Two men in the automobile wore run ning down the iuthlle road almost par allel with the. tra<-k and as they turn ed on to the crossing, which was Ip a out, thc.v wore confronted with a mule. The passage was narrow and H was either run into ihe mule and possibly kill It and Its rliler and i>or haps themselves or run Into the ditch. The ear driver chose the latter alter native and the car slewed around on to the track and stopped. After the mule was out of danger and the car occupants found themselves unhurt, efforts to move the car wcrO unavail ing because of a hadly bent rear axle. The train was almost due and one of the car occupants rushed down the! track to llag the train. The headlight brought the man and the car into view at about the same time. Engineer Plerson put on the emergency brakes and applied the sand blast to the wheels to help the brakes to hold and the engine came to a stop within ten feet of the damaged automobile. The car was moved from the track with the assistance of the train crew and No. 117 passed ojj^ Its way with the profuse thanks of the unfortunate au tomobl lists.?- Yorkvllle Enquirer. WORLD EVENTS. Signs are not wanting that there soon will take place In the United States Congress sharp debate on the lH)sltlon of the United States as a re sult of the .Euroj>ean war. Already In the Senate there has been some de bate concerning American neutrality, shipment of munitions of war and tra vel by American citizens 011 ships of belligerent Nations, showing divergent views by various Senators which the presiding officer j>ermitted "by way of feeling out and getting an Index to the Senate." In the hands of the foreign rela tions committee of the Senate now rest data sent it by Secretary of State Lansing concerning (Jreat Britain's holding up of neutral commerce and the negotiations with Germany concerning that country's .submarine warfare. What Is known officially concerning the sinking of the steamer Persia is also said to have been banded over % to the committee. Desiring to maintain Its policy of non-intervention in controversies be tween the belligerents the United States, it is stated, has decided not to adopt the suggestion of Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary, that American naval officers investi gate the charges that British marines oftlie patrol-boat Baralong killed mem bers of the crew of a German sub marine which the Baralong sank. Under a compulsory service bill In- 1 troduced in the House of Commons by Premier Asquith all males between 18 and 11 years of age who are bach elors or widowers without doi>ondeut children would 1k> liable to military service. Ireland Is excluded from the operation of the bill. The fighting between tjte Russians and Austro-Hungarians in the region of Csser n owl tss, Bukowina and north ward. at various points In Gallcla and Russia, continues the most sanguinary of any 011 the various war fronts. The results of these battles are still ob scured by contradictory reports from the Vienna and Petrograd war chan cellories, each of which claims suc cesses for its resj?ectlve army. ~ No Important events have taken place 011 the western line In France.' The rephlse by the French of a German attack In the region of Tahure. On the Austro-Itallan line a return of clear weather has brought about a re newal of the bombardments along t fie I son 710 front.
