The Ford Seems
Irrepressible

]. w. Ingram, who is employed in
the Pennington Tire Works of this
city, had a narrow escape from Sc
rious injury Monday afternoon while
on his way to Doe Run on business.
He was just in front CT the gates of
State Hospital No. when the acci-
dent occurred. The right-hand wheels
of the car were inside the rails of the
electric railway, and car was ap-
preaching. In attempting to turn off
the track, the rail in some manner
caught the tire of the front wheel of
the car, tearing it off completely,
turning the car completely around,
and turning it over on its side. The
top of the car CHANGED to be up, which
doubtless prevented the car from
turning completely over, thereby saw
ing Mr.. Ingram from serious injury.
With Mr.. Ingram was Rev. Freddy,
Methodist preacher at Doe Run. Nei-
ther occupant of the Ford was seri-
ously hurt. though Mr.. Ingram sus-
tanned slightly bruised right lower
arm. Assistance soon arrived, the
car was righted, pushed from the
electric track and it started to move
off as though the 'gyrations through
which it had just passed was part of
the regular program. 1t was then
thrown out of gear, and remained
perfectly docile while the tire was
again readjusted, and Mr.. Ingram
continued on his Journey, making the
round trip without further variations.
Thus is the theory, that the Ford
passeth all understanding, again sus-
tanned.

when they got started. Another de-
clared:
"The waT'will soon be ended. There
are too many Americans coming 10
This prisoner was a Prussian, who
fought on the Russian front. He con
fessed the Germans were preparing to
attack the Americans in Bellear;
Wood when the American troops
started their attack. 1t was a sur
prise. The Americans came one way
and the German officers tried to force
their men forward the other way.
This prisoner was shot in the leg by
his own officer because he hesitated
confusedly between the American guns
and bayonets and the pistols in The
hands of the German officers.
Laugh as They Charge.
Raymond S. Howell of Barncsville.
o., who was in the first line of the ad-
vance, describing the operation, said,
1--WE took up position in the open
wood. There were no trenches. The
Germans opened a heavy fire and
shells fell around US like rain. We
charged over the rocky hill, our fell
lows laughing and yelling a war
whoop. We then came upon a wheat
field and crossed in the face Of a
whitening she'll and machine gun fire.
and drove back the Germans at the
point of the bayonet.
ut was a wonderful sight. The
Apoariaonc pauav ha,.tafaJ o.I H.
sound of their shouts and whoops were
almost drowned by the German cries
of 'kamerad.'"
"The Germans got few of our fell
lows, but we made them pay dearly
for every one.'
Enemy Lines Torn Up.
Herbert E. Barley of Anita, Ia,
told about wounded American fore
ing big German to lead the way to
the rear of the American lines, the
American said quietly:
Here's my prisoner" The German
sheepishly nodded and said: "Jaz.'
Some idea of the thoroughness with
which the Americans prepared for the
attack may be CLEANED from the fact

high explosives in one hour. The
American gunners worked so fast the
Germans said they did not have time
to think. The German lines were torn
up and the ground around strewn with
German dead and wounded. Two
members Of German hospital corps
were captured.
Machine gun emplaeements, which
were hidden behind the rocks, were
charged and captured, while group
of several Americans captured one
machine gun and 20 Germans in a
shell hole. The attacking force was a
comparatively small oney but did the
work as thoroughly as one several
times as large might have done.
One of the American wounded re-
marked to the correspondent:
T got bumped pretty badly, but ]
guess it was worth while. If we had
million more like our outfit over
here we would go to Berlin"

Fire at Doe Run

The store of N. o. Fleming, at Doe
Run, was entirely destroyed by fire
Tuesday night. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but incendiarism is sus-
pected by some of the residents of that
little city. The stock was worth about
$4,500s The store building was also
owned by Mr.. Fleming.
There was no insurance either on
the stock or building, and the loss falls
heavily on Mr.. Fleming, who is one
Of Doe Runs best citizens. He is an
uncle Of W. N. Fleming Of this city.

