GOETHALs DECLARES MILLION
 MEN FOR FRANCE NECESSARY
By Associated Press.

6y ASSociatod PreSS.
 WASHINGTON, July 25.--In an in terview today Major General Win. Goethals declared that the sending of at least million men to France at once is the first essential to a proper prosecution of the war aims of the United States.
 Goethals asserted that an army of a half million men would have but little effect in bringing the war to an early decision. Only by throwing a million or more men on the Ger mans could the government hope to achieve quick results, the general declared, and as one of the principal aims of the United States is to bring the war to a close as soon as pos sible, at least one million men should be placed in the field so that the weight of the United States would be felt in overwhelming force from the moment of American entry on the fighting lines.

WASHI SGTON, July 2i-What is generally accepted as an impend- ing shakeup in the shipping board developed ,oday with the resignation of Capt. John E. White from the board.
 White has been strong partisan of Chairman Denman in the contro- versy between Denman and General Goethals over the question of wooden or steel ship construction, which re- gently received wide publicity owing to the strong inclination of Denman to air his views in the newspapers.
 The resignation of White is looked upon as forshadowing further action to clear up the contest between Goe@ thals and Denman over the ship building program. The resignation of White was promptly accepted by President Wilson. who is known to be much opposed to the saction of Denman in charging that Goethals was working in the interest of the steel t"ust in advocating steel ship

 The retreat is especially influenced by the German field guns, which are following the enemy as they fall back to the border. A few shots from the artillery causes the Russians to break into a full rout whenever the shells fall in close proximity to the fleeing columns.

 PARIS. July 25.-Reports reaching the war office during the past few months indicate that whenever the German army is driven from any point on the western front by the French forces the German take re- venge for thelr discontinue by she'll ing the city of Rheims. ..
 The war office says that each tirne the Germans have been compelled to relenquish ground at any point along the French lines, the German gun ners have poured a hail of shells mot the town within a day or two afte' the adverse engagement.
 As the German artillery attacks ar, absolutely valueless in military sense, il is believed that the oft repeat nd shellings to which the town has been subjected are simply a method of taking revenge for their lack of suc- cess in stemmng the French ad- vanceS.
 The repeated artillery attacks have reduced the once beautiful city to condition bordering on complete de, struction and the population has dwindled to less than five thousand people The ante bellum population numbered nearly two hundred thou- sand.
