|G|RL ATHLETES TO
 SAIL FOR FRANCE
Team to Represent United States
 Gets Aboard the AQuitania

New York, Aug. l.-America will send forth today on the Aquitania the first contingent Of girl track athletes who have ever gone to represent the nation on foreign soil. They will compete in the international track and field games in Pershing Stadium, Paris August 2o
 Not only in athletics but In femin- ism does their sailing set mark. Before the war women were virtually strangers to the track and field, but in the stress Of conflict, particularly in Europe, when womanhood stepped forward to fill the jobs left vacant by the departure of men to the battle front, they participated in games to it them for their more strenuous duties in industry.
 The result was that running, jump ing and weight throwing became part of the feminine calendar, in addition to riding, swimming, tennis and golf. When international games were sug gested to compare the athletic pro- gress made by women of various na- tons, an invitation was sent to the United States.
 Girls Trained Hard
 Girls colleges and boarding schools took up the challenge. Instead of standing on the side lines cheering their brothers and sweethearts on the field, thousands of. girls spent the spring training and preparing them selves, not always under expert ute lage, but sufficiently well to break half a dozen world records when they went into competition
 The field was narrowed to inter school and interclass meets, then by numerous sectional elimination con tests, and finally two national meets were held one in the east the other which 13 girls were picked to go to Europe. The judges are positive that the 1s are the best in the nation.
 In the meantime, much trouble was experienced in stimulating sufficient public enthusiasm to get the money to send the team abroad, with the re- suit that nearly all the girls are pay ing their own expenses-one had to borrow the funds with the promise of repayment when she leaves school and some of the entertainment plan ned for them must be curtailed.
 F1apperism Dropped
 For the last few days they have been gathered at Newark, N. J., training at Veequahic park. They have dropped frivolity and flapperism and are as serious minded as a boxer on the verge of a championship bout.
 Definite assignment of the girl ath- letes has not yet been made by pr. Harry Stewart of New Haven. Conn.,, the coach and physician and individ- ual, who, more than any other, is re- sponsble for this long step in fem inism. Assignments will not be made until near the close of training in Paris
 With the team, in addition to Dr. Stewart and Suzanne Becker of Oaks l mere school Mamaroneck, N. T., will be Mrs. Stewart and Joseph D'Angola of Newark, a member of the Ameri- can delegation of the international who also will be accom- panied by his wife. The mothers of two of the girls will go along as chap erones.
 None of the athletes has passed the bobbed hair age, though the tresses of all haven't been shorn, and the youngest. Nancy Vorhees. New York, and Ethel Walker school, is only IS, but quite a high jumper.

PAPER FACTORY MEN SEEKING WAGE TERM !
Threats of Strike Among Un.
 skilled Workers Heard

New York, May 12.--Leaders of 3o,0oo unskilled paper workers ar ranged to meet manufacturers today to extricate their men from the posi- ton In which they were placed yes- terday when the skilled men of the industry signed separate wage agrce- ments.
 Threats of strike among the un- skilled men were numerous today al- though the skilled men have signed contracts their decision to work would not prevent walkout of half the men in the newsprint mills, John P. Burke president of the interna- tional brotherhood pulp sulphide and paper workers declared today.
 Seven of the major manufacturers will not be represented in the con- ference. They already have signed with the skilled men and announced their refusal to treat with the un- skilled men as an international group. With the consent of the skilled crafts men they have declared common labor shall henceforth be paid ac- cording to prevailing rates in locali- ties where employed.
 Three so-called independent com panies have signed separate wage agreements where the unskilled union men are considered on par with skilled men. Four others are expect cd to take similar action today.
 This union leaders assert will leave the newsprint paper industry almost n,,1p Ii,,tI ,,,,k affecting every employee within 50 per cent of the industry and the re- maining mills one half open shop.
