AUTO STALLED IN DARK
 HIT BY FAST TROLLEY
Mrs. James T. O'Connor and Mrs. }. H. Mulligan
 Injured.

Mrs. James r. O'Connor of 29 Lib erty street and daughter, Mrs. J. Fl. Mullgan, were painfully injured last night below Meriden, when the auto mobile, owned and driven by former Safety Commissioner E. x. Callahan of 51 Trinity street, was struck by trolley car bound for Wallingford. Mrs. O'Connor was in the automobile when it was struck by the trolley car and was thrown about 20 feet out of the car when it was struck. Mrs Null ligan was injured while attempting to halt the progress of the trolley car. Frantic efforts to save Mrs. O'COnnor from injury were unavailing. The auto is lmoSt total wreck.
 Mrs. O'Connor and daughter were returning from a stay at the shore and below Meriden, the auto devel- oped engine trouble at the foot of the hill near Walnut Grove cem etery. The auto stalled on the tracks. It was an electrically equipped car and when the engine stopped the lights went out. While MT. Callahan attempted to mako repairs the trolley bound for Wallingford approached and was go- ing at a rapid rate of speed down grade. Mrs. Mulligan ran up the tracks to stop the trolley car, but the motorman, James Mitchell. did not see her in time. MT. Callahan made an effort to release Mrs. O'Connor from the auto. The auto was hit with such force that it was hurled across the road and was completely turned around. The front part was badly damaged. If MT. Callahan had been sitting at the wheel he might have been killed as the steering wheel was pushed back within a few inches of the back of the seat. He had been to the shore with his family.
 Mrs O'Connor and Mrs. Mulligan were attended by pr. Joseph A. Cook. Mrs. O'Connors right ankle was sprained and she had cuts about the face. Mrs Mhlligan's left knee was injured. Mrs. O'Connor went to the hospital today.

Bravery of Canadians.

Canadian Forces in France, Aug 26 Canadian Press) s).-Numerous stories of individual gallantry and initiative , on the field in the recent fighting east of Amiens are coming to hand. A Manitoba battalion was held up in an 1, attack on FOuquesCourt which lies within the old SOmme defenses. Real izing capture of the stronghold was essential to success of the entire op- eratlons the commanding officer per- sonally led a dashing assault into that part Of the enemy position. His eX- ample so inspired all ranks that their advance was irresistible and after the village had been mOpped the battal- ion consolidated a position to the east and held it against all cOunter-attackS for two days.
 A Central Ontario battalion did equally good work in front of Beau court. The cavalry had been held up here by converging machine gun fire from the south of the Rove road and the woods to the north and east The battalion was similarly held LID but it's commanding officer realized the key to the position was a small wood to the northeast, which was alive with machine guns.
 Taking advantage of the smoke screen afforded by a burning tank he led in a hastily collected party and rushed the wood, capturing sixteen machine guns. The battalion then took the town with a dash, the enc my retiring routed.

With the American Army on the Nesle, Aug. 25 (By the Associated Press) .-German soldiers believe Ger many is not planning any more offen- siVes because of the man power short age, according to one of a party of seven of a German patrol captured by the Americns early Sunday east of Fishes. The soldier, who was a for mer bank emplOye and the owner of a Berlin restaurant, said the soldiers no longer had any enthusiasm for war Most of these with whom he came in contact believed the war would end soon.
 The prisoner had been fighting three years and declared he was thoroughly tired of it. He said the soldiers un- derstood the German losses during the recent allied offensives had been very great. These reports were credited by the soldiers and were having a demor- alizing effect. He said he knew of one division of 900 which had been reduced to less than 1000. He did not know what became of the men.
 Plenty of Germans, he added, would desert and surrender if given the op- pOrtunity. Many of them are con-.

 Germany, he said, has plenty of am- munition, but the man power question and the actual entry of American troops into the fighting are worrying the military leaders.

SENATE TAKES HOUSE
 MAN POWER MEASURE
Appointment of Special Examiners to Reclassify Men in Deferred
 Classes Struck Out.

Washington, Aug. 26.-A clear track was given in the senate today to the man power bill, passed Sat urday by the house. broadening the army draft age limits to Is and 45 years.
 When the senate convened under long standing agreement to take up war time prohibition. Senator Shep- hard of Texas, prohibition advocate, moved to temporarily lay that meas ure aside. It was agreed to and de- bate on amendments to the man power bill was resumed with passage late today or tomorrow expected.
 To expedite and simplify procedure, the house bill was substituted for the draft which has been pending in the senate. The senate military com mittee met before the senate con- vened and reported the house bill with minor amendments, after adding the senate amendments including the work or fight proposal
 The senate committee struck out the amendment of Representative Treadway of Massachusetts, adopted by the house, providing for appoint ment of special examiners by the provost marshal general to reclassify men in existing deferred classes. This amendment the committee agreed would cripple authority of state draft boards and is unnecessary because General CroWder already has power to make any reclassification deemed desirable
