Might. Intelligence and righteousness

II. Is the Joy of our country that In the
conception of her constitution and the
foundation of her civilization a place was
found for all these. The fort. the school
and the church were found in each colo
NAL settlement. and the new nation was
but the natural offspring of their infiu-
ences.
True patriotism Is not born III one
alone, but in all together, and ii Is the
pride Of our nation that not only il her
power used intelligently. but always in a
righteous cause.
Such a day as yesterday is dear TO all
loyal citizens of this land. 1t tells them
their heritage is q noble one. because OF
those noble men who gave themselves I'm

US also that the fire of patriotism burns
brightly in thousands and millions OF
hearts as never before. Is not God doing
for us now as He has wrought for us In
the past?
IT is not platitude for us TO say this is
Gods country. The term Is individual
but not exclusive. This is Gods countr.
because here are found certain elements

: o'clock at Takoma Junction on Bright
wood avenue. opposite the Army General
Hospital grounds. a number of passen-
gers narrowly escaped serious injury.
The car was in charge Of Conductor
L. 2. Brock and Motorman B. B. Isaac.
1t left the loop at 40 o'clock and was
due at the junction at $50 O'Clock. The
car was comparatively well filled. and as
is the custom. proceeded over the switch
at the junction before stopping. The
switch was properly set for the Forest
Glen car. and the front wheels of the
forward truck passed over in safety, but
1t is stated the switch was Jared and
when the wheels of the rear truck
reached it the switch was set for Takoma
Park The rear truck stuck to the Ia
konla tracks for distance of several
feet and then swung out into the road
the rails and become imbedded between
the tracks. at the same time blocking
both the north and south bound tracks.
Wrecking Crew Gets Busy.
Word was sent to the car barn at
Brightwood and at 4 O'Clock the wrecking
crew. with the aid of jacks and ropes.

few minutes later the first cars were sent
through from the terminus of the road

the passengers transferring at the scene
of the accident. Division Superintendent

which support the trunk lines in addi-
ton to the crossover wires at the junction
and a large arc lamp.
The accident was the second of the kind
to happen at the point in question in
less than a year 4 similar happening
occurred last August to a District line

trolley pole and the demolishing of the
waiting station. The latter was SO badly
damaged that it was hauled away and
