THIRTY-EiGHT DIE IN WRECK
Motor Car ard Train Meet Head-On
Near Joplin, Mo.-Coach Tele-
scoped and Catches Fire.

Joplin, Mo-, Aug. 6.-Thirty eight per-
sons were killed and many hurt on
Wednesday when a motor car on the
Missouri & North Arkansas and a pas
senger train on the Kansas City
Southern collided head-on near here.
The cars were splintered and caught
fire. Many charred bodies were
brought to Joplin. The Missouri &
North Arkansas uses the Kansas City
Southern tracks from Joplin to Neosho.
The cars met on a curve. The motor
car, which was going about thirty-five
miles an hour, was telescoped and
took fire. Thirty-fiye charred bodies
were brought to Joplin on a relief
train. The injured have been placed
in joplin hospitals. The motor car is
said to have overrun her orders to
meet the passenger train at Upton
ford. All of the injured, except the
conductor and engineer of the passen-
ger train, were passengers on the mo-
tor car.
The known dead are: Herbert Rat
cliff, Eureka Springs, Ark, engineer

Joins Triple Entente.
Belgium has modified her army and
virtual state of war exists between
that country and Germany. That
pie entente.
Little Holland, with an army of
100000, is likely to be drawn into the
war as an ally of England because of
the invasion of her territory by Ger
many.
Sweden has made no answer to in
quiries from Russia and Germany re-
garding her attitude, but is preparing
to defend her neutrality
Japan May Assist England.
Japan is making ready to live up to
her alliance with Great Britain in the
event of an attack by Germany upon
the British possessions in the far east.
The vital Importance of Belgium in
this war lies in the fact that unless
Germany may move across Belgian
territory, neutralized by treaty, an in
vasion of France would have to be
through the heavily fortified French
frontier proper.
The entire northeastern frontier of
France is, roughly, 440 miles in length.
For distance of about $50 miles this
frontier line separates France from
Belgium and Luxembourg. The remain
der, about 100 miles, separates France
from German territory.

Jane Arson. Her maiden name was
Ellen Louise Arson. She was edu-
Gated by her parents and was grad
uated from Shorter college in Rome,
Ga. Her father was the pastor of the
Presbyterian church in Rome
Married in Birthplace.
In 1885 Thomas Woodrow Wilson,
then a young lawyer, and long a
friend of the Axsons, went to New
York and took Miss Arson back
South with him. They were married
in the parsonage of the Independent
Presbyterian church at Savannah,
where Mrs. Wilson was born.
Mrs. Wilson discharged the duties
of the household without assistance
for more than five years, and even
while mistress of the White House
she took a keen interest in the man
agement of its affairs.
Mrs. Wilson was never socially in
clined. The Wilson's always have
lived simply without flourish. Mrs.
Wilson insisted after she became the
first lady in the land that it was
possible for her to dress in keeping
with the high position which she held
on $1,000 a year. She always de
signed her own dresses and those Of
her three daughters.
During all of her married life Mrs.
Wilson found time to continue at
her painting Her canvasses are in
the Art institute, Chicago, in New
York, Philadelphia and Indianapolis.
But while always attracted toward
art, philanthropy was her hobby.
Shortly after going to Washington
Mrs. Wilson began study of cond-
tons in the poorer districts. Slum-
ming parties were conducted and it
was not long before a change for the
better became evident.
Perhaps the most striking example
of Mrs. Wilson's simplicity and dis
like for society and social functions
was the abandcing of the inaugural
ball and other semi-pub,c affairs
which had been considered part of
the obligations of presidents wife.

clared," were the words which swept
through every household in the city.
Everywhere the people rushed out to
the streets. Almost instantly the
crowds surged toward the royal pal
ace to cheer the kaiser.
"On to Paris!" Resounds.
The fervor of patriotism for the ia
therland was still at white heat when
it became known that a proclamation
had been issued against Belgium.
This brought forth a new wave of pat
riotism.
All day long the excitement Of war
ran rife and every one of the streets
was filled with people.

The Germans charged, but could
not carry the Belgian position and
