eral George w. Goefhals, retired, the
builder Of the Panama Canal. speaking
informally last night at dinner Of the
Iron and Steel, Institute, declared that
the proposal 10 build 1000 three-thous-
and ton wooden vessels In eighteen
months Is simply hopeless. IT is nee
essary, he declared, to turn TO steel
vessels as the only possible solution Of
the transatlantic transportation prob
lem.
The proposal 20 turn out in short
time a great number Of wooden vessels
as q means of overcoming the sub
marine menaee originated with the ad-
ministration in WashingfOn, and GEN
eral Goethals was designated az the
man who should have charge Of the
work. General Goethals, however, has
consistently opposed the proposition as
impractieable Of being carried out. He
has made the statement several times
that the builders Of wooden ships have
for the most part gonn ont Of business
In this country and there are not ship
yards available for them.
General Goethals also declares that
II would be far easier to standardize
steel vessels, and he contends that the
only way of meeting the submarine
menace and Of keeping a steady stream
of supplies flowing across the Atlantic
for the armies Of the European allies
Is to increase as fast AZ possible the
number of steel frei9hters.

German Admiralty Knew When

|SIMs WARNS NATION
TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS


|XXTAsHINGToN, May 26 ~
~ That the United States is
still filed with German spies and
that they are constantly in touch
with Berlin, able to secure and
transmit information Of vital con-
Germ TO the United States. is the
warning sent to the people Of
America by Rear Admiral Sims,
lin command Of the American de-
stroyer fotilIa now operating in
European waters.
To show the gravity Of the sit
uation and the possible menace
the presence Of these spies is to
America, the naval commander
states that before the American
icstroyers had been four days on
sheiraway to British waters the
INFORMATION Of their sailing had
been conreycd 10 Abe German adj
|miraIty, together with informa>
ton as to nnmber Of ships in the
squadron, its armament and its
personnel.
ATTEMPTED AN AMBUSH
A day before the dcstroyers
reached port. the German naval
authorities had learned the desti-
nation Of the American ships and
we're able TO lay plans to ambush
The destroyers at the entrance to
Queenstown harbor, a plan which
larrowly missed being carried
out.
The naval department has giv-
IN out this information in order
that the public may know that
German spies exist and have
means Of swift, sure communica-
lion with Berlin. That the public
should know the danger and as
sist in guarding against it IS the
desire of Secretary Daniels. This
knowledge, he believes, will en-
phasize the necessity for absolute
secrecy in regard to all naval
operations and the movements Of
shipping in and out Of American
ports.
Secretary Daniels last night, as
a counter to what he describes as
Ia campaign Of vicious rumors,"
ssued an official denial that any
If the naval vessels Of the United
