Tenth Ship Built

Oakland, Calf, Aug. 4.--Built In
twentyfour working days. the steel
cargo carrier Invincible. 1900 tons
capacity, was launched in Oakland
harbor at noon today from the Ala
media yard of the Bethlehem Ship
building corporation. This is claimed
by the yard managers as a world 8
record.
The speed in construction was al

director general OF the Emergency
Fleet corporation. When he raised the
blue pennant of the shipping board,
awarded for the best ship construction
for May in the United States. over the
Alameda yard. he asked the men to
get the Invincible ready for launching
in thirty days. They promised to do
it in twenty eight but have cut four
laws off that figure.
The raising of the blue pennant
was part of the ceremonies attendant
upon the launching of four boats
from the same yard on the Fourth of
July. Among them was the Defi-

The yard managers say that much
of the credit for the quick construc-

That the government has realized
the great Importance of the proper

by the fact that the Four Minute

SALvAGED SHIPS
NOW TOTAL 400,
SAYS ADMIRALT LTY
Some Vessels, Victims Of Sub

Raised Three TimeSi Oil Car
go Is Saved,

London, July 15.--Not all the ships
which German torpedoes and marine
collisions send to the bottom of the
sea stay there, In less than three years
more than 400 sunken merchant ves-
sells have been restored to service.
And more than one ship has been
raised, repaired, sent forth on a new
career, and then sunk and raised anew
for a third lease on life.
The rescue work is done by tho sal
wage section of the British navy. Be-
fore the war no one thought of at
tempting to save such wrecks as are
now brought up from the depths, but
ships are priceless. The financial val
ne of the salvage work is enormous
The cargoes salved themselves are
worth many millions of dollars.
Recently a big American tanker
collided on dark night in the Eng
lish channel with sturdy British
standard ship carrying oil. There was
an explosion Of ben2ine, and both ves-
sells were quickly swept by flames. OF
the crew of the British ship only eight
men, who jumped overheard, were
saved.
Salvage work on both ships began
with the arrival of tugs which, after
overcoming many difficulties, man
aged to tow them close to the shore.
There ii was necessary to sink them
by gunfre They are now being
brought to the surface, a long arduous
task.
The tanker, a fine vessel of some
500 feet long and new-built. had on
board 5000 tons of oil, and though
she blazed for days, half of the cargo
was salved. When thoroughly re-
paired, the tanker will be returned to
the United States, not much worse for
wear, the damage being estimated at
$3.50, ,000--a small amount in marine
figuring in thes edays when persons

BRASS AND COPPER

With the American Army on the
Aisne- Marne Front, Aug. (by the
Associated Press. )--When the French
came to Villeneuve Wednesday they
found twenty-five wounded or. dead
Germans in cots in the village church.
Several of these apparently had died
of starvation. so hurried was the Ger
man retreat. The Germans had been
using the church as a hospital with
sixty iron beds. all German made.
In another village, the Germans
had the church filled with mattresses
from the homes Of the people. There
were great piles of brass and copper
church vestments, all boxed. ready for
shipment to Germany. The brass and
copper apparently had been assem-
bied from other villages and included
Kitchen utensils. faucets and other ar
ticles.

Aug. A (by the Associated Press. )--
The Germans opposite parts of the
British front apparently are changing
their operations from offensive to de-
fensive. They have made q purely To-
cal retirement in the Albert sector to
the east bank Of the Ancre. This in
dicates a change in the enemy's atti-

London, Aug. 4-On the British
front the Germans have withdrawn
between Montdidier and Moreul, a
distance of ten miles. The French
hold the Slopes down to the western
side of the Avre river.
The situation around Albert is
somewhat obscure but the British
have been closely following the enc
nv and it is probable the Germans
have by now evacuated the eastern
bank of the Avre. The villages Of Ha-
mel and Dernancourt are IN the pos
session of the ellies.
Indications are the Germans do not
intend to make a permanent stand or
the banks of the Aisne, but that they
will retreat to the Chemin Des Danes
ridge, which is one of the strongest
positions in France and for the mo-
ment will try to hold the French
while getting away with their stores.
The allies captured the Chemin Des
Danes once.
