Standardized shpbuilding with the ships
cas-. OF steel is now proposed. The plan IS
TO build the ship hull in sections, each
casting as large as conditions will allow
and to weld the castings together electrically
by an arc method. One casting might con-
stitute the bottom of the vessel for Sec
ton eight feet in the dimension lengthwise
of the ship; another casting would form prac-
tically one side of the hull for that section,
and third the corresponding side opposite;
fourth casting would form part of the
deck framework or the stiffenng between the
upper parts of the sides.
The scheme is thus to build a large num-
Der of substantially identical sections, so
that the work may be carried out or the du-
plication plan of manufacture, and at the
same time it is intended 10 afford a means
of adding rapidly to shipbuildng capacity
without depending upon the rolling mills,
which are already so fully engaged in con-
nection with shipbulding and locomotive and
she'll steel orders and for products for other
than direct war purposes. Midship sections
would of course, be duplicated to large ex-
tent, and then for the corresponding parts Of
standardized ships the identical castings
would be used.
Ten Yards for 100000 Tons
Mr. Myron F. Hill, an attorney of this city,
talks of his shipbuiding project in terms
OF 100000 tons of shipping per year. In
view of the fact that the open-hearth ca
pacity of the country is well occupied with
present demands including the manufacture
of stern posts, locomotive parts, etc, he con-
siders that the building of new open-hearth
plants for the special purpose of building
ships is essential. AS a preliminary esti-
mate. he considers that ten foundry shipyards
should be considered, located where water for
launching is available as we'll as fuel, ore, and
labor.
From the ideal standpoint he would pro-
vide blast furnaces at the shpyard, so that
molten metal from the furnaces might be
taken to the open-hea furnaces. Each yard
would be equipped with about fifty open
hearth furnaces of Twenty-Five to thirty tons
capacity each, to secure $4,000 tons of ship
ping per month in each such plant. He has
made a brief survey of the possibilities of
getting refractory material, furnace charging
machines, and travelling cranes and other
equipment, and believes that the foundry
shipyards may be built in about five months
If blast furnaces are constructed, present re-
sources of pig iron are to be drawn upon I'M
til the furnaces are ready.
The general plan of each plant is to be
such that the steel castings are to be as
sembled on the ways and there electrically
welded; then beyond the ways, or in slips,
the upper portions of the hulls may be COM
pleted and the engines installed while the

DR., j. H. Rice, Jewell Smith and
o. Fl. Anderson, the county exemp-
ton board, the first of the week d.
vided the 5000 names from this coun-
ty into three lots and had typewriter
records made of the names. This
work must be finished by to day, wher
they will meet and resume their work
by placing the official serial number
on the registration cards and the du-
plicateS. The three sets of numbered
duplicates will then be forwarded to
the federal authorities and lists for in
Spection prepared, which task must
be completed to-day. The local boards
have no instructions further than this,
for the present.
1t its probable that about l 2 per cent.
OF the names will be drawn by lot and
cut OF this draft the physically unfit
will be taken and then claims for ex-
emption will be heard. Vacancies will
be filled by another draft and so on
until each county has its quota act
ually in service.
Rules for the selection will be an
nounced soon.

German Crown Prince Com
pletely Repulsed on IL Mile
Front, Leaving Many Dead
RUSSIANS HOLD WINNINGS
Republic Artillery Crushes
Attacks on Captured
Points Near Brzezany.

After their strongest offensive eff
ort since Verdun the Germans found
themselves yesterday thrown back
everywhere along an IL mile front
along the Chemen Des Danes, leav-
ing the ground thickly strewn with
their dead, and having failed to take
even one French soldier prisoner.
The French lines remained intact
and the French commanding general,
who watched the operations through
out from the front trenches, was able
to declare that not a single yard of
territory had been lost.
With the Russians holding their
gains in Galicia against Austro-Ger-
man attacks, the indications of stron-
ger activity in the other war theatres
are multiplying. On the western front
the British have advanced and the
French artillery is active from north
of the Aisne to the Mouse; the artille-
ry activity has increased on the entire
Autsro-Italian front; there has been
greater local activity in Rumania and
on the Macedonian front the Germans
have taken the offensive on small
sector. 1853.
In an attack against the German
lines southwest of Hollebeke, in Flan-
ders, along the Ypres canal and on
the northern end of the recent Brit
ish advance against the Messines
ridge, Field Marshal Haig's troops
have driven the Germans back on a
front Of 600 yards. Maj. Gen. Man.
rice, of the British army in France
had not lost gun since April, 1a15,
and since the beginning of the; war
the British had captured 729 guns and
lost only 1873, of which 81 were recap
tured.
The German crown prince has not
repeated his attacks in Champagne
and the French still cling to the pre-
dominating positions on this front.

