ping Control Committee to be organ
lied. Toward the end of the war the
shipping situation was again getting
very bad. on account of the increased
size of the army and its requirements.
IN response to questions from Repre-
sentative Rcavis, General Goethals
charact teri2ed the $15,000,00O quarter
masters depot at Port Newark n. j.
as a "coiossal blunder.' for which the
Council Of National Defence through
its committee on storage, was responsi-
Bile. lie said that it had been de
cded upon despite the opposition Of
General Sharpe, who was Quarter
master General az the time. On ac-
count OF its inaccossiblity the depot
had scarcely been used at all as an
ocean terminal, for which it was in
tended, but as a general storehouse.
Questioned about the methods of the
Eisemann committee and other COM
mittces Of the Council of National De
fence in practically making buyers and
sellers on government account idcn-
teal, General Goethals said:
II used business men as advisers,
but was opposed 20 letting them buy
for themselves. | retained no man in
tho service who was interested IN any
thing that he was buying. | had no
place for Mr.. Eisenmann in my organ
laation, because his methods had been
criticised and it WAS my purpose to
use other methods, He did good job.
It was policy and not personal CON
aiderations that caused me to dispense
with his services"
General Goethals found the per
sonnel of the QuartormGster' Depart
mont badly dsorgani2ed when he took
hold. He built it up largely with civ
ilans, commissioning some, "dollara-
ycarling" others ard getting authority
to pay salaries in other cases. 1t was
a business job, and so as much as
possible he put the organization on q
civilian basis "for there is something
about a uniform.' he said, that
changes mans whole character when
he puts it on"
There was no justification for cost
plus contracts at any time, according
to General Goethals, and he avoided
them while general manager of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation.
Speaking of the exercise of the COM
mandeering power, which was always
available as means OF making con-
tractors come to time" the witness
said that toward the end Of the war
he had begun to think that contracts
should be taken without profit as part
OF the proper war service of civilians.
The committee will resume its hear
ings next Monday, and the sub-com-
mittces are expected to begin their
separate hearings on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, July With all ap-
propnatlon bills passed both Houses Of
congress took a weeks recess shortly
before midnight Tonight
Before agreeing to the sundry civil
oll, however, the Senate sent il back
to conference demanding that the $780,
600 appropriation for the employment
service granted by the House be in
creased to 100000. At the same time
the House conferrces broke a deadlock
on the deficiency bill.
Shortly before midnight only presi-
dent W Nllson's signature was required
to leave the House free to tackle the
prohibition bill when Congress con
Venes again nest Tuesday.
clean saving of more than q bill
non dollars over the Democratic aD-
preparations programme was the claim
made tonight by Republican leaders
and supported by figures
Ihe army appropriation of $7G4,OOO
OO0 represents a saving OF $5O4 1922 ,269
The navy request for 1915 ,SO3621 was
reduced to $616,000,000, saving S237,-
903,62l. even after Secretary Daniels
had voluntarily cut off $l22 900, 900 by
withdrawing the thrcc-year "bluft
navy programme The 500 .173, ,7Oj
sundry civil bill was reduced to S604
96O,3o7. saving $321,213,318. The rail
road bin, asking for 81 100000, 900, was
reduced S750,0O0,000 but since the
former total was already contracted
for, the Republican saving of $l50.0O0,
600 will have to be wiped out later by
a deficiency appropriation.
The third deficiency bin, however,
was cut from $3.50, ,l37,24l to som,
S23, 100000, q saving Of $15,000,Q00. a
saving Of S2,470,Sl9 WAS also made on
the District OF Columbia bill. Only
ON the war risk and Indian appropria-
ton bills did the Republican, fail tc
register savings running into the mil
lions. The total actual savings will
be approximately $1,059, 9,37O,74S
When the House resumed business
again to-day it quickly disposed Of the
measures sent back to conference yes
terdaY for further cuts. The army
bill, returning with cuts Of 100000 ,OOl
in reappropriations and S15,0O0,O0O or
aircraft, was disposed of by the House
without obscquies. The army air ser
vice was finally allowed a lump sum OF
$25 ,000, 600 in order that with its muck
more extensive establishments it might
not seem to be treated worse than the
navy

