SAILORS
On British Merchant Ships, as a
Rule, Have Seen Service
at the Front.

NEW YORK. Nov. 4.-Brit!sh merch-
ant ships entering and leaving the
port Of New York are being manned
almost entirely by Englishmen who
have already served In war and have
been honorably discharged. according
to the Ship-visiting report Of the
American Seamen's Friend Society.
This report, which was made public
today by DR.. George Sidney Webster
secretary shows that in four months
the ship-visiting stan Of the society
was in personal touch with pract-
cally 1900 sailors attached TO eighty
one different ships representing twelve
steamship lines.
Although very large number Of
the sailors IN port are English sub
jects, there are also a great many
from other lands. These men. accord
mG to the report, are largely eTtnef
deserters from military service OF
are avoiding service by coming TO this
country. Many Of these men are
Greeks, who contract for return voy-
age to British ports and desert their
ship on this side without pay. This
according to Dr. Webster. is one rea-
SON for the noticeable shortage In the
supply Of seamen which many ships
haze suffered from when preparing foE
the return trip.

From Auto Mishap

Three ladies, two babies. one IL

narrow escape from death in an au-
tomobile accident which occurred 8
miles from Bogalusa on the Column
bia road last Wednesday afternoon.
when the car turned over twice and
pinned the occupants under the Car.
The party were returning from St.
Helena Parish, where they attended
a funeral, Those in the party were
Mesdames. T. G. McClendon, O. P.

of the ladies who was formerly To-
Gated in Bogalusa but now of Ram.
sew. and W, c. Reiline, owner of a
public car from Covington and a IL
year old boy who accompanied him
on the trip. Just what caused the
accident has not been learned as
nothing was found wrong with the
car, nor did it run into a ditch or
down an embankment. The driver
who had been continuously at the
steering wheel for many hours may
have fallen asleep but he said that
he did not. All were taken to the
Boealusa Hospital, where their in
! juries were dressed.
Mrs. O'Neil was the most serious
ly injured of the entire party. She
sustained a fractured collar bone. a
broken nose. bad decorations about
the eye, face and neck. While her
injuries are very serious. they are
not considered fatal and she will
recover in a few weeks.
Reiling sustained a badly lacerat-
ed face and neck and injuries in the
back. The entire right side of his
face was almost one laceration and
the left side was somewhat marked
and badly swollen. He was able to
leave the hospital Thursday. Felix
Dawson sustained a lacerated leg
and several minor scratches on the
body, and Mrs. Penton and the two
children received a few bruises and
were badly shaken up, while the IL
year old boy was not injured. Reil-
ing was unconscious for several
minutes.

Roads Need Attention

Washington Parish roads are not
the only ones that require attention
in this section. The road to Pop.
larville, across Pearl river is in a
very bad condition and the ap-
proach to both sides of the river
are such that they might be con.
sidered dangerous. If Washington
Parish would fix the road to the
river perhaps the Pearl River Off,
Gals would place the swamp in
good condition.
