 President Wilson's letter to General Goethals is similar to that addressed to Chairman Denman It follows In part:

This is, as you say, case where the ser vice of the public is the only thing to be considered. Personal feelings and personal preferences must be resolute ly set aside, and we must do the thing that is most serviceable. It Is with that thought in mind that I feel con- strained to say that I think that you have interpreted your duty rightly"