AMERICANS CONTINUE IN
TRUE FORM AT THE FRONT

With the American Army In
France, June 26.-In an attack upon
the German lines on the Marne front
last night the American troops ex-
tended their line northwest of Bel
leau Wood. Up to 10 o'clock this
morning ZIG prisoners had been count
ed, together with a number of ma
chine guns and other booty. Addi-
tional prisoners are coming in.
The attack was preceded by 49,
hour bombardment from the Ameri-
can artillery. German prisoners TAX
en- pay tribute to the brilliant dash Of
the Americans, declaring the men in
the assaulting party fought like de-
mons.
The Germans were virtually cleared
out of Belleau Wood several days ago,
but the discovery was made yesterday
that under cover of darkness they had
planted machine guns behind huge
boulders, in sunken roadways, in shell
holes and in trees in a narrow area on
the edge of the wood. 1t was most
difficult to get at them in these posi-
tions and some fierce hand-to-hand
fighting occurred during the night
while the clearing process was being
carried out.
The Americans now are in possess
sion of virtually all the valuable tao
tical positions in the Belleau Wood
sector. Most of the prisoners taken
belong to the saith German Division.
Undaunted by Gas Attack.
On Sunday the Germans placed the
crack 201st Division opposite por-
tion of the American line; despite
this the Americans went through in
steam roller fashion. The Germans
also had attempted on Saturday to
fill the wood with gas, but the deter
minaticn and heroism of, the Ameri-
cans could not be checked by this cir
cumstance.
The American artillery again brill
liantly carried out it's part in throw
ing the entire German line into con-
fusion. Prisoners said that the posi-
ton from which they had been taken
was like an inferno under the Ameri-
can fire. They were happy to get out
alive.
N. Y. Captured, Germans Told.
German prisoners captured by the
Americans on storming the Belleau
Wood section last night now number
$50. including seven officers.
One of the officers said the German
commanders have been telling the SOL
diers that the Germans have landed
an army in America, captured New
York and are marching toward Phila-
delphia The Germans also are told

Big Drive Today
for War Stamps

A large mass meeting is announced
for this afternoon at o'clock, in the
court house, in accordance with a re-
cent declaration of the President of
the United States. Post cards have
been sent to every citizen in this vi
cinity, and far out into the country,
urging them to attend, or see that
someone represents them in the pur-
chase of additional stamps at this
meeting. Every household should be
represented, and at least one person
from every business firm in Farm
ington should be on hand authorized
to purchase these small bonds, in the
final effort to raise the quota of $50
per member for the entire population.
The local committee have asked
business men to close from to
o'clock as was requested by Govern.
ment authorities to whom this sale is
entrusted. There will be several short
addresses, in an effort to create new
interest in the work of purchasing
these "baby bonds" begun some
months ago, but in the sale of which
there seems to have been lull.
Pennington is banner town, in a
banner county, in everything she At
tempts; we must not fall down in this,
the final and only public effort to sell
for the Government the War Certifi..
Gates which the poorest man can pur-
chase, if he is interested in winning
the war. Let your loyalty run free
and unrestrained, let your spirit OF
sacrifice manifest itself above all
selfishness and come out this after
noon at A o'clock.

Error in Hawthorne
School Figures

The purchases OF thrift stamps dur
ing the last two weeks by the chill
dren who are students at the Haw-
thorne school, amounted to the sum
OF "$s7.75" instead Of "$27.75," as
an unfortunate error made 1t ap-
pear in Saturdays issue OF The
Forum. The Hawthorne school chill
dren are very proud Of their fine
record in this new form of saving,
and the amount of thrift stamp sales
is being stimulated considerably by
the spirit Of competition that pre-
walls between the different rooms.
Just at present, the honors for
amount of sales rest with the third
graders, taught by Miss Louise
Luther, who wrested the same from
the fourth graders, taught by MISS
Helen Stowell. Announcement Of the
amount of the present weeks thrift
stamp savings viii be awaited with
eager interest.
