That’s the attitude of the iniantry school and to convince officer candidates, it is running over them with tanks. The school realizes that a man is apt to be skeptical about the protection of a hole in the ground against several tons of rumbling tank. So, it has devised a little demonstration. Each officer candidate has to dig a standard size fox hole (three and a half by two feet, lour feet deep.) He crouches in to it. Over comes a tank, its big treads clawing the earth. But the tank is designed to span ditches and holes. Over the fox hole (and student of ficer) it glides. The man is showered with dirt, but he’s unhurt.

Official Continuing RALEIGH, June 15.—OP,—Pend ing examination of another wit ness, Coroner Roy M. Banks today withheld his final verdict in the death of a Seaboard Air Line rail road official whose bullet-pierced body was found here yesterday l shortly after a train wreck a* I Kittrell which cost the lives of eight persons. The railroad official was H. M Terrell, 56, superintendent of the Seaboard's Virginia division. His body was found in the division yards at 6 a. m., five hours after the Kittrell wreck. Terrell had been shot in the mouth, and there were powder bums on his tongue Detective Lieutenant Hubert Hor ton said. A pistol and two used cartridges were found near the body. Lieutenant Horton said that every indication pointed to sui cide, but Banks said that he want ed to examine one more witness before announcing his verdict. The coroner said there was much evidence to indicate suicide and just as much evidence of a motive —evidence that Terrell, a hard working, conscientious official, was worried about the number oi wrecks on his division recently— three since May 6. Banks said that Terrell had wor ried about the wrecks, had talked about them to his associates, anc was “overworked and unnerved.” Recently, the coroner added, Ter rell had told fellow employes that he did not intend to visit the scene of another wreck. Terrell was called after worn was received of the Kittrell wreck, Banks said, and he arrived at his office obviously greatly concern ed. He paced the floor and then retired to an adjoining office ana sat in the dark. Shortly thereaf! er he left the office and railroad employes thought he had gone to Kittrell anyway. In the wreck at Kittrell, Sea board s crack streamliner, the Sil ver Meteor, had stopped for emer gency orders, and its brakes be 1 came locked. An extra freight ' smashed into the observation car, killing eight passengers and in juring several others. Two mem ! bers of -freight train crew were in jured slightly. Only the observation car was damaged and the Silver Meteor | continued its journey five hours iater. The freight engine ploughed several feet into the car. Steam from the engine escaped into the car in scalding torrents. The Seaboard's single-track ! mainline has been crowded almost | to capacity for months with heavy I wartime passenger and freight j movements, and there have Deen ; several wrecks in the last lew months, three of them in the Vir ginia division. On May 6 an engi neer was killed and several train men were hurt in the head-on crash of two freight trains near Roanoke Rapids, and on May 28 , 20 persons were injured when a freight and passenger train collided near **et ersburg, Va. -V WLB Asks Employment Service To Replace Textile Mill Strikers WASHINGTON,.
