McConoghey Just Don't Like To ToIk"
BY CLINTON CONGER

United Press War Correspondent
 With Third Division, Vosges Mountains, France, Nov. 10-UP)- Dave McConaghey is just one of those guys who don't like to talk.
 He wouldn't even tell how it felt to be alone inside tank, loaded with 150 gallons of high octane gas- ollne and assorted explosives, while two German anti-tank guns were hammering away outside
 So it was up to his buddy, Cpl. Edward Farrell @ Emerald street), Brookline, Mass, to tell the story. First Farrell explained that the &C., cepted behavior when tank is hit is get away from that gasoline and explosives as quick as possible. But not so with McConaghey, techni- clan 4th class hailing from Pitts burgh, Pa.
 we're moving down the road to attack unbuttoned because there's dogies ahead and everything is quiet," Farrell explained. "Then two anti-tank guns, perfectly camou- flaged, onep up at us at about 400 yards. They let the dogies through to wait for us, the dirty. ="
 "The gun in front smacks us with the first round near the ventilator and ricochets to blow the assistant drivers hatch right off. Being tank commander, I give every man : Hit the foad' over the inter- phone.
 No Dave
 ''Me, the cannoner, and the radio operator take of into ditch. We meet Whiting the assistant driver but no Dave.
 I'm thinking maybe he's hurt when the tank starts to back up.
 "The two anti-tank guns open up again. This time a shell goes through the turret so hard, the turret lock flies of and hits this door in the back. But is he both cred? No. He's been in Pittsburgh on Sunday afternoon looking for a place to park near the movies.
 we all yell get out that tank you crazy -.' But he backs slow ly down the road 800 yards and those two Kraut guns go at him with everything they've got.
 "Well, there he is now still walk ing around smoking cigarettes and drinking powdered coffee. He turned that tank around by a farm house, where he ran into some mortars, and drove it back to the assembly area.
 ''It had two holes in it, but he just told the captain it was pretty rugged up ahead"
 As Farrell started out the door he called back to reporters:
 You might tell 'em this is the third tank McConaghey's had knocked from under him."
 McConaghey was hauling at the end of Farrells arm and shouting for fifth time:
 Come on, Windy, we gotta ga! | up.''

1850 Heovies Strofe Bases

London, Nov. 10 UP) - More than 1850 American heavy bombers and fighters swarmed across the western front today to bomb and strafe Germany'S first line fighter bases and communica- tionS centers in the Cologne and Frankfurt areas.
 Two big bomber fleets, numbering more than 750 Flying Fortresses and Liberators, spearheaded the attack. They dropped a great weight of bombs across the enemy targets in a continuation of the offensive to smash the forward bases that might be used against the American Army drives from Metz to Aachen.
 The Fortresses and Liberators dropped more than 2,000 tons of bombs through the clouds over Ger many. They flew through intense cold all the way.

extreme easterly edge of the drive way. The deceased who was then standing on the running board with the upper portion of his body with in the car was pinned between the left door and the frame of the car. When the deceased became so pinned, his companion, screaming, went behind the operators wheel, reversed gears and attempted to back the car but without success. Although the deceased was extri- cated by the police within ten min- utes after the accident and rushed to the Waterbury Hospital, he was dead on arrival. Death was caused by compression of the chest result ing in suffocation
 A mechanical examination of the car disclosed that prior to the &C., cident the emergency or handbrake, when set, was inadequate to hold the car stationery. It is believed that the failure of the emergency brake to hold caused the car to roll. How ever, as there is no evidence that either occupant of the car was aware of this fact and as the evil dence indicates that Eleanor Der ench was not operating the car prior to and at the time of the ac- cident, no criminal negligence can be attributed to either person.
 I find that said death was not caused by the criminal negligence of any person or persons within the meaning of any criminal stat ute.
 In compliance with the statute, I have filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court for New Haven County at Waterbury, my report of the inquest, together with the tes- timony taken.
 Dated at Waterbury, Connectl- cut, this 10th day of November, A. D. 1914.

 Coroner for New Haven County, at Waterbury.
