 RG, $. C., Oct. IT. As the result of a head-on collision between two electric cars near here tonight, five New York soldiers were instantly killed and several more injured. The men were members of a New York regiment that is in training at cantonment on the out skirts of this city. It is thought that all of the injured men will re cover, none of the injuries being considered serious.
 An investigation is being conduct ed to determine the cause of the collision. Both cars were running at full speed and met at sharp curve which made it impossible to slow up and avoid the accident. Few people were on either car at the time of the accident.

Instructions have been issued to all towns to maintain continuous watch and report any signs of the invaders Anti-aircraft guns are being installed in all prominent and commanding po- sitions for the purpose of repellinS the Zeppelins should they attempt raid.
 Reports received today by the min istry of marine state that large German dreadnaught hit a field of submerged Russian mines on October 12. The vessel struck a mine and immediately headed for the coast. It's ultimate fate is unknown.

POST MASTER AT
 EAGLE ARRESTED

Clyde A. Thompson, postmaster at Eagle, has been arrested on charge of enbezzlement and is held under court. according to word received here yesterday by the federal au- thorities.
 Charles Riddeford, postal inspect or, and Arthur Paisley, an inspector both of Spokane, Washington, made inc complaint against Thompson. Word of the procedure reached the marshars office yesterday.
 The inspectors who acted in the case came to Eagle September 21 and immediately upon arrival there went to make an investigation of the office After the inspection the postmaster was charged by the in spectors with being short of funds to the amount of $6,000 The charge of embezzlement was made before the commissioner at Eagle by Riddle ford and Paisley, and the defendant waived the right of securing counsel and refused to give any statement in court.
 Thompson was bound over to the grand jury on bail in the sum of s6,OOO The bail was furnished by J. J. Hilliard and J. B. Howard, s4,OOo and s2,OOO being furnished re- spectively.
 Nothing more was heard as to particulars of the case by local au- thorities last night.
 Local friends of Thompson say they are sure there must be some mistake, as it seems almost an i'm possibility in a town the size of Eagle for a man to collect post of flee funds to the amount of s6,000.

GERMAN LEADER SAYS SAMMLES
 POOR FIGHTERS
Associated Press)


 AMSTERDAM, Oct. 17.-Major Hoffe, a member of the German general staff, in a signed article to- day in the Weser Zeitung deridcs the idea that the United States will be able to land any considerable body of troops in France to aid the allies. Not more than 100000 or at the most 500000 men can be trans ported and supported even if they were landed, he claims.
 The aid of these troops" he says. will be worthless. Ameri- cans are of low fighting value and have no conception of the discipline necessary to win battles. They are below normal and will probably equal the Roumanian soldiers only" He says that Germany need have no fear of what America will be able to accomplish.
 Aviation, he declares, is the only possible means whereby the United States could possibly aid the allies. Germany, he says, is fully aware of the American aerial aims and has already taken steps to meet th:s danger and offset any material dis advantage which American air fleets might place Germany under if she were unprepared.
