Mrs. Wilson played part in tn,

ship as she did so.

I guess it's all right" laughed the
president. as he clapped sturdy

white hot end of the rivet had been
beaten to round head, neatly
edged against the keel plate.
pretty fair work." commented
the shipbuilder with a grin.
A great crowd saw the beginning
of the first ship to be built in Alex
andria since the days when four
masters flourished on the Potomac
and Chesapeake bays. Others OF the
presidents party from Washington
were Senators Martin of Virginia :
Simmons of North Carolina and
Fletcher of Florida; Speaker Clark,
former Speaker Cannon and Repre-
sentative Carlin of Virginia.
Greeted With Cheers.
A shrieking siren in the shipyard
shops announced that the president
had arrived and when he mounted
the wooden ladder to the top OF the
concrete ways he was greeted with
roar of cheers.
President Wilson prepared imme-
diately to business. The signal was
given and gigantic travelling crane
slowly lowered the last heavy plate
of the keel into position; tempo
rary bolts were placed to hold it
firm and then Supt. Charles An
drews. acting as heater, drew from
the charcoal furnace a blazing nub
of iron and placed it through one
of the multtudinous holes in the
keel plates.
As the president stepped forward
to take hold of the airgun several
motion picture cameras began to
click.
Some one asked Mr.. Wilson if he
objected.
Not Camera Shy.
"Not at all, I'm not camera shy,
he replied.
Robert Mooney, rivet foreman,
placed the heavy pneumatic hammer
in position against the rivet head
and William Simms on the other
side OF the plate leaned his weight
against the holder-on hammer. The
president then slowly pressed down
on the trigger of the riveter.

force.

Wednesdays struggle for Sois-

when large numbers OF German
troops obtained a footing in the
eastern suburbs of the town.
Shortly afterward they were
elected and the allied troops hung
on the outskirts for some time,
confronting with cold steel the des-
perate enemy efforts to drivs'~ifl.
The valor OF the defenders, how
ever, was greater than their
strength, ana when fresh German
troops launched a new assault the
line OF combat receded into the
town and there was fighting in the
streets from house to house.
The small body of French troops
holding the place finally gave way,
but only after many of individual
duels with bayonets, revolvers and
rifle butts.

BOY SCOUTS GET
READY FOR HIKE
PLANS MADE, TO LEAVE
ARDMORE FOR HONEY
CREEK MONDAY.

The Boy Scouts of Ardmore vii
go on their first camping trip fol
the summer the first week in June
leaving Ardmore Monday morning
and returning on Saturday. 1t is
the custom OF the Boy Scouts OF
America to go on several hikes dur
ing the summer, but since they
havepledged themselves to do all in
their power to help Uncle Sam win
the war and to help big brother
who is doing the fighting, it is
likely that this will be the only
hike that will be taken during the
summer.
AS Scouts, they believe that every
boy should have at least few
days for camping, swimming AMI
fishing after nine months good
hard work. SO for that reason they
hope to have every Boy Scout in
Ardmore that is in good standing
go on this hike.
Camp Already Arranged.
The hike has been well planned.
The camping site has been visited
and all arrangements have been
made for the boys there. Trucks
have been secured to take as many
as seventy boys. A man with wa
gon and team has been secured to
take all of the provisions and camp
equipment.
Each boy is required to register
on or before tonight, and pay in
$500, which will pay his entire
camping expenses including trans
portation. Each boy must bring
his camping equipment to Scout
Hall for inspection. After inspec-
ton this will be turned over to the
teamster TO take to camp.
An inspection will be made by
the executive committee on the
lawn at Convention Hall Monday
morning at 8 o'clock. The trucks
will be waiting at $50.
The camp will be located on
Honey Creek, one-half mile from
the Washita river. Those desiring
to visit the camp may inquire for
Mr.. Russell's place.
A boy will be left at Scout Hall
during the stay in the mountains.

THE PATRIOTIC REVIEW
OF JOHN B. RATIO

An important and impressive fea-
ture of ohm B. Ratios chautauqua
program in this city will be a his
toric and patriotic review, consist
ing of striking approximations OF
the great characters in the national
life of not only the United States
but our allies.
The actual cost of equipment OF
this sketch alone was over $500. No
expense was spared to secure the
very best results. The forehead OF
the wigs was made OF the finest
kid, carefully stretched over a mold
which was the exact size and shape
of Mr.. Ratios head. Mr.. Carl Ket-
tier, his wig man, who, by the way,
was in the personal employ of J os-
eph sterson as costumer and
dresser, personally superintended
their making and Mr.. Kettler says
it is the finest set OF wigs ever
made by him. The makeup is done
in Mr., Ratios usual way, in full
view of the audience and only thirty
seconds to 4 minute are consumed
in each change.
The speech of each character is
up-to-date and timely, handling the
war from Peter of Servia's answer
to Austria's demand, to the well
coming OF the United States as one
OF the allies by President Poincaire
of France.
In the presentation of Washing
ton, his acceptance of the command
OF the Army of the Revolution is
used; for Lincoln an excerpt from
one OF his speeches concerning sac
rifice in support of the constitu-
ton; for Grant, his response to
Lincoln's appointing him command
er-in-chief of the Northern forces;
for Lee, his decision of loyalty to
his state; for Uncle Sam, typi-
cal speech which plea to back |
Wilson as the old folks did Lincoln.
Everywhere this sketch is pro-
duced it is pronounced a classic
and great applause greets each in
dividual Characterization.
Ardmore's chautauqua will be
held the week of June 10.
