Special to Times-Republican.
Grinnell, June 1s.-Drowned within
arms length Of his friends, who We're
powerless to aid him. was the tragic
fate which befell Robert Coffee. well
known farmer, who was caught under
an overturned automobile near kellogg
Sunday. In the car with Mr.. Coffee
were Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Freeze, who
reside near Laurel. Both were thrown
clear of the car, but both were Sc
riously injured. Mrs. Freeze suffering
several fractured ribs and internal in
juries while Mr.. Freeze was terribly
bruised and cut.
The party was en- route to Kellogg
to spend the Sunday with friends.
When two miles north of that place
the Freeze car, driven by Mr.. Freeze,
turned out on a grade to permit an
other car to pass. He failed to slow
down his engine and the soft earth of
the grade failed to hold, permitting the
car to slip over the edge and overturH
in a ditch. Mr.. and Mrs. Freeze were
hurled a distance into a field. but Mr..
Coffee remained in the whiriing car
and was caught underneath it when 1t
landed in a ditch which contained
about an inch of water. The body OF
the car damned up the small stream
of water, which slowly backed up over
Mr.. Coffee's face and drowned him be-
fore onlookers could rescue him. Mr..
Coffee was only slightly injured. but
the car held him fast in the mud on
his back. He noticed the water slowly
rising about him and begged half
dozen persons who had come to the
rescue 20 either raise the car or dig an
outlet for the water.
Superhuman efforts were employed.
but the overturned car could not be
budged. Neither could the rescuers
make an outlet for the water. In less
than twenty minutes the water had
backed over Mr.. Coffee's face and he
was dead when the car was finally
righted.

Second Offering Of Liberty Bonds Is
Due About Middle Of July.

Chicago June 1s-It can be stated on
exceedingly high banking authority
and from a source in close touch with
the treasury officials at Washington
that the next instaliment Of liberty ioar
to be subscribed for will be 100000,
900. carrying the conversion feature
and the exemption from taxation, pro-
vided for in the bonds just sold.
This next issue will bear 4 per cen,
interest and will be offered to the pub
lie about the middle Of July. the sub
scription books remaining open proba-
bly, until September 1.
Naturally this would permit Of the
conversion Of the 3Ia per cent bonds
just subscribed into per cent bonds
1t is expected that all bonds issued
under the $4,000, 5000 authorization
will carry the tax exemption and the
convertible features of the first install
ment.
The success Of the first installment
leaves no doubt that the $1,000, 000, 00C
Of new bonds will be taken readily by
investors.

London, June s.-There are two hos
pitfalls in England where the sick and
wounded from the American army will
feel as much at home as in their native

majority of their visitors. The institu-
lions are the American Women's Hos

LIKE EARTHQUAKE
Entire German Line Disap-
peared in Belching Chasm.
Report Explosive Used in Bat
tie Mine Was "AminOl."

London, June S.-4:20 a. Nall
the special correspondents at the front
in their descriptions of the Messines
battle, feature the tremendous ex-
plosion of mines which preceded the
British advance.
1.-The earth opened and the German
line disappeared" is one terse descrip
ton.
Every writer likens the effect on
the surrounding country to an earth
quake. One says that the hill on
which he stood shook like jelly. An
other who says the explosive used was
aminol, writes:
I'VE saw what might have been the
doors thrown open in front of a num-
Der of colossal blast furnaces. They
appeared in pairs, in threes and sue
ceSsive singles, and with each blast
the earth shook and shivered beneath
our feet"
1T is worse than an earthquake"
says some one who had known one of
the worst earthquakes. Clouds of
smoke rose in solid form to immense
heights from Hill 60, from Wytschaete
wood and other places and while our
eyes were full of spectacle, a thousand
guns opened fire.
THE air shook as the earth shook
and where earth and air met incredible
explosions seemed to rend the earth
until we appeared part of some
cosmic revolution.
I'VE saw familiar landscapes, al
ready ploughed and narrowed by the
war, vanish or assume grotesque
shapes. Hill 60 went up in fine dirt"
The correspondents agree in antici-
pating desperate counter attacks. They
forces and intimate that the battle has
OnlV begun.