Give a Thought to-
Central Park Vest
A 7 ONE time residents Of Central

A I ONE time residents Of Central
Park West were asking for
subway to improve the transporta-
ton facilities to the street, but now
they would be satisfied with bus
line running from Columbus Circle
to Eighty-sixth Street. The West
Side Civic League, under the dircc-
ton Of Copeland Townsend, the pres
ident, is conducting campaign
which it hopes Will lead to the estab-
lishment of this line.
sportation facilities are en-
tirely inadequate. say members of the
league, because it is a long walk to
the Broadway subway stations, be
cause there is only one car line. and
because traffic is permitted to go
only southward on Central Park
West.
When Central Park West was
two-way street automobile accidents
were frequent. 1t is planned tc make
the street open to traffic in both di-
rections again, but with safeguards
against accident. The sidewalk on
the east side of Central Park West
is unusually wide and the trolley line
runs right alongside of it. BY cut
ting off part Of the walk and moving
the tracks into the centre of the
street, Central Park West can again
be opened to traffic in both directions
with little chance for accident, ac-
cording to members OF the league.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Narrating
now, at last, he was by his own stipu-
latlon made absolute dictator of pur-
chase, traffic and storage for the Quar-
termaster Department of the army-un-
hampered by the General Staff or the
Secretary of War-Gcneral George W..
Goethals, retired, to- day told the Spe-
clal Committee on War Department Ix-
pendltures that there should have been
ministry Of munitions during the
war, and that the principle Of business
cooperation on which iile Council of
National Defence acted in the first
part OF the war was fallacious
The general was made q sort Of sup
plies autocrat when the confusion pre-
yaillng N the Quarte rmaster Generals
Department reached an intolerablo
stage. In this way, and by cooperation
with the War Industries Board, he cx-
planned the equivalent of a ministry of
munitions was finally reached. Having
UNLIMITED authority he used it to pur-
chase supplies for an army of 5000. 600
men while the General Staff was still
figuring on 100000 When the Gen
eral Staff came up to 5000 600, he
planned for 4,000000; but when the
staff jumped to 100000 it got ahead
OF him. Fortunately, he SAID the war
ended before the inevitable deficit that
would otherwise have resulted was
reached
New-York tribune., 1919-07-02
G0ethals Took Responsibility

Asked if he was criticised for order
ing supplies for an army twice as large
as the staff contemplated, General
Goethals replied:
Il had the authority and I was will
ing to take the responsi bility of gam
bling on my Judgment"
Secretary Of War Baker and the GEN
eral Staff absolutely lived up to the
undertaking to leave him alone, he
said.
General Goethals's testimony was
largely in the nature Of commentary
on the business management Of the
army, which was organized On obso-
lete lines at the beginning of the war
and so continued in some degree up
TO the signing Of the armistice because
after the new system was finally de-
cided on, in the spring of 1913. it
took q considerable period to install it.
Under the old bureau system of
procuring supplies. half dozen bu
reaus bought and shipped independ-
emily of each other, to say nothing
Of the navy, with the result that they
paid high prices, competed with each
other, blocked the railways and
jammed the ocean terminals.
Soon after he was called back to
help straighten out the mess in De
cember, 1917. General Goethals had
proposed to Edward K. Stettinius, As
sistant Secretary of War, in charge of
purchase and supplies, a complete con-
soldatlon Of army purchasing and
transportation.
Big Task for Stettinius
Mr.. Stettinius, the general explained
had come to Washington "heralded as
the man who would save the situation"
The direction of the consolidation
would have fallen to Mr.. Stottinius,
and the reason it was not then ap-
proved by the latter was that prob
ably he did rot care to assume such
tremendous possibility.
General Goethals said that he had
recommended to Secretary Baker the
as the logical way to deal with the
situation, but was informed that the
President had already decided against
that plan and that he (Bakcr) agreed
with the President.
The consolidation idea purchase,
traffic and storage combined), recon-
mended again in July, was finally
adopted in September, 1918, with Goe-
thals in supreme charge With its
adoption there was centralized control
Of purchase, procurement and railway
and marine transportation From the
factory to France there was but one
authority and one responsibility, and
General Goethals was that.
Demanded More Shipping
One Of the first things General Goe-
thals did was to demand more shipping
in January, 1918, as he had found that
there were already more men in France
than the available shipping would
supply. Mr.. Hurley promised relief in
February, but it did not come, and then
General Goethals had caused the Ship
