THE HONOR OF THE UNIFORM.

IN several occasions soldiers and sailors of
the United States have been excluded from
public places for no other apparent reason
than. that they were in uniform. In several
cases the War Department or the Navy De
partment has come to the support of the
offended soldier or sailor.

obtainable at the ministry Of justice. but
the average has been steadily gaining ever

WAS A NARROW ESCAPE
ACCIDENT BARELY
AVERTED ON RAILROAD.

What narrowly escaped being serious
accident, 1t is declared. occurred yester-
day about 1910 o'clock on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad at Fenwick station near
Silver Spring, Nd. when the Chicago Of
press, going at high rate OF speed. was
partly derailed by the spreading Of a tire
on the front wheel of the tender.
When the accident occurred the front
truck of the tender jumped the rails and
the wheels tore over the ties for about
400 yards before the engineer could bring
the train to a standstill. The ties over
which the wheels ran were splintered.
On account of the rate Of speed of the
train 1t was considered a marvel that all
of the crowded passenger coaches were not
derailed.
Fenwick station Is about seven and one
quarter miles outside Of this city. The ex-
press was due here at 1870 pm.
Most of the several hundred passengers
on the train fiocked out of the coaches after
cradle delay was probable. many of them
walked down the track to the Brightwood
electric road, a distance Of about quarter
of mile, and then embarked on street cars
for this city. Several timid ones who were
on the train did not care to trust them-
selves further to the railroad, preferrins
the street cars ~
Other passengers, bound to points beyonG
WASHINGTON were transferred to iocai

hour later and were brought to this city.

Peace Talk.

BERLIN, August 10.-There is a feeling
here that the peace conference at The
Hague is largely Of the nature of a fiasco
1t is argued that the representatives of
forty-seven states remained in session for
weeks and weeks discussing the question
of International peace without results
Academic questions have been discussed at
academic length. but when 1t comes right
down to details 1t has appeared impossible
to secure unanimous action. Unanimity
can always be secured for q wide or gen.
eral statement no matter what the Ques-
ton. but when 1t comes to anything really
bearing upon the problems OF armament or
disarmament a careful analysis of all Of
the resolutions presented shows that they
have been drawn in fashion almost use
less and meaningless.

Essen Chamber of Commerce for 1909
