WILL FOII GREAT
SHIP CORPORATION
Goethals to Begin Building Anti-Sub
marine Fleet as Soon as Possible.
Will Standardize Boats.
'Washington, April 14.-The admin
istration's program for building a
vast fleet of wooden cargo ships to
transport supplies to the Allies and
thus defeat the GJernian submarine
camlaign will be put definitely under
way Monday, When the shipping board
will form a fifty million dollar cor
porationi to build and olerate the Yes
Tihe corporation will be organized
under the laws of the Ditsrict of Co
lumbia and its entire stock will be
held by tihe shipping board. In legis
lation to be introduced In Congress
early in the week the board will ask
authority to increase the stock in the
future if needed to as much perhaps
as $225,000,000. For the present the
$50,000,000 will suffice.
Private ship yards will construct
the ships on a standardized plan
adopted by the shipping board on a
basis in most instances of 10 per cent
profit. Some contracts wll -be let for
specifled suis. The board probably
will linance some yards, although pri
vate capital already is offering nili
lions for construction of- the vessels.
Major Gen. Goethals, who at the di
reetion of President Wilson has agreed
to supervise building of tle ships, will
come to Washington to take charge
of the work as soon as he can ar
range to leave hIs lask of building
New .ersey higliways. F. A. Eiustace,
a loston iniing engineer, who with
F. Huntington Clark, a New York oi
gilneer, conceived the idea of a wood

The Iaw creatinog the shipping board,
provides for a corporatloion, the major
ity of whose Stock 111st 1w held by
the b 'ard. its (111cectol's will be emt
ployes o1 the .board, wvIo will elect
teir own oflicers. (enl. Goethals prob
ably will be elected genleral 11eanagwer
of the corporation and 111 r. EIustave,
wIlo is an (mp1 loye of tile board, will
receive a salary of one dollar a year,
and Mir. Clark,. dirvectors.
he 700,000 tois of (Germllan shipping
takil over by the gove'rnn111t11 wit h tihe
declarallon o", war undoubtedly will be
puit underol thle corporation, as wvill thle
Auistrian Ships Iow in eistotdy of the
United States. The genieral opin)ion) is
that the German1 and Alistrian owners
will be paid for theIr use during the
war and for the ships tleselves if
they.are lost or are retained.
The story of how the wooden sil1
'Iillding plan grew from an idea col
.elved simultaneously by two mining
engineers unt'l -it has taken a place
in the forefront of America's war Pol
icy, reveals that Yankee inventive genl
ius and ingenuity were as ready tc
Iliect the present emergency as at any
tlime of national stress in the past.
After M\r. 'Eustace and 'Mr. Clarke
had been called to 'Washington by
Chairman Denman, of the shipping
board, and tile boar(d decided to take
iul) the plan, air. IEustace decided tc
interest Gen. Goethals and went c
place thle situation before him. The
canal builder immediately seized on1
the plan as the oneC way by whichi
the United States could do most to aid
tile allies in dlefeatinig Germany. Theni
(Gen. Goethals was told the board wish
ed him11 to take charge of the work. Re
luctant at first to leave his post 111
New Jersey, the General finally was
convincedl thle -natin needed him.
Glen. (Goethals was chosen to head
the work, It was explainedl tonight, foi

io Janeiro, April 12.-It Is believ
ed here that the government will con
fine itself for the present to the sev
eran0ce of dipilo.ulatic relations with
e"inany and that a declamation of
war wiI not he issued, at least in the
inunediate future. \ decision as to
sCiini1g the Ge' rmnan shills in Irazilian
11arbors has been postponed. The Ger
ian minister was giveni his iassiorts
at Petropolie last i)lght.
Dr. Lauro Muller, Brazilian for
ign ii) inister, has issued a deniail
of tihe report that lie advocated de
mandhig compensation from Germany
for the loss of the Parana and the
punishment of the submarine com
mander, rather than a breach of rela
tions. Dr. Muller says that imic
6 ately after the Parana was torpedoed
lie re( ognized that it was not a ques
tion for indemnity but for action.
