ANNIsTON

Anniston, July 14-(speciaI) IA fatal accident was narrowly averted Friday night when two cars came to- gether In a side-swiping collision at the intersection of the Jacksonville pike with the new road from the ma chine gun camp site, just south of Edgemont cemetery.
 Mrashall Peck, manager of Armour & Co.'s plant in this city, was returning from the camp and was just turning into the pike when a Chevrolet road ster, in which May Nixon, John Nal lory and L. J. Carroll were riding to- ward Jacksonville, dashed into his car knocking off a running board. The Chevrolet was badly wrecked and MT Carroll was knocked off the car with such violence that he became uncon- scious. The other men in the car were shaken up considerable, but escaped serious injury
 The new road is being used a great deal since the machine gun camp be- gan operations, and motorists have called attention to the abrupt angle which the side road joins the pike. It is considered dangerous spot and unless motorists are extremely care- full, those who are in position to know state that other accidents will happen
 MT. Carroll. who is an ex-policeman, was reported to be resting easily Sat urday morning.

inforced by Germany. with her seem
 ingly inexhaustible resources. Ger many the marvel of this age. Who can estimate her power? I simply stood in amazement, as I often did, and watched trainload after trainload passing through Austria to one or the other forts on the south to see the stalwart men in the rank and file CT her army well fed, cheerful, hopeful. optimistic. every last one of them. In this respect, one noticed a marked con
 trast between the armies of the two countries The Germans seem to con- tinue to be in q better condition tbnn
 the Austrians. Somehow, we can hardly
 conceive it. Germany still succeeds in providing adequately for her troops and over and over I was assured by
 those who seemed to speak with au- thority that even with her tremet-
 dous loss she is able to muster in each year enough men who have just come to military age to replace all of the men that she had lost, so that she has today after three years of war, as large and as efficient army as she had at the beginning
 How long will the war last? Per sonally. I do not estimate to give an answer, but it is my candid and in- nermost opinion that it is likely to last
 several years, and as I return to the hom eland. after an absence of nearly year it is with mingled emotions that I see what Is taking place here. Little did anyone suppose year ago that America would be compelled to take her share in winning this war, but it comes to one as real surprise to see the wonderful response one sees on every hand on the part of the Amer jean people"

 An unidentified negro. of young appear ance, was found dead on the tracks of the Western of Alabama railroad early Saturday morning, one mile this side of Benton, just across the Dallas county line, in Lowndes county.
 The body bore gunshot wounds, the sup position being that the negro was then placed on the railroad tracks to cover up the murder.
 The case is in the hands of the Lowndes county authorities, the justice of the peace for Dallas county refusing to touch the case because of it being over the county line. No clew as to the identity of the pegro's assailants has been found.

one who has just come from Europe hesitates. because there aw9 so many factors that enter into the situation. if I were to judge entirely from what saw myself and heard in Austria, I would say that 1t would seem impos- sible that they could hold out another year. I am betraying no secret when l say that Austria is becoming depleted, not only in her food supplies, but in everything else that Is essential to carry on the ordinary activities of a country's life.
 stores are empty. many of them rC ing closed permanently and others opening only for certain hours of the day, simply because they have noth- ing to sell. Every available man is being used in the army. So great IS the demand for men at the front that they have found it necessary to call in men past the age of 50, farmers who have never carried a gun, to act as guards in the various camps. It was almost pathetic to see these men try to do their duty. and yet one could nor help but feel that they were utterly out of place, and many of them broken hearted men. because for the first time in their life they have been torn away from home relationships, and are having to do military service. Just what Austria's military strength is at the front, of course, even those of us who spent the better part of the year moving back and forth across the country from one of the prison camps where we worked to another, 1t is i'm possible to tell What we do know is that the supply, both of men and ma terial, throughout the country is be- ing completely exhausted
 But, having said that much, one immediately must add that Austria has already endured so much and held out against overwhelming odds so long and so bravely that it is hard to say how much longer she may endure, and then, too, it must not be forgotten that Austria, at every point where she is about to break, is immediately tc-
