NATION TO ENROLL
WITH RED CROSS
PRESIDENT, IN PROCLAMATION,
PREPARED BEFORE HIS DE-
PARTURE.
CHRISTMAS ROLL CALL WEEK

Washington,-Pre Wilson, in a
proclamation made public, calls on
every American to join the American
Red Cross during Christmas roll call
week, Dec 16 to %, land thus send
forth to the whole human family the
Christmas greeting for which it waits
and for which it stands in greatest
need"
The proclamation, prepared before
the president departed for Europe, fol
lows:
ITO the American People:
Zone year ago twenty-five million
Americans, by enrolling as members of
the Red Cross at Christmas time, sent
to the men who were fighting our bat
ties overseas, a stimulating message
of cheer and good will. They made 1t
clear that our people we're of their own
free choice united with the govern
ment in the determination, not only to
wage war with the instruments OF de-
struction, but also by every means IN
their power to repair the ravages OF
the invader and sustain and renew the
spirit of the army and Of the homes
which they represented The friends
of the American Red Cross in Italy
Belgium and France have told, and
will tell again the story of how the
Red Cross workers restored morale in
the hospitals, in the camps, and at the
environments, and we ought to be very
proud that we have been permitted to
be of service to those whose sufferings
and whose glory are the heritage OF
humanity.
Nov, by Gods grace, the Red Cross
Christmas message Of 1918 is to be a
message Of peace as we'll as a message
of good will. But peace does not mean
that we can fold our hands. 1t means
further sacrifice. We must prove con
clusively to an attentive world that
America is permanently aroused to the
needs Of the new era, our old indiffer
ence gone forever.
"The exact nature of the future ser
vice of the Red Cross will depend upor
the program of the associated govern
ments. but there is immediate need to
day for every heartening word and fol
every helpful service. We must no
krget that our soldiers and our sail
are still under orders and still

struck by the first automobile, and
driven by Ernest George Gardner,
Ind occupied by Mary Edna Bum,
Ralph Smith and Vaneda Isabel
Brown, which WAS struck by the
| first car OF the train. The driver
of the second automobile, Frank So
rensen, and the other occupants,
Laura Welker and Delva Haycock,
observed the signals of the watch
man and stopped
After being struck the automo-
bile was showed and crushed beneath
the car for a distance of 121 feet,
while the car ran q distance OF al
| feet and deraiied.
The evidence further shows that
the train as Ii approached the street
was moving at about or miles an
hour, while the automobile was in
high gear and running from four
to six miles per hour. When 1t was
seen by the switch crew that the au-
tom9bile was not going to stop they
gave violent stop signals to the en-
gineer, which was promptly acted
upon and the cars we're stopped as
soon as possible The engine sig
nails sounded by the engineer were
not heard at the crossing owing to
the distance. The driver and sur
wing occupants of the automobile
claim they did not see the crossing
Waterman and the first they saw of
the approaching car of the train 1t
was about 3 to 4 feet distant, when
the driver placed his foot on the &C
cellerator and attempted to cross
ahead of the car.
Main street crosses the tracks at
nearly right angles. The crossing
is planked in good servicable condi-
tien. It Ia lighted by four electric
lights, located one east OF the cross
ing, In the center of the street, one
on each side of the street. east OF the
westward main track and one west
of track N. 7. south OF the street.
Tho standard crossing signs pro-
tect the crossing. one In line with
the south sidewalk, east OF the west
ward main track and one west of the
repair track, south of the street.
Our conclusions are, after a care
ful consideration of the evidence,
that the employees of the Oregon
Short Line Railroad Company were
in their proper places and attending
TO their duties. The accident was
due to the driver of the automobile !
not seeing or needing the signals OF |
the crossing Waterman.
