Face tojFace With General George Washington Goethals — ■■ —— The Engineer Who Built the Panama Canal (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) "The world needs u bugle call to get up hi the morning and get to work." tersely commented Gen. George W. Goethals. the man who built the Panama Canal by keeping things moving. "It is as important to know how to use leisure hours as it is to work.] We struggle and sacrifice for vacations and wear out again enjoying ourselves." Prematurely gray and bronzed by the outdoor life of a soldier. General Goethals. then a Colonel, took command at the Panama Canal when it required action and results to suit the Roosevcltian order of the day At Gatun. we saw a crane lazily swinging overhead and he commented: "There ft is-balancing in the air like a damn balloon, when it should move on!" It was speeding like an aeroplane soon after. One locomotive engineer complained to him that he was hauling twen-ty-eight cars, while others were only hauling twenty-one. Colonel Goethals replied: “All right, we will make them all haul twenty-eight! Jack, you are a pace-maker. Go to it t" It was a time of “getting up in the morning." fxing. lingering twilights or rosy dawns are not known in the tropica. Tho sun is either up or down, and the Colon"! believed that tlie son of man should keep the pace in building the canal. General Goethals tells the story on himself of how he learned his lesson. The Chief of Staff called him on the phone one morning at eleven o'clock and he was not in. He received the message in the afternoon and report<"d to the Chief at four o'clock. "Where were you at eleven this morning when I called ?'* In true military fashion, he made «n accurate report. “I was out play-! ling golf ' "Is that an? Well, we'll that. yon have some real work to do from 11 a. m. on hereafter." The Incident opened a "busy season" in Colonel Goethals' office. Born in Brooklyn. New York, in IRSS. he early had an ambition Jo be a real soldier as well as "play soldier." When hr heard that candidates! for entrant’- to West Point had tall-i »d. young George Goethals went tot Hon "!*uns‘d" Cot, the Congressman,| <nd declared: "I can do ft.”

These are real proposition* and hare as an object the hard surfac ing of main roads. That's what Is wanted and what will really count. It wilt be time enough to name them after we get them and we rather like the idea of the state highway commission to number them rather Ilian name them.

I" x i i \ WM /WWr \ Z ) GEN. GEORGE W GOETHALS says: "The world needs a bugle call to get up in the morning and keep moving.” That was the spirit which carried him through his army career. Long service in the engineers corps, und instructing in civil and military engineering at the United States Military Academy, gave him the experience which fitted him for digging the canal and conquering Culebra Cut. Originally in charge of Muscle Shoals Canal construction on the Tennessee River, about which clusters so lunch comment these days, he had much to do with the development of inland waterways. His experience in this work caused President Roosevelt to send for him after the decision was made to put the Panama Canal work in charge of an army offiicr. I was waiting outside the executive office with some newspaper men when I saw him enter the President's room. One question and one ntiswer and ft was all over. "Colonel, what about completing he Pannma Canal?” “I can do it." replied the Colonel, with a snap of his Jawi. Ho did it and received the thanks of Congress in 1315 for distinguished service "In constructing tho Panama Canal." Awarded the Distinguished Service Medal in 1513 for especially meritorious and conspicuous aervfce in reorganizing the Quartermastera i ttepar.ment—his career covers years of constructive work for his country. Although a Commander of the Legion of Honor of France and with medals from the National Geographic Society and from many other famous o-ganixations. General Gqethafs' army record as a builder Is a basis for enduring fame. His hair and mustache are a little ' whiter than In thos< stormy days at • I Timms. hut he has the same decisive ; way of talking and when his Jaw Is 1 I set. yon know that something or j Nbmeehe is going to "gel np in the • morning."
