Where Is Willie?
Officials of the local draft board
are wondering what has become of
Willie Ong Hing, an American born
and Americanized Chinaman. Willie
should have shown up at the court
house last Thursday, to go out to
American Lake. Friday, but up to
date he has failed to materialize. and
there Is a reward of $50 for his APP
prehension. 1t was reported that he
had recently left for Chicago. but
this report was proven untounded,
inasmuch as no later than Wednes-
day he had received some money
from a certain party in some sort of
business transaction. So far as can
be learned he has not left town on
the railroad, and he has either struck
out across country or has gone into
hiding or done something else of a
mysterious nature. about which Un-
Gle Sam would like to be informed.

south of Voonmezele. The French

of its ability to retain its grasp on
both battlefronts.
The loss of Mount KENNEL has
evidently failed to disorganize in any
way the allied resistance In the
Ypres region. The line, in fact seems
to have stiffened since this isolated
height was taken by the Germans
and the enemy, after day of most
desperate struggling yesterday,
found himself held fast everywhere.
Locre. west OF Mont KENNEL and
Voormezele, two miles south of
Ypres, were the chief points under
attack by the Germans In their vain

ORE TRAINS WILD
RUN CHECKED N
THE NICK OF TINE

Rushing at high speed down the
grade from the mines Friday after
noon. heavily loaded ore train
that got beyond control of the brakes
shortly after starting on it's run to
McGill from the mines, was miracu-
lously brought to stop just In time
to prevent it's crashing into the
mines-bound passenger train that
leaves East Ely at 2:45 D. m.
The ore train was In charge of
Conductor J. H. Fulmer. Engineer
Ed O'Hare. Fireman e. G. Forester.
and Brakemen Z. L. Kelly and Bert
Thomas. AS reported TO the News
the crux of the trains wild run was
between Keystone and Lane City.
The cpeed became so terrific that a
general wreck seemed inevitable, the
brakes apparently not holding, and
all the men on the head end jumped
on. with the exception of Fireman
Forester The latter. who is also
an engineer. but at present holding
fireman's position. remained in the
cab. and after desperate efforts sue
ceeded in getting action on the air
brakes sufficient to stop the train
In time to get in the clear at Lane
City for the approaching passenger
train. Had the wild race continued
beyond Lane. and the ore train
crashed head on into the passenger
train. the results would have been
to horrible to contemplate.
The engine was No. 81. II is
said this Is not the first time this
engine has acted this way. and It is
stated the company officials will In
vestigate the cause of the incident
at hearing this afternoon.

They have left their homes and their

you all help to make things easier

1t is possible for anyone to do, who
is SO far away from the scene of ac-
tion. what is taking place over
there Every day men are being
killed and many are being wounded.
Certainly you do not want to feel
that because of your neglect some
soldier boy is suffering unnecessary
pain. How much more comforting
Is the thought that you are doing
all you can and that you are num-
bered among those noble women who
are daily receiving the blessings of
the wounded.
You all know what the Red Cross
is and the good 1t does. In order
that 1t may keep up this good work
every one must help. East Ely
must do its share.
We are not asking for money
the people of East Ely have respond
ed nobiy to the call for funds. We
have guaranteed monthly income
sufficient to buy the material that
will be used. Through the generos-
fly of the business men of the dis
trict, whom we asked to aid uA
enough money was obtained to buy
several sewing machines. One firm
agreed to loan us a machine and
several belonging 10 our members
are already in use.
With our equipment and the funds
at our command, all we need is more
workers. Those ladies who have
been carrying on the work have been
very faithful and have accomplished
much.
It is the patriotic and womaniy
duty of each and every one OF you
to follow their example.
Do not give the excuse OF being
too busy: a busy persons always
seems to find time to do little ex-
ira work, and besides excuses do not
help to win wars.
Come early Monday, Wednesday
and Friday afternoon to the Cum
berland hotel and do your bit with
the same spirit that our boys are
showing.
We take this opportunity Of thank
ing all those who have and are help
ing us in this good work and trust
that In the near future every woman
In East Ely will be willing ana
