AUTO TRIES TO RUN OVER /. C.
FREIGHT-GOES TO HOSPITAL

A little Ford, occupied by four men,
dashed madly down South Main
street between four and five o'clock
Sunday morning. Where it had been
or its destination is unknown.
When opposite the residence OF
Capt. G. Moore, the occupants seemed
to have awakened to the fact that
death lurked a short distance ahead.
They threw on the brake, but the car
was going so fast it skidded about
seventy-tive feet and came to the rail-
road crossing just in time to strike
the big engine pulling train of coal
from one of the West Frankfort
mines.
However, just before striking the
engine, the steering wheel was turned
toward the right and when the car
struck the train the driving rod on
the engine struck the car in such a
way that it was forced into the house
occupied by Flagman Williams. The
entire east end of the house was re-
duced to kindling wood and it is said
the little Ford had all Of the joy taken
out Of it.
That no one was killed is miracle,
and this should be a lesson to other
auto parties who cross this deadly
crossing. Although there is a flag
man on the crossing during the day,
automobiles pay very little atten-
tion to his warning and seem to take
a delight in flirting with death. Auto
mobiles should be forced to stop here
whether train is in sight or not and
then there would be no danger of any
ones getting killed.
The Illinois Central has repeatedly
warned people to stop at all danger
Gus crossings as the automobiles can
do this easier than the trains, and it is
also stated that it is useless to try
and knock the train off the track, es-
pecially with little Fords.
We have beeen unable to obtain the
names Of those who were in the car

THE PEOPLE HAVE ANSWERED

The American people have made
their second answer to their country's
call. The first answer was made on
June 5, when 100000 American cit
liens between the ages Of II and 81
years registered themselves for ma
tional service. This answer, though
required by law, was made with a
spirit and willingness that robbed the
registration Of any faint of compul-
sion or servitude.
The second answer from the people
was registered finally on June Is, and
the answer completed that day was
entirely voluntary. More than 3,000,-
600 American citizens voluntarily
subscribed their money to support the
United States in the war This they
did, not Historically, not in spirit of
war fever, but calmly and in the exer-
else of judgment and reason.
1t is true that the subscribers to the
Liberty loan of 1917 get full value for
their contribution, but the immense
number Of small bonds bought shows
that it was not the wealthy alone of
the nation that supported the Liberty
loan. 1t shows that it was not the
investing public Of America alone
that bought the bonds. 1t shows that
the American people subscribed the
loan, and that, while many wealthy
citizens invested millions in the bonds,
great may more American citizens
of small means FASTENED to do their
part.
More than this, the lists Of sub
scribers show that many citizens of
very small means, perhaps with no
capital and no great earning capacity,
were willing to stint themselves in
order to purchase a Liberty loan bond
and have a share in the financial sup
port of their country in time of war.
The result of the Liberty loan bond
sale is an inspiration to every Ameri-
can. It has proved the patriotism of
the body polite. 1t has shown that
behind the fighting men Of the nation
is the money Of the people; that be-
hind the man power of the nation
stand the unreasonable finances and
material resources of America.
The Liberty loan of 1917 is new
tie between the government and the
people of the United States. Every
holder Of a Liberty loan bond feels
more Of an American citizen, and
along with a sense of duty done and
service performed feels an individual
interest in the government.
Each has certificate Of citizenship
and something that might be compared
to share Of stock in the American
Germany has been answered and
the reply is entirely satisfactory to all
who love America. There is no mis-
taking its volume or tone. 1t reaches
across the seas and no censorship can
rob it of its significance and strength.

Council Bluffs, July So.-With plans
for the permanent embalming of any
American soldiers who may give ur
their lives in France, to the end that
their bodies may be brought back home
at the close Of the war and be given
burial service in the home cemeteries
at the side Of the bodies Of other mem
bers of the same families the Amer
lean Purple Cross Association has beer
formed among the undertakers of the
country, and has been given official
recognition by the federal government
The organization is along much the
same lines as the American Red Cross,
and is designed to afford proper burial
for the men who are killed in action or
Gle from wounds or diseases in a for
eign land, as the Red Cross is de-
signed to relieve the sufferings of the
wounded and sick. A force of UNDER
takers. especially trained and drilled In
the obliteration Of marks from wounds,
the restoration of missing parts, the
removal of disfigurements. and similar
matters, Is to be sent abroad with the
troops.
e. F. Woodring has become much in :
terested in the new undertakers' or
ganization, and is planning on getting
more closely in touch with the move
ment by writing to Howard E. Eckels.

to learn in just what way he can be

ment.
The proffer OF the Purple Cross aid
to the government in caring for the
bodies Of men who fall in France or
other foreign countries was made
thru the adjutant general Of the army
at Washington. who conferred with the
secretary of war and then notified the
Purple Cross officials that force of
mortuary specialists should be adopt
cd for service in the quartermaster's
corps. Details Of the plan are not yet
available.
Much more complete embalming will
have to be, ,practiced than Is the case
in ordinary deaths IN this country,
where the bodies usually are to be
kept but few days until the funeral
as probably many Of the bodies will
not be returned to this country until
the close Of the war, according to the
present plans.

mated in Pennsylvania. where many OF
the high officials Of the association re-
side and it's purpose has been formally
commended by the Pennsylvania legis-
!ature, as we'll as by many public men
