BEGINS ID REPLACE TONNAGE DESTROYED
 BY ENEMY U-BOATS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.-America today began to replace the tonnage sunk by German submarines in the days before the allied ship yards had reached production equal to the toll of the U-boats.
 With the launching of the 7,500-ton Quistconck, sponsored by Mrs. Wood row Wilson, the stage of quantity pro- duction was reached. From this time forward. the increasing output of ves- sels will not merely offset the naval efforts of Germany, but will steadily make up the deficiency in world ton mage.
 First Launching from Great Plant
 The QuistcOnck is the first ship to be launched from the great Hog Island snlpyard and the occasion was made worthy of the epoch in the nations history which Chairman Hurley of the shipping board declared it marked. The men who built the ship and the men who directed their work. mingled in comradely spirit with government officials, while the presence of the chief executive and his family were the source of unding enthusiasm.
 Mrs. Wilson was given a basket of pink roses by William McMllan. the man who drove the first rivet in the Quisconck. Mrs. Wilson dropped her bouquet of orchids to shake hands with McMilan.
 Presidents Wife Is Sponsor
 American made champagne was used for the christening. Mrs. Wilson was shown how to handle the be-ribboned bottle. the president laughing merrily as she practiced the blow in panto- mime.
 Do it right, now" he cautioned her When the blocks were knocked away and the hull began to move, Mrs. Will son raised the bottle and struck the prov squarely.
 T christen Chee Quistconck," she said, giving the DOW the ancient Indian name of Hog Island. There was a sil- yer spurt and the sponsor stepped back in laughing dismay. as the wine stained the delicate grey of her dress.
 Lay. Keel in Two Minutes
 The newly vacated way swarmeG with workmen, who laid keel No. 39 ir less than two minutes after the finished boat had gone. President Wilson stepped eagerly to the front of the stand to get a clear view of the work.
 "No I've been working too hard te prpare speech" the president replied to shouted requests that he say some. thing.

AMERICAN TROOPS
 AMONG FIRST ID
 REACH ARCHANCEL

KANALASKA, Sunday, Aug. 14.- (By the Associated Press )-American troops participated in the landing of the allied forces at Archangel last week The first detachment of the in- ternational forces included members of the Russian officers league.
 The participation of the Americans in the landing has been greeted en- thusiastically in northern Russia. The people consider that the United States is absolutely without selfish interests as regards Russia and look upon the Americans as guarantee of the friend Illness of the allies toward Russia.
 Cheered By Popuace
 The population of Archangel received the troops with cheering. The men debarked and advanced toward Arch angel. where already the anti bol- shevik revolution had taken place. The leaders in this movement invited the protection of the allied troops.
 The final resistance of the bolsheviki occurred Saturday. They were de- finitely defeated at the station al Ysa- kagorka on the left bank of the Dvina.
 Bolshevik Seize Treasure
 In their flight from Archangel the bOlshevik forces carried away forty million rubles in money and much oth- CT treasure, but left many supplies be- hind them.
 The new provisional government al Archangel. which has assumed power throughout the region of the north is receiving the volunteer support ot the village soviets in the country ad- joining Archangel.

GERMANS BURN ALL
 BRIDGES IN REAR

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE. Aug. 5.-(By the Associated Press)-Following the withdrawal of the Germans in the region of Albert, all the bridges across the Ancre river in the region covered by the retire ment have been destroyed. The Ger mans are still holding the river cross ing in the village of Albert South of the town the line now runs from Der nancourt to Meaulte. about two miles to the northeast and thence to Albert. This new line is under heavy artillery fire from the enemy guns.
 Further south, along the Avre river where the Germans retired from their positions on the west bank on Satur- day, all the bridges across the river have been destroyed and the roads leading to them have been dynamited.
 At the moment, therefore, it would appear that the Germans do not con- template any offensive on these parts of the line.

