defeat the Ueruian submarine earn
imlgn will be put dennltely under way
Monday, when the shipping l*0?ird will
form a lirty million dollar corporaitou
to build and oiH'Mite (Im vewnob*.
The cor|M>ratlou will be organtaed
under the Ihwh of .the l)l?trict of t"V>
luiubia and its entire stock will l?c
held by the shipping board. In letrW>
la t U>n to l?> introduced III (VuiK'ixw
early in tint wu'k the board will ask
authority to Increase the stock i;i the
future if needed t<> us inueh jierlut|?s

$o<>,0(R>,<kh> will sulliee.
I'll vale whip yardn will *?*??<
the ships on a standardized plan adopt
?mI by the shopping board on a basis in
most Ins tan cvs of 10 |?epr eent pnvtit.
Some eon tracts will be let for speci
lied sums. The board probably *Ul
finance some yards, although ltrivate
capital already is offering millions flor
construction of the vessels.
.Major Gen. Goethals, who at the oi
reel ion of President Wilson luis ugrcixl
to supervise building of the ships, will
et.nie to Washington fo take charge
of i ln? work as soon as he can ai*
range to leave his task of building
New Jersey highways. F. A. Bustiwv,
a Hostitn mining engineer, who wlthj
F. Huntington Clark, a New York en
gineer, conceived the idea of a wvu??J ,
en ship licet, probably will ho ass** t
cialed with him.
'I'he lew clilting the shipping bouul i
provides for a cor|x>rat Ion, the uiajoi J
lty of whose stock must he held by
the hoard. Its directors will bo em
ployes of the board, who will elivt
their own officers. (Jen. Goethals prob
ably will Ik* elected general manager (
of the corporation and Mr. ICuKlace.
who is an employe of the hoard, will
receive a salary of one dollar a year,
and Sir. Clark, directors.
The TOO.UOOtoIis of German shipping
taken over l>y the government* with the
deelaration of war undoubtedly will be
put under the cor|>oratiou. as will the
Austrian ships now in custody of the
Fluted States. The general opinion is
that the Herman and Austrian owners
will be paid for their use during Hie
war and for the skips themselves if
they are lost or are retained.
The story of how the wooden ship
building plan grew from an Idea eou
celved simultaneously by two mining
engineers until it has take!! a place
in the forecast of America's war pol
icy. reveals that Yankee inventlvcT gon
itis and ingenuity were as ready to
meet the present emergency as at any
time of national stress in the pa*t.
After Mr. Kusta<v and Mr. (Jlarke
had been called to Washington by
Chairman Denuian, of (the Shipping
Hoard, and the board divided to take
up the plan, Mr. Eustace decided to
interest .Mr. Goethals and went tn
plaee the situation before him. The
canal builder immediately seized'- on
the plan as the one way by which
the Fnited States could do most to 21 id
t'tye Allies in defeating Germany. Then
Gen. Ooethals was told the board wisli
e<l him to take charge of the work. Re
luctant at tirst to leave his post in New
Jersey, the General finally was convinc
ed the nation needed him.
(Jen. Ooethals was chosen to head
the work, It was explained tonight, for
three reasons?his capacity, his Ger
man descent and as a testimonial to
the loyalty of American citizens of
Teutonic extraction and l>eeauso be is
considered the one man in the United
Stat??s most offensive to Germany. Ger
many it has been said, has never for
given the man who constructed the
(jftnal when German exjierts said It
could not he accomplished.
In their efforts to jjersuade Gen.
Goethals to take charge of building
the ships. It was pointed out that he
probably would spend before the war
was over more than was expended In ^
building the canal.

Cl\ilizatlon or Prussianism.
(New York St#il
Why. asks the crave!!, should we
n<>t submit to the aggression of Ger
many. ami in the name of a higher
virtue conserve our treasure ami save
o\ir hide?
The answer is plain and couviuciin.'
fop all who are not trembling with
cowardice or ilniuoshed in the net of
German intrigue. We shoud m>t sub
mit to (iiMiiuin aggression because un
der cover of the horior we should and
do hold dear the very existence of our
institutions is attacked, by the Ger
man arms.
Continually we are reminded ?d" the
Germany of the poets, the Germany of
music and song. Jtut this is not the
Germany that to-day reaches cut oil
every side to conquer the world. That
Germany has passed away, never to)
return. Its genius has lieon suppress
ed by the Prussianlzod empire whose
agents preaching with sword and can
non. with guile and cunning, the gos
jk'I of etllclency. the doctrine that
might is right, have invaded every
land and labored diligently to Mihvert
every people to Its purposes.
Kvery tenet of civilization, every
hard won liberty of mankind, every
privilege that reason ami conscience,
strength and persistence have gained
from Irresponsible power, feels the
menace of Prussianisni. From the
lirst cynical Invasion of a country
Germany had given her word of honor
had pledged her national faith to re
sjx'ct, to the last barbaric retreat on {
the soil of France, the Prussianized
empire, casting legality and morality
to the winds, has proclaimed brazenly
her repudiatiou of the obligations of
decency and the restraints of reason,
in the prosecution of her camjaiigns
on sea and land she has violated those
practices that other nations have ac
cepted as fundamental necessities of
continued progress.
Germany has murdered men. wom
en and children. Ily her manners, tJie
combataut and non-combatant. the
aged, the infirm, the weak, Ihe lielj>
less, luive been selected as targets
with the same enthusiasm with which
strongholds ami armed men have been
assailed. She has sought no Justiti
catlon save the proclamation "it is
my need." She has spared neither
beauty nor the sacred places of men's
worship; she has consumed the mon
uments of the past and devastated
the fields of the i>oor. Neither the
works of man nor the ordinances of
God have stayed her It and or sufficed
to turn her sword from Its path. She
has slain wantonly for the mere sake
of slaying; she lias destroyed useless
ly for the sole purpose of destroying.
Behind her acts, behind these mani
