TWO PASSENGER
TRAINS WRECKED
MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY PERISH IN HEAD-ON
COLLISION.
Nashville, Tenn.—The total number
of identified and unidentified dead
from a head-on collision between two
fast passenger trains on the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis rail
way at Harding station, five miles
west of Nu8hviile, has reached 126.
Rescue parties are still recovering
bodies from the wreckage and many
of the seriously injured in the hospi
tals are dying hourly. The total num
ber of dead probably wifi, reach 150.
The total number of injured Is now
estimated at 75 and many of these
are said to be at the point of death
in the various hospitals.
Both engines reared and fell on
either side of the track, masses of
twisted iron and steel, while the fear
ful Impact of the blow drove the ex
press car of the north bound train
through the loaded wooden coaches,
telescoping the smoking car in front
and piling high the two cars behind
it, both packed to the aisles with ne
groes en route to the powder plant
here, and about 150 other regular pas
sengers.
The scene immediately after the
collision is indescribale. Those es
caping unhurt or with lesser injuries
fled in panic. The cornfield on both
sides of the track was trampled by
many feet and littered with fragments
of iron and wood from the demolished
care. The dead lay here and there.
The dying moaned appeals for aid
or, speechless, rolled their heads from
side to side and writhed In agony.
Everywhere there was suffering and
chaos. ,
All morning attention centered
about the telescoped smoking car on
the outbound train, crews working
hard to raise with jacks the heavy
body of the express coach, beneath
which were pinned or crushed most
of the white victims. In one of the
seats, his body held as in a vise, sat
one of the passengers, still conscious,
but with three of the dead crushed
against him. The side of the car was
chopped away and the man released,
apparently in a dying condition.
Of the train crews five are dead,
including the engineers and firemen
of both trains, and the baggagemaster
of train No. 1.
Fortunately fire played no part in
piling up the horrors of the day, a
slight blaze at the end of one of the
coaches being almost instantly extin
guished.

ALLIES DEFENDING
THE MURMAN COAST
RAILROADS AND ICE FREE PORT
OF KOLA BEING PROTECTED
FROM BOLSHEVIKI.
London.—Measures taken by the al
lies to aid non-Bolshevik Russians on
the Murman coast and protecting the
Murman railroad and the ice free port
of Kola are summarized by the Daily
Express from Russian newspapers.
While the Bolsheviki opposed the
landing of allied troops, and even
agreed to trade ihe Murman coast to
Finland, the local population has de
cided to join the allies and secede
from the Bolsheviki.
The first , allied intervention oc
curred early in April, when Finnish
White Guards, assisted by Germans,
faced the Red Guards at Kem. The
Red Guards were reinforced by an An
glo-French detachment that had come
up on an armored train. The next
Russian report mentions the landing
of a force of British marines to co
operate in the defense of the coast.
Defensive measures were said to be
under the leadership of three men, a
Russian, a Britain and a Frenchman.
Two British and one French war
ship and some British trawlers were
in the harbor of Kola in addition to a
Russian squadron. A report rrom the
committee of the White Sea fleet to
the Russian naval commissioner in
Moscow, pripied in a Russian paper,
said that Kemp (assumed to be Rear
Admiral Kemp of the British navy)
had decided that there was no aggres
sive design regarding the Murmansk
region, only a desire to help the Rus
sian republic and protect the coast
and the railroad. He also offered to
assist in developing the local fisheries.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Copenhagen, quotes German papers
as saying that there are 25,000 Bolshe
vik troops left on Kola Peninsula.
A new provisional government for
Siberia, which has the unanimous sup
port of the population and which will
continue to fight the central powers,
has been established, at Vladivostok.
According to a Times dispatch from
Tokyo, quoting the Vladivostok corre
spondent of the Asahi, the new gov
ernment intends to summons a con
stituent assembly and to restore law
and order throughout the country.

