FRENCH STILL FLEE
FROM GERMAN SHE'LL
Grass and Swamp Fires Set OF Shells
Which Were Piled Up to be
Carried Away.

Laon, France, Nov. Presidents of
the devastated districts of France are
still fleeing from bursts Of shell and
shrapnel. The new menace is caused
by the small grass and swamp fires
which frequently set off the shells
that have been piled up to be hauled
away and exploded in some safe place.
Major H. G. Greene Of Boston, Mass,
had a thrilling ride and narrowly es-
capped a hail Of shrapnel on his way
from st. Quentin to Laon as a result
of one Of these fires. A French woman
working in field near Bouconville was
gassed and considerable damage has
been done.
In the vast, desolate fields, thousands
Of unexploded shells have been picked
up by German prisoners and though
there are details hauling them away
and exploding them in remote valleys
every day, there are still long ranks of
them everywhere. Sparks from loco
motives and from small fires where bat
tlefeld rubbish is being burned, occa-
sionally set fire to patches Of dry weeds
and the accidental bursts are numerous.
Roads passing places where shells are
being demolished are guarded but it is
from the accidental blasts that the
danger comes.

People who had expected that the

William ]. Swift Suffers Sc
we're Injuries When Auto
mobile Crashes Into Work
Car Friday Evening.
FOUR ARE SLIGHTLY INJURED
Other Occupants Of Car Receive Pain
full But Not Serious injuries Auto
mobile Is Thrown Several Feet
When Struck BY Car.

William J. Swift, purchasing agent
Of the WHITTIER Motor Company, was
severely injured just after five o'clock
Friday evening when the automobile in
which he and his wife and three young
ladies were riding, collided with a
utility street car near the corner Of
North street and Milwaukee avenue
All of the occupants of the car were
painfully injured when the car was
turned completely around and thrown
several feet to the curbing. All of
the injured were taken to the St.
Catherine Is Hospital where, with the
exception of Mr.. Swift, it is said the
injuries have not proven serious.
The injured are:
William J. Swift, 43O Pleasant
street, face and hands bruised and
cut and hurt internally.
Mrs. w. J. Swift, badly bruised,
back severely wrenched.
Miss Hansen, Madison, guest Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Swift, hip dislocated.
Miss Geardine Dornbush, Fleet
street, hands and face severely
cut by glass.
Miss Helen Althof, Rowland
avenue, badly bruised and severely
cut about hands and face.
Gould Not See Oar.
The sleet storm which struck Kenosha
on Friday evening was largely blamed
for the accident. Mr.. Swift was driv-
ing south on Milwaukee avenue. He
had just passed two large sand wagons
and had been forced on the car lines
in order TO clear them. He declared
street car until it was almost upon him
and then he was unable to pull out of
its path. John Handmach, the motor
man, of the work car, declared that the
car was going slowly, but that slick
tracks made it impossible for him to
stop it Immediately. Both men admit
ted that the sleet storm made it impos-
sible for them to see each other until
they were too near to avoid the accident.
The automobile was thrown to the
curbing and all the occupants thrown
heavily against the sides of the car.
The police ambulance was hurried to
the scene Of the accident and took
the injured people to the st. Cath
erine's Hospital. The car was almost
totally wrecked by the accident.
x-Ray Examination This Morning
At the st GATHERINGS Hospital this
morning it was stated that all Of the
injured persons had rested easily dur
ing the night. An X-Ray examination
was conducted for Mr.. Swift this morn
ing in order to determine whether he
had suffered any dislocations of bones
in his neck. 1t was also thought pos
sible that he had had his jaw bone
broken and the examination is being
made to detect the exact nature Of the
injuries. Physicians, while they admit
that internal injuries may develop, do
not think that he is seriously injured
although it is said that he will be con-
fined to his home for several weeks as
result of the accident
