Of the locomotive that passed over
her body she was seen walking
along side Of the track Of the ap
! preaching train apparently in nc
danger Of being run over. The
engineer suddenly lost sight Of
her and crossed to the opposite
side Of his engine to see whether
she was on the other road between
the two tracks and she could not
be seen. He Immediately applied
the brakes and to his astonish-
ment found her body was hor-
ribly mangled in between the
wheels of the first box car. Mrs.
Moritzsky had left her husband IS
place Of business a couple hours
before on business in connection
with their mercantile store. In
fact she made the rounds collect
ing small accounts from Mr..
Moritzsky's patrons. This ac-
counts for her being in that part
of Jeanerette at the time. It is
supposed she did not hear the
train approaching and uncon.
scious Of her danger attempted TO
cross when she was instantly
killed. Deceased was well-known
and generally admired by all who
knew her. Coroner Landry was
called and held an inquest over
the body. There were no eye
witnesses to the unfortunate ac-
cident. She leaves besides her
one young daughter
about eight years old. The re-
mains were taken to New Orleans
and inferred on Friday morning
in the family burial plot.

AMERICAN FORCES SENT TO
SIBERIA.

Washington. Aug. First de
tails of American military aid t.
be sent to Siberia for the protec
ton of the rear Of the Czecho
Slovak forces in their movement
westward against Germans, Aus
TRANS and hostile factions were
made public today with the an.
nouncement by General March
chief of staff, that Major General
William S. Graves will command
the American forces. the nucleus
Of which will be two regiments of
regulars from the Philippines.
General Graves now is in com.
mand Of the Eighth Division at
Camp Fremont, Cal. The regi-
ments to form the vanguard Of
the American contingent, General
March announced, will be the
Twenty seventh and Thirty-frst,
neither of which is recruited to
war strength. This force will be
supplemented by additional
troops from the United States, the
number of which has not been re-
vealed. The. chief of staff said,
however. that the American force
would not be a large one.
In announcing the selection Of
General Graves to command the
American forces, General March
took occasion to state that so far
as he knew no commander-in-
chief for the whole expedition
has yet been designated.
He recalled the fact that this
could only be done by interna-
tional agreement such as was
found to be necessary to concer-
trate the supreme command of all
the Entente and American troops
in Europe in the hands of General
Foch. From other sources it was
learned that negotiations are now
under way to this end and that
the chief of staff to the Japanese
army, General Baron Uyehara,
has been suggested and his name
is now under consideration as
commander-in-chief.
General March said that the
sailing Of the expedition or that
of General Graves will not be.
announced, but upon the arrival
of the, force the news will be
made public. It was not stated
whether an announcement of the
size Of the American contingent
may be expected. The Japanese
force, in conjunction with the Chi
nese. who will act under Japa-
nese direction, probably will be |
more numerous; in fact Japan Is
preparing to send into Siberia
any number Of troops necessary 70
carry out the declared purpose to
give effective aid to the Czecho-
SlOvaks.

London. Aug. S.-Several thou
sand prisoners have been taken
| by the Franco-British forces in
their offensive in Picardy. the
Evening Standard learns.
According to reports received
this afternoon the Allies have cap
tured the towns of Moreuil, Dc
NUN, Ablancourt and Marian
court, the heights west of Cerisv
and the heights south of Morlan-
court.
News from the Scissors
Rheims front this afternoon is
that the Germans are holding the
northern bank Of the Vesle in con-
siderable strength with large
number of guns. They are be-
lieved to have destroyed some of
the bridges over the isne and to
have taken some of their heavy
guns across that river.
London, Aug. S.-According to
advices received in London, the
French and British forces, which
opened new attack this morning
in the Picardy sector, have adj
vanced at points to deptr of
more than three miles. The at
tack must have taken the Ger.
mans by surprise. as the weather
has not been such as would gen.
orally be chosen for the COM
mencement of new operations.
On Monday there was con
tinuous downpour Of rain along
the Amiens front, but advices
state that the British troops were
congratulating themselves that
the ground was not as bad as they
had experienced in Flanders.

