practicability of the plan. Reduction of cargo space, time necessary for construction of this character and sev- eral other factors are regarded as working against general adoption for the transport service. Rear Admirals Taylor and Griffin, respectively chief constructor and chief engineer of the navy, are members of the consulting board and will be present tomorrow.
 There appears to be no doubt that virtually non-sinkable ship could be built in any of the several ways. Neither the allied powers nor the United States has as yet found, how ever, any scheme, so far as known, that would justify it's general use. Time and cargo space are vital ele- ments in the war that must govern whatever is done.

portion of the Marne battlefront, but

War Office announced today.
Particularly violent enemy attacks
we're directed at the village of Chevy,
south of the Ourcq (near where an
American unit recaptured Neuilly),
but they were all stopped with heavy
boche losses.
The fighting on the southern and
eastern portions of the battlefront
was confined to artillery activity.
The French rectified their line
near Villers Cotterit,
