean complete ruin
to return to the armament status of
1914 would be a great reduction, but
there would be no meaning in not go
ing further and actually disarming.
Hence complete disarmament is the
only issue from the difficulty.
Evening star., 1917-10-04
Answers Criticism.

Saying that he had been blamed both
at home and in unfriendly countries for
plain speaking with regard to the
Austro-Hungarian peace terms, Count
CZernin proceeded:
Il withdraw nothing, being convinced
that an overwhelming majority of the
people approve my standpoint 1 feel
compelled to say something publicly re-
garding the government ideas as to the
restoration of Europe's shattered re-
lationships.
I'm broad outline our program for the
re-establishment of order in the world
has been laid down In our reply to the
Pope's note. 1t may appear to be in
conceivable to many people that the
central powers desire to make renun-
citation with respect to military arma-
ments. But the war has produced new
facts, conditions and conceptions which
have shaken the foundation of Euro
pean politics as they previously have
existed
Evening star., 1917-10-04
Conversion to Disarmament.

Count Czernin said a plain statemen
of war aims was indispensable. HI
explained the conversion of the centra
powers to the doctrine of disarmament
by declaring that armaments were nee
essary until the world was convinced
that Austria-Hungary was not dying
state, subject to dismemberment.
In conclusion Count Czernin threat
ened that unless peace without annexa-
tions or indemnities were immediatel!
accepted 1t would be necessary FOL
Austria Hungary to revise its program
and seek compensation for further cost:
of the war.
Evening star., 1917-10-04
Basic Idea Of Pope's Note.

Strongly emphasizing the necessity for
naval disarmament on the high seas.
Count Czernin said:
Il purposely say the high seas. for
do not extend the idea to narrow seas.
and freely admit that for sea communi-
cations special rules and regulations must
obtain. With these factors made clear
every ground for territorial guarantees
disappears. This is the basic idea OF the
beautiful and sublime note which the Pope
addressed to the whole world. If this
basis is accepted by our enemies we can
renounce the enlargement of the Austro
Hungarian monarchy, always provided
that the enemy completely evacuates our
territory"

Czernin. we must have the positive GER
tatnty that our present opponents have re-
linQuished the idea of economic war.
These, gentlemen, are the basic principles
of the new world order as they present
themselves to my mind. and they are all
founded on all-round disarmament.
Even Germany, In her answer to the

our present opponents also have made
these principles, at least in part, their

Question OF Indemnities.
THE question of inden1nities which the
entente are always advancing. assumes
remarkable completion when one con-
s!ders the devastation their armies have
wrought In Galicta. Bukowina, the Tyrol
the lsonzo. east Prussia. in Turkish ter
ritories and the German colonies. Does
the entente intend to compensate us for
all this. or Is it so completely. mistaken
in its Judgment of our psychology that it
hopes for a one-side indemnification?
This war will not be decided with
high-fiown phrases. First. we heard that
Germany was to be annihilated and Aus
tria- Hungary dismembered Then the
tone became more reasonable. 1t was to
be sufficient to reform our internal condi-
tons. Our enemies appear now to be in
the third phase. They demand neither
life nor our right to decide our destinies
as a. state: but they demand more or
less large frontier rectifications.

Not Moribund State.

Especially has the idea crumbled
which held that Austria Hungary was
a morfbund state. 1t was the dogma
Of impending dissolution of the mo-
archy which made our position in Eu-
rope difficult. BY proving ourselves i:
this war thoroughly sound. and at least
equal to the others. we destroyed the
hopes that we could be overthrown by
force Of arms.
Now that this proof has been given,
we are in a position simultaneously
with our allies to lay aside arms and
regulate future conflicts by arbitration.
This new competition, which has
forced its way into the world war. af-
fords us the opportunity not only of ac-
cepting the idea of disarmament an
arbitration. but also of working with
cur whole energy toward its realizat tion
Europe after the war must be placed
on a basis of right offering a guarantee
Of permanence-f This basis must offer
security against any future war of re-
Tenge. We must bequeath to our chill
drens children as a legacy that they
will be spared such terrible war as
this, and that is only possible through
disarmament and arbitration
1T is superfiuous to say that dis
armament must never be directed
against any particular state or group
of powers, and that it must comprise
land, sea and the air in the same de-
gree"
