Minutes After First Oc
cupant Leaves
TPIctures of the launching of the
Qulstconck at Hog Island are printed
on page 20 of thl issue.
Hot? Island's pioneer ship the
freighter Qulstconck was launched
at 12:36 o'clock this afternoon.
Mrs Woodrow Wilson, wife of the
President of the United States, was
the sponsor.
At' Mrs. Wilson's elbow, when she
smashed with a vigorous blow tho
wlcker-covercd bottle of champagne
ncross the bow of the 'gt eat vessel,
stood President Wilson.
Behind her, nil smiles, was Charles
M. Schwab, director general of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation and the
"nation's shipbuilders." To Mr.
Schwab's right was Edward N. Hurley,
chairman of the United States ship
ping board.
Behind the platform and scattered
for a half mile on either side of the
launching platform was a throng of
shouting, cheering, patriotic Amerl
cahs estimated at 30,000 strong. It
was typically an American crowd that
had stood for several hours In the
glare of a hot. blazing sun, patient, but
anxious to Join In giving vent to its
patriotism.
It was the largest throng that had
ever witnessed a launching anywhere
in the country.
The great ship slid irom the ways
gracefully. There -wasn't vn' mishap,
of any sdrt. It glided into the waters
of, the Delaware and settled Itself
easily. Several tugs pulled up along
side tho big hull and In ft few minutes
after It reached the water It had been
towed Into one of Hog Island's great
docks, where the engines, boilers and
finishing will be put Into it and the
Qulnstconck will soon become one of
the great American fleet of cargo
steamships that will do much to end
the war.v
Lay New Keel in Cradle
The Qulstconck had not gone more
than 100 feet away from he launching
cradle on Its way down into the Dela
ware, when workmen lowered care
fully over tho big -wooden structure
tho first otppl nlatea that marked the
laying of another keel the thirty-
ninth In the great Tlog Island fleet.
In about nlno minutes the new keel
had been laid on the same way In
which the Qulstconck had been built.
Aside from the heat It was an Ideal
"launching day." The sun's rays lit
erally burned up the great throng and
at fuequeht Intervals the inbulances
stationed at the yard could "be seen
hurrying through the yard to "pick
up a heat victim and rush back with
him to the first aid station established
at the great yards.
Out In the Delaware River were
dozens of steamboats and tugs and
barges crowded with sightseers and
decoratedfwlth the Hags of tne Allies
Overhead.' high In tho air, sailed bat
tleplanes and seaplanes, manned by
aviators from the Philadelphia Navy
Yard, at League Island.
It was altogether a typical Amer
lean launching at a typically Amer
ican shipyard -the greatest In the
world and witnessed by a typically
American throng.
A deafening cheer went up as the
hull started to move elx minutes after
the presidential party had arrived
from Washington.
A single blast from a nearby whistle
a shout from a voice on the ship
this .was the signal that started the
7500-ton cargo carrier down the ways
on Its plunge Into the water.
Mrs. Wilsonf her arm upraised, her
hand clutching a bottle of champagne,
heard the 'signal and her arm de
scended.' A second later the wicker-covered
bottfe crashed against the ship's bow
and a foaming spray of champagne
leaped Into the aid.
"I CHRISTEN THEE QL'IST
CONCK," said Mrs. WJlson, as the hull
glided away.
Demonstration Thrills President
There was another deafening roar
from the vast crowd, which crowded
about the shlpway. Whistles on river
boats shrilly cried out their approval.
Mills and factories on the land echoed
,thelr'approval with a prolonged din.
Even the President, literally carried
away by the magnitude of the demon
stration, Joined In the enthusiasm.
Turning tor Mrs. Wilson, he said:
"Isn't it wonderful?"
The presidential party arrived at
Hpg Island at 12:30 o'clock this aft
ernoon. Thirty-five minutes later the
Qulstconck was In the Delaware and
the special train carrying the party
back to Washington left Hog Island.
In the great assemblage witnessing
the launching were oftlclals of ,all

Wnolilnicton, Aug 5
September 5 next will be registration
day for more than 13,000.000 Americans
between eighteen and twenty-one and
thirty-two and forty-five, If Congress
heeds the urgent plea of Provost Mar
shal General Crowder.
Leaders are getting plans under way
for speedy passage of the new man
power bills Introduced today In the
House and Senate. Crowder's warning
that registration should not be delayed
beyond September 5 If the calls for
October, November and December are
to bo met out of Clasl, caused House
and Senate leaders to consider recon
vening both houses next Monday to be
gin work on the bill.
Under tho enlarged age limit tho
provost marshal general estimates that
2,398.845 more men, available for fight
ing service, will bo obtained. These
figured were contained In a report
drawn by Crowder and submitted to the
Senate today by Chamberlain.

150,000 men required for each of the

ANNIVERSARY MESSAGE
London, Aug. 5
"Hold fast!"
This Is the keynote and the spirit of
the message which Premier Lloyd
George today sent to the people of the
British Empire on the occasion of the

Into the war.
The message follows:
"The message which I send to trie
people of the British Empire on the
fourth anniversary of their entry Into
the war Is 'hold fast!'
"We are In this war for no selfish
ends. We are In It to recover freedom
for nations whloh have been brutally
attacked and despoiled and to proe
that no people, however powerful, can
surrender Itself to lawless ambitions of
militarism without meeting retribution,

"To stop short of victory for this

tho Virginia coast, and thirty survi
vors of the vessel's crew have been
brought to Norfollk by a naval ves
sel, the Navy Department was today
Informed. Tho captain nnd one boat

Wireless calls from the steamer
saying that she was being shelled
a submarine were received yesterday
between 11 o'clock and noon. Naval
vessels were sent at once to the loca
tion Indicated, but arrived only In time
to pick up survivors, the vessel hav
ing gone down.
Sinking of the Jennings reveals the
presence of at least two German sub
marines on this side of the Atlantic.
The second raider has been operating
off tho coast of Nova Scotia and near
by waters for several days.
The Jennings, which was built in
1917, was of 7890 net tons and be

It Is evident now that the one ex

The Germans are being favored by
the weather conditions, which have
transformed the Vesle River banks.
Into swamps and morasses, and they
are making a stiffer stand here than
was expected.
The Allied pursuit of the Germano
continues, and latest reports are that '
only a few enemy troops remain south
of the River Vesle, says the Havas
Agency today, In reviewing the situa
tion. French patrols have crossed the
Vesle at Bazoches and Jonchery, west
and east of Flsmes, respectively.
Allied troops hold the entire south-
em bank of the Vesle between Flsmes
and Rhelms. Stubborn resistance was .
made by Prussian and Bavarian,
guards between Mulzon and Cham- "
plgny, but they were forced back suf
fering heavy losses. Both banks of
the Vesle now are under heavy artil
lery fire from the opposing armies.
Enemy Losses Heavy
The Germans, It Is believed, will try ,
to stop at an Intermediate position
between the Vesle nnd the Alsne. but im
probably will not attempt a definite )
hatt before the Alsne Is reached.
The enemv has suffered serious' .
