Baio Bellefonte, Pa., July 12, 1918. — eT Miraculous Escape from Injury in Au- tomobile Accident. Miss Verna Chambers, daughter of County Treasurer David Chambers, and her friend, Miss Catharine Bron- son, of Jamestown, N. Y., had a mi- raculous escape from death on the evening of June 29th, when Miss Chambers’ automobile turned turtle over the bank along the state road just below Horatio Moore’s iron works. The two young ladies were on their way home to Clarence. Ahead of them was Ray Kelsey driving I. L. Harvey's car. Miss Chambers signalled Mr. Kelsey for road to pass and she alleg- es he pulled to the right but just as she attempted to pass him he pulled over directly in front of her car and stopped. In order to avoid a collision she threw on the emergency brakes and the rear end of her car skidded around breaking the guard rail and the car rolling completely over and landing on its wheels on the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania track, in imminent danger of toppling into the dam which at that point is about eight feet deep. When Kelsey saw what had hap- pened he started his car and drove to Milesburg, sending another young man back to find out the extent of the accident. In the meantime, a nearby workman ran to the rescue of the young ladies and helped them from the car. Aside from being badly bruised and suffering from shock they were uninjured. The top of the car, fenders and one lamp was broken. Mr. Chambers was in Bellefonte at the time and being notified he hurried to the scene of the accident and brought the ladies to Bellefonte then secured help and had the car pulled up onto the road. The motor being intact it was driven to Bellefonte with its own power. Dr. Brockerhoff Resigned as Borough Councilman. One of the surprise events of the regular meeting of Bellefonte borough council on the evening of July first was the written resignation of Dr. Joseph Brockerhoff as councilman from the South ward. The doctor gave no reason for his resignation but asked that it become effective at once. No action was taken in the matter by council at that meeting, but if Dr. Brockerhoff insists that his resigna- tion be accepted it will be up to the council to elect his successor to serve until the next general election of councilmen. Report was made that Hard P. Har- ris had been elected a member of the Executive committee and Burgess W. Harrison Walker a member of the Ju- dicial committee ‘of the Association of Boroughs. Mrs. Bliss Aikey presented a claim for $70.00 for a broken ankle sustain- ed on the board walk leading to Bush’s Addition. Mrs. C. E. Cooke, of Baltimore; Mrs. Marilla Dawson, Miss Mollie Snyder and W. R. Brachbill made written protest against granting the Bellefonte Academy permission to erect a gateway at the intersection of Spring and Bishop streets. Other business of minor interest was transacted after which authority was given for the renewal of notes for $1,500, $500, $1,500 and $3,000, a new note for $2,000 was also author- ized and bills approved to the amount of $2157.56, after which council ad- journed. Young Soldier Killed in the Phil- ippines. On Sunday, June 30th, Mr. and Mrs. George H. Waite were notified by the War Department that their son, Sergt. Harry Waite, of the mounted police service in the regular army, had been killed in a motor-cycle acci- dent in the Philippines. The infor- mation given was very meagre but so far as could be learned the accident happened about June 15th. Sergt. Waite had been a soldier in the regular army for ten years and only recently underwent an examina- tion for an officer’s commission, and was hoping to be sent to France to see real service. Hig death, therefore, under such circumstances, is deplored by all who knew him as a boy and young man in Bellefonte. Assurance has been given the young soldier’s parents that the remains will be sent home for burial, though it will prob- ably be six weeks or two months be- fore'they will arrive here. Red Cross Auxiliary Organized at Scotia. A Red Cross Auxiliary was organ- ized at Scotia several weeks ago with forty-two members and the following officers: President, Mrs. Vorie Thompson; vice president, Mrs. Geo. B. Thompson; secretary, Mrs. P. E. Hicks; treasurer, Mrs. William H. Farber. At a festival held the same evening $29.00 were made, which was turned over to the State College Chapter to which the Auxiliary is at- tached. Among the active workers in the organization of the Auxiliary were the Misses Pearl Fields, Bessie Ghaner and Mary Tomco. ——DMrs. Ella Smeal was arrested at her home at Pine Glenn last week on the charge of obtaining a team of horses from H. S. Baumgardner, of Altoona, through false pretense. She gave bail for her appearance before the Blair county court. ——Subscribe for the “Watchman.” Fuel Regulations Now in Force.

