MRS, WERRES Sheds
Tears OF GRATITUDE
Wife of Murdered Man Receives
Fund Collected by Herald.

Mrs. John p. Werres wept when a
representative OF The Washington
Herald turned over to her $3.50 in
contributions received from sympa-
thetic readers interested in her case.
Il am so thankful for the money"
said the little woman, wife Of the
jitney driver who was murdered by
two escaping soldiers.
Everybody was SO kind to me. It
was through a perfect stranger that I
got a position with the War Risk
Insurance Bureau. I work from
o'clock in the evening until Il O'Clock
at night.
The work has not only saved me
financially but IL 1 hadn't got some
thing to occupy my mind would
have gone crazy"
That her nerves were still very
much unstrung was very evident She
Is a tiny, tragic figure dressed in
somber black-a contrast to the gaily

1T is hard for me to leave NV little
boy. He Is only six. My sister cares
for him until 1t is time for him to 20
to bed and then she brings him home
and puts him to bed. The people who
are occupying part Of the house LOOK
after him until get home at night.
Although he is only years old he
is careful never to mention his daddy
to me, for he knows it will make me
cry"
In saying this one glimpsed the
mother instinct in her. for she re-
vealed one Of her own weaknesses TO
prove the manliness of her little son.

SELF
SAVES LIVES
OF FOUR PALS
American, with 5 Seconds
Before Grenade Explos-
ion, Takes Choice.

How an American soldier deliber-
ately killed himself that his four pals
might live, Is the startling story told
by an American ordnance officer
lately returned from the front. His
story Is eorroborated by an artillery
officer, who recently arrived here
from France.
The hero, whose name may never be
known, Is now buried in a small cemc-
terry In France. No towering monu-
ment tells Of his Spartan-like sacri-
flee, but his story Is known to every
grenader of the American forces and
will live always in American history
as one Of the bravest acts of the war.
Here Is the story as told by the Amer
lean officer:
Like Grenades to Work Quick.
1T has been found that the most
effective hand grenade Is that with
the bent safety pin. But the Ameri-
can soldiers, anxious always to speed
up. have a habit of Strengthening the
pins. We have done our utmost TO
halt the practice and have told the
men time without number that they
must stand responsible II thay
straighten the pins before going into
action. For. a straight pin will easily
fall from the grenade and that means
that within five seconds the deadly
engine will explode.
IAN American grenader had been on
duty at an outpost. 1t appears that
he had straightened the pins in MS
grenades. When relieved from duty
he returned to his dugout, where
three of his pals were sleeping and
one lay awake in a bunk. The dugout
was twenty feet under ground.
"As he entered the dugout and
closed the heavy door, he took on
his coat and threw 1t up on his bunk
which was the third or top one from
the floor. One OF his coat pockets
sagged open and a bomb fell to the
floor. As ii fell, the Strengthened
safety PIN slipped out.
Knew the Fault Was His.
"As he saw the pin go spinning
across the room, he realized that
within five seconds an explosion would
probably kill every man in the dug
out. 1t flashed across his mind that
his pals sleeping in the hunks were
not to blame for the accident He
had been warned against straighten-
and his alone.
In five seconds the grenade would
burst. He had time to get through
the door and leave his companions to
their death, but there was not time
in which to attempt to tear down
banks and build a barricade about
the bomb. The man who was awake
yelled to him to run, but he stood
fast in his tracks.
mo man can ever tell what must
have passed in the soldiers mind in
the next two or three seconds. But
this we do know. The soldier picked
up the bomb, crept into a corner and
hugging the bomb close to his stomach
created OF his body a barrier between
the bursting engine and his pals
The blast killed him instantly, but
his pals escaped without a scratch"

UNEMPLOYMENT GREATEST U. $.
 DANGER TODAY

New York, Dec. 7.-Unemployment is the greatest danger confronting the United States during the next four months, the ltabor reconstruction con- ference of the Academy of political science was told at it's meeting here today by Nathan A. Smyth, assistant director general of the United States employment servgice.
 Soldiers are being discharged by the thousands daily, on the basis of military units, with no reference to whether or not they are now needed in industry said MT. Smyth. "They are being mustered out on a few days no7 tice and given in money the cost Of transportation. to their homes, free to buy tickets wherever they please.

