Rnopf sustained a ifightful injury to
his right hand and arm, which were
horribly crushed while working with
his bread roller in his bakery. After
having refused absolutely to permit
the arm to be amputated, which his
physicians had insisted upon, that
frightful injury was apparently rap
idly and splendidly healing, and his
mission to st. Louis last Saturday
was to have an examination Of his arm
made by a bone specialist, as it was
feared that there may be some loose
slivers of bone in the injured arm
This may account for the accident, ms

Auto Accident

Ernest Knopf and his sister-in-iaw,
Miss Ethel Vaughan, met with very
unusual accident last Saturday while
motoring to st. Louis in Mr.. knopf 5
car. when twenty-eight miles out OF
St. Louis the machine had double
blowout, and in some manner the car
turned over three times over a steep
embankment. Remarkable as it may
appear. both occupants of the car es-
caped alive, though Mr.. Knopf's back
was severely wrenched, while Miss
Vaughan sustained only minor III
iuries.

MASS MEETING

All men working and about
the mines are requested to
meet at the Woodman Hall,
Flat River, Mo-, Thursday,
July IL, 1918. The object of
the meeting is to discuss the
} question of asking for an in
crease in wages.
At the present wage we find
it impossible to exist, and do
our duty in supporting our
Government by the purchase of
} Liberty Bonds, Thrift Star'ps
and meeting our obligatis ~

D The Company has shown no
0 disposition to increase our
o wages; consequently it be-
0 comes necessary that we make
0 our demands, but before doing
o so we must get together and

The fact that Mrs. Knopf heard
nothing of the accident until Monday
afternoon, when Mr.. Knopf tele-
uhoned her few particulars, indi-
Gates that perhaps his injuries are
more serious than he indicated. At
any rate the good wife is inclined to
that view of the case. And the fact
that the car turned over three times
while taking that frightful plunge
would indicate that perhaps Mr.. knopf
held some information back.

Serious Accident

Chas. Koehler was brought to this
city by Mayor Geo. R. Kluegel of
Lamberton Monday evening and was
placed in st. Johns hospital for med
ical treatment, he having received
serious injuries in an automobile ac-
cident that evening.
According to a story CLEANED of
the accident it was learned that while
Mr.. Koehler and four children were
descending hill near Revere anoth-
er car, travelling in the same direc-
tion, attempted to pass and in so do
ing collided with the Koehler car.
causing both cars to turn turtle. All
of the occupants of the Koehler car
were thrown out, but fortunately
none of the children were injured.
Their father, however, did not fare
so fortunately, for he sustained a
fracture of two ribs on the left side,
and he had terrible cut across his
chest, which extended from the CEN
ter of the chest around the left side
of his body to the spine. Late re-
ports from the hospital are to the
effect that the victom of the acci-
dent is getting along as we'll as
could be xpected.-Springfield Ad-

HUN EFFICIENCY.

1t is a great habit with Germany
in face of all one hears of her eff
cheney to copy from Yankeland. For
instance, 'over there" the huns ;-re
busy shooting our American boys
with American invented guns; sink
ing on the high seas Gus ships with
American invented submarines,
bombing our Red Cross hospitals
with American invented airplanes;
cutting stolen wheat fields in France
with American invented binders;
transporting their hun hordes with
American invented steam engines;
giving orders to attack our boys ov-
er American invented telephones and
wireless telegraphy; entertaining
their troops with American invented
talking machines; tangling up our
soldiers in American invented barb
ed wire; and incorporating into its
military efficiency the efficiency in
vented by Barnum of the great AM
erican circus.
That's the sum and substance of
German military efficiency. It's eff
cient alright, this machine which
they have been building for the past
As years; but it wouldn't be worth
two whoops in hades were it not
for the ideas they have copied and
stolen from the United States.
Oh, yes, they have made some in
ventions, of course. Poison gas, for
instance. But after the Allies begun
to pay them back with gas they've
found it necessary to pattern their
gas masks after their enemies. Also
they invented the Zeppelin and all
they have achieved with the Zeppelin
is to kill off innocent women and
children. Yes, and they also invent
ed long range gun, and the biggest
military victory they have so far
gained with it was when they hit
church in Paris Easter Sunday, kill
ing about 60 people who had come
there to worship. Another great in
vention of theirs Tin their own esti-
mation) is their spy system. This
spy system they kept in active opcr-
alton in the United States during the
more than 40 years that the kaiser
has since boasted that he "kept the
peace"
But thank God German military eff
ficiency is now being found to be as
perishable as fruit. In one and one
half years time the United States
has built up war machine that al
ready has put a dent into the much
boasted invincibility of the huns 45-

