Two Engineers Accuse Gen

WASHINGTON. June S.--An open
revolt against the shipbuild.ng

out Yesterday within the Emergency
Fleet Corporation Of which Goethals
ls the general manager. and reopened
he whole bitter controversy over the
wooden ship program, which has been
threatening the success Of the ship
ping legislation and the entire pro-
gram itself for weeks
+. A. Eustis assistant general man
aeer under Goethals, and Huntington
Clark. a consulting engineer Of the
corporation. issued formal statements
attacking their chief and charg ng
that the General deliberately was dis
rarding from 100000 to 5000 600
tons Of wooden shipping of which the
country is in imperative need at this
crisis in its history They resubmitted
20 the General offers TO build 7S6
wooden ships within eighteen months
from ten firms which previously had
been discouraged by the General or
who had been definitely turned down
by him They asked General Goetnals
the reason he did not accept these
offers. which we're said 10 be made on
a fair and reasonable basis.
General Goethals sent out word
from his Office that he would have
nothing 10 say on the subject at this
time but that II he found anything TO
answer later he would take Oppor-
lunitv TO reply.
Although the General refused any
explanation. it Is understood the
reason gwen the shipbuildors and
prospective builders previously was
that they must accept the contracts
IN the lump sum basis or not at all,
snd tho builders wished TO protect
themselves by taking the contracts on
ne basis Of the cost plus 10 per cent,
,r the cost plus a fiat fee.
The present quarrel undoubtedly
means the resignation OF Clark and

New Albany, Ind, March 24.--The
number Of those known to have lost
their lives in the storm which late
yesterday swept over New Albany,
wrecking scores of residences and
other buildings, has reached 43, ac-
cording to unofficial records, and this
number was expected to be increased
by further search of the debris of the
ruined structures. Approximately
200 persons are known to have been
injured. Darkness hampcred the
search during the night, all the cleo
trio wires in the dvastated section of
the city being down, and the work of
rescue proceeded slowly.
School Children Killed.
Several children in wrecked ne
gro school are thought to have been
saved the bodies Of others have been
recovered, and possibly as many as
20 others are thought to be still
buried under the ruins. ".r
Every precaution was taken by the
city authorities to prevent looting,
and Mayor Robert w. Morris, ordered
that vandals be shot on sight. State
troops from indianapolis and police
men and firemen from Louisville, as
sisted in maintaining order.
Extends Miles.
Damage done by the wind extended
several miles into the country. An
unidentified young man and woman
driving toward New Albany were
hurled over fence into nearby field
and killed.
No accurate estimate Of the prop

Petrograd, March 24.---New Russia
is likely to bear the name of United
States of Russia" if the temper of the
people of Petrograd is an index. At
least, the form of government will
be republican. The Russian peasant
mind is practically fixed on the land
question, breaking up estates and d.
viding them equal to all. Duma dele
gates today are scattering to all quar-
ters of the empire for the purpose OF
explaining to the people in distant
parts what has actually happened.
They are expected to bring back an
accurate review of sentiment.

pressing qualification at the recogni-
ton accorded the new government.
"The Allies" he declared, "came in
touch with the new regime without
delay, realizing the old regime con-
stituted a serious menace. Reorgani-
cation was necessary for final tri-
umph. Today Russia is no longer a
dead weight in the coalition Of the
Entente allies. She is a productive
force. Henceforth all rumors of a
separate peace with Russia vanish

Increased peril to the so-called Hin.
denberg line of the Germans in north
ern France, running through Cambria
St. Quentin, La Fere, and Laon is in
licated by today's Paris official state
ment
The French are continuing their
strong pressure from St. Quentin to
the Aisne and have driven through to
the Disc river, directly north of lie
Fere, at some points. Apparently they
have gained control of the high ground
in this region, and are able to com
mand the city with their guns.
Germans Despair.
That the Germans were despairing
of holding La Fere, T-point in the
new line. was indicated by last night S
announcement that they had opened
the sluice gates and flooded the city.
The new French advance to the Disc
can hardly fail to make the. place still
more difficult to hold.
Further progress also has been
made by the French to the southeast
on the east bank of the Ailette river,
west of Laon, where the Germans,
while still falling back toward their
new line, are apparently offering a
stiff resistance Paris military critics
also point to German peril here,
where the left end of the German
line at St. Gobain is threatened with
Outflanking. '-f.
General Haig Advances. ..s
Last reports from the British end
of the line also indicated strong Ger
man resistance, but recorded also fur.
ther advances for General Haig's S
forces, notably in the region south
east of Arras.
In part, at least, the German re.
tirement from France may be explain.
ed by an official statement of the new
Russian war ministry, in which it is
announced that the Germans are con-
centrating great quantities of munl-
tions and supplies and men on the
northern end of the Russian front.
ture in this important, but long neg
lected war area, is thus indicated.
Fear Russia.
Field Marshal Won Hindenberg, who
is credited with establishing the new
line in the west, is classed as a beGev.
er in the theory that decision in the
war can best be gained by a campaign
on the eastern front against Russia.
Meanwhile the Russian provisional
government continues its efforts to
strengthen the defensive measures of
the nation
One of the most important of the
constituent parties of the new gov
eminent, that of the constitutional
democrat. led by Foreign Minister
Milulsoff, has just voted through its
committee and its parliamentary rep
resentatives for a republican form Of
