Theodore Jensen barely escaped
death in an auto accident on Lake
street, Minneapolis, last Saturday
evening. He was driving into the
city 10 bring home Mrs. Jensen,
who had been in a hospital there.
AS he was about to drive over
railway crossing the gate rails were
dropped, and his car crashed into
them. The rails struck the car just
above the dash, carrying away the
windshield and the steering wheel
and. lifting Mr.. Jensen out over the
rear of the tonneau. He had thrown
the gear into neutral and had par
TALLY applied the emergency brake,
but the car continued on until it
struck the engine of the train for
which the gates had been lowered.
The train was moving very slowly
and the car merely struck the side
of the engine and bounded back
without further injury. Mr.. Jensen
carries a general assortment of black
and blue bruise spots and has 3
broken ribs as a reminder Of his
part in the accident.

COAL FAMINE
Drives the Danes to- Develop
ment of Veins in Greenland.
Though Coal is Inferior.

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 27-The
Danish government is taking steps
to mine coal in Greenland more in
tensfvely. This is due to the fact
that 1t Is difficult now to buy English
coal in Denmark. The coal famine,
in fact, is so serious here that the
government is planning to relieve
the situation in part by cutting wood
from the government forests. Steps
are also being taken to increase the
production of peat.
Coal has heretofore been mined in
Greenland only in an experimental
way, but the deposits there. In the
opinion of experts, are very extern
sive. The heating qualities Of
Greenland coal, however, are not re-
garded as equal to the English yarf-
ETY..
The government is also taking a
new interest in the copper mines Of
this far northern colony, thinking
that the mines are capable Of more
extensive development which would
be profitable at the present time.

YOUNG Beers
Are in South African Contin-.
gent Of The British Military
Forces in the War.

LONDON, Oct. 27-In the ranks
o: the South African contingent. now
in training camp in Hertfordshire,
there are more men who have relin-
pushed large salaries to serve the
mother country at shilling day
than In any other command OF the
size in the imperial army. One prl-
vate before his enlistment drew a
salary Of over $4,000 year as
manager of one Of the important
firms in the South African colony.
Magistrates, well-to-do farmers and
miners, civil servants of high posi-
tion and even metr who fought as Of
ficers in the campaign under Botha
against German Southwest Africa
but had no commissions open to them
in the new contingent, are in the
ranks.
The South African contingent is
filed with young Beers, as well as
colonials whose British parents were
pioneers Id that country. Its motto
Maakt Afatch-unioni
makes Strengths Dutch.
Cold weather affected the troops
at first, after their work in the burn
ing deserts of German Africa. but
with warm clothing they rather pre-
fer It, as they enjoy sharper appe-
tites.
The contingent will be sent to the
front as soon as acclipatized.

the danger of being dragged into an
tgnominious war, because Germany,
having consulted its own interests,

our government had taken in the

There has been no such humilia-

American prestige has been lowered
