Quite a number Of married drafted
men enlisted in the Thirtieth Division
have moved their families to Green
vile, and vicinity to reside while they
are encamped here. OF course these
soldiers cannot live with their families;
but they may visit them at least three
times a week and the families are al
lowed to come to camp as often as they
desire. Practically every married Of
f,cer has had his family with him ever
since he has been stationed here, but
It has only been recently that any con-
adorable number of enlisted men have
begun to do likewise. AZ q rule on
any day numbers Of women and chill
and children OF soldiers
may be seen around camp.

extending thanks publicly. It was the
finest example of what al be raised
here all the year round we have ever
seen. The basket contained corn,
Irish potatoes, tomatoes, egg plants,

artificial watering and under the Sc
verest drouth this section has ever
seen. Can you beat it?

Horrible Accident at Crawford.

Crawford was the scene of a grue-
some tragedy last Monday afternoon,
when 1t. French, one Of the flyers,
from Payne Field, was burned to
death instantly and his flying com
panion, 1t. Soule, was 50 badly burn
ed that he died in the hospital at
Payne Field. The accident occurred
at two o'clock.
The ship was flying very low over
Crawford, so low in fact that it at
tracted the attention Of the people of
that town who came outdoors to
watch it. The presumption is that
the aviator had engine trouble and
was trying to land where he could
| get aid. The ship was going east
on the towns main thoroughfare
when it struck the telephone wires,
wrapped itself in some of them and
was thrown violently to. the ground
in front of the stores there. The
gasoline tank exploded, covering the
occupants Of the car with flames
and 1t. French, who was driving the
ship was burned to a crisp. His body
was in an upright position with his
hands on the control when the
flames subsidized and his charred re-
mains were tenderly lifted from the
wreck by the Mortified spectators who
did everything in their power to save
him. 1t. Soule managed to unstrap
! himself from his seat and got par
TALLY out Of the ship, when Mr.. j. 0.
Hinkle went to his assistance and
dragged him out. He was hurried
towards the pump well and the en-
= tire population threw water on him
and covered him with their coats
and clothes trying to save him. 1t
t French died in his machine which
was totally wrecked and burned.
r 1t. Soule was carried to the home
of Capt. George Waller, where DR.
: Mattox administered to him. Two
t other flyers soon reached there anC
one of them went to Brooksville
where the field surgeon from Payne
Field was attending another fallel
flyer and the surgeon was brough
to Crawford. The injured and burnec
flyer as we'll as the body of his com
. panion were placed in the Payn,
e Field ambulance which went hurry
L ing to the field hospital, where 1t
Soule died this morning. Both flyer
were from Chicago.
- 1t was one of the most horrible ac
cidents which has occurred in thi
section and it shocked and grieve
the, people in the neighborhoo
where it occurred. - Columbus Dis

The captain is deeply touched at
the way every officer and mar on

torpedoing of the ship this morning,
and wishes to express his heartfelt
thanks and appreciation. :.
The jealous preparation for hand
ling such an emergency and the
splendid way the officers and men
have carried out their duties have
in saving the ship and
bringing her safely into port again
The entire crew has acted man.
fully, as Americans r expected to
act in time of danger, but the captain
desires especially to express his ad:
miration for the brave men OF the
engineers force who unhesitatingly
and to a man stuck to their posts OF
duty, facing the possibility and ever
the probability of death at any mo
ment during the critical time immed
lately following the attack. This
devotion to duty unquestlonabl!
saved the ship from a second ant
perhaps fatal attack.
We are all especially grateful t.
those of our fellow shipmates VIII
have made the supreme ~sacraflce
nobly giving up their lives IN tn
performance to duty, and to thos
who have been injured by the eX
plosion. We extend to their relative
and friends our deepest sympathy
The captain is confident that tn
catastrophe will only tend to slim