New York.—Germany has begun a
new campaign for peace with the old
gang of militarists still in control of
the Hohenzollern empire.
Chancellor von Hertling has been
pushed forward to assure ihe western
world while German diplomacy is pil
fering all it can in Eastern Europe.
The patter of the Kaiser's spokesman
has ever been made to include a re
pudiation oi any intention by Gee
many to hold Belgium after the war.
Instead, however, of offering to
give up the western loot unreserved
ly, as an evidence of contrition, Von.
Herltnig demands that the allies must
bargain over the restoration of Bel
gium's independence.
Bargaining necessitates the recog
nition of the right of the German
militarists to participation in delibe
rations over conditions to govern Bel
gium's future. If any conditions are
allowed the militarists will not have
been defeated. Militarism's defeat
.mplies its first essential the uncon
ditional and undebatabie evacuation
of Belgian territory by the German. !
taristic spirit insolenetly intimates j
army. Von Hertling is trying to
evade this issue, and in the true iriiii
that Belgium is being held as a host
ge for the western democracies to
ransom. The kaiser cannot succeed
with that kind of camouflage. Amer
ica is in the war to prevent it.
Von Kuehlmann's enforced retire
ment from the foreign secretaryship
because of his public disavowal of
Germany's ability to win peace on
the battlefield shows the spirit which
is back of Von Hertling's peace drive.
The same childish attempts at deceit
still characterize German diplomacy
Repudiation of Von Kuehlmann by
the militarists is accompanied by pro
testations that the lords of Germany's
destiny have no imperialistic am tui
tions. With such clumsy tactics as
these revealing the truth, it is im
possible for the world's democracies
to be led into a peace trap of Ger
many's making.
Reports of the illness and death or
Von Hindenburg recently probably
have originated in the continued in
activity of the German armies. Wheth
er or not Von Hindenburg is dead
physically, his reputation as the con
queror of Western Europe is rapidly
nearing destruction. His name has
mysteriously disapeared from com
ment in Germany. The shadow be
gan to make its appearance simultan
eously with the announcement of rfie
uninterrupted arrival of Americans in
France by the hundreds of thousands.
Every week Von Hindenburg has
delayed his fifth offensive has meant
the reinforcement of the allies by
from 60,000 to 100,000 fresh Ameri
cans. No wonder disillusionment is
beginning to arise concerning the ef
fectiveness of Von Hindenburg's
strategy of slaughter. If Von Hind
enburg Is not dead there are enough
Germans who are to drive the lesson
.home.
The most dangerous policy the Ger
man war lords can accept would be
another offensive gamble. Victory fs
made wholly impossible for them by
the presence in France of America s
armies. Yet if a new drive is not
forthcoming the former ones of this
fateful year are proved vain and con
demn Von Hindenburg as Germany's
evil genius. Perhaps, scenting Von
Hindenburg's waning popularity, the
German leaders are inspiring reports
of his death to abserve the reaction
upon German public opinion. If thh
public shows no regret there may be
no more German offensives, whether
Von Hindenburg is dead or alive.

HOW SNAKES HELP FARMER
Man Who Knows Points Out How
Valuable to the Tiller of the
Soil Are Hi« Services.
Snakes are a valuable asset and
there shotild be a campaign against
j killing them, writes Gayne T. K. Nor
ton* in the American Forestry Maga
; zine. The article goes on to show
what the shake does for food conser
j vution by ways of killing rodents add
I insects, the greatest enemies to grain
j that man knows. The public has be
come acquainted with snakes as never
j before, writes Mr. Norton, because of
j the thousands who huve been engaged
! in the campaign for war gardens that
lgis been conducted by the national
emergency food garden commission.
"With this summer the millions of
war gardens have given the suake pop
ular interest. Tremendously increased
tillage lias brought people and snakes
together.
"Unless much education work is
done the number of snakes that will
lie killed next year by the well-mean
ing but misinformed gardeners will be
very large. Our snakes are a national
asset worth many millions of dollars
and should be conserved. The rela
tion they bear to successful crops is
important—more important than even
the average farmer realizes."
All men are born without wisdom
and some never outgrow It.
