The first automobile accident in the
history of this village occurred last
Saturday evening when Ford car,
driven by Roy Hetrick, failed to respond
to the drivers control and left the road,
coliding with fence post. Fortunately
the car was but slightly damaged and
the occupants escaped unhurt.
The farmers meeting held in this
village last Saturday morning was very
well attended, considering the favorable
weather; which the farmers were
tempted to use in the pressing work on
the farm. There were about twenty
citizens present and were helpfully
entertained by the speakers. Messrs.
Silas Beachy, Perry Broadwater and
Dennis Brenneman were chosen as
delegates to attend country farmers
meeting, which will be held shortly.

 FL PASO, Nov. 14.-Tele- grams received here at S:30 tonight announce the cap- ture of Ojinaga, the Mexican border port opposite Presl- dio. Texas. Fighting has been in progress there all day between the forces Of Francisco Villa and the fed eral garrison under General Cordova. It is reported here that the Villa followers num- Der 5000 instead of the few hundred which the defenders of the town had expected. Unconfirmed reports here are to the effect that some of the Villa troops have crossed into Texas and that the commander of the El PasO district has been asked to send endorsements from here.
 Telegrams received here
 
 tonight say that Martin Lo- peg, Villas chief lieutenant, was executed by Villa for failure to obey orders and push home the first attack on Ojinaga this morning.

PRESIDENT WILSON WORKS TO PREVENT
 RAILROAD STRIKE
Republican A. p. Leased Wjre1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-Once again President Wilson has undertaken per sonally to prevent a general railroad strike. He has called the heads of the four great railroad brotherhoods to meet him in conference November 22 and will insist that patriotism be put ahead of private interest; that there be no attempt to handicap the operation of vital part of the nations war mak- ing machinery.
 The president is confident that noth- ing unpatriotic will be done but if the necessity arises he is prepared to take the required steps to prevent a tie-up of transportation.
 In announcing today the coming con- ference with the union chiefs, Judge William L. Chambers, chairman of the board of mediation and concfliation made public 8 letter from the president which said:
 Tt is inconveivable to be that patrio otic men should now for moment contemplate the interruption of trans portation which is so absolutely neces sary to the safety of the nation.
 The last thing 1 should wish to contem- plate would be the possibility of being obliged to take any unusual measures to operate the railways and I have so much confidence that the men you are dealing with will appreciate the patri- otic motives underlying your efforts that 1 shall look forward with assur- ance to your success"
 At the time of the threatened strike averted by the eight hour law last year 1t was understood that the government had developed plans for emergency operation of the railroads if that be- came necessary.
 President Wilson's letter was sent to Judge Chambers two weeks ago, be- fore the mediation board chairman left for Cleveland, Ohio, to confer with the union leaders It is understood the conferences held there were productive of substantial agreements. but that the engineers, conductors, trainment and firemen were unwilling to commit themselves internationally to arbitra- tion. although welcoming mediation.
 An adjustment at the White House conference next week Is hoped for which will dispose of the possibility of 8 strike at least for the duration of the war, either by an agreement to sub init the difficulties to an arbitration board whose findings would be binding or by postponing a wage contest until the enemy overseas has been defeated The Switchmens union of North America has agreed to arbitration and l it is understood the Order of Railroad | Photographers also is willing to put 1 their case in the hands of an impartia 1 f,.ihuoal

GOVERNMENT SOON ID HAVE CORNER
 0N J. $. SILVER
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1


 WASHINGTON, Nov. IA govern ment corner" on all silver produced in the United States within the next year is planned jointly by American and British officials to prevent the com petition of purchases by other foreign governments from raising prices to the point where coinage becomes unprofit able.
 Representatives of the two govern ments are conferring with leading sil yer producers, it was learned today, on proposed contracts under which the governments would virtually control the silver market for a year at a price somewhat lower than the prevailing rate of S6 cents an ounce.
 This plan does not contemplate the cutting off of supply to jewellers and other users of silver since the govern ments would use only part of the metal under contract for coinage and would release the balance for national indus trial purposes. One of the chief re- suits would be to place restrictions on the acquisition of silver by oriental countries, where a greatly enlarged demand for silver coins has been caused by commercial activities of the war.
 More than 74,000, ,000 ounces of silver were produced in the United States in 1916 and this years output promises to be greater. Director of the Mint Bakers report shows that the govern ment used 13,314,o00 ounces for con- age during the year ending June 30 and probably will use 2O,0o0,000 ounces this year.
 All hints now are working 24 hours . day, seven days week, to increase the output of change including one cent pieces for which war activities and war. taxes-have caused >a--strong zassznd-

