He insisted that the dismissed en-
ployes Of the Emergency Fleet Corpor-
alton were right, and declared it was
entirely possible for General Goethals
to build a large feet Of wooden ships.
In discharging Eustis and Clark
General Cocktails had alleged they
were guilty Of disappearing the
wooden ship situation. According to
Mr.. Eustis, when asked definitely TO
state the character Of this misrepre-
sentation, General Goethals had
charged that, contrary to the statement
they had issued, it was absolutely i'm
possible to secure engines for the
wooden ship feet.
Taking issue with General Cocktails,
Mr.. Sprague to-day stated that 1t was
entirely possible to secure an adequate
supply of engines 10 drive 1000
wooden ships, and without the slightest
interference with other essential en-
CINE manufacture. Moreover, he stated
he would be willing to take the con-
tract himself for their production and
delivery.
General Goethals to-day announced
the appointment of Admiral Ii. II.

eral manager Of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, and Samuel /. Fuller as
assistant TO the general manager, to MI
tho places Of Eustis and Clark.

General Goethals said:
Mr.. Fuller Is volunteering his ser
vices. He has had extensive experience
in the investigation of projects and IN
financing. l am going TO utilize him IN
looking into the financial standing of
people who want TO undertake the con-
struction of ships, both steel and wood.
He viii also be used in appralslng

Receive Protest from So
cialists Against Extreme
Annexation Views
Ask Nearly All Europe
Picture Pan-Germania with
Great Bag Of Gold if
Victorious

Copenhagen, June An energetic
complaint is addressed by the Socialist
newspaper "Vorwaerts." Of Berlin. TO
General Won Ludendorf. Lieutenant
General Won Stein. the Prussian War
Minister, and others in high official
places who are facilitating the circula-
ton among the troops in hospitals, in
hospitals. in schools and elsewhere Of a
pam German brochure, entitled Ger
many's position Under oGod and Bad
Peace"
The brochure, which belongs among
the most extreme outbursts of the an
nexationist literary fancies. is directed
particularly against peace along the
lines suggested by Philip Scheide-
mann and other Socialists Il contains
pictures of Germany bowed down under
weight Of debt in consequence OF a
peace without indemnity, and striding
forward with a bag of gold IN the event
of a pan-German peace.
Among the most striking features of
the brochure are maps showing Ger
many covering or dominating three
quarters of Europe. The articles rise
10 the heights of suggesting the in
corporation of France as "A federal state
in Germany or alternately the anneXa-
tion of corridor connecting Germany
with the Mediterranean.
Other features in the programme are
the expulsion of Great Britain from
the Mediterranean, the entry of the
Scandinavian countries into German
customs union, extension OF the Ger
man sphere Of influence in Persia and
Afghanistan. hosting the German flag
over the Azores, Case Verde and other
islands and the reduction of Poland,
Courland. the Baltic provinces, Finland
and the bulk of European Russia to the
status of protectorates or annexed ter
ritories of Germany.
The "Vorwaerts' procured publish
er's circular disclosing that German
Great Headquarters and the War Min
istry purchased a large number of
these brochures, and that General Won
LudendoriF and General Won Stein dis
tributed $1,000 free copies among the
troops. The newspaper protests against
such use of public money.
The brochure is directed almost as
much against Chancellor Won Beth
manu- ollweg as against the Socialists
The Munich Socialist organ also pro-
tests against discrimination by the
military authorities. who further propa-
ganda of pan-German anneXationists
and hinder opposing propaganda for
peace based on understanding and COM
promise.
