could not extricate himself.
At least II was one of Maryland's
highways that was responsible for this
embarrassing predicament of the ma
tons chief executive. And to be more
specific it was the Belair road near
Putty Hill that was the scene Of the
presidents awkward plight
President Wilson, after strenuous

cares of office and, accompanied Dy
Mrs. Wilson and several secret service
men. motored out thru the suburbs OF
Washington and iater entered Mary
land the other day They followed a
circuitous route until the chauffeur
struck the Belair road and the ma
chine proceeded up the highway to-
ward Putty Hill. The distance COW
cred was sufficient for the president
and Mrs Wilson and the chauffeur
was requested to turn the machine
around and proceed toward Washing
ton. And here is where the trouble
began. The cara large limousine
backed off the smooth highway onto a
soggy piece Of ground covered with
grass which concealed its real nature.
Instantly the wheels sank down until
the body touched the ground. All
available power was applied, butt the
wheels could not be moved.
The chauffeur, accompanied by the

aid farmer, with a two-mule team,
happened along at the time and mule

smiled as the machine remained Sc
curely in the mud. But the chauffeur
was not to be outdone. Dismissins
the farmer and his mules, he thot of
other means.
The farmer and his team had no
more than got out of sight before a
Baltimorean who owns five-ton

MONUMENT TO CRAWFORD.

Connellsville, Pa., July 4.-A bronze statue of Colonel William Crawford, pioneer citizen of Connellsville, who was burned at the stake by the Della ware Indians near Sandsky, in 1782, was unveiled here today with impress i've exercises, The statue, which was designated by C. s. Fitzpatrick, has been erected on the lawn of the Car negie library. The oration at the un- yelling was delivered by Dr. George P. Donehoo, secretary of the State Historical commission.
 Colonel Crawford was a native of Virginia and an intimate friend of George Washington. After serving in the Pontiac war in 1763-4 he took up his home in Connellsville. He was an efficient officer in Dunmore's cam paign against the Indians and served during the entire period of the Revo- lution. One of the bravest of from tiersmen, he often led parties against the Indians, to whom, from his sue cess, he was particularly obnoxious. In May, 1782, he reluctantly accepted the command of an expedition against the Delawares, fell into an ambuscade, was taken prisoner, and tortured to death.

 Contrast the brutality shown to-
 wards women and children on the
 Lusitania, and scores of other ships,
 by the officially directed German sub
 marines, with the Alabama's action fifty years ago." he continued. Sem mes never destroyed a vessel without providing for the safety of the pas sengers and crew. He turned his own officers out of their cabins to put in them the women and children of his foes, and once when he had 700 pris- oners and a prize he allowed them to
 go in freedom on the vessel rather than send them to a nearby port
 where there was yellow fever. Com pare these actions with the methodical and organized brutality of the Ger
 man military authorities in this war, and then brand with shame the
 American traitors who seeks to aid
 Germany by asserting that we, if given the chance, would be guilty of atroci- ties like those she has committed" Touching on the matter of language

Those who refuse to render the one should nave no title to the enjoyment of the other. We stand for the democracy of ser vice: we are against privilege, there fore against the privilege which would escape service in war.
