Rapid Transit company denied late to- night that the motorman in charge of the train was green" hand. He de- clared he was a motor switchman, whose duty it had been to run trains in and out of yards. and that he must of necessity have been familiar with their operation. He did not deny that he had taken the place of a striker, but insisted that he was not train dispa atcher.
 What can a man say?" replied Col onel Williams when asked if he cared to make a statement regarding the wreck. T really feel too sad to say anything. I can't add anything as tu the cause of the accident In fact, it is too soon yet to know the cause"
 Motorman William Lewis was ar rested at his home late, tonight and taken to the Flatbush police station, where he was questioned by District Attorney Lewis. He declared he had no, intention of running away, but re- membered nothing about the accident until he found himself at home. He said he did not know how he escaped from the wreck
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-11-02

Americans were forced to depend large fly on an outflanking movement, al- though some of them fought their way through it.
 When the Americans began their at tack before dawn the Germans set fire to all the houses close to the front line, Lighting up the. country. This not only confused the Yankee troops. but it put them more or less at the mercy of the German machine gunners, who were as thick as flies.
 Among the wounded the correspond ent saw today was Maj. w. o. Garrison of Lodi. Cal, who led the battalion which flanked the wood on the north. He said the burning buildings were like a moving picture show.
 TANKS HEAVILY SPELLED
 The Americans struck an especially heavy shell fire in their sector as well as machine gun posts. They fought their way forward, however, and finally cleared the woods, the enemy leaving a great number of dead Germans at their posts.
 The joy of the Belgian people re- leased in this drive was touching. Some of them were almost hysterical in their happiness when they saw the allied troops advancing. Notwithstanding the great danger to themselves they did all that was possible for the allied wound ed, American surgeons were in great danger in caring for the wounded on account of shell fire.
 The greater portion of the wounds received by the Americans yesterday were the result of shell fire. One Ameri- can lay wounded on the field for two hours. While he was waiting big German shell fell near him. As the sec onds passed he thought each one was his last. He was lucky, for the shell proved to be "dud."
 The correspondent was told unof- ficially today that the American artil- fery was lighter than 1t should have been, but this was due to the fear that the barrage would cause casualties among the civilians. The allies are doing all possible to spare the lives of the inhabitants. With this end in view the British have stopped the use of gas.

NOTICE.

To Chairmen Local Committees, To Arkansas Consumers of Coal: 1. The fuel situation confronting the nation is serious. It is impera- tive that there be cooperative dis
 position on the part of steam-users to equip their boilers for the use of
 such grades of coal as may be avail
 able, if the domestic consumers and
 the essential industries are not to
 have a shortage of prepared sizes during the trying days of the com-
 ing winter.
 2. Loss of coaE production in
 many of the western states, includ-
 ing Arkansas, iy largely attributable
 to the fact that tjthere is not now suf-
 ficient means for the untilization of slack coal. Vhe early ordering cam
 paign in thik state has met with a ready respdnse on the part of con sumers, and retail dealers report they booked sufficient orders to keep them busy 60 days, and these who have not placed their orders should do so now. 3. Industrial plants and the con sumers of prepared sizes are expected to do their full duty, and the steam
 users are called upon to make pre-
 parations for the use of more slack,
 or the whole system of production and distribution will be badly crip- pied.
 4. It is urged upon the owners of |steam plants in Arkansas, as a pa-
 triotic duty, that they proceed to equip their boilers with special
 grates and blowers to enable them to burn and utilize approximately one hundred and fifty thousand tons
 of Anthracite slack that for the pres ent, there is no market, and place 1 their orders to the extent of their
 storage capacity.
 5. This applies especially to An thracite slack. The changes in fire box equipment can be made at a
 comparatively small cost and it will