v0LUNTEERSIN KANSAS
Chairman Keene, Defense Council,
Urges Legislature to Aid

Volunteer service by Kansans for
places in the regular army, navy and
national guards was urged today in
letter which A. NJ. Keene of Fort
Scott, speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives, directed to legislative mem
eers. Keene is chairman state de-
Tense council committee in charge of
recruiting for volunteer service.
Keene urged legislative members to
get behind the volunteer enlistment
movement. He urges that advantages
exist in favor of the volunteer soldier
as over the conscript. The volunteer,
he points out, may select the service
which he desires to enter. while the
conscript is placed where the govern
ment wants and needs him. Thru
organization by legislative members,
Keene states, Kansans may send an
unusually heavy representation into
the regular army, navy and national
guards
kansas can furnish her full quota
of soldiers and sailors required thru
enlistment at this time" says the
Keene letter, land thereby make Sc
lection unnecessary under CONSUMPTION,
and it would be a great record for
Kansas to furnish her full quota of
men thru volunteer enlistment"

NO POLITICAL POWER
;. l.. Pinet Tells Normal Glass Lack
of Influence in Kansas.

Emporia, Kan, June S.-The 49,
600 teachers of Kansas have less po-
itical power than the coal miners or
the BARRIERS of the state. The teachers
are not members of a craft or a pro-
feSsion. These charges against teach
ers were presented to 1900 students
of the Kansas State Normal school to-
day in an address by F. L. Pinet of
Topeka. Mr.. Pinet is secretary of the
State Teachers association and editor
of the Kansas Teacher.
The lack of political power and pro-
fessional standing is attributed, by Mr..
Pinet, to the personal ambition and
jealousy of the teacher as an indiyid-
ual. The individual interest must give
way to the group interest and a code
of ethics be adopted if teachers are to
have professional standing Without
such organization the teacher need
not hope for political recognition.
Teachers are hired to Law founda-
tons on which future careers are
built. This fact, coupled with the
training required for their work. en-
titles them to political recognition and
professional standing, according to
Mr.. Pinet.

DRAFT, MINIMUM DUTY
Being Passed by Consumption No Bar
to Serving Country, Says L. II.

New York, June S.-Being passed
over by the selective draft does not
absolve a man from the duty of per-
sistently offering his services to his
country in whatever way they can best
be used, Col. Theodore Roosevelt de-
clared before the American Medical
association convention here. Failure
to do so means unfitness to be a citi-
zen, he declared.
Some men talk as if their duty
would be fully performed if they
served when drafted" Colonel Roose-
welt said. This is a great error.
Service under the draft merely repre-
sents minimum duty. You should
strive to render far more than mini
mum service. Many men of no special
aptitude will not be able to render
service unless they are drafted. There
fore, the drafted man who does his
duty stands on a full level of honor
with the man who volunteers.
But the man who is not drafted
does not stand on a level with his
drafted brother unless he eagerly and
persistently seeks the opportunity to
volunteer wherever he can do useful
service"

BREAK WITH GERMANY
Haitien Representative at Berlin Is
Handed His Passports.

Amsterdam, June S.-The Haitien
charge d'affaires at Berlin has been
handed his passports, according to a
dispatch from the German capital. The
Haitien diplomat had previously hand
ed to Foreign Secretary Zimmerman a
note protesting against unrestricted
submarine warfare and demanding
compensation for losses caused to
Haitien commerce and life. The note
also asked for guarantee for the flu
ture. A statement issued by the Ber-
lin foreign office in regard to the in
cident says:
LAS the demands were couched in
an unusual form and demanded full
fillment within a period which would
not allow even time for examination,
the imperial government deemed it
proper to hand at once the charge
d'affaires his passports
