Severely Injured When Strewn About New London, Conn., Aug. 6.—While attempting to avoid a rear end colli- sion with another machine, a one-ton automobile truck crashed into a tour- ing car at Westchester grade cross- ing on the Hartford-New London Military Highway yesterday morning and John Jasper, 27 years old, was killed when the truck overturned. Nine other young men were on the truck, bound from Hartford, where they lived, for Ocean Beach, this city. They were thrown to the roadway. Ambulances quickly responded from Hartford and New London and the injured were taken to . St Francis's hospital, Hartford. Only two of those hurt were found to have suffered severe injuries, the rest receiving only bruises and a shak- ing up. The accident occurred on a steep hill. The fact that the wreck took place on th ecrossing of the railroad line between Colchester an Anniston, led to the report that several persons had been billed by a train. Coroner J. J. Desmond of Norwich, after tak- ing evidence, alowed the body of Jas- per to be removed to Hartford. The touring car was driven by Louis Solomon of Colchester. He was acompanied by his father and brother, but the three of them escaped without a scratch. Their auto, however, was wrecked. 900 OFFICERS RETIRED By The Associated Press, Tokio, Aug. 6.—Retirement of nine hundred army officérs of all ranks in accordance with the military adjust- ment scheme was announced here.to- day.
