WASHINGTON, June 3-rMajor Gen.
eral Cocktails ordered yesterday l40,.
100000 feet of lumber from the South
ern Pine Association to be used in the
construction of one hundred wooden
vessels, which the government proposes
to use for the transportation of sup
plies and munitions to Europe and to
help defeat the submarine menace.
Each Of the vessels is TO cost $4,000.
The administration proposed recently
to construct 1000 wooden vessels in an
attempt TO cope with the German sub
marines. An, the steel sshipbuilding
yards In the country are crowded with
orders and working to the limit Of their
capacity, but it was discovered by a
survey that there is a considerable
number of plants equipped or capable of
being quickly equipped to construct
wooden vessels, and a part of the pro.
gram is to be carried out. a..
General Goethals, builder of the
Parma Canal, was placed in charge of
the work of having these small wooden
vessels turned out as rapidly as posi-
bic. He has several times gone on rec.
ord as being personally opposed to the
plan, stating that he did not believe
it would meet expectations. Through
compromise, he is going ahead with
the construction of two hundred of the
vessel as rapidly as possible. Some of
the wooden vessels are TO be built on
the Atlantic coast and some on the
Pacific Coast.

the British advanced their lines
along a front Of twenty miles,
from Loos to a point south OF
Bullccourt, their greatest gain be-
ing an extreme depth OF six miles
east of Arras. r.,a.s
Early in the offensive the Bril-
tish won a vastly important VIC
tory in the capture Of Nimy ridge,
which dominates the plains sur
rounding Douai, one of the most
important German strongholds.in
France. They also virtually SUR
rounded Lens and maintained
their gains despite the most des-
perate repeated counter attacks
by the German infantry. They in
flicted terrible losses upon the
troops Of Won Hindenburg who
were hurled against them in mass
formation, only, to be blown to
atoms by high explosive and
moved down like grain by the
pitiless fire of machine guns.
FRENCH ON HIGH GROUND
The French, in their section Of
the line, advancing along fifteen
mile front north of the Aisne,
seized the heights dominating the
valley of the Ailette, the last nat
ural defense in front Of Laon, the
retention Of which is regarded as
absolutely essential to the intc-
gritty of.von Hindenburg's present
line of defense.
! CROWN PRINCE BEATEN
In the Champagne the French
made extremely important gains
in the face of desperate resistance
on the part of the forces COM
manded by the German Crown
Prince. They took the heights Of
Mont Carnillet and Casque, Teton
and Mont Haut, comprising a
dominating ridge OF hills, and held
them against desperate attempts
on the part Of the Germans to
regain them by counter attacks.
The crown prince sacrificed thou
sands of his men in fruitless at
tempts to retrieve the lost posi-
ltions.
Virtually all the gains made by
both British and French have
ibeen held, many square miles OF
4 France are in consequence free al
