NEW NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

London, Dec. S.-The super-dread
naught cruiser Lion, now nearing
completion at the Devonport dock
yard, vii be the fastest Of it's class
in the world if she makes good on
her speed trials. At the present mo-
ment Germany holds the record for
dreadnaught speed.
Recently, at her speed trials, the
battleship Moltke made 29.5 knots.
1t is expected at the Admiralty that
the Lion, in spite of her displacement
of 26,350 tons, will make better than
80 knots. The new ship is ESQ feet
long carries eight 1875 inch guns,
besides smaller ordnance, and 10000
horsepower engines.

AIolestation of Americans will not

firmly represented TO both rebels
and imperialists.
This government is party to a
"sentleman's agreement" tacitly OBJ
served, with other powers, however,
to. observe most strict impartiality
between the two Chinese factions.
Delicacy of the situation is intense,
the State department is advised. An
anti-foreign demonstration, with both
Chinese forces turning upon the fer
eispers in wholesale massacre, is
deemed certain to follow the least
meddling by any power. This is the
reason. it is stated, that no offers for
mediation have been made by the
powers.

MANY PERSONS
ARE INJURED.
Collision on Washinglon-V Virginia
RaiIway---WOrk Train Strikes
Passenger Car.
THREE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
C!ark,s station scene of ACcident-Al
the seriously injured residents OF
AlexandrIa County.

About $50 o'clock this morning,
heavy work train on the Falls Church
branch Of the Washington-Virginia
Railway Company, crashed into the
rear end of car filled with passen-
gers at Clark's Station, injuring 3
men, and severely shaking up the
other forty passengers.
That persons on the rear platform
Of the car filled with passengers were
not killed or fatally injured was prob
ably due to the fact that the forward
car had just started ahead from the
station, and had gained sufficient mo-
mentum to break the force Of the inn
pact.
The injured are George Browbeer,
26 years old, a steam filter of Balls
ton, back wrenched and sprained and
head cut.
William G. Restorff, SO years old,
an employe of the Bureau Of Engrav-
ing and Printing, living at Clareu-
don, injury to hip and laceration of
scalp.
Benjamin Thomas. colored, of Re-
lee, lacerated scalp.
The three men were taken to Wash
ington on another car and placed il
the Emergency Hospital.
According to officials Of the COM
pany, the accident was caused by Err
nest Cook, motorman on the work
train, losing control of the car. There
is a down grade at Clark's Station,
and the train, filled with crushed
stone used for ballasting the tracks,
gained speed at every revolution of
the wheels. The brakes refused to
work, and Cook was unable to stop
the car.
The work train struck the passen-
ger car with terrific force, and had
it been standing still at the time the
rear car would probably have teles-
coped it. All of the passengers, most
of them Government employees, on
their way TO work in Washington,
were thrown from their seats. Sever
al women became hysterical, and
there was rush for the doors fol-
lowing the smashup.
The three men who were injured
were standing on the rear platform
They were hurled through the door
and against the woodwork, the plat
fern being demolished.
C1ark's Station, the scene of tire
wreck, Is abo"t a mile from the south
end Of the Highway Bridge.
Both cars were badly smashed and
traffic on the line was tied up for half
an hour.
Several serious accidents have oc-
cured during the last few years on
the electric lines in Alexandria coun-
ty now controlled by the Washington
Virginia company. About three years
ago there was a head-on collision
near Pcsslyn, in which two persons
lost their lives.

I Don't Have

To tell you where the home seekers are going. Recall the South Highlands a few years ago and then check up the developments already eff fected. At the present rate of progress, it will soon be impos- sible to get a desirable home or lot in the shadow of beautiful Red Mountain.
 Get "there" first. Go ahead of the crowd and have some thing to offer them when they reach you. The love of Nature lures folks to the Highlands. Highland avenues invitation has been accepted and folks have moved in.'
 I still have sites for many beautiful homes so located that when you inspect them and grasp their advantages at the low prices, you can actually see your profit. Be ready for the fall movement and have something the people want. If you think there won't be a demand, you have another think a-coming.
