Philadelphia Touring Car Re-
bounds After Hitting One
Car, Into Local Auto
ONE CAR HITS z OTHERS

The Perth Amboy Motor Corps Red
Cross ambulance driven by Mrs. Ar
thur Stern, figured in an unusual
quadruple motor car accident on the
Lincoln Highway between the CoIonia
hospital and Railway yesterday after
noon, which damaged all four cars,
but failed to injure the occupants OF
any of the cars.
The principals in the collision which
blocked the road for an hour and a
half with wreckage were a Philadel-
phia touring car carrying three pas
sengers; Railway Red Cross ambu-
lance filled with soldiers from Colo
mia; q large motor truck of the State
Highway Department, and the Perth
Amboy ambulance in which were Mrs.
Stern and Coporal Ray Marthalai.
According to Mrs. Stern, she was
driving toward the hospital followed
by the state highway department
truck when the accident~occurred not
far from the hospital. Toward her
were coming the Railway ambulance,
followed by the touring car, the lat
ter going at good clip.
1t appears that just as all the four
cars were in very close proximity the
movie men or the jinx of the road
pulled the strings and things began to
happen.
The Philadelphia touring car shot
out from behind the Railway car and
directly into the path of Mrs. Stern
and the Perth Amboy ambulance.
Crash. Into the local machine went
the big touring car. Bang! And the
touring car, rebounded from the
Perth Amboy ambulance and hit the
Railway car. And then to finish the
carom and make 100 per cent bat
ting average the blamed thing iswung
off from the Railway car and smashed
nto the state highway department
truck. BY that time the various
drivers had brought their steeds to a
halt and all got out and counted
noses. No one was more seriously
Injured than good shaking UP, but
the cars needed the services of corps
of automobile doctors.
The persons who fortunately es-
capped injury are Frank Lloyd, chauf-
feur of the Philadelphia car; Miss
Margaret Klauder, 1913 West Allie
gheny avenue, Phila., and a friend, all
in the big touring car; Mrs. Roberts,
of Railway, the driver of the state
highway truck, and Mrs. Stern and
Corporal Marthalai.
Among the casualties to the ma
chimes the following are listed: Phil
adelphia touring car complete wreck;

Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, July 15.-One Of
ficer and six enlisted men were killed
in the destruction of the American
mine-sw eeper Richard H. Buckley by
the explosion of a mine in the North
Sea July IL. Two other officers were
injured.
The dead are Commander Frank A.

The officers injured were Lieuten-
ant Frederick G. Keyes, and Walter
L. Sharon, but the dispatches to the
navy department said their injuries
were not serious. Two officers and
sixteen enlisted men were rescued.
The Buckley was engaged with
other mine sweepers in removing the
North Sea mine barrage when q line
became entangled in the sweeping
cable. Before the cable could be
played out again the mine exploded
directly under the ships stern. The
trawler was shattered by the terrific
impact and sank in six minutes be-
fore other vessels of the fleet could
reach her.
Commander King remained on the
bridge directing the efforts to save
the crew and went down with his
ship. The remainder of the dead
either were killed by the explosion
or trapped below deck when the yes

Strike Spreads to Ships Owned

Board
Bu Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 15.-The de-
mand of the striking marine workers
at this and other Atlantic ports for
union recognition today, continued to
be the principal stumbling block in
the way of settlement of the walk
out which late yesterday affected
vessels operated by the U. S. Shipping
Board. The spread of the strike to
the government controlled boats re-
suited in the refusal of shipping
boards officials to grant the seamen's s
demands for three shifts of eight
hours each at sea and preference to
union members.
Oscar Carlson, secretary of the
firemen's organization and spokesman
for the union officials, estimated that
400 ships were tied up in this port
and that 5000 men were out here.
He predicted that the strike would
become general within three days at
all Atlantic ports.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-A charge
that Japan secretly secured pledges
from Great Britain, France, Italy and
Russia early in 1917 that in the peace
settlement Shan Tung peninsular
should, for certain considerations, be
turned over to the Toxic, government,
was made in the senate by Senator
Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, who
produced what he declared to be
copies of diplomatic correspondence
embodying the promises of Great
Britain and France. These pledges,
the Nebraska senator declared, ex-
plains the pressure which resulted in
Shan Tung transfer to Japan under
the Versailles treaty, whose ratif1ca-
ton by the Senate he asserted would
write "the blacklist page in the ma
tons history"
Great ,Britain's influence in the
matter he charged was secured by

Pacific Islands south of the equator,

a promise of the Toxic government to
help China into the war so that Ger

be available for carrying troops and
