Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BIRTHS H HEADQUARTER IN FANCE, Oct. 2.-(Reuters)-T con- tingent of Americans who had been holding out since Sunday in a far ad- vanced position between Cambrai and St. Quentin against greatly superior enemy numbers. have been rescued.
 In our attacks around Vendhulle yesterday we were able to fight through and relieve this party, num- bering some hundreds, who, having taken up their position Sunday night, were surrounded by the Germans early Monday.
 Notwithstanding that they were op- posed by such superior numbers and only possessed the ammunition and rations which they themselves were carrying, the Americans made a mag nificent resistance and the ground was strewn with German dead.
 Describing the rescue of a conting ent of Americans, who had been cut off .or two days from their comrades in an advanced position between Cam brai and St. Quentin, the Malls cor respondent at British headquarters says it was one of the most dramatic incidents of the war.
 Couraqe Overnastered Them
 The Americans rushed forward with too high courage on Sunday, the cor respondent writes, and became com- pletely and very deeply encircled There they remained until Tuesday when a British unit forced it's way across the canal and released them The American stand and the relief of the party will probabl'' become in cidents famous in the annals of the war.

WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS
MUST USE LESS PAPER

An order reducing the amount of
print paper that may be used by
weekly newspapers by Is per cent has
been prepared by the pulp and paper
section of the war industries board,
and will be effective Sept. Is.
The regulations providing for a re-
duction of Is per cent for daily papers
became effective on August 12, and
those providing for reduction of 20
per cent on the part of Sunday papers
will become effective on Sept. 1.
Publishers of weekly newspapers
must arrange for a reduction of Is
per cent in their circulation begin
ming with Sept. Is, in order to meet
the requirements of the war indus
tries board. The method of making
such reductions will be largely left to
each publisher, who will work out the
details of the problem for his own
paper.
Weekly papers issuing more than
eight pages will be asked to reduce
their size often enough to keep with
in the Is percent reduction.

WOMAN INJURED IN
auto COLLISION

In an auto collision last Saturday
afternoon about five o'clock fon South
Court street at the intersection Of
Lafayette road, Mrs. Jake Frazier of
Cleveland Road sustained a serious
fracture of her left limb above the
knee.
In the auto with Mrs. Frazier were
her husband and two sons, Paul and
Gerald, Bert Wheeler and Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Shoup and daughter.
They were driving east and had, just
entered South Court street as a big
Pierce Arrow car driven by w. e.
Wright Of Akron bore down from the
north, striking the Frazier car on the
side and forcing it against a telephone
pole several feet away, demolishing
one wheel, both tenders, light, and
other parts. Mrs. Frazier was seated
on the front seat and the bumper of
Wright's car smashed thru the side
of Frazier's car, striking Mrs. Frazier
and breaking her limb.
. w several. c1tlZenS VINO Witnessed the
accident hastened to Mrs. Frazier's
assistance and it was at first thought
that she would have to be removed to
a hospital. 1t was found to be not
necessary and she was given surgical
aid at her home, where she is now
a&sipG IL y. Y % VI.
Mr. Frazier states that hSs1 .Sb5sserved
the Wright car approaching before his
own car had reached South Court
street, and that had the former veered
to the right as Frazier's car was pas
sing around to the left on South Court
street there would have been no collis-
sion. For some reason or rother Wright
did not take this course, thus collis-
sion was unavoidable.
Frazier's car was put out of COM
mission, but Wright's was not so
badly injured as to prevent him pro-
ceeding on his way.

TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION
ATTRACTS BIG CROWD

What is conservatively estimated as
1900 persons attended the big tractor
demonstration last Saturday on the
farm of c. M. Hatch, mile north of
Medina village, under the auspices of
the Medina County Farm Bureau, and
directly in charge of Prof. H. G. Ram
saver, head of the agriculture engin-
eering department of O. S. u.
Nine types of tractors were DEM
onstrated, eight with plows and one
with discs and harrows. The Hatch
field is 25 acres, high and level, and
was ideal for tractor demonstration,
being divided into equal strips for the
machines. All the tractors worked
we'll and to one not familiar with this
kind of work it was difficult to see
wherein one excelled the other.
One of the tractors was driven and
manipulated by Eddy McRoberts, a
twelve-year-old lad from Ridgeville,
Lorain county, who caused consider
able surprise and merriment by his
dexterity in handling and driving so
large and clumsy machine. He
stopped few times in blowing the big
strip assigned him and made his end
turns with the ease and speed of a
Ford runabout.
The Cleveland and Ford tractors,
each demonstrated by local agent,
finished their work before the others
and SO nearly together that both
claimed first place, there being no one
at hand who assumed to declare in
favor of one or the other.

