Alexandria, Va., May 30.?President
Wilson lent a hand today in
driving a rivet in the keel of whal

9,400 ton freighter for the shipping
board. Mrs. Wilson also played a
part in the keel laying, guiding the
last vertical plate into position and
naming the ship as she did so.
Washington, May 30.?Railroad
employees were reminded by Director
General McAdoo tonight that
they are employees of the United
Stats in time of war, and that a
strike means a blow, at their own
government and the hampering of
transportations essential to protect
hundreds of thousands of American
boys fighting on the battlefields of
Europe.

i wide suffrage for women is sidetracked
in the Senate today. After
the unsuccessful effort about two
weeks ago to bring up the question
of a Federal amendment to the constitution
providing suffrage for women,
those members of the Senate who
are urging the measure apparently
have dropped all of their efforts to
/ force a vote now. They are still at
work, however, but their work is on
the quiet missionary order and stren
uous efforts are being made to bring
some of the undecided into the suffrage
camp.

Gordon, May 31.?The last
of the May draft quota of 15,000
men who had been ordered to report
at Camp Gordon arrived here Thursday,
when 2,000 new selectmen reported
from Cleveland, Ohio, 1,000
from rural towns and cities in Illij
nois and 500 from various parts of
(h|v Georgia.
SiWashington,
May 31.?Every
ij horse and mule with the American
expeditionary forces is to have a
gas mask. ' The gas defense service
is now manufacturing 5,000 masks
' daily and large shipments to France
are being made, the War Department
announced today. The type of
the mask that will protect the
f. dumb heroes from Hun gas is said
to be the most effective that has
been devised, and is capable of neutralizing
all known gass that affect
animals. They are so fashioned
that they can be adjusted even when
the horse or mule is without harness,
and for this reason it is believed
they will save the lives of many on
'^y- the picket line.
Gen. Crowder has estimated that
probably three-quaurters of a million
men will be added to the American
>V> Army by the new registration. His
estimate is based on the fact that almost
10,000,d00 men registered last
EK >V
year. This number included all between
the ages of 21 and 31, and
.statistics collected by Gen. Crowder's
office show that a little more
than 10 per cent, of these men wert
|?'.' 21 years old. On that basis it is
estimated by draft officials that th?
total registration will exceed 1,000,000,
of which 750,000 will be available
for military service. This makes
proper allowances for physical de
fectives, exemptions because of deV
pendents, and other bars to militarj
service.

France, May 31.?During a series
of air fights this morning over the
J front northwest of Toul, American
I aviators shot down a German machine
which fell well within .our

t known what American airmen gained
the victory.
A recent report of the woman's
- section of the State Council of Dei
fense had the following:
i Keep the Teachers in the Schools
Many graduates of Winthrop Col.
lege who have taught only for one
- year have entered the business
i world and have good government
t positions in Washington. They take
tnese positions instead ot teacning
; because their salaries are double
j that of the teachers. If South Caro
lina would keep the most efficient
teachers she will have to increase
the salaries of teachers in high
schools and grammar schools,

all of the 300,000 will be taken
from class 1-A.
