GENERAL GOETHALS BUSINESSES TWO MEN WHO CRITICIZED HIM Engineers Giving Their Services Free Said to Be
 No Longer Useful REINSTATEMENT OF
 FACTS IS CHARGED Clark Issues Denial That Any Other Motive Save Desire to Serve
 Country Was Back of
 Declaration

Washington June Exchanges by F. A. Eustis, assistant general manager of the governments emergency fleet corporation, and F Huntington Clark his assistant, that Major General Goe- thals is deliberately blocking the wooden shipbui1ding programme, re- suited tolay in the dismissal of both as volunteer employees of the corpor- ation.
 General Goethals, general manager of the corporation, in memorandum to Chairman Denman of the shipping board announced that ne was discharg- ing the engineers who conceived the wooden shipbuilding plan because their usefulness was at an end.
 Mir Clark went out of gover nmept service today, but the status of MT Eustis. who In addition to his con- nection with the fleet corporation Is a special agent of the shipping board, is in doubt Members of the board said he had not been asked to leave the boards employ and indicated that no announcement would be made on the subject for the present
 EUSTIS' STATUS UNDECIDED
 Some members of the board are strongly in favor of building all the wooden ships the country can produce and they are loath, it Is said, to force the resignation of MT. Eustis for cham pioning the cause of wooden construc- ton. Chairman Denman said the board had not decided its attitude concern ing retaining MT. Eustis as an em- ploye.
 MT. Eustis was employed by the board at a salary of $1 a year as special agent and when the fleet cor poration was formed with Gener al Goethals at it's head he was the gen. erals aide.
 General Goethals declined today to make any statement concerning the controversy MT. Eustis and Mir Clark found copies of his memorandum to MT. Denman on their desks when they arrived at the offices of the fleet cor poration this morning. The memoran- dunn branded as false statements by the two engineers regarding General Goethalss attitude toward wooden shipbuilding and called attention to MT Denman's support of lump sum contracts prescribed by the general The engineers declare shipbuilders will not construct vessels under this form of contract and that General Goe- thals has turned down contracts cali ing for cost plus 10 per cent profit basis after he once had approved that plan.
 DENY DISLOYALTY
 Both Eustis and Clark issued state ments during the day denying the gen erals assertion as to misstatements and replying to his charges of sisloyalty by saying they felt it was their duty to inform the country that ships can be built if the government wants them.
 The engineers added to their state ments of last night by criticizing Gen. eral Goethals for declining to let con- tracts for the Hough model of wooden ship. They produced letters from de-

 Goods on Approval"

Washington, June S.-The practice Of purchasing dry goods on approval and later returning 1t to stores. constitutes an enormous unnecessary cost and may be abolished as war economy meas ure, the commercial economy board of the council of national defense reported to- day.

STACKER EVADES
 BESSEMER OFFICERS
Judge E. H. Gary and Party to Inspect Plants of
 BeSSemer

Bessemer. June Especial )-Judge D. H. Gary, George W. Perkins, Henry c. Prick and other officials of the United States Steel corporation will visit Bessemer Saturday morning and inspect the rolling mill and other plants in this district.
 Government secret service men were in Bessemer today looking for men who failed to register Tuesday and they located one white man and two negroes, employees of corporations in Bessemer. and it is understood that the two negroes satisfied the officers that they were not "slackers," and the white man, asking to change his clothes, stepped into another room and instead of changing clothes passed out at another door and took to his heels The man Is well known by the off cers and 1t will be only a short time before he is located and taken into custody.
 A surprise was given the people of Bessemer Tuesday when nearly 4oO0 men between the ages of 21 and 31 presented themselves and were listed as available for military duty. Besse- mer registered 3S33, while Mobile reg istered 4569. Bessemer registered 1000 more than Dallas county and 1900 more than Lee county and double as many as Gadsden Since then the question, What Is Bessem CTS total popula tion 2' has been asked on the streets, as she registered one-fifth as many as Bir- mingham, when her population of 1910 was only one thirteenth that of the Magic City.

loyalty I feel that loyalty is to the country, not to any one man. The coun- try has a right to know that they can have the ships if they want them
 As to the charge of misstatement or facts, every statement l made can be verified, and I trust a full investigation can be made When the general says that I misstated the facts he is saying something that Is not true. I want the country to know that it can have the ships. and it should have them. l am afraid it will wake up too late.'
 The fleet corporation it became known today, has just arranged for lumber on the Pacific coast for building 50 wooden ships. This with contracts let with the Southern Pine association makes a total of about 200 wooden ships contracted 1or'

THE SOUTHERN RAILROADS

A feature of railroad development in the United States within the past five or six years, of which Dr. Dudley spoke with some enthusiasm, is the great inn provement in roadbed, tracks and equip ment, which has been characteristic or leading railroads of the Southern states Had it not been for those improvements the railroads could not have handled within the past 12 months the enormous traffic which has been developed in the south, or the destination of which was in the southern states. Improvements of this kind will continue, provided the railroad companies are able to secure needed funds. until at last all of the rail- roads of the south will compare favor ably in construction and equipment With the best railroads in the north. That, in fact, must be accomplished If there Is to be no impairment of the rapidly increasing industrial and agricultural ac- tivity which now characterizes the south ern states

TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS

But it is not alone the delay in furnish
 ing the railroad companies with equip- ment that is causing serious apprehension lest there be dangerous congestion of railway transportation as soon as the United States actively enters the war. pr. Dudley found in Pittsburg, for in- staice, a very great demand for cars, but there were no cars to be had. All avail able cars are already in use, and by req sor. of the fact that railroads have been unable for lack of money to buy new cars there does prevail, all over the country
 a serious shortage of cars, but perhaps nowhere more so than at Pittsburg, where the demand for them is now per haps greater than at any other of the large industrial centers.

THE STEEL RAIL DANGER

Nearly 40 years have been required to perfect manufacturing methods which will make it possible for the steel rail mills to turn out rails that are prac- ticaby unbreakable. Many of the mills are now doing this and the result. pr. Dudley says, is discovered in the heavy falling off in the number of steel rail fractures which have been reported since the new methods of manufacture have been adopted. The time is not distant when all the railroads of the United States will be equipped with steel rails made according to this formula.

fore, a year to complete this reconstruc- dve work in France.
 All the great railroad operating forces in Europe (even those of Germany until war began admit the superiority Of American railway constructive skill. After our armies get to France, it will be possible to call from the ranks hum dreds and perhaps thousands of men who are familiar with railway construction, who are expert in repairing equipment. cars and locomotives, and some of whom are capable of running engines. There fore, it is the expectation that the French railway system will within year be thoroughly perfected.
 The skill of the northern railway me chanics in railway reconstruction was, pr. Dudley remembers, demonstrated II any times during our civil war. The Confederate armies frequently tore up tracks and destroyed equipment, but this devastation was speedily repaired. Gen eral Grant once said that Confederate leaders wondered whether General Sher- man did not take portable tunnels with him so speedily were tunnels that the Confederate destroyed repaired by union soldiers who were serving in the ranks of Sherman's army
