On last Saturday afternoon, at
the Southern Pacific depot, a
rather peculiar and unusual acci
dent happened. AS a freight
train was pulling into the yard
the locomotive twisted IN two one
of the shafts of her driving
wheels. The wheel promptly
left the track in an effort to mount
the boiler The engine became
helpless. Another engine came to
her assistance and, after some
tugging, managed to get the
damaged driver back upon the
ground. When it was free of it's
connecting rods it fell flat, and ten
men could not raise its weight
again. The crippled engine was
pulled on to a side track.

Chicago, Feb. l5.-''lt Is extremely
probable that the United States and
each of the great powers will do actual
fighting before this war is over. The

Dr. Tyokichi Iyenaga, formerly a
secretary in the foreign department OF
the Japanese government. made the
above prediction.
Or. lyenaga has just completed a
series OF lectures in Chicago under the
auspices of the University OF Chicago.
He said:
.'All along | have been saying that
the United States and England should
Join with Japan in settling this Far
Eastern question in the interests or
modern progressive civilization. The
United States has done just what
Japan has wanted. President Roose-
welt and Secretary Hay, by proposing
to limit the question, have taken
very strong stand. The only way to
prevent a general war in which all
the nations would be fighting will be
to carry out the proposal which has
been made by the United States.
