Fort Davis Team with Driver and
Mrs. Flowers and two Fort Davis
School Children Forced to Seek
Shelter in Snow Drift till Daylight
The team from Fort Davis which
daily transports the school children to
: ltd from the post became lost in the
blizzard yesterday afternoon and was
compelled to stay out all night. In
: edition to the driver of tho team
there were two children and Mrs. O.
H. Flowers who resides at the fort. It
seems that after the team pulled out
from the outskirts of town the flying
■•now caused all landmarks to become
obliterated and the driver was soon
hopelessly at sea as to where he was
going. After driving for a considera
ble time along what appeared to be
the trail, the driver became somewhat
bewildered and turned toward the sea
but after journeying for some distance
was induced by Mrs. Flowers to return
toward land. On arriving at the edge
of the tundra, the party became con
vinced that further attempts to travel
were useless and a halt was made un
til morning. In the meantime, the
news of the non-appearance of the
team had been telephoned to town and
searching parties were ordered out
from the post and several parties also
started out from town composed of
Marshal Jordan, Thomas Ross, George
Kllroy, the coast guard and a number
of soldiers who were in town. These,
divided up into several groups and,
eaded by several persons from the
fort and town, swept the road below
the city but without finding any trace
of the missing team. A number of the
searchers continued on to the east
finally arriving at the fort without
locating the missing party. The search
ing continued throughout the night
with no better success and as it drew
m toward morning it was feared that
i he team had wandered to sea. All
fears were finally dissipated, however,
y the arrival of the missing, stage at
the fort shortly after day break. The
party had suffered in jm> great de
>ee as they were well provided with
robes and warm wrappings.

LAW SAYS ENGLAND
FACING BANKRUPTCY,
I
A. P. A. Service.
| LONDON, Nov. 19.—Probably the
! most Impressive utterance that has
been made concerning the war outlook
was voiced today by Bonar Law In
cn address today before parliament on
the Ilnanclal bill. With solemn Im
pressiveness, I aw warned England
against prodigality in the matter of
expenditures, declaring that the nation
must either husband its resources or
face bankrutcy.
"Indeed,” said the speaker, "England
is already facing bankruptcy and the
time is fast drawing near when the
oi ritry cannot raise Indefinite loans
and will have to find other means for
carrying on the war.” Law declared
ihat the great debt that has already
oeen piled up will strain the resources
of future years and a halt must be
aide somewhere or the strain would
tear the country asunder. “We must
be careful," said he "or we will find
ourselves compelled to measure that
cannot be approached without fear of
a disaster."
We have a large assortment of cards