DEFERS ACTION ON
HOSPITAL PROJECT

A special meeting of the Board of
Trade was held Wednesday night at
X. Of P. hall at the request Of the Me-
dina Hospital committee, for the pur-
pose Of deciding whether or not the
board shall, as body endorse the hos
pital project.
Capt. Pagan and his assistant pro-
,noter, Mr.. Bailey, were present with
the committee and presented their side
of the question, urging that the board
now endorse the project inasmuch as
what has erstwhile been considered by
many an unsurmountable barrier-the
securing of the Phillips dwelling for
hospital purposes, has been eliminated,
the question Of building and site to be
left to the decision of the contributors.
The board decided to take no i'm
mediate action and deferred the mat
ter to its next regular meeting in
September. ny

OF BRUNSWICK CHILD

A terrible accident occurred in
Brunswick, near the east township
line last Saturday afternoon when
Emma, the -year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Nichols, had one
limb severed below the knee and the
other SO badly lacerated that it is be-
lieved she will never again have the
use of it.
Two of Mr.. Nichols other children
had been instructed to cut some weeds
in the yard and one of them conceived
the idea of hitching the horse to a
mower. One of the children led the
horse while the other hung on to the
yoke, neither observing little Emma
who was playing close by, and who got
in the path of the mower blade.
DR.. Wood of Brunswick attended the
little girls injuries, following which
she was removed to Cleveland hos
pital. 1t is thought the child will
recover, altho she will be crippled for
life.

SERIOUS INJURY
TO Medina BOY
LIFE NEARLY CRUSHED
OUT BY HUGE TRUCK
DOrus Nugent, II, Is In Critical
Condition at Lodi
Hospital

Dorus Nugent, son of Dan Nugent
of Lafayette road, is lowering between
life and death at Lodi hospital, the re-
suit of an accident that occurred late
Monday afternoon near the B. & o.
depot, when his body was pinched and
forced along the pave for several feet
by the huge wheels of a five-ton
truck. 6
The young man was employed by
the Ohio Gas & Fuel Co., laying pipe
line and had laid off from work Mon
day afternoon to go to Chippewa Lake
to camp with some friends. With his
father and number of others he was
riding in the truck and was reaching
for his valise preparatory to jumping
off, when the machine struck a rut,
the Nugent boy losing his balance and
falling to the pave between the for
ward and hind wheel. The father
witnessed his son fall and, sitting
with the driver, was able to have the
car stopped in few seconds, but not
until the machine had all but crushed
the life out of the unfortunate boy.
Coroner Crum of Lodi happened to
be in town at the time and he immed-
lately arranged to have the lad re-
moved to the Lodi hospital in an am
bulance. Previously he summoned
DR.. Stoll of Wooster hospital, the lat
ter arriving in Lodi soon after DR..
Crum and his patient. An examina-
tion disclosed that the pelvis bone had
been fractured and the bladder BURST
ed, both hips being crowded nearly to-
gether An operation was immediate
ly performed, since which, while rest
ing somewhat easier, the boys life is
still dispaired of. q

PAVE SITUATION
NOW CLEARING UP
VILLAGE FINDS IT HAS
SUFFICIENT MONEY
Agreement Finally Brought About
With C. s. & C. Railroad
Company

From action and discussion at spec
ial meeting Of council Tuesday night
it seems probable that North Court
street will ultimately be improved,
but not this year, which latter fact
will come as no, surprise to most of
us, who have seriously doubted that it
would be accomplished this year from
the start. Contractor Kellogg stated
at the meeting that there was practic-
ally no likelihood Of the work being
done in 1918, or even begun, also that
the Smith Road Improvement would
probably not be completed before snow
flies.
However, matters have cleared up
some, and Contractor Kellogg will
proceed with his work, using tar filler
from now on. He had refused to
proceed with the work unless a cer-
tifcation by the clerk was affixed to
the supplemental contracts issued in
December, 1917, changing the original
contracts stipulating grout filler to
tar filler. Kellogg has contended all
along that this certifcation was leg
ally mandatory, whereas Solicitor Un-
,derwood has held that it was not.
While neither man has receded from
his position on this point, the matter
has been smoothed over by the clerk
affixing his certificates, whether leg
ally necessary or not.
sf Soon after the meeting of council a
week ago Kellogg raised new bar
iTier by asserting that there was not
sufficient money in the village treas
lry to improve all the streets, includ-
ing North Court street, and that this
too would prevent him from perform
ing the contracts until sufficient funds
were available. AT first it seemed
that Kellogg might be correct. But
upon d careful examining Of the ac-
counts and exchequer it was found