GROWN PRINCE
 HAS ANNOUNCED
 GERMAN THRONE

Paris, Dec. 7.-(By The Associated Press)-(5:2O P. M0-Crown Prince Frederick Wilhelm has renounced his right to the German throne. A dis patch received in Basel from the semi- official Wolff bureau quotes the Grown Prince in renouncing the throne as having said:
 q renounce formally And definitely all rights to the crown of Prussia and the imperial crown which would have fallen to me by the renunciation of the emperor-king or for other reasons.
 "Given by my authority and signed by my hand. Done at Vieringen, De- cember 1st, 1918.
 (Signed) Wilhelm"
 In an interview with correspond ent of the Associated Press on the Island of Vieringen, received in New York, which bore no evidence of delay and presumably was given not earlier than December 2nd, by Frederick Will liam, said
 "I have not renounced anything and I have not signed any document what ever"
 He added that should the German government desire to form a republic he would be content to return to Ger many as simple citizen ready to do anything to assist his country-eyen to work as a laborer in factory

Dark Horse Probable as
 Nat'l Head

New York, Dec. 7--The annual meeting of the National League, to be held here next Tuesday, will be the. first step in baseball reconstruc- tion made necessary by tLe war.
 Among outstanding questions which must be considered are the selection of league president: the future sta tus of players released outright last autumn: national commission ar- engagements; playing plans for 1919, and limtng of club rosters.
 The election of d president to succeed John K. Tener, who resign ed last summer, iA expected to be one of the first features con5l lered he names of four men have been men toned in connection with the posi- tion, but no one appears to have a majority of the eight votes back ot his name. The four are John A. Heydler, present. secretary -r9lsuref of the league; Lieut.. David L FultZ, former president of the baseball p1ay- ers' fraternity; Franeis K. McQNade a city magistrate of New Yolk and Robert Brown of Louisville. Ky.
 Unless the votes can be centered upon one of these men 'as I ccmpro- mise candidate there Is possibility of the election of a dark horse as was the case when Thomas Lynch was selected to succeed Hary Pull fam.
 MT. Heydler appears to be the logi- cal man for the position, put it is understood that he is not particular ly seeking the honor of league exc cutive, being perfectly satis.iel with his present place. Fultz, like l1eyd- Ter, is baseball veteran, and in ad- alton has the advantage of lacol train- ing. McQuade is local city masls- trate, noted for his interest in base ball. while Brown came into baseball prominence several years ago when he was advanced as candidate for I4ynch's place by Barney Dreyfuss. and Garry Hermann.
 The status of the player also must be settled before oi,s league baseball can proceed, with arrange ments of the coming season. While the players were released outrighr on September 1st, ill accordance with the work or fight" order, legal opin ion appears to be that since the ac- tiOn was necessary to confohm with government orders, the reserve clause is still binding. As further safe guard, there is said to be working agreements between the magnets Of the leagues not to bid for each oth- CTS players.
 Several of the National League magnets are of the opinion that @ joint meeting with the American league will be necessary before plans for resumption of baseball on a, large scale can be completed. The future form and personnel of the National Commission might be dis cussed at a meeting of this type as we'll as future world series financial disbursements.

PINE BLUFF Ill, CLOSE

Defeats Strong Lake Village Team, 20 to 6--kinkade Shows Locals Some Fast Work.

Coach Bassetts Zebras humbled the Lake Village eleven OF the lat- ters own gridiron yesterday after noon by score of 20 to $, and inci- dentapy stifled any hopes rle Chicot county boys had of winning the state high school championship. A crowd of more than 1000 said to have been the largest ever gathered at sim liar event ill Southeastern Arkansas witnessed the game, which was hard fought.

Kinkade. the Lake Village little end was the sensation of the day. Two miutes before the final whistle with his team hopelessly beat en, he caught perfect forward pass and managed to elude the entire To- cal team for the only touchdown his side scored during the afternoon.
 For Pine Bluff, Captain Sorrells, Collins and Sanders, in the back field, did the work that made the scorekeepers job a busy on. They plunged through the light enemy line

FUNSTON PLAYS HEADY GAME.

Camp Funston, Kans., Dec. 7.- Playing heady game and exhibition superior team work, the Camp Funs- ton divisional eleven today defeated the Camp Grant football team by a score of 21 to 6. Two of Funston's touchdowns were the result of blocked kicks. The third touchdown was re- suited from a series of line bucks which carried Zachritz over the Grant goal line. Shaw and Felfinger blocked two Grant kicks and made possible the other two touch downs. All trere goals were kicked by Gardner.
 Grant was able to penetrate the Funston defense successfully but once when they showed the oval across the goal, and failed to kick goal.
