He was known to his friends who were legion, as "France and they grew to love him for his many traits of character principally for his kindly disposition and charity toward his fel-lowmen. He was never known to speak an unkind word about any one and always ready to lend a helping hand.

That the young men were not more seriously hurt Is little less than a miracle.

The accident occurred at the Mechanicsville crossing while the two were on the way home from Man-helm, where they had gone in Mr. Brubakers car. The crossing at Mechanicsville is at the building of the Lancaster County Farmers Association. When the youDg men arrived at the crossing it was blocked by a freight train. The crew of the train was shifting a car onto the siding of the Farmers Association building, and the automobile approached at a rapid speed.

The machine crashed broadside against one of the freight cars, and it was badly broken, so much so that the movement of the train was impeded. Immediately after the accident the two young men' were conveyed to Lancaster, Mr. Brubaker In the car of Elam Stehman, of East Petersburg, and Mr. Hertzler in the automobile of A. W.

Root, manager of the Farmers Association. They were taken to the General Hospital. An examination of the victim of the accident showed that Mr. Brubaker was cut about the face, arms and legs, and that Mr. Hertzler suffered from lacerations and bruises about the body.

The latter had an arm broken, the sole of his left foot badly torn. As far as could be learned he has not sustained any. internal injuries. This morning both were In a fairly good condition. The train which figured In the accident was No.

Sweet never appealed to me more strongly than on last Sunday morning when the air of the beautiful song was wafted across the waters of New York Harbor by a cornetist on the steamship Came-ronla, laden with Americans joyous at the thought of setting foot again on the finest and freest nation on the earth, said Mr.

W. W- Hollinger, of the firm of S. M. Myers talking to a reporter of The New Era to-day of his experiences In war-stricken England. Mr.

Hollinger, with his wife and daughter, and other Lancastrians landed in New York on Sunday morning on the Cameronla, after a rather nervous, but uneventful, voyage from Glasgow, Scotland. As the Statue of Liberty hove In sight on Sunday morning a cheer arose from the crowds gathered on deck, and a few minutes later a cornetist appeared on the forward deck and commenced the strains of "Home, Sweet Home. Silence was supreme among those assembled, and tears mingled with cheers' as he concluded that selection. Then the cornetist played the stirring national anthem, "America," and the auditors gave vent to their patriotism as never before, and cheers resounded from deck to deck. The incident will never be forgotten by those who participated in it.

A week before Mr. Hollinger left Glasgow he wrote a letter to his brother, and it reached Lancaster almost at the same time as did the tourist. The New Era has been given the privilege of reproducing portions of the letter, dated August 9, as follows: I "To be bottled up in a country with 80,000 more Americans, and surrounded with the atmosphere of war, destined to be the greatest ever known, is no enviable position. Coming almost like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, Britain found herself face to face with the greatest problem ahe has ever been called upon to face, but during the two weeks stay we saw no violent demonstrations on the thoroughfare or Squares. The mass pf people were seemingly amazed, and unable to grasp the thought that war had been declared with) what is supposed to be the best-equipped nation of the world (Germany).

Our hotel patronized mostly by Germans; in fact, the entire force of waiters and chefs was from Germany, and in tVenty-four hours after the declaration had been made the entire force toad left. This added to the excitement and Increased the hotel rates ten per although we were not Affected. The cancelling of the steamship sailings perhaps created the most demonstrations. Thousands of men and women rushed to the offices for advice, only to learn that the dates of sailing had been cancelled indefinitely, and that no money would returned and only transfers would rbe made, and this was stopped in a dew days. The next center of excitement was the American Embassy and offices of Ambassadors.

A committee jot prominent American bankers and lawyers was quickly formed. They offices in the Hotel Sa-n oy. This was thronged daily by Americans, and many in absolute distress, no money, no baggage and no chance to embark for home. "Thousands of persons were com' ing from Germany, France and Belgi um, leaving baggage behind, and in many instances families were sepa rated. I saw women in tears, men with distressed faces, endeavoring to communicate with their families in the various countries, they having preceded them to attend to business, but no communication seemed to be open.

.1 listened to experiences of men and women who came from Paris that were almost unbelievable. Some traveled all day and night without food or drink or convenience for sanitary purposes. They landed at the various channel crossings, only to find the boats either crowded or sailing for England uncertain. Women and children spent all they had for a bit of food, and many aboard the Chancel -steamers were without money. Wealthy men had all kinds of money, but it was not accepted at any price.

No express company checks could be cashed. Conditions were not Improved when the bank holiday commenced on the third of August, and continued till the following Friday morning. During this Interval restaurants and hotels refused to accept the Bank of England five-pound notes, and, in fact, jwould not cash express company checks. During this Interval a rush was made on the American Express Company offices, and they relieved the situation very generously by cashing tip to $50, and from 9 a. m.

to 2 p. 'm. people were lined for two squares and three and four abreast after tnoney. Another center of interest, as well as disappointment, was Cook's tnaln office, from which thousands of ftlcketahad been Issued for continental tours to be taken and others finished. They demanded new book-dngs or the return of money.

The Matter, in many cases, was refused, Rowing to the fact that money bad been paid in New York, and they 'could only issue drafts for collection 'there. With dally intensified rumors of a long conflict in sight, ships not walling, money becoming scarce, and price advancing, you can only imagine part of the Intense anxiety of thousands of American citizens.