AT the Patriotic Celebration
AT Virginia Park July
the Fourth.
GREAT CROWD PRESENT
Visitors and Local Speakers
Are Cheered By
Thousands.

Probably 1000 people assembled
at Virginia Park Wednesday night to
hear patriotic speeches by several
visitors and local speakers.
The program opened at $50 and
lasted until nearly 10 O'Clock. Prof.
L. E. Foster presided and the first
speaker introduced was Rev. E. Dean
Fleetwood, of Elgin, ILL.,, who is
holding meeting at the Universalist
church. He delivered an eloquent
patriotic address complimenting Ken
lucky and bringing warm greeting
from the people of our sister state
across the river. He paid high
tribute to the President.
Chas. o. Prowse followed with a
glowing tribute to the Stars and
Stripes, couched in eloquent words
and delivered with impressive grace.
Prof. E. Bruce Weathers, of Elkton,
proved to be as fine an orator as he
is teacher and uncorked some fer.
vid fourth-of-July eloquence that
reused much enthusiasm. His voice
is strong and clear and well suited
for open-air speaking.
Chas. M. Meacham discussed the
birthday of the nation and the star
spangled banner as the emblem Of
our liberties and referred to the fac
that the American flag was at tina
hour floating from the Parliamen
House in London and decorating tn,
capital of France. About this tim,
the lights went out the oratorica
fireworks having eclipsed the electri
city and the conclusion was by moon
light.
Thos. C. Underwood conducted
the moonlight school of oratory in q
patriotic appeal for Red Cross dona'
tons, bottling up an unspoken speech
for another time.

Engine Blows Up and Sets
Fire to the Separator
and the Wheat.
LOSS OF ABOUT $1,000
Explosion and Fire Occurred
on E. D. Jones Farm
Near Newstead.

The engine of a wheat separator
owned by Jones Brothers blew up
at l:S0 p. m. Thursday while thresh-
ing wheat on the E. d. Jones farm,
southwest of town. The fire in the
engine box was blown into the wheat
and straw and about the thresher and
quickly consumed the whole outfit
and straw rick. Tom C. Jones and
Lacian Jones were both on the Sepa-
uator assisting in ats operation, but
both escaped injury. A negro man
who was firing was scalded by es-
Gaping steam but not seriously. No
one was otherwise injured, although
many hands were close by. The fire
reached about $50 bushels of threshed
wheat piled in sacks and the top sacks
were burned and the loose wheat ran
down covering the bottom sacks and
lessening the loss.
The loss as it was reached about
$1,000, with no insurance except a
policy covering the threshed grain on
the farm, that part of the loss be-
ing probably S2OO.
The Messrs. Jones with their char
acteristic energy Immediately trans
ferred all of their teams and hands
to r. H. McGaughey's, helping Mr..
McGaughey in his threshing and the
latter will move his thresher to the
Jones farm as soon as he finishes.
The yield Of wheat is showing up
well and the quality is a fine grade of
number two. The Jones brothers
have been hit by some heavy misfor-
tunes in recent years. Only year
or two ago, a windstorm destroyed
all the barns on the place
and damaged the dwelling house, en-
failing loss Of several thousand dol
.ars. Last year an early sale of their
tobacco crop, before the surprising
advance in price, caused them to lose |
heavily.

"The French nation is we'll able ia
i bear the larger share of war expenses
To date she had contributed $l3,000,-
100000. But this is hardly fifth of the
total war cost. New taxes add billion
of state revenues to this.
cit is naturally difficult for France
to subject large properties and indus
tries to any general tax because many
industries are now no longer in oper-
alton. The invasion by the Germans
seized many of our plants. But the
French fiscal system is most democratic
and most flexible.
''We feel confident our new legisla-
tion will have the desired results
namely in throwing the main burden of
taxation on our richer classes.
Guarding Financial Prestige.
''Our aim now is to consolidate our
strength and safeguard our financial
prestige to enable France to fulfill all
her obligations to the allies.
eff we accomplish this, it is es-
sential that France continue her eco
nomie effort for a long period after
the war reforms now instituted. Our
easy before the war mode of living must
become generally more austere. 1t is
especially necessary to forego luxuries
as far as possible.
"we are now introducing law tax
ing such expenditures. On the other
hand the industries manufacturing lux
uries in France have always been a
great source of revenue to us. There
fore it is essential they be maintained
and encouraged.
"For this encouragement we are de-
pending on our alGes-and especially on
Americans. They will be able greatly to
contribute to revival of French pros
perity by purchasing French luxuries,
during the period in which we will be
forced to our most severe economy, pay
ing off our war debts and reconstruct
ing our ruined districts.
