he will be placed in charge OF the
tremendous engineering proict con-
Noted with the occupation by Amer
lean forces OF a large part OF the
allied line on the western front, Gays
a Washington dispatch to the Kew
York Sun.
President Wilson is said to be
strongly impressed with the feeling
that a man OF GoethaI's accomplish
ments as an engineer should not be
overlooked in the face of the greas
need for engineering talent and ad-
ministrative genius In connection
with the work OF American forces
abroad
i Railroads Worn Out.
One OF the first demands made upon
this country by the allies was that we
furnish men and supplies for repair
ing and rebuilding thousands OF miles
Of railroad worn out by the tremen-
dous traffic In military supplies be-
hind the lines on the western front.
To this task must be added the COM
plete new system which the American
force will need, the construction OF
new lines OF communication as the
positions OF the armies change and
the coordination of all these lines
into one great scheme OF military rail-
ways.
For this work the United States al
ready has sent over thousands OF men.
railroad engineers, foresters, and con-
structiOn engineers. but the units so
far sent over and the work under
taken represent. It Is said, only q
small part of the contribution ex-
pected OF this country in that line.
His Ability Proved
The task involves preparation OF
lines Of communication for the big
drive In which America Is expected to
have upward of a million men.
General Goethals has proved his
ability to handle q job of this kind.
His Panama canal experience will
have application to such a task. More
over, much OF the tried and proved
personnel Of his Panama canal organi-
Iation would still be available.

The wisdom of circulating pessi-
% mistic opinion was brought into
question everywhere that the stories
were read. Off-hand, many people
here, including officials, thought
there was no harm in It. This is an
outgrowth Of a feeling that prevailed
q month or more ago that the Amer
lean people had to be aroused. But
since then they have shown a wake

proving that the American people to
not have to exhibit themselves fanat-
ically or in frenzied enthusiasm to

fused with an alleged need OF dra-
matte and spectacular patriotism.

Satisfied with Response.
The Government here seems to be
quite well satisfied with the peoples
response to its demands. The Amsri-
can people are ready to help and to
do anything that the Government
wants done. II Washington will but
point the way. There is no need for
artificial stimulants just now, and no
one in a responsible position in the
Administration Is advocating that
kind of tactics. In fact, fears were
expressed today that at the very time
the young men OF America were being
summoned TO arms. the total effect OF
unwarranted and unjustified pessim-
ism would be to discourage and to
depFess.
No one Is arguing that war Is q
frolic. but the pessimistic business
can be overdone. And the feeling Of
most of the officials with whom this
correspondent talked today was that
while the facts should be given to
the American people, no matter how
unfavorable they might be, there
was no Justification for feeding out
pessimistic opinion Unfortunately
simply because one days press dis
patches reveal some reverses.
America must expect set-backs,
but the impression OF yesterdays
outpouring was one OF sheer hope

eminent in Washington IL more de-
termined than ever before to exert

j. s. OFFICERS
ARE HOPEFUL
OVER RUSSIA,
BAKER AYERS

American army officers, returned
from France after an inspection Of
the western theater of war, did not
report that the German position was
impregnable and invincible.
They reported quite the contrary,
according to Secretary Of Commerce
Redfeld.
Conditions in Russia, too, are not
as bad as they have been pictured,
the Secretary said. Reports OF con-
ditions there and on the eastern front
were due, he said, to an insufficient
understanding of conditions in Rus
STA and OF the people.
The Secretary expressed confidence
and security as to Russia
Calls Stories Erroneous.
With respect to alarming reports of
the invincibilIty Of the Germans in the
west, the Secretary said published
statements of the report OF the Of
ncers who went over with Pershins
and returned to report TO the authori-
ties here. had been enormously drawn
and did not give a true picture Of con-
dItions.
While the Secretary would make no
statement as to the report of these Of
tcers, he made 1t apparent that they
not only did not paint a dark picture
OF conditions in France, but brought
back Information of a most cheering
nature to the military authorities.
Issues Formal Statement.
In connection with the published re-
ports, Secretary Baker issued the fol
lowing statement:
Sn one of the morning newspapers
members OF the party OF officers just
returned from France are credited
with an expression of opinion to the
effect that the German line on the
western front in Europe Is impreg-
nable.
l have succeeded in reaching all the
members OF this military mission, and
am assured that no one Of them has
expressed such an opinion either to
q newspaper man or to anybody else,
Including his own associates on the
mission. The alleged expression,
therefore, Is wholly without founda-
ton
The members of the military mis-
sion were sent abroad to study tech
meal questions. They were accorded
the fullest opportunity by both the
British and the French governments
to complete their study. and were
given opportunity to observe actual
conditions at the front
THE mission is unanimous in its
praise OF the splendid morale OF the
allied forces on the western front. and
while IT shares the general realization
OF the gravity of this war, II returned
without any pessimistIc opinion
whatever as to the final outcome"
