Automobile Accidents.

From the Advocate we note the FOL
lowing automobile accidents:
w. H. Baldwin has a broken arm due
to a kick from the crank of Ford car
in Charles Town Saturday night. The
Ford cars are apparently showing their
resentment over Henry Ford's defeat in
the Michigan election.
While going down the hill near the
farm of Chas. G. Henkle, not far from
Engle Station, a Ford operated by Thos.
E. Howell skidded and turned over. Mr..
Howell, who was the only occupant OF
the machine, emerged from the over,
turned car through the top. The wind
shield was the only broken piece about
it. Mr.. Howell escaped unhurt.
James Potts, operating a Ford runa-
bout, lost control Of it while showing
speed on fine piece Of road near Bak-
erton. The machines antics could not
be described accurately by Mr.. Potts
though he knows il looped the loop one
or more times. Finally, when il quiet
ed, the machine settled down in corn
field adjoining the road. II was badly
wrecked, though Mr.. Potts escaped un'
hurt.
Another man to add to the accident
list was Norman Clabaugh, Of Baker
ton. His car became unmanageaole
on the Shepherdstown pike near tho
farm of Charles Ronemous, and running
to the roadside struck tree. The ma
chine was seriously damaged. Mr.
Clabaugh did not get scratch.

When the Boys Come Home.

Now that the war is ended, the gov
eminent is working upon the great
problem Of bringing back to the United
States the great army Of men in Europe,
or at least those of them who will not
be needed there any longer. 1t was
announced on Tuesday that the first
Americans to be returned are the $4,000
who are now in England. The first ship
load will be started homeward within
the next few days, and it is believed that
all of these men will be homeward
bound within two weeks. Most of them
have been working with the British air
forces. Wounded men who are able to
travel will receive first consideration.
There are now more than 100000
men in the American armies in France
Of this number 100000 will be return
ed just as fast as shipping facilities can
be provided. Chairman Edward N.
Hurley, of the United States Shipping
Board, has gone to Europe to arrange
for the transportation Of the men. He
expects to use some Is or 80 big Ger
man and Austrian liners for this pur-
pose, and says that he thinks the ship
ping board can transport 100000 mer
a month if the War Department wishes
them to be returned as fast as that.
The soldiers in the environments inthe
United States will be released and sent
home without undue delay. Men Of the
development battalions will be the first
units of the army demobilized, Secre'
tary Baker announces. There are
about 100000 men now in these bait
talions and they will be mustered out as
soon as they can be given the necessary
physical examinations. The develop
ment battalions are composed OF men
who for physical or other reasons were
unsuited for active military service
when they were called up in the draft
The nature of their disabilities was such
however, that it was anticipated many
of them could be developed until they
would be able for full duty. All canton
ments have such battalions.

The Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Wilson the first of the week
issued the annual Thanksgiving proc
lamation, fixing Thursday, November
18th, as the time for this national holi-
day. The proclamation is as follows:
1t has long been our custom to turn
in the autumn Of the year in praise and
thanksgiving TO Almighty God for His
many blessings and mercies to US as
nation. This year we have special
and moving cause to be grateful and tc
rejoice. God has in His good pleasure
given us peace. 1t has not come as
mere cessation OF arms, a mere relief
from the strain and tragedy of war. 1t
has come as a great triumph of right
Complete victory has brought us, no
peace alone, but the confident pro-
mise of new day as we'll, in which
justice shall replace force and jealou
intrigue among the nations. Our gal
liant armies have participated in
triumph which is not marred or stained
by any purpose of selfish aggression
In righteous cause they have won i'm
mortal glory and have nobly served
their nation in serving mankind. God
has indeed been gracious. We have
cause for such rejoicing as revives ant
strengthens in us all the best traditions
of our national history. A new day
shines about us, in which our hearts
take new courage and look forward with
new hope to new and greater duties.
While we render thanks for these
things, let us not forget to seek the
divine guidance in the performance of
those duties, and divine mercy and for
giveness for all errors of act or pur-
pose, and pray that in all that we do we
shall strengthen the ties of friendship
and mutual respect upon which we must
assist to build the new structure OF
peace and good will among the nations.
Wherefore, |, Woodrow Wilson, Pres
ident of the United States of America.
do hereby designate Thursday, the
twenty eighth day of November next, as
a day of Thanksgiving and prayer, and
invite the people throughout the land
to cease upon that day from their ordi
nary occupations and in their several
homes and places of worship to render
thanks to God, the Ruler Of Nations.
In witness whereof, have hereunt
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done in the District of Columbia this
sixteenth day of November, in the yea
of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred |
and eighteen, and Of the independence
of the United States of America the one
hundred and forty-third.
WOODROW WILSON.
By the Presidents:
ROBERT LANSING,
Secretary of State.

ing the amounts that will have 10 be

about him to keep out the keen WIND.
After walking for an hour Re came I" u
hollow in the woods and there saw that a
storm had blown a huge tree over the
entrance to rock. From behind the
trunk he could hear the cry OF a small
Voice.
let me out Let me OUT sand The
pitiful tones. The chopper tuggcd ana
pulled. and at last, with the AID OF his
strong axe, he succeeded in getting the
entrance to the rock free of the tree. Then
out Of the hole behind crawled gnome,
too weak to walk The chopper gave HIM
some cruel from his own lunch and rubbed
the tiny man till he sat up, feeling better.
