SHIP FIGHT
UP TO WILSON
The President Criticised for
Permitting Delay in
the Work
DESIRE THAT HE
STRAIGHTEN TANGLE
And Back One Side or the
Other - Most Prefer
Keeping Goethals

Washington, July ls.-President Will
son is being roundly criticized because of
his policy to temporize in dealing with
the controversy involving Major General
Goethals, manager OF the shipping
boards fleet corporation, and Chairman
Denman OF the shipping board. 1t is
declared that the time has come when
the president must take a positive stand
or the governments elaborate merchant
shipbuilding program will suffer. As it
Is the building and communicating of
ships is being seriously delayed WASH
ington wants to see the president stand
behind one or the other of the principals
in the controversy. The majority of
those who have expressed an opinion be-
lieve that General Goethals should be
retained and permitted to start work
without further delay, unhampered by
anyone. II was expected that General
Goethals would issue a statement to the
public yesterday morning, but his secre-
tary said yesterday noon that no state
ment would be issued until after meet
lng OF the WHiCll mas bNtH
by Chairman Denman.
Bernard N. Baker of Baltimore, for
mer member of the shipping board,
echoed the opinions of most Washing
tonians who have studied the shipping
problem when he issued statement on
Monday night declaring that Chairman
Denman should be dismissed and that
his place should be filled by some man
who will cooperate with General Goe-
thals. Mr. Bakers statement was much |
discussed yesterday Those who entered |
into the discussion were agreed that lit |
tie progress would be made in building |
ships until one or the other of the men |
was removed
President Wilson's reason for temper
izing cannot be understood by those who
realize that one of our greatest problems
is to get tonnage. Ships are needed as
never before to transport soldiers and
supplies to France, to rehabilitate rail-
roads in France and Russia, to supply
Italy with coal and iron and to send
great quantities of food to England.
While Chairman Denman has been plac
ing stumbling blocks in front of General
Goethals and while President Wilson has
been temporizing, German submarines
have been sinking merchant shipping,
possibly at the rate of nearly a million
tons a month. Now comes the demand
for positive action by President Wilson,
with which is coupled the assertion that
If the president does not take definite
stand without further delay this country
and our allies abroad will suffer most
severely.

SCATTERED BY sEARcHLIGHT.
Greek Royalists Were Busily Denounc
ing the Allies.

| Volo, Greece, July ls.--A searchlight
of British cruiser recently disrupted
street meeting of the supporters OF
King Constantine who were loudly de-
claiming protests against the rule of the
entente allies.
Down with the dogs of allies,
shouted one royalist adherent. Curse
venizeIos", Long live King Constan-
tine, were among the cries of the speak
ers.
The meeting had reached the zenith
of enthusiasm when suddenly every Roy
alist started as if he had been shot.
Through the sultry blaekness of the June
night had struck a brilliant beam of
illumination. 1t came from search
light of the English ship and it had
fallen and rested full upon them. 1t
never wavered. 1t seemed to be looking
into the face of every man of them as
if to see who would speak next The
words died away on their lips. The
searchlght simply startled them into ST.
lenee. They fidgeted and whispered to
each other for a few minutes and then
slipped away into the grateful obscurity
of the surrounding darkness. After that
the searchlight was master of the situa-
ton
