i At least four groups of Portland cap!
"tallsts, now that the government hasde
' f.idmA to Ignore the local field, are dl-
rectlngthelr attentions to the establish
went of concrete shipbuilding yards In
And near the city. The performance of
. the first large concrete vessel launched
' '. on the Coast, the Faith, which arrived
a,t Seattle in perfect condition after a
trying voyage from San Francisco bay,
, ha been a deciding factor in this con
st ruction movement.

' tinder $50,000 capitalization and wilt seek
'contracts. Government specifications,
r especially on proposed barges, will be
1 Bought by this or some of the future
to organisations and at the same time some
of the compares will take concrete
steam hull contracts. It Is known posi
tively 4hat contracts for companies
backed by Important men who have not
.yet announced themselves, for business
reasons-, are in the air and will be closed
-, soon as working organizations have
' been perfected. f
At least two of Portland!1 most proml-
' riant contracting companies have about
completed their organizations and the
announcement of their early activity is
expected dally. 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. Shares in the vesBel
will be sold to interested buyers to
'finance the Important deal. The sue

'one of whom is an experienced Hhip-

' " By Xewtoa C. Parke
With the American Army in France.
May SI. (L. N. S.) 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.

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.

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.
Absolutely noN figures on the losses
on either side have reached Wadhlns
