conceived on the same basic idea along

been determined how many centers
will be used. The matter is being
taken up with all Of the 700 summer
schools Of the country and probably
between so and IS Of the training
camps will be established, the schools
selected being chosen after careful in
vestigatiOn as to attendance, breadth
of influence and convenience of loca-

The training camps will be conduct
ed by leading educators whose cooper

The actual instruction will be under
the direction of DR.. Robert NJ. McEl-

number will be augmented by volun-
teers from the principal colleges and

demic duties have prevented them

the Offensive Since
July IS
FRONT SHORTENED
BY 33 MILES
Additional Reinforcements
Brought Up by Germans
Since Vesle Was Crossed

With the American Army on the Vesle,
Thursday, Aug Shy the Associated
Press In their offensive since July IS
the allies have regained approximately
1900 square kiIometers. More than 200
villages and towns, including Scissors,
Chateau Thierry and Fismes, are again
in the hands of the allies The front has
been shortened by fifty.three kilometers
(about thirty-three miles,.
According to information contained in
documents in possession Of the French
and Americans, the Germans in the rear
guard fighting during the retreat used
four more divisions than they had con-
templated using to break the French
lines when the German offensive began.
The enemy plans called for thirteen d.
visions to shatter the French and to
cross the Marine between Dormans and
Chateau Thierry.
Information gathered by the allies is
to the effect that in falling back the Ger
mans brought into action at least sew
enteen divisions before reaching the
Yesle. Additional reinforcements have
been brought up since the Vesle was
crossed. A division, which was resting in
Flanders, is known to have reached the
region north of Fismes Tuesday.

inspection.
The Rumania trip, according to his
former travelling companion, was un-
dertaken after a series Of confidential
meetings among Hale, Chancellor Won
Bethmann .Hollweg and representatives
of the foreign office.
Hale, witness said, had a small die
tionary which he explained was TO be
used in receiving and sending code mes
sages
Some months later, the testimony
shows, Hale arranged with the steward
of Scandinavian liner to carry for him
to the United States, at $500 trip,
messages to be delivered to the ship at
Copenhagen,
The deputy attorney general also
made public comparisons of a purported
interview between Hale and Bethmann-
Hollweg, printed in the American in
July, 1915, with extracts from Hale's
american Rights and British Preten-
sions," issued the previous year The
German chancellor, according to Hale's
dispatch, used in a statement regret
ting" Americas acquiescence in the Brit
ish sea control policy, phrases almost
identical with some Of those in DR.. Hale's
book.
Other sentences in DIR. Hale's volume
and the interview, said Mr., Becker, were
similarly alike.

RIVETLESS STEAMSHIP
PROVES A BIG SUCCESS
Carries Full Cargo on Maiden Trip--A
Great Saving in Time and Man-Power
by Electric. Welded Vessel.

London, Aug o. - The first rivetless
steel vessel has completed her maiden
voyage successfully. With full cargo
and in rough weather she answered in a
satisfactory way the severe tests i'm
posed. The vessel is II feet between
perpendiculars, l6 feet beam, displace-
ment 275 tons. More than 24O man hours
were saved in construction and an econ
omy OF more than LOCO pounds of metal
was effected by the absence of riyets.
The cost of electrodes, owing mainly to
the present limited use, was consider
able, but it is estimated that future de-
mand and competition viii reduce the
price 60 per cent. 1t was possible to
build this vessel, an experimental ship, at
a saving of from 25 to 40 per cent in
time and about 10 per cent in material.
Riyeting viii probably not be dispensed
with altogether, as for certain sections
it is cheaper and quicker than electric
welding, but the combination Of riveting
and welding is likely to be extensively
adopted as in case, for instance, some
l0O00-ton ships be constructed the num-
Der of rivets to be used is reduced to 2h
per cent.