Americans Exact Revenge

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Nov. 14.-(By the Associated infantrymen exacted part revenge for trench raid dur ing a recent night by ambushing a large German patrol in No Mans Land, killing or wounding a number of the enemy.
 The American patrol, in which there were some Frenchmen. arranged the ambuscade near the German lines on shell ruined farm.
 After lying in the mud nearly all night the patience of the watchers was rewarded by the sight of d large Ger man patrol. it's number more than dou- ble that of the Franco Americans.
 The Germans were permitted to pass, when the Americans and Frenchmen on their flank opened d hot fire from shell craters and other shelters where they were secreted.
 The Germans were taken completely by surprise and bolted, carrying with them their men who had been hit.
 The number of dead and wounded Germans is uncertain, but none of the men in ambush was hit by the bullets the Germans later sent in from d dis tance.
 There were congratulations all round when the Americans and French re- entered their trenches.
 Patrol work on both sides is becom- ing more active, as is also the artillery fire.
 The Germans during one 24-hour pe- riod of a recent day sent over at least three times as many shells as on the first days during which the Americans were entrenched. One night the firing in the back areas against the approach es of the communication trenches reached the proportions of drum fire. It was evident the Germans thought an American trench relief was taking place. As a matter of fact, no relief was in progress and no material dam age was done.

Fsderals EvaeuatesOj jinaga

PRESIDIO Tex, Nov. 14.-Federsi troops evacuated Ojinaga at S:S0 to- night and came to the American side where they surrendered their arms. General Juan Espinosa Y. Cordova, commander, surrendered to American troops in command of Capt. Theodore Barnes, Jr.. commander of American troops here. He said the fight was hand to hand before the evacuation. Villa troops now occupy rsse Mexican town. Many were killed, wounded and executed
 Most authentic reports place the strength of the Villa forces at fifteen hundred
 The fighting was confined to the streets of Ojinaga and in the municipal plaza since the attack opened at twi- light
 Being in position to leap at the de- lenders of the little cluster of adobe huts called a town, the Villa forces swept past the outposts like a wave of fire and charged down the streets and into the military headquarters.
 The rout started soon after 8 o'clock and by 80 the evacuation had become 8 mob seeking safety on the American side of the river
 The federal troops were rounded up by American patrols, disarmed and marched to the army camp where they were guarded. The Villa troops num- her 1000. according to the Mexican Commander
 Fighting between Villa and federal forces was resumed at 6:30, central time. tonight. just as the grey gauge of twilight settled over the mesa line along which the Villa soldiers were strung.
 The firing started from the federal \ first line trenches. guarding the Mula road to the southwest of the town. and was answered by Villa cavalry on the northwestern slope of the mesa upon which Ojinaga sits.
 Villa troops were seen moving in along the road in the hills and a gen. eral assault was expected. From the American side of the Rio Grande it was not possible to tell that a hand to hand engagement was in progress tonight and occasional tongues of flame from a Villa rifle mans piece, or the flashing signals of distress from the military headquar- ters in Ojinaga were the only evidence of the mortal combat going on with in the adobe walled streets.
 The fighting started from the south east with an assault in force from the slope or the nofthWestern approach. resulting in a successful storming ex- petition which penetrated to the very heart of the old town, the ancient church
 No accurate estimates can be made tonight of the number of government dead. It is admitted by government officials on this side that no quarter was given or asked on either side. ! One of the two Americans who were operating the machine guns in Ojinaga when the first attack was made this morning was wounded during the | fighting tonight and was later shot by

While the Italians continue to hold tenaciously to most of the new line along the Piave river from the Adri- atic sea to the region of Feltre and through the northern hills westward from Feltre to Lake Garda, they again have been compelled to give ground in both sectors to the Teutonic allied armies.
 Upon the shoulders of the Italians alone for several days must rest the security of the Piave line and of his toric Venice for the information has been vouchsafed by Major General Maurice, chief director of military operations at the British war office, that it will be some days yet before British and French fighting forces can be placed in the field to reinforce the Italians.
 Meanwhile the enemy is striving en- ergetically to force passages of the Piave at various points and has been successful in crossing the stream at Grisolera, some 20 miles northeast of Venice Here, however, the Teutons are being held by the defending forces from further gains.
 To the north, around Benson, where the stream was negotiated by the Aus tro Germans Tuesday, fighting is still in progress, with the Italians holding the upper hand but not yet having been able 10 drive the invaders to the east ern bank of the stream. Further north attempts to gain a roothold on the western bank of the Piave between Quero and F'enere were repulsed With heavy casualties.
 In the hilly region from Tezze on the Trentino front, eastward to Feltre. a distance of about 12 miles, the Italians have fallen back before the enemy, who also has gained additional want age points on the Asiaso plateau and the Sette Comuni. On the western bank of Lake Garda the Austro-Ger- mans attempted to push forward southward but were held by the Italians.
 On the western front in France and Belgium the situation remains normal l, with only heavy bombardments and minor infantry operations in progress on various sectors.
 The British drive against the Turks both along the Tigris river and in Palestine continues successful. The Ottoman forces have withdrawn their line from 30 to 50 miles north of Tekrit, placing them virtually 150 miles north west of Bagdad on the Tigris. In Pal estine the Turks have been forced back an additional seven miles. It is reported that they have lost half their effectives in men killed, wounded or made prisoner since the operation began.
 A British torpedo boat destroyer and small monitor have been sunk by an enemy submarine while operating in conjuction with the Palestine column. Thirty three men from the two vessels are missing.