HARRY KELLER, Chairman Centre County Fuel Com. Joseph Rodrigues, a Mexican, escaped from the Rockview peniten- tiary on the morning of July 1st. The same evening he literally walked into the arms of state policeman Evan Jones on the state highway at Axe Mann, who brought him to Bellefonte and lodged him in jail. Rodrigues was sent up from Erie county last February for from eighteen months to three years, and the day following his escape and recapture he was sen- tenced by Judge Quigley to serve out his old sentence and an additional sen- tence of equal time. He was taken back to Pittsburgh on Friday by Sher- iff Yarnell. ——subscitbe for the “Watchman.” ONAS NSIS additional amount as shall make up |t Allies Soon to Outnumber Huns im) Huge Combat. The new German drive between Montdidier and Noyon is rapidly be- coming the foremost and most cruel battle of the war. Into it, the Ger- mans apparently are determined to throw their last reserves, in a su- preme effort to separate the Allied armies and reach Paris before Amer- ica’s full participation wrests from them the last hopes of eventful vic- ory. Already, the steady flow of Amer- ican, Italian and British divisions in- to France, coupled with the terrific losses inflicted on the Germans since March 21 practically has wiped out the numerical superiority with which the Germans opened the offensive. It is certain that if the Allies hold out two months longer the Americans, at the present rate of arrival, will give them an incontestable and crush- ing superiority. As a consequence, the French are resisting in the present battle with extreme energy, equalled only by the prodigality with which the Germans are rushing up their last resources. No longer is it a secret that the French expected the present attack and were as fully prepared as effec- tives and material would permit. It is likewise known that the Germans knew the French expected and prepar- ed for the attack, yet, facing the heavy losses which such a situation necessarily must entail, the enemy un- hesitatingly attacked. They rushed up reserves to replace their losses un- til more than twenty divisions (240, 000 men) have been fed into the bat- tle to date. On both wings, where the French are doggedly holding out, villages like Courcelles have changed hands every few hours, day and night, since the battle began. The last carrier pig- eons from Leplemont, which was com- pletely encircled, brought word that the French there were still holding out, although they now possibly have been submerged. ; ; The Germans still are making their greatest effort in the Matz Valley for the purpose of reaching the Oise above Compeigne, thus forcing evac- vation of the entire Noyon salient where, at the extreme northern point, Carlepoint wood, on the east side of the Oise, and Mt. Renaud, on the west side have to date barred the German advance into the Oise Valley. Military experts consider it most probable that the Germans will launch a second converging attack from east of Noyon, with identical objectives of attaining the Oise from the east, and forcing evacuation of the Noyon sal- ient. From prisoners and other sources, it is established that the Boches are sufering a severe crisis in effectives. Many companies go into action with only eighty or a hundred men. The wounded are forced to return to the fight as soon as they are cared. The losses in infantry officers are so great that cavalry officers are now substi- tuted. Among two hundred prisoners in- terrogated a fourth were in the 1919 class, while many were in the 1920 class. The prisoners also included minors and expert workmen who here- tofore had not been sent to the front. The fifth division of the Prussian Guard, which is one of Germany's fin- ést body of troops, lost fifty per cent. of its effectives during the March of- fensive on the Somme and lost thirty more in the Chateau-Thierry drive, it has been established. gion of Vouty and Maercreaux report heaps of German dead, often lying in four or five successive windrows. South of Faverolles, 670 unburied dead were counted. Twenty women and girls of Philipsburg have volunteered for mo- tor messenger service which has been established in that town by the Cham- { ber of Commerce. 2508880088 8 SEPT TITVYYTIw to shoot.

These homes are going to use oil cook stoves so there will be more coal next winter and therefore more for the government. Will your home be one of them ? It should be. will be in the majority of these homes and there should be one in yours. You will not only save coal—you will save money. Kerosene is far cheaper than coal. And with a New Perfection you can have the same good things to eat and with less work, trouble and time. It doesn’t heat up the whole kitchen like a coal fire does, either. You can regulate the heat exactly as you want it. No fire to fix. No ashes to bother with. Many good cooks prefer to use a New Perfection the year round. But they get the best re- sults (and you will too) when they use Atlantic Rayolight Oil instead of ordinary kerosene. The difference is in the quality—the way it is refined and pu- rified. All waste matter is taken out. All the heat-producing elements are left in. Atlantic Rayolight is a superior kerosene yet the price is no more than for the other kinds. There’s a dealer near you who sells Atlantic Rayolight Oil. Look for the sign, “Atlantic Rayolight Oil For Sale* Here.” Decide right now that you will have a New Perfection Oil Cook Stove this summer. Your dealer can show you one now. Goand seeit today.