stock or on order 1, 100000 pounds
of yarn for distribution to our Chap
ters. 1t is hoped that we obtain some
additional yarn from wool unsuita-
BILE for government uses. The ex-
pected total, however, will be consi-
derably below the 10,000,000 pounds
used last year.
"While the total Of yarn we can
secure is being determined we are
studying how to use our supply to
produce only garments which are
most essential When a conclusion
is reached we will announce our full
program of knitting.
'In addition to this stock of yarn
the Red Cross has ready for distri-
button 100000 sweaters, $4,000
wristlets, 228,000 helmets and 1928
900 paris of socks-a total of 1914
600 articles. We are hopeful, there
fore, that these and such additional
garments as we shall be able to make
will enable us to meet urgent require
ments of our men during the coming
winter
| In this connection it will be of in
terest to the women who have been
knitting to know that from Septem-
Der /, 1917, to June 13 1918, the Red
Cross distributed 5,875,OOO knitted
garments to the army and navy of
the United States. During the same
period $4,000 knitted articles were
sent to the Red Cross commissioners
in France and Italy for distribution
to soldiers, sailors and civilians.

tries board with the Red Cross works

MAIL TO SOLDIERS

To deliver letter to a man in the
American expeditionary forces takes
on the average little less than 80
days from the time the letter is put
IN the mail box in America until it is
delivered to the mail orderly of the
United States Army at the rail head
In France. Some letters have made
this trip in seventeen days: in other
cases it has taken forty-two days, and
sixty per cent of this mail makes
this trip in twenty five days. Ee-
tween 100000 and 2,85O,Ooo letters

TANKS IN HAMEL
ADVANCE SAVED
MANY SOLDIERS

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, July s.-The work Of the
tanks in the advance by the Austria
lian-American force at HameI has
opened the eyes of British officers to
the possibilities of causing the Ger
mans heavy defeats, with slight casu-
alties to the : attacking infantry.
Several officers have said since the
battle that the prospects for victory
never seemed so bright as now.
MOpped Up Gun Posts.
Details are now available concern
ing the work Of the large feet Of
tanks which participated in Thurs
days battle. Officers say that this
was one Of the most economical as
saults ever undertaken on the Brit
ish front, owing to the fact that the
tractors saved casualties among the
infantry by hopping up machine gun
posts and strong points in advance.
In numerous instances whole machine
gun crews, with their rapid-hrers,
were literally ground into the earth
as the tanks swept on Ike steam
rollers

stroyed or captured more than thirty

The German machine gunners, how
ever, fought to the last In many In
stances.
Numerous times the Australian and
American infantrymen communicated |
with the tank crews and gave them |
the direction from which hostile ma |
chine gun fire was coming. In every /
case the tank was able to deal with |
the rapid hrers, and thus allow the
infantry to advance. One tank, which |
was 200 yards in front of the allied
infantry, destroyed a nest OF six ma
chine guns by running over it after
the gun crews refused to surrender.
Ran to Surrender.
Another tank crushed three rapid
hrers, but a fourth machine gun con-
tinued firing at a distance OF i've or
six yards. This gun, in turn, was
run over and destroyed, together with
its crew.
At one point q tank moved against