Talk Into Your Telephone

There are two ways to make telephone
call and to carry on telephone conversation.
The zUr01g way is to humble the mum.
Der to the operator, to be inattentive to her
repetition. and then. when you get the con-
nection, to talk at your telephone without
regard to its distance from your lips.
The right way is to give the number to
the operator clearly and distinctly, to lis.
ten for her repetition of the number and 1c-
knowledge it, and then to talk directly
into the telephone, with your lips close to
the transmitter, giving your whole attention
to the telephone conversation.
The right way will help you'to geteven
quicker and more accurate connections and
will make your telephone conversations
more efficient.
Always talk DIRECTLY into your Telephone

Worms Caused Much
Damage To Wheat Crop.

Richmond, July 15.-The Vir-
ginla wheat crop, just in, was
seriously affected by the wheat
nematode, a worm that attacks
and destroys the grain, the dam
age is estimated at million dol
lars III this State alone. Many
other sections in the Southern
wheat belt were affected, accord
ing to information from the De-
partment of Agriculture.
A sample of badly infected
wheat has just been received
from Shenandoah miller, who
did not know what affected ship
ments of wheat received by him.
Men were sent at once to the
Virginia district, where the
nematodes were working. They
inspected field after field, They
found it had depleted the crop
from Z to 40 per cent. About
one-half the fields in the Valley,
which, since the war has gone
heavily into wheat raising, are
now known to have suffered from
the scourge.
This seasons crop of wheat is
now SO far advanced in Southern
States that the effect of the
nematode's work is visible. The
reports from Prof. Byars, of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, ant
| of d. c. Coleman, of the Bureau
of Markets, who are inspecting
the Virginia territory, state tina
more harm will be done to thu
wheat this year than last. Ii
some.sections there will not b.
half crop.

who considered this bill, 40 81
member Of the State Roads Comr
mission, and as one vitality in
terested i'll the welfare of the
Valley, / do not think there
should be any apprehension as
either the ability or the desire of
the state to satisfactorily main
tain the Valley Turnpike in the
event that this transfer is made.
In reference to the second objec-
ton above outlined, the state of
Virginia has sufficient authority
over the control of traffic on roads
owned by 1t to prevent excessive
speeding or other abuses by those
operating trucks and automo-
biles. This l am assured by State
Highway Commissioner Coleman
will be done.
In so far as compensation to
the private stockholders is con-
cerned-about 20 cents on the
dollar-I consider this compen'
sation to be reasonable but ade-
quate in view of the fact that the
stock has never paid a dividend
and the motive influencing origi
nal investors IN this property
was to obtain a solid road, ani
for the future the Valley will bt
relieved of any direct cost O.
maintenance.
| We in the Valley should bea
in mind the fact that toll gate,
have been abandoned by nearl,
every state in the union and tina
other roads are being construct
ed toll free, giving access be
tween the north and the south
, and if we adhere to the toll gat
. system we will discourage trafh
, through the Valley.
RI By reason OF the adequate raj
!, road facilities in many section
5 of the Valley, it is imperativ
that we have excellent roads, nc
5 only for local traffic, but for tn
: purpose of having access to out
side points.
l trust that the people of til
: Valley of Virginia will take a
active interest in this matter
which is Of primary importanc.
II The officials and directors of tn
: Valley Turnpike Company onl
: desire to do what will best pro
mote the interests of this section
fl Another important reason i
: favor of the transfer of the Va
| ley Turnpike to the state is tina
; this road will then be eligible
| receive money aid from the Uni
; ed States Government for til
construction of a three-track sy.
tenn, which soop will be badl
needed.
II l desire to again reiterate tina
l do not own one dollar of stoc
in the Valley Turnpike Company
directly or indirectly ; that so ia
as | am advised no stock has bee
sold since the consideration O
this transfer, and the only effec
lon me that the ratification of til
law will have is to deprive me 0
my position as president.
