GOETHALS REMOVES TWO SUBORD|NATES
 WHO CR|T|C|SEH HIM
Tcepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June S-Charges by F. A. EustiS, assistant general manager of the governments Emergency Fleet Corporation, and F. Huntington Clark, his assistant, that Major General George Goethals is deliberately block ing the wooden ship building program resulted in the dismissal of both as volunteer employees of the corporation today.
 General Goethals, general manager of the corporation, in a memorandum to Chairman Denman of the shipping board, announced that he was dis charging the engineers who conceived the wooden ship building plan because their usefulness was at an end.
 MT. Clark went out of government service today. but the status of Mr. Eustis, who in addition to his connec- tion with the fleet corporation. is a special agent of the shipping board, is in doubt.
 Some members of the board are strongly in favor of building all the wooden ships the country can pro- duce and they are loath, it is said, to force the resignation of MT. Eustis for championing the cause of wooden con- struction.
 Mir. Eustis was employed by the board as special agent when the fleet corporation was formed with General Goethals at it's head. He was assigned as the generals aide.
 General Goethals declined to makI any statement today concerning the controversy. Mr. Eustis and Mir. Clark found copies of his memorandum to MT. Denman on their desks when they arrived at the offices of the fleet cor poration this morning. The memoran- dunn branded as false statements by tEe two engineers regarding General Goethals' attitude toward wooden ship building and called attention to MT. Denman's support ot -ump sum con- tracts prescribed by the general. The engineers declare ship builders will not construct vessels under this form of contract and that General Goethals has turned down contracts calling for a cost plus ten per cent profit basis after he once had approved that plan.
 Both Eustis and Clark issued state ments during the day denying the gen erals assertion as to misstatements and replying to his charges of disloy- alty by saying they felt it was their duty to inform the country that ships can be built if the government wants them.
 1 The fleet corporation, it became l-rown today, has just arranged for lumber on the Pacific coast for builc ing sixty wooden ships. This, with , contracts let with the Southern Pine associations, makes a total of about 200 wooden ships contracted for.

MOLOKANS AGREE
 ON CONFERENCE

Solemnly promising that they would see that all of their scattered young men of military age come to the court house in Phoenix at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, the Mo lokan leaders of Glendale met local federal officials and Sheriff Milky last evening. Upon this promise, which by means is a promise that the young men will register when they report this evening in Phoenix, matters were allowed to rest as they were for another day.
 The entire affair is now in the hands of Assistant United States District Attorney Lansston, who yesterday treated with tine Molokan leaders as did United States Mar shaI Dillon. Of course, if the young members of the antiwar sect per sist in refusing to comply with the registration law, they will have to suffer the penalty, but it is hoped that this evening they will see the light of reason and enroll their names as the law requires.

NEW ORLEANS, June S.-Secre- tary McAdoo's statement follows:
 '"rhe total amount of subscriptions to the Liberty Loan reported up to date to the treasury department aggregates $500, 900, ,0O0 which IS less Dy s.0U,JUu,- 900 than the total amount desired. There are seven days within which to raise the $700,000.000 and to over subscribe the loan. Efforts should be redoubled all along the line to secure subscrip- tions. The enthusiastic work now un- der way, if continued with out abate- ment until the 18th of June, will pro- duce the desired results and the loan will be a great success. But there must not be any cessation in the work and it must not be assumed that the loan is already accomplished
 q regret to find that there is an impression in some parts of the coun- try that the Liberty Loan has already been over subscribed Let this be dis sipated immediately and let every lover of liberty in America resolve to apply himself with new zeal to the work in hand"
