ELDERLY LADY HURT
IN AUTO COLLISION
Cars Driven by 8. r. Atkinson and
Albert Reeves Collide In Cary
Street Road.

Claiming that he was exceeding the
speed limit and driving his automo-
bile in q careless mapner, Albert

The two cars coilided on Cary-street
road near the Country club about $50
o'clock yesterday evening. Mr..
Reeves. with eleven passengers
aboard. mostly children. was pro-
ceeding ieisurely, he said last night,
going not over ten miles an hour,
when the car driven by Mr.. Atkinson
hove In sight, coming toward the city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Atkinson were tho only
occupants of that car. The oncom-

Tue Mailing Of a Soldier of
the Seas.
BY RICHARD BOECKEL.

Marine Corps Cantonment, Nov.
11.-,Although r. Is asserted by their
officers that the men of the marine
corps know exa civ why the United
States Is In the war and what this
country hopes to get out of II, there
is rauinrka bly, little war talk among
the men In training hNre.
Gerpiany's peace balloons have had
absolutely no effect. The marines
neither hope for nor expect an early
peace. Once In a willie some enlist
ed man will cypress the hope that
peace will be held off long enough to
permit him to get into the fight, but
that is practically the only time the
word peace is evsr spoken.
The kaiser's peace propaganda
hasn't got acrosr' Perhaps. because
the men seldom have a chance to read
the newspapers. When they como
back to camp after Il hard days drill
in the open there usually In some
washing to be DOM. and after that the
men prefer the light reading OF popu-
lar magazines to the news carried in
papers arriving twsnty-four hours
late.
The men realize that certain pro-
portion OF thoss going to France VIII
never come hack to this country, but
C6IT Hft1u dSSPIS believes ttlHI ne VIII

III don't. what difference? You
have to get 1t som. time. And I don't
know as I wouldn't just as soon be
planted In France an here. You cnn
go to sleep there with a lot more
honor, I figure"
That sums up the attitude of the
typical marine toward the risk of
death. Among the officers there is a
deeper realization of the danger tina
in the ranks of the enlisted men.
American officers will not hang back
while their men do the fighting how
ever. Reports that German officers
become 'fndisposed'' and have to be
taken behind the lines when an at
tack Is ordered has stirred disdain
among American officers fer the fight i
ing men they formerly admired.
Marine officers will he satisfied with
no peace without victory" They be-
iievs the military machine OF the cen
trail powers must be smashed before
peace can come. All but TIE young
err officers, who never have seen ac-
tual warfare, hope that the coilapse
OF GerrIany's military power will come
soon. They have no Illusions about
war. They know Its horrors, and. al
though they hope to see some active
fighting. at the same time an early
peace with complete victory" will be
very welcome TO them.

first draft. according to the view In Of
fetal circles today, The exact date has
not yet been decided upon, but indi-
cations were that the call will be made
about March 10. This viii permit of
an additional fifteen days over the De-
Rod of sixty sh,ys allotted by Presi-
dent Wilson Tor the work OF classify
ing the 5000 900.
On that Gate also. It was pointed
out. a large percentage OF the men
now in the training camps will have
completed FIVE months of their course
and practically all will have gone
through the minimum of sixteen weeks
Of intensive training These men will
then be in a position to be sent abroad
for the finishing touches to their train
ing, making room in the sixteen can
tonments for the increments which
would come in under the SECOND draft.
Although 1t has not been definitely
decided yet. according to Secretary
Baker, II would not be surprising 4
instead of calling out the entire $780,
900 conscripts available under the
present law, the government ordered
them to the colors in increments of
Atty thousand up. This would per-
init the ref1lling OF camps gradually
as men were drawn from them to be
sent overseas.
