A company with well " defined plans looking to concrete con struction Is that In which El wood Wiles, George W. McBride. A. S. Kix and Carl -1L Jackson are figures. This company : contemplates, it 1h understood, letting a contract to one of the constructing companies now forming for the erection '. of a concrete hull.

During a series of air fights this morning over the front northwest of Toul, American aviators shot down a German machine which fell well within our lines. At the hour this dispatch is written our aviators are still chasing a number of Boches, which have been out since daybreak. It is not known what American airman gained the victory. NET LABOR POLICIES Senator Johnson BOARD FORMED WTH .A3 prpud as a squad of infantrymen in France which has Just returned from a successful Journey "over the top," the prize assembling crew of the Supple Ballin Shipbuilding company has flashed throughout the nation the news that It has officially clipped 10 hours off its former record in setting up hull frames on agovernment vessel. Out to lower Its own record, the prize crew, headed by Yard Superintendent Thomas Thompson, this week erected 80 full frames on government hull No. 233 In Just -34 'Working' hours,'! or, .10 hours less than the previoufi world's record, a Wo held by the- Supple-Ballin yards. Twenty-seven men were mem bers of the prize -crew, and --their mates today hold them up in much the same way , that fans do a winning, baseball team. ' ' i Record Wins Wide Pnbllclty "This record is not the result ,of a stunt on the part of the men." a com pany official declared, "but is an ex hibition of "the fact that they, have dis covered the secret of erecting hulls with maximum consistent speed. We expect that most of the frames put up 'oh our ways hereafter will hot be far behind the world's record." The Emergency Fleet -corporation of ficially recognizes .for national honors speed In frame construction, and ,had only recently entered the Supple-Ballin crew as holders of the record for erect ing 79 full frames In 44 hours. 'The new record of 80 full frames in 34 hours will be widely heralded In the publications of the shipping board. J. Weston Hall, assistant district supervisor of wooden ship construction, at once wired the new record to Washington, and Judge Arthur Langguth, vice president of the Supple Ballin company, sent pictures of the start and finish of the work to the ship ping board. , Heretofore the erection of 12 full frames In a day has been considered highly creditable work. However, the Supple-Ballin crew, on the first day of Its record trial, put up 57 full frames. The record is the more remarkable be cause of the exceptional size of the Ballin type hull, being much larger than the Hough and Fwls types which have been . built extensively here and else where. Oregon shipyards continue to hold the three chief records for wooden ship building. Supple-Ballin has the frame erection record, the Grant Smith-Porter Ship company has the record for time from keel laying to launching, having put the hull of the Caprbnika in the water 49 days after the keel was laid, and the McEachem Shipbuilding com pany of Astoria has the official shipping board record for speed in keel laying, having put down the base of a wooden hull in five minutes. , Salem. May SI. The state lime board met here today and delgated A. B. Cord ley, chairman. "Warden Murphy of the penitentiary and Benton Bowers of Ash land to go to Gold Hill and decide what to do with ihe state lime plant now that the 120,000 appropriation Is exhausted. Chairman Cordley said there was a bare possibility that some agricultural tlm mnM hA nroducea I or mu-Mi wim the unfinished plant and this would bring Irf funds with which to operate until the n Tariainture meets and makes an other appropriation for the completion of the plant. However, that possibility was not con idrd to be very strong, and the next thing under consideration. In event the plant has to be shut down, was whether to move everything portable to Gold'HIU for storage or to board up the macnin ery and employ a watchman to guard it until the next legislature provides more funds. Warden Murphy said that there was not enough money remaining to employ a watchman for a year, which would be as soon as the board could expect to ob tain more funds through a legislative ap propriation. Efforts to obtain $10,000 through the emergency board failed, as a quorum was not present on the date set for the meeting, while Senator W. D. Wood, one of the members whq did not attend, sent a telegram opposing action by the emer gency board. . Warden Murphy has 19 convicts em ployed at the lime riant, who will be returned to the penitentiary if the plant is shut down.

(U. ,fj superior judtre anrrin', who on Tuesday resentenced Thomas J. M coney to death, today ; Bent a communication to Governor Stephens about the case. The judge' declined to reveal the con tents' of his message. ..i- - Frequently in tne past Judge Griffin has : expressed ; the belief tbat Mooney at the should have a. new triaL Washington. May 81. (I. N. S.) Army experts here today were con cerned over reports that the Germans in their smashing drive at Soissons and toward the Marne, claim to have captured large quantities of munitions, cannon and other war materials. Up to. the present there had been strong hopes entertained that despite the t-everlty of the German attack, the al lied forces had succeeded In withdraw ing their artillery. It is accepted now, however, that this was not the case, ' there being no disposition to question the German claim, although there is as yet no . confirmation from allied sources. How ever, it Is expected that every, effort will be made to replace this artillery at once. There Is a goodly reserve supply both in France and tngland and it will be rushed to the front while the American factories will get busy replacing and storing up addi tional reserves for the time of need. Americans Expected to Participate There was a growing belief in of ficial circles today that the American forces in France will take a- very decided part In the present fighting. There are many well trained units available behind the lines who can be brought Into action while the Plcardy army very HKeiy win remain where it la. In ' Plcardy there are more than 100,000 Americans, but they are a part of the Anglo-French reserves held there to frustrate any attempt on the part of - the Germans to break through toward the channel ports. They very likely will remain .there, but it Is ex pected that the other American units who are south or the Marne either will be used as a part of the reserves now being sent in by Foch in the Soissons-Rhelms sector, or will be sent to other parts of the front to replace veteran French forces that will be used against the, Germans. However, officials here generally believe that the Americans will be used In the present fight. Way Sought Toward Paris Army experts here' believe today that the present German objective Is to find a foothold in the valley of the Marne. Such a success naturally would open up a way directly toward Paris, but' there, was strong confi dence that before very many hours the German advance will be completely checked. The French lines are re ported In the overnight dispatches to the- war department as holding solidly west of Solssons and along the west ern bank of the Olse river. The Ger man advance in the center was be lieved to be slowing up. In ' the vicinity or . itneims constant attacks were being repulsed. This was especially gratifying, the military ex perts said. In view or the fact that the French reserves had experienced considerable diriicuity in getting to the exposed points while the Germans have been able to utilize all of their (reserves to the utmost right from the start or tne present - movement.
