of Hating Ship
Building Plans
Statement by Eustis Brings
Differences in Shipping
Board to Head.

Washington, June differences
over the government wooden ships
building program came to "A head to-
night when +. \ F.ustis. assistant gen.
eral manager Cf the emergency fleet
corporation, and his assistant, +. Hunt
ington Clark, issued a statement vir-
tually charging Major General George
W. Goethals, general manager of the
corporation. with halting building Of
the vessels by prescribing an impos-
Sible form OF contract.
The statement reveals that the fleet
corporation has just received offers
from ten firms to build 496 wooden
ships within l. months, or 7S6 within
Is months. General Goethals has turned
the proposals down because the build
erS wish to construct the ships at a
cost plus ten per cent profit basis in
stead ot contracting for Il fiat price
for the ships.
Mr.. E,,stis and Mr.. Clark are the
mining engineers who originated the
wooden building plan adopted by the
shipping board and regarded by Cen
eral Goethals as impracticable. When
the board formed the fleet corporation
and put Goethals at it's head with fun
powers to build ships, the two engi-
ncers We're assigned to the corporation
as the general aides.

program. General Goethais turned to
steel construction and limited tn.

Clark contend the corporation can
build 1000 wooden ships within that
time without interfering with steel
building.

tonight for comment on the state

War Summary

In one of the most daring moves
of the war, Sir Douglas Haig's
forces have dealt the Germans
mighty blow. In a daylight attack
the British advanced their lines,
capturing villages, the much de-
sired es-Wytschaete ridge
and 5000 prisoners. The way was
cleared for the offensive by the eX-
plosion Of 100000 pounds of high
explosives before the German
trenches.
Except for the German attack
against the French northwest of st.
Quentin, which was repulsed, quiet
prevailed on the French front.
Considerable fighting continues
between the Austrians and Italians
in the Carso region. Along the
Vipacco valley. the Italians deliv-
cred several thrusts, which were
repulsed. while near Jamiano the
Austrians have made further gains.
Great preparations are being
made in France for the arrival of
the American troops. Already an
American transport containing
food for them has arrived In Il
French port and American war
ships are anchored off the French
coast. Camps have been prepared
for all branches of the American
forces who are expected.

w. L. Lawson, General Man
ager of Company, Inspects
Plant Here.
PLEASED WITH WORK
DONE ON PROPERTY
Says Western Montana Beets
Are as Far Along as
Billings Crop.

'The factory here will undoubtedly
be finished in time for the 1917 crop.
am delighted with the progress that
has been made here"
SO said w. l.. Lawson, assistant gen.
eral manager of the Great Western
Sugar company, last night after he had
spent n day at the cOmpany's Missoula
factory and in the field. Mr.. Lawson
is directly in charge of the factories
in Montana and Wyoming.
r. A. Wilson, local manager, and
r. NJ. Barr. agriculturist, took Mr..
Lawson to the factory grounds yes
terday to inspect the progress which
has been made there by the Dyer Con-
struction company. Mr.. Lawson was
delighted, he said after he had re-
turned.
Factory Rising Rapidly.
"The speed with which the factory
Is being built is SATISFYING" he said.
Without doubt the plant will be ready
to take care of this years crop OF s,i-
gar beets. That means that the farm
ers OF western Montana may be sure
of receiving the extra war price we an
nounced some time ago, come what
may"
The party went mp the Bitter Root
valley as far as Hamilton yesterday,
too. Several beet fields were visited
and work on the dumps to be built at
valley points was watched. Mr.. Law
son was surprised by the condition of
the beet farms.
1.-The beets here are as far advanced
as in eastern Montana, in the territory
which serves the Billings factory" he
said after his trip. "rhe prospects in
the valley are good. indicating a sue
cessful season."
Beet Dumps Under Way.
The company's first Bitter Root val
ley beet dump has been nearly COM
pleted at Bing. Five others are to be
built in the valley. They will be at
Tucker 10 miles south of Hamilton:
Victor, Stevensville, Bass Spur, Carl
ton and Lolo. A big crew is working
now on the Bing dump and will start
another as soon as they have finished
their work there.
Another crew is in the Deer Lodge
valley, where dumps are to be built
at Gold creek, Garrison. Deer Lodge,
Gravel Pit and Galen. Two have been
completed in the Flint creek valley,
one of them at Hall and the other at
New Chicago. One will be built at
Frenchtown and another at Primrose.

Millions Are Ready.

The one conclusive result of the reg
istratiOn that cannot be altered Is that
millions of young Americans have put
in their names. claiming no exemption
and stating no reason for release from
war service.
In regard TO the married men, Sec
retary Baker today said in all the let
ters he has received on the subject OF
exemption, not one even suggested
that marriage should establish n class
exemption. He added that it was not
the purpose of the department to make
such a ruling. but that individual cases
would be dealt with on their merits.
Baker Well Pleased.
The secretary was enthusiastic over
the results of the registration, declar.
ing the day had been "a spectacula.
demonstration" of the solidarity of tho
American people and of their higl
patriotism. He said he had never
doubted for n moment that the re.
sponse would be what it was.
Mr.. Baker thinks it will be some
time before the regulations governinl
exemptions are issued.
The complete working out of these
regulations and the appointment of ex.
emption boards, the secretary said
will precede the issuance of regula
tions to govern the selection of mer
for examination.
Exemption boards will be localized
as much as possible to make easy fol
those selected to get to the place o.
examination without interfering an.
more than is absolutely necessary Will

NOT EQUAL ESTIMATE
Officials Believe Census Falls
Short by 100000 o. At
tanning Number.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, June 1.-Re2iStratiCr
returns came in slowly today and TO-
night. preventing a conclusive estimat,
as to the number of men actually en-
rolled. An official statement today
however, said such partial returns in.
dicated that the 10,200,O0O estimate o.
the census bureau for the number o.
men within the prescribed ages woul,
not be equalled.
A feature Of the few complete re.
turns is the high percentage Of the
indicated exemptions, averaging
approximately so per cent Of .he
total registration. Officials point
ed out, however, that this did not
mean actual exemptions, as the
indicated figures include all mar
ried men and those in executive,
judicial or legislative offices. un-
til exemption regulations have
been promulgated, it will be inn
possible to say how many Of these
will be included in those to be
marked off the military rolls.

night.

evident and as the liner is about to
go down the most narrowing scene
takes place Men and women, gone
temporarily mad, begin dropping into
the sea from points all over the ship,
only to, go down after a futile strug-

Unbelievably perfect is the best de
scription of the Photographic work il

ace theatre tonight. The triple ex
posures perfectly manipulated by the
cinematograph experts are marvellous
accomplishments. The remarkable
work is carried, not in one or two
short scenes, but through series OF
scenes of long duration.
Photography of the finest kind has
always been the reputation of Pallaa
pictures. The scenes where Myrtle
Stedman, the star, plays two charac-
ters at the same time, are sd start
ling that they surpass all description.

beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle Of dam
druff; you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair if you have dandruff.
This destructive scurf robs the hair
of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very
life, and if not overcome it produces
a feverishness and itching of the
scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen
and die; then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
cily, get 25-cent bottle Of Knowl-
tons Danderine at any drug store or
toilet counter; apply a little as di-
rected and ten minutes after you will
say this was the best investment you
ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if
you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful
hair and lots of it-no dandruff-no
itching scalp and no more falling
hair-you must use Knowlton's Dan
derine. If eventually-why not now?
