Midnight Message To Federal Heads Shows That Luzeme Coanty Has Joined a Gen- eroas Over-Subscription Prevalent Thru¬ out Length and Breadth of Whole Nation.

LOCAL TRAIN RUNS DOWN AUTO PARTY; TWO KILLED AND TWO BADLY INJURED
A million dollars over-subscribed—that is the message Philip R. Bevan. chairman of the Victory Loan drive in the Wilkes-Barre dis¬ trict, flashed to the federal authorities at midnight. Wyoming Valley and the district consisting of Luzeme. Bradford, Wyoming. Sullivan and Carbon counties, subscribed more than twenty millions of dollars to thc fifth Liherty loan, and this is only a modest estimate of the work accomplished in this field.
With incomplete reports, most of the county r^orts being im- announced, Chairman Bevan informed the federal offices that the coal regions again went over the top. earning an honorable discharge. It is expected by tomorrow morning the overdrawn loan will hit closer to the two million mark. The whole nation is reported simi¬ larly beyond minimum quotas.

Two men were instantly killed and two others perhaps fa¬ tally hurt early today when a Delaware and Hudson passenger train ran down an automobile on thc George avenue railrod crossing in Parsons. The men were tumbled from their seats and , fell in front of the locomotive as it took the crossing at the rate of thirty miles an hour.
The dead men are:
Stanley Adams, aged about 5 5, of Mill atreet. Parsons.
Martin Waitkavage, ziged about 40, of South Main street. Parsons.
The accident happened shortly before 2 o'clock this morn¬ ing. The fast Delaware and Hudson train was bound for this city. Tlje machine carryittg the four men was traveling up George avenue. The crossing was not protected, according to word from the scene of the accident.
There were no witnesses to the accident. Residents in the immediate neighborhood were awakened by the crash as the heavy locomotive ploughed into the automobile, and then came the screams of the men. It is presumed that the driver of the machine failed to notice the glare of the headlight on the train or hear its approach and attempted to make the crossing with¬ out slackening the speed of his machine.
Following the accident Dr. R. S. Woehrle was called. He gave hia attention to the two injured men, who appeared to be in a serious condition. Ambulances were called and they were sent to the City Hospital in this city. The bodies of the two dead men remained on the platform of the Dela^'are and Hud¬ son station at Parsons until transferred to this city. The identi¬ fication of Waitkavage was made possible through a bank book in one of his pockets.
It was not possible to learn the names of the two injured men at 3 o'clock this morning. They were being fixed up in the operating room of the hospital. After they reached the insti¬ tution no time was lost in giving them treatment.
It was the second accident to happen on the George ave¬ nue crossing in a day. .Mrs. Callahan, an aged woman of Par¬ sons, was struck by a freight train yesterday morning. She was not seriously hurt.

Paris. May 10.—Confidence was ex¬ pressed in certain allied circles tonight that the last of the enemy powers will have msde peace by the last of June.
With the German delegates working night and day to prepare their official report to the Gennan government on the terms presented them on Wednes¬ day, the Allies are rapidly assembling the articles of the Austrian pact. It is understood tho articles are being drafted as ftiet as they are completed and that the document will be ready for submiasion earty next week.
Conclusion of peace with Germany and Austria will mark the end of America's direct participation in the negotiations. The United States was never at war with Bulgaria or Turkey, and her sole interest in the treaties with those countries apparently will 'be to see that the armistice terms and President Wilson's fourteen points are observed.   •
The Austrian delegates, according to the latest advices, are scheduled to ar- rl\^ at St Germain, near Versailles, about Monday. Evcr>- Indication points to them receiving their terms within a day or two after their arrival.
W'hile no official announcemeni has been niade In the matter. It ic assum-

The 109th Field Artillery regiment as a solid unit will likely ar¬ rive in this city next Saturday and immediately parade through thc central city streets before the soldiers go to their homes, according to members of the welcome home committee, who retumd to this city last night from Camp Dix, where the regiment is resting follow¬ ing its trip across the Atlantic fiom France.
The first group of men of the regiment to come direcdy to the city will reach here today. TTiey will be twenty men of Battery F, who have already re-enlisted for a year's service in the regular army. The re-enlistment of a score of men from a singl; battery is accepted as an indication that \*hen the other batterie-j are polled by the enlistment officers now active in Camp Dix many more of the ¦valley's soldiers will signify their 'willingness to continue in military service. The first announcement of re-enlistments was made last night when local visitors to the camp returned home. It proved to be one of the unexpected surprises of the home-coming of the regiment

Dowling was cut down after which the keeper ran to the home of Squire HoiiFor. ne.xt door. House immediately called Pr. R. S. tVoohrle of Pansons. The physician pronouncetl tho man dead. The 1>ody was taken hack to the home on Railro.-id street, where he had been arre.^ted earlier in tho evening.

After the hearing the Justice of the peace committed Dowling lo .lail under ball. His imprisonment resulted when ho failed to secure a bondsm.in. When he entered the cell in the police room he Joked with the officer in charge.

In spite of the reports of bombastic utterances coming oul of Germany- and inspltc of the pessimism evident in certain sections of the Allied press. Allied officialdom, us represented In Paris, refuses to believe otherwise than that the Germans will sign the treaty at the proper time. The con¬ ferees cannot see how the Germans can do otherwise. The enemy delegates know that in the hour the.v should announce their refusal to accept the terms the radicals would be swept into power—and the radicals have repeat¬ edly declared they want Immediate peace regardless of the costs.
In addition the Allies have given veiled warning that refusal to sign will mean economic strangulation. Im¬ mediately after the terms were pre¬ sented to Brocdorff-Rantzau and his colleagues, it was made known that the blockade section of the supreme economic  council  had been  instructed
