He was placed in the truck and hurried to the James Walker Memorial Hospital for treatment. The truck that collided with Mr. Runge was driven by Mr. John Wolfe, a young white man ,and, according to eye-witnesses, was moving at a high rate of speed up Second street. Mr. Runge, who is an unusually large man, was knocked several feet by the impact, which would indicate that the car was moving rapidly and that the impact was of a violent nature. According to the gentleman who saw the car strike the bicyclist the machine :Was moving north on Second street and was on the right side of the street. Mr. Runge was moving south .also on the right side. The pedestrian, who assisted in placing the injured man in the car, stated that the driver of the truck evidently sought to dodge around a vehicle that was parked on the street in front of the Warren Ice Cream establishment and in so doing crossed over to the left side of the street. It vas at this time that the collision occurred. The left fore wheel of the truck struck the bicycle and rider with terrific force, unseating the rider and toss ing him several feet.

"In the forefield the combats con tinued. German outposts repulsed hostile reconnoitering detachments and compelled the British to engage strong bodies, which suffered heavy losses in artillery and rifle fire. These small German rear guards -again blocked the way of the British by tenacious ,and desperate resist ance, using every bit of covering and sallying forth in surprise attacks from crater and remnants oL trenches. "This tenacious defense forced the British to move ahead their batter ies, but the heavy German artillery was ready. Thus, a British battery attempting to' fix itself near Butte de Warlencourt on February 27, was shot to pieces in a short time." The above is the first detailed state ment from German official sources ex plaining the retreat on the Ancre.

Class 2. Citizens of the United States who have been, or may be, engaged in the seagoing profession. These also are for general service if necessary. In this class three months active service during each enrollment (4 years) is desired, but. is optional, this service. to be upon the application of the member, and taken in one or more periods of not less than thfee weeks r the failure to make this service only lessens the retainer pay. (3) Naval Auxiliary Reserve, Class o o. Citizens who have been or may be employed on American vessels of the merchant marine of suitable type for; use as naval auxiliaries. Enrolled members of class 3 must make such reports of the movements and occu pations of themselves and their ships as may be required. Members ot class 3 shall, in time 6f war or na tional emergency, be required to serve only on vessels of the mprchant ship type, except in case of emer gency. (4) Naval Coast Defense Reserve, Class 4. Citizens capable of performing special useful service in the j navy, or in connection with the navy, in de fense, of the coast. Note. Owners and operators of yachts and motor power boats suit able for naval purposes in defense of the coast may be enrolled in this class, and contracts made with, such owners to take over their boats in time of war or national emergency, unoru payment of a reasonable indemnity. For this class the requirements are: Satisfactory evidence as to abil ity, character and citizenship; capa ble of performing useful service with coast defense vessels, torpedo craft, mining vessels, patrol vessels or as radio operators, etc., and many serv ices on shore essential to the navy, thus releasing the regular navy and oher classes of reserves, for duties afloat. Practically the only require ment for enrollment is good charac ter, ability to perform some useful service in or with the navy. In all classes the members are sub iec.LJo navy regulations only during time of active service. When not on active service a certain retainer pay, depending upon the class in which they enroll, is received, when on active duty, they receive the same pay as officers or men of the same rank or grade in the navy;, are fur nished a uniform allowance when re porting for active duty; and must keep the commandant of the district advised of their address. There is another class, Naval Vol unteer Reserve to be on the streets at an early date.

Mr. Hanson states that he will bring good men here in the future if he has to guarantee them an amount in ex cess of the total gate receipts and then if the crowd fails to turn out he will be justified in stepping down. The general opinion is that the fans will turn out if shown something a little better than the ordinary and this is! just exactly what Hanson proposes doing. When the date of the next match is announced the fans may rest assured that, they will see a match worth while. Daniels is coming to 'Wilmington with a reputation that themost skep tical cannot doubt and an effort will be made to get Matty Masutka here the ' following week.

C, only about 50 acres are left and the cabbage crop around Charleston. S. C is practically wiped out, according to information furnished The Dispatch by gentlemen who have just returned to the city from that section. The recent cold snap and freeze is said to have played havoc with these crops. The recent issue of The Truckers' Journal gave out the information that the crops in this section suffered but little as a result of the unusually cold weather, but it is evident that the period of cold was of longer duration in the Palmetto State than "down home," and as a result it is predicted that the-farmers of this section will realize a handsome price for their produce.
