Increase in Army
Areo Corps Sought

Declaring that the time is not far dis
tant when because Of the growing int
portance of the aeroplane as an en-
eine of war. the United States may
have to establish its aerial corps as a
big and separate division of its fight
ing forces, Brig. Gen. George 3
Scriven, chief signal officer. U. 8. A,
has appealed to Congress for means by
which to develop and increase the pres
ent aerial outfit of the army.
The situation is critical" he says In
statement prepared for Congress,
"and the army must, for its own pro.
lection. train a sufficient number OF
its officers in the handling OF its aero
PLANES. The army must look to itself
and to the men of the organized militia
to supply a reasonable number of of.
ficers for military aviation in case of
necessity. The necessity may arise at
any moment.
NO doubt the development of the
navigation of the air is something new
under the SUM- but it promises to as
sumo enormous proportions. Few
doubt that we are on the verge OF de-
yeloping a great new science

THREE KILLED, 45
INJURED IN WRECK
Two Electric Trains Collide on
Long IsIand-SteeI Cars Save
Many Lives.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2o.-Crashing
head-on while travelling at a rate of
twenty miles an hour. two electric
trains on the Long Island railroad were
wrecked at College Point. Long Island,
early today, resulting in the death of
three trainmen and the injury of forty
five passengers. That the death list
was not greater is due to the fact that
the cars of both trains were of steel
construction and withstood the shock.
One of the trains was bound for New
York and the other for Whitestone.
The New York train was loaded with
commuters. and the first car was ripped
open :bout halfway back. Even this
car did not topple over, however.
Motormen Crushed to Death.
Fred Loeder and Charles Muerlein,
motormen of the two trains. were
crushed to death in their compartments
at the front of their cars. George
Boreckel. a conductor on another train.
who was on his way to work. also was
killed. John Marx, a quartermaster on
the liner Lusitania, living at White
stone. was taken to the Flushing Hos
pital in a serious condition.
Among those injured on the New
York train were many women. who
were hurried to private homes or cared
for at the hospitals. Ten policemen en-
route to New York for the Gaynor
funeral were painfully cut and bruised.
but all took an active part in direct
ing the work of rescue.
Misunderstanding of Orders.
The wrecked trains were No. I'll. in
bound to New York, and No. sos. east
bound from New York to Whitestone.
The Whitestone train had just passed
the station and, rounding a curve. the
New York train could be seen rush
ing on. not more than a block away.
There was no chance for either motor
man to bring his train to a stop and
they crashed together with a roar, pill
ing the cars in q heap at the side OF
the track.
When ambulances reached the scene
the injured had been dragged from
the wreckage By other passengers and
had been given the little attention that
was possible.
a misunderstanding Of orders is said
to have been responsible for the wreck.

THE question has not yet been en-
