AUTO ACCIDENT NEAR
MESA VERDE PARK

from Mohuays durango Herald)
The first accident on the Mesa
Verde road occurred Saturday night
about z o'clock and resulted in two
men, Reese Forrest Of Wallace gulch.
and his brother-in-law, James Craig
of Cherry creek, sustaining injuries
that will probably cost them their
lives.
Mr.. Forrest, Mr.. Craig and the
formers little girl, child of IL, and
two other members Of their families
started for the park Saturday in the
Forrest machine, an old car. On the
way the condition of the car caused
frequent delays. After a time the
brake ceased to work and just as
they approached the head of Soda
canon the steering gear gave way.
The machine plunged into the side of
the hill, bounded back and was hurl-
ed over the edge on an embanlsment
where it turned over twice in its
downward flight.
Both Craig and Forrest suffered
broken ribs and probably internal in
jures. The little girl was so serious
ly hurt it was hours before she re-
gained consciousness. The other oc-
cupants of the car escaped without
injury.
The Charles Kelly garage car was
in the park at the time the accident
occurred. Rangers Jeep and Stavely
fastened to the scene, placed the in-
jured people in the machine and rush
ed them to Mancos for treatment.
Yesterday it became evident that
one Of Mr.. Craig's broken ribs aad
penetrated his lung, and his condition
was critical. This morning he show
ed no improvement.
About mid-forenoon today, Forests
condition took decided turn for the
worse and his recovery is doubtful.
The little girl is much better today.
Those who have visited the spot
where the accident occurred say tho
trouble was due wholly to the car ana
not the condition of the highway. It
was on downward slope on smooth
piece Of road.
Latest reports from Mancos this af :
ternoon are unfavorable. 1t appears
neither of the injured men has but
slight chances of recovery.
Reese Forrest has been a resident
of La Plata county for about 10
years. The greater part of the time
his home has been in Wallace gluch.
only few miles from bayfield,.
Thirteen years ago he married Miss
Ethel Craig. They have two child
ren, the little girl who was injured
and boy younger.
James Craig formerly resided fn
the Wallace gulch section. OF late
years the Mancos vicinity has been
his home. Two years ago his wife
passed away in Mercy hospital. He
has one child, little girl.
Mancos, 4;30 p. m.--Reese Forrest
is dying. Doctor says there is no
hope of his lasting out the night.
Craig has some chance to recover.

commerce; sought to embroil
us with Mexico and Japan, and
because these undertakings
failed, impudently warned us
off the seas on pain of death.
Conditions in Russia have
been more favorable to Ger
man propaganda of this kind,
and we see the results in open
defiance of authority, military
disaffection and industrial and
agrarian revolt. A Russian
democracy reduced to anarchy
and eventually self-slain would
lie a greater triumph for Prus-
sian autocracy than any of
which it boasts upon the bat
tlefield. America stood the
test. but we shall not know for
some time yet what the fate of
the newest republic is to be.
In spite of these treacheries.
which are only repetitions OF
our own recent experience,
there are Americans under
German influence who are
asking even now why we are at
war and what we hope to gain
by war. Belgium, Serbia and
Armenia have been forgotten.
The perfidious disregard of
treaties has been forgotten.
The massacres of the sea have
been forgotten. The lawless
challenge to us and to the
whole world forbidding for
eign commerce except upon
conditions denying national
sovereignty and right has been
forgotten. Militarism's broken
pledge, its diregard of every
human consideration that stood
in its way, its avowed purpose
to reduce the earth to subjec-
ton. enforcing its hideous con-
ceptions of Kultur especially
upon weak democracies-all
these have been forgotten by
every man foolish enough or
perverse enough to ask the
question which Potsdam and
its agents put into his mouth.
The ruling class in Germany
knows why we are at war and
what we expect to gain by war.
1t knows that it is an arch-of-
fender against civilization and
that as surely as we triumph it
is to be punished by the only
restraint it recognizes, which
is force. 1t knows that it is rum
ming amuck for the last time. 1t
knows that the peace to come
will be a Just and democratic
peace. and not the hateful
thing of terror, humiliation
and plunder going by the name
of a Prussian peace.

the principle of volunteer mill
tary service. 1t is a step tow
ard efficiency. Yet the fact
remains that we still derive
much good from volunteers. In
fact all the soldiers we have at
present, including the regular
army, national guard and the
navy, are in the service of their
own free will.
As we become more busi-
nesslike and thorough in the
recruiting of our armed forces
so should the country become
more efficient in other respects.
The hospital corps, with which
the Red Cross is affiliated,
should be maintained by taxa
ton. AS a branch of the SER
vice it is of stupendous import
ance. So much so that an army
without proper hospital and
nursing accommodations cam
not successfully face an oppos-
ing army we'll equipped in this
department. There should
never be any question as to the
adequacy of funds for the pur-
pose.
However, we are new in the
war and congress in many re-
Spects has fallen short of do
ing all that it should do. Con-
sequently the only course is for
loyal people to come to the aid
by subscribing to the Red
Cross fund and to other activi-
ties such as the army Y. M. C.
A. which also performs work
of real value to the soldiery.
As the richest farming
county in Oregon old Umatilla
should raise its $4,000
without batting an eye. 1t is
conservative to say that during
the last year our farmers and
woolmen easily reaped extra
profits of from one 20 two mil
lions of dollars because of the
high price of wheat and wool.
Surely with all this prosperity
they will gladly give to the
Red Cross fund.

Which board should be in power?
Did the mayor really adjourn the

At Presbyterian Church
Large Audience Hears
Pleasing Lecture.
HISTORY IS GLORIOUS
Since Earliest Times Syria
Has Been Famous;

The glories of Syria In the past and
the nations hopes for the future were
portrayed by the Syrian princess,
Rahme Hatder, at the Presbyterian
church last evening. The church was
filled to capacity. the people Of Mis-
ssonla showing big interest in the
land SO important in Bible history and
now so hard pressed by war.
Under the Syrian stars" was the
title of the lecture. The speaker re-
viewed the past of the country, nam
ing the great men who made history
during the days be-ore the power of
Rome was felt. She then took up the
country of today with it's oppression
'of the lower classes and the decay in
the, standards Of the people as a
whole, ending with a prophecy and a
prayer for the future of her native
lanu. The lecture was a mixture of
description, humor and narrative with
many facts regarding the nature of the
country's climate and the habits and
customs Of the people. She spoke of
Syria as small country with an in
finite variety of cilmuse ranging from
the frigid heights OF Lebanon to the
tropical valley of Pa;cstine. In ref
erence to the vegetation of the coun-
try she lnoted Humbolt, who said that
one-half of the flora specimens OF the
world could be found in Palestine.