URGES IMMEDIATE ENACTMENT OF NEW
 MAN POWER PROGRAM

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5-Provost Marshal General Crowder today urged the immediate enactment of the ad- ministration's man-power program which was introduced in both houses of Congress and suggested September as registration day for the 13.000.- 900 men between the ages of IS and 45 whose names are not already on the nations selective service list
 Unless immediate steps are taken to provide additional men, General Crow der said the weekly registration of men as they attain 21 years of age will be necessary to fill the draft quotas after September l when only 100 900 of the 1918 registrants will be avail able.
 Contrary Opinions on Quick Action
 Chairman Chamberlain announced that the Senate Military Committee would meet tomorrow. He said he did not think hearings would be necessary and only three or four days should be required to report the bill. Chairman Dent, of the House Committee, said since only three members of his con- mittee are in Washington, it was doubtful whether the bill could be acted upon before the House recon venes on August 19.
 The suggestions made on the Sen ate floor by Senator Curtis. of Kan sas. that the Senate abandoned Its program of recesses and perfunctory sessions until August "A. if the bill can be favorably reported by the commit tee within a few days were indorsed by Senator Chamberlain. However. Senate leaders now in the city said any plans to this effect would be held in abeyance until the committee could determine just how much time would be necessary for thorough discus sion of the bill.
 Would Amend Present Law.
 The bill would amend the present selective act so as to require the registration of all men between IS and 20 years. and 32 and 45 years in elusive. While the total number of men in the latter classes would total 1O.02S.973. General Crowder estimates the total number who would be eli gble for Class 1 would only be SOL 236. owing to exemptions for depend ants or industrial and physica' reasons. Between IS and 20 years. his estimates show that S,171.771 would register, while l,7S7. .609 men would bt | eligible for Class l.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Names of American soldiers who have fallen in the great Franco American drive which turned the German offensive on the Marne into an utter defeat, have begun to come in from overseas. They swelled to f7O6 the total casualties made public today by the war depart ment in two separate lists.
 Although nearly three times as great as the largest number heretofore an- nounced in a single day. the total today have been accommodating since the great battle began July 15. And it is not to be assumed that it represents the losses for any one day.
 No Estimate from Pershing
 No estimate of the American casu- alties in this continuous fighting has been received from General Pershing and it was said authoritatively today that none is expected. In that connec- ton Acting Secretary of War Crowell today deprecated any guesses as to NdSudllttS III llit ONtIScdS IOTCcS, say = ing that publication which would eX- aggerate or minimize the total would create unnecessary anxiety among the relatives and friends of American sol diers.
 Of the names made public today 459 were of those killed in action and so who died from wounds. The second list contained only names of the dead -256 killed in action and 43 who died of wounds.
 Will Give Lists Promptly
 Acting Secretary Crowell told news paper correspondents today that Gen. eral Pershing would supply complete and verified casualty lists as rapidly as they can be transmitted and that they would be given to the press.

HOLD FAST,' KEYNOTE OF LLOYD GEORGES MESSAGE ID BR|TONS

LONDON, Aug. 5.-"Hold fast" was the keynote of a message to the Brit ish empire issued by Premier Lloyd George and promulgated in a drastic way throughout the kingdom at the hour of o'clock tonight. The mes- sage was read to the audiences in all theaters. concert halls and other places where people were assembled. Sealed copies of the message had been dis tributed to the managers of all these places with the request that they open and read it at o'clock. The message follows:
 The message which I send to the people of the British empire on the fourth anniversary of the entry into the war is hold fast
 No Stop Short of Victory.
 We are in this war for no selfish ends. We are in it to recover freedom for the nations which have been brut- ally attacked and despoiled and to prove that no people, however power ful, can surrender itself to the law less ambitions of militarism without meeting retribution, swift, certain and disastrous, at the hands of the free na- tions of the world. To stop short of victory for this cause would be to com promise the future of mankind. T say hold fast because our pros poets of victory have never been so bright as they are today. Six months ago the rulers of Germany deliberate | ly rejected the just and reasonable settlement proposed by the .allies. Throwing aside the last mask of mod eration, they partitioned Russia, en- slaved Rumania and attempted to seize common power by overthrowing the allies in a final and desperate at tack.
 Will Never Realize Dream.
 Thanks to the invincible bravery of all the allied armies, it is now evil dent to all that this dream of uni versal conquest. for the sake of which they wantonly prolonged the war. can never be fulfilled.
 But the battle is not yet won. The great autocracy of Prussia will still endeavor by violence or guile. to avoid defeat and so give militarism a new lease of life. We cannot seek to es- cape the horrors of war for ourselves by laying them up for our children Having set our hands 10 the task. we must see it through till a just and Tasting settlement is achieved.
 Tn no other way can we secure a world set free from war.
