THE sELEcTMEN.

| The first five per cent of Americas draft army
was sent to the receiving lines a fortnight ago.
This week a second contingent of 40 per cent of
| the whole number drafted will leave home sta
lions for various concentration points, and as rap
idly facilities for their reception and training
can be prepared the remaining SIS per cent will
follow.
The United States already has more than mil
lion men under arms. These are in the Regular
Army and Navy, the Marine Corps and the National
Guard All are volunteers.
But there is something peculiarly appealing in
The muster of this other fighting force. There will
be nearly three-quarters of million of them when
all having assembled, and they will be from the
very flower of young American manhood. "Rich
and poor, high and low"-college and university
graduates well those who have enjoyed no
higher educational advantages than afforded by
continent well those whose lives have been
spent in the rural communities where they were
born; young men whose parents natives of this
country and others who are but one generation
removed from foreign lands young men from the
cities and the farms, from mines and from Shops
all the professions and all the trades; soft-musled
clerks from department stores and herculean toll
ers from blacksmith shops, and all together rep
resenting every state in the union-they make or
will make when gathered together, wonderful
body of men, and America will have every rea
son to be proud Of
They selected men-selected because they
fittest, and that they will make as fine sol
diers as there in the world nobody doubts no;
even the scoffing Germans Herald.

(Contihued from Page One) into the second car. The telescopine of the cars was of such, force and character that all those within the sleeper were made prisoners. The train crew and the uninjured passen- gers were unable to reach them to give aid The wreck blocked tracks Nos and and caused a shutdown of traffic for several hours.
 All of those killed were in the sleep ing car which was telescOped. ; An official of the Pennsylvania rail- road here said the list of dead may exceed 20 ,as IA bodies have been re- covered and at least six are known to eb dead in the wreck.
 At this time the railroad company is inclined to place the blame for the wreck on the engineer of the freight, A. T. Cook, of Harrisburg, who had leg crushed. It was his duty, said an official, to get off his engine, walk ahead and look at a signal in case of fog, rather than run past it.

Coroner Hears Story
 of Kiss That Caused
 Fatal Cutting Affray

 The story of the kiss which resulted in the murder ofSKostos PavoIakis in a boarding house at GOA Main street last Saturday night was related to coroner Phelan this morning by Mrs. Vasile Vasilake, wife of the man who is alleged to have done the killing. s
 She said there was trouble when her husband accused the boarder of having kissed her. They grappled and although she tried to separate them she was hurled aside Mrs. Vas flake said she did not see the thrust of the knife. She thinks her husband must have reached over her shoulder to reach Pavolakis.
 Stelios Topoliankis another boarder. said he saw Vasilake running down. stairs after the crime. The accused was covered with blood and had a blood stained knife in his hand. Tho coroner continued the inquest until this afternoon when several other wit nesses are to be heard The police are still looking for Vasilake.

OBSERVANCE. OF
 SUNDAY CLOSING TO BE. GENERAL
Hungarian Business Mems Association Plans Changes
 In West End

Observance of the Sunday closing ordinance, which is the preliminary step in the city-wide closing of all grocery store, meat markets and dry goods emporiums was announced from an unexpected source this morning.
 The Hungarian Business Mems asso- citation, a newly formed organization of the commercial interests of the West End, made public the fact that every store in the Hungarian districts would be closed beginning Sunday, March 4. x Never in the history of the section have stores been closed in the Hun garian district Sundays. Even the dry goods and notion stores of the section were wide open, employing during the day more than 200 persons. Because of the peculiar customs of the resi- dents of that section no attempt had been made by the authorities of Bridgeport to enforce the ordinance.
 With the establishment of the Hungarian Business Mems association whose officers and representative busi- ness men of the section, President John Dezso, Vice President Paul Briener,, Treasurer Frank Bolchazy and Secretary Ernest Szlahoczky or dered their cornsel, Ernest Berger, to explain the law to the storekeepers and to obtain agreements to remain closed on Sundays hereafter.
 It has been agreed that on the first and second Sundays the stores will remain open only half day and thenceworth keep entirely closed. The forward step thus taken by the Hun garian citizens of Bridgeport will un- doubtedly find close followers the entire city with the ultimate result that Bridgeport will be a fully "cloSed" town Sundays.
