MRS. DUNAM INJURED TN AUTO ACCIDENT
Ford Roadster Overturned When Engine Went Dead" on Edge of Embankment

Mrs. Lula Dunam, wife of Frank P. Dunam of 5901 Fourth avenue, south, commercial traveller, was se- riously injured yesterday afternoon about o'clock near Ironda1e, when the Ford roadster in which she and her husband were riding turned tur- tie over an embankment. Lon Munger of this city was passing in his car at the time and brought MT. and Mrs. Dunam to the city.
 Mrs. Dunam was taken to the West End tnfirmary for medical attention immediately. Her right arm is broken and it is thought that possibly inter- nal injuries were received. From ac- counts of the accident, it occurred when MT. Dunam pulled to the side of the road to allow another car to pass. His right wheels were over the edge of an embankment, the driver de- pending upon the power of the car and the momentum to overcome the gravity and pull the car upon the roadbed again. The engine went dead just at the critical moment, allowing the car to slide down the embankment and oyerturn.

 MEMORIAL DAY

Members of the George A. Custer Post No. 1, c. A. R., and their fam flies observed Memorial day by attend ing the services at the Simpson Me morial church yesterday morning. The church auditorium had been teste- fully decorated. and special musical programme arranged. A large num- Der of members was present.
 Dr. J. S. Ditler delivered the me- morial oration, his subject being, Dreaming Dreams and Seeing Things" He made the point that vis- ion was given of God to men to im- pei them to the accomplishment of their higher achievements. As an in- stance of this gift he mentioned Morse, who was given the vision of the telegraph for 30 years before the world accepted his invention. The na- tions, too, he said, are dominated by their visions.
 '"rhe men who laid the foundation of our nation. the men who protected it with their lives, and the men who preserved 1t, in the hours of it's trials" he said, "all were working out their ideals, and were driven by their vis- ions. The vision of freedom in the beginning is what has always driven us in to fighting battles, and which today is causing us to put our all into the world conflict, that We may make the world safe for democracy. We have been converted into a vast missionary society to carry the gio- rious gospel of republicanism to the down-tr trodden peoples of the earth"

ARTILLERY DUELS

Paris, May 26.-An artillery duel of con siderable intensity took place last night along the French front southeast of Amiens, in the region of Hangard wood and below the Avre, the war office an- nounced today. The Germans attempted a raid on French posts in the Orvillers- Sorel sector. between Montdider and Lassigny, but failed of their purpose, as they did in similar attempts in the Cham pagne and in the Vosges region. Prison ers were taken by the French during patrols in various sectors. The text Of the official report reads:
 Our own and the enemy's artillery developed great activity in the region Of Hangard wood and south of the Avre. A German thrust, preceded by violent bomhardment upon French posts in the Oryillers-Sorel sector, was without re- suit for the enemy. Other German at tempts in the Champagne and in the Vcsges region failed.
 "Frencli patrolling attachments brought in rrisoners, notably in the region of the Ailette.
 .There is nothing to report from the remainder Of the front"
