Mr.. Thomas Atkins has further en-

words and phrases. They may not

Of our language, to be used when man
must be put to the supreme test.
"Anzac" is another coined word that
will remain for all time. A "scroun-
GER for forager, "buckshee" for any

"Conchy" for the shirker, are hardly
likely to be forgotten.

Important Happenings and Local
Notes from the County Seat.
Serious Auto Mishap.

On the return trip from Boston on
Thursday night, W. R. Prouty met
with very serious auto accident
about two miles from Derby on the
West Charleston road. In the car
with Mr.. Prouty were Mrs. Prouty,
Mrs. F. R. Sherman, Mrs. C. A.
Brown and Miss Westover.
1t appears from the appearances
and the little information obtainable
from the injured parties that Mr..
Prouty signaled car ahead that he
wished to pass and as he turned out
his hind wheels slipped into the ditch
and refused to come back at once SO
that the cars position was diagonal
to the road when Prouty applied
more power which brought the car
back. Just what occurred then is
conjecture, but the occupants were
all very forcibly thrown from the car,
the car turned completely around and
turned turtle over the bank.
All but Mrs. Sherman were render
ed unconscious and she dazed, and in
this condition were found by Walter
Norris of Derby Line, accompanied
by two young ladies of Newport on
their return from West Charleston.
Mr.. Norris took the injured persons
to Newport and help was sent to get
the car. The accident occurred about
10 o'clock p. m.
Mr.. Prouty's condition is very Sc
rious. He remained in an unconscious
condition for SO hours or more. Miss
Westover evidently struck in the hard
road on one side of her face cutting
it with gravel badly. Mrs. Sherman
and Mrs. Prouty suffered minor
complications. Mrs. Brown was bad
ly bruised, suffering a flesh wound
in the thigh and over the left eye
cut that required seven stitches to
close. In addition to above all suf-
fered severe nervous shocks and
shaking up. That all were not killed
is mystery.
Mr.. Prouty and Mrs. Brown are
both making recovery as fast as could
be expected.

Americans Welcome to Enter and
Leave Canada.

Canadian immigration authorities
have revised regulations governing
travel from the United States. w
D. Scott, superintendent of immigra
ton at Ottawa, authorizes the fol
lowing, which will be of particular
interest to American tourists desir.
ing to visit Canada during the com.
ing summer:
/. Bona fide travellers, American
citizens or citizens of allied or neu.
trail countries are welcome to enter
and leave Canada without difficulty
and are assured of courteous treat.
ment. Passports are not required
by either males or females.
2. Persons of enemy countries
may not enter at all.
3. Persons born in enemy coun-
tries, but who have been naturalized
in the United States or other coun.
tries friendly to Canada, may enter
if they produce naturalization certi-
ficates endorsed by a British consul
in the United States.
4. Persons of evident enemy orr
gin born in the United States or in
some other allied country should car
nv birth certificates OR Statutory dec
laration endorsed by a British consul
in the United States.
5. Male travellers between the ages
of Is and 43 are asked to request
and obtain a non-residence card from
Canadian immigrat ton inspectors
when and where they enter Canada.
The United States immigration
laws require that United States citi-
zens or residents crossing the border
should be able to prove their citizen
ship or residence in the United States
by satisfactory evidence of identifica-
ton, such as church, society or lodge
card, birth, school or mar
rage certificate, tax receipts, bank
pass book or some such documentary
evidence as will identify their resi-
dence in the United States.
In the case of persons born outside
the United States, who have not be-
come citizens it is necessary for them
to establish the fact by documentary
evidence that they have previously
gained legal admission to the United
States, if they have entered the coun-
try since Oct. 1, 1906.
Males of military draft age should
obtain a permit to travel, from a du-
ly qualified agent of the United
States government.
From the above it will be noted
that bona fide American tourists de-
string to visit or travel in Canada
during the coming summer need not
have the slightest apprehension of
at the international
borders, if they govern themselves by
the regulations set forth. In all cas-
es it is we'll to have some satisfactory
papers of Identification in case per-
son is called upon to prove that he is
the person he claims to be, should any
doubt arise as to nationality, place of
etc.
This information has been author
lied by the Canadian immigration de-
partment at Ottawa, and by the Unit
ed States federal authorities at Bos-
ton.
