ATLANTIC LINER RAMMED
Passengers Given Shakeup and Scare,
But No One is Injured.

While the American liner New York
westbound, was motionless in heavy
fog 400 miles east of Ambrose light
ship, New York, Saturday, the Ham
burg American liner Pretoria, bound
east, ran into her and ripped hole
IL feet high and 80 feet long in her
port side.
The hole is flush with the main deck
and is Is feet above the water line.
So great was the force of the COLI
sion that the Pretoria's anchor was
torn from her bow and left hanging
inside the gap that had been torn in
the New York.
Practically all the passengers on
board both ships were asleep.
Immediately after the collision the
engines on both ships were ordered
full speed astern and passengers came
hurrying to the deck.
The passengers of the New York
were able to reach over and touch the
bow of the Pretoria as she pulled away
from the dangerous position. There
was no panic.
Captain Roberts and Chief Officer
Turner were both on the bridge at the
time of the collision. They assured
the frightened passengers, many O
whom hurried to the starboard side o
the ship, anticipating a list to port
that there was no danger. MEMBER
of the crew also went among the pas
sengers and urged them to be calm.
Fortunately the watch which occu
pied the quarters behind that part o
the ship which was crushed in was Oh
duty in the stokehold. Had the col
lision occurred while this watch wa
off duty a number of lives probabl
would have been lost. The Pretori
was less damaged by the collision thal
the New York. Several of the plate
at her bow were sprung and twisted
After the passengers had been al
sured that they were in no DANCE
they began to laugh and joke over tn
queer costumes in which some of tn
travellers appeared on deck. The pa
sengers refused to return to the
cabins until daylight. After it wa
determined that neither of the ship
were in danger OF sinking they pr
ceeded on their way.

BIG FLOOD IN PARIS
CAUSE GREAT LOSS OF LIFE AND
MUCH DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY.
SEVERAL GREAT WATERMAINS BURST
Roadways Collapse and Many Are Car
ried to Death-Sas Adds to Horror
Explosion Follows Broken Pipe
and People Flee in Fear.

Paris = A thunderstorm of phenom-
email violence ragged over Paris for
three hours Monday night. 1t caused
loss of life and enormous damage to
property
The rain flooded the streets and
caused the bursting of sewers. In the
central fashionable quarter of the city
a street caved in, engulfing several
pedestrians. The number of victims
is not known, owing to the danger of
approaching the immense pits result
ing from the collapse of sidewalks and
roadways. The police estimate the
victims at seven at least.
The most serious cavein occurred at
the junction of the Rue la Beetle and
the Fauborg Saint Honore. When the
storm was at its height 500 square
feet of the roadway heaved up and
sank carrying with it a number of
persons who had taken shelter under
the awning of a cafe. Water spurted
from the broken mains, and, added to
torrents from teh skies, converted the
district into a veritable river. Gas
mains, telephone wires and the cleo
trical supply were broken off.

Rebs Short on Timber.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-The three South
American mediators formally advised
General Carranza by telegraph Tues
day they would not admit his dele
gates to the conference here unless an
armistice were declared, and internal
as well as international phases of the
Mexican problem accepted as the
scope of mediation.
This action followed the receipt of
note from Rafael Zubaran, special
representative of Carranza, in Wash
ington, announcing the appointment of
Fernando Iglesias Calderon, Luis Cab
nationalist delegates to the mediation,
at which, according to the view of the
constitutionalist chief, 'it is sought to
settle the international conflict which
has arisen between the United States
and the Mexican republic"
Can't Agree on President.
The Carranza communications were
barely mentioned at the conference
Monday, which was devoted to the
question of selecting a provisional
president to succeed General Huerta
1t was the third day of discussion
and was as fruitless as previous meet
ings.
During the next three days there will
be no formal conferences. More econ
versations," as the informal parleys
are officially designated, will be held
but it is becoming more apparent daily
that the two sets of delegates are fan
apart. Huerta's delegates are insist
ing that neutral" be named.
Senior Rabasa intimated that he die
not believe the constitutionalists haC
man of prominence who could sat
isfy the wishes of many people in th'
territory controlled by Huerta, bu
nevertheless showed a willingness t.
consider all who may be suggested.

VILLA GETS PEEVEO
OBJECTS TO APPOINTMENT BY
GEN. CARRANZA IN NEW
MILITARY ZONE.
50 HE QUITS THE REBEL ARMY
Chihuahua City, Juarez and Torreon
Offices Taken by Villas Men
Custom House and Treasury Also
in Charge of His Men.

Ell Paso.-General Villa, through his
agents here, issued a general denial
Wednesday that there had been any
split between himself and General Car
rama. He said that the arrest of the
Carranza officials at Juarez had been
the result of a misrepresentation Of
orders on the part of Colonel Tomas
Ornelas, in charge of the Juarez gar
rison.
The First Report.
Ell Paso, Texas.-General Villa has
rendered his resignation to General
Carranza. To Villas message the con-
stitutionalist commander in chief re-
piled, asking who would succeed him.
General villa ordered all command
ers of garrisons throughout the terri
tory he controls to report at once at
Torreon.
Carranza's offices at Juarez were
confiscated by Villa supporters Tues
day Similar confiscations are anthem
tically reported to have taken place at
Chihuahua City and at Torreon, where
Villa remained. This places the en-
tire northern part of Mexico in the
power of Villas military leaders.
The customs house and the treasury
department at Juarez has been con
fiscated by Villas officers.
Although Villas persistent military
successes had occasioned speculation
regarding his relations with Carranza
the matter did not receive serious con
sideration until the appointment by
Carranza of General Panfilio Matters
as commander of a newly created mill
tary zone.

Exit the "Cattle King"

The cattle ranges of the west have
made way for fenced farms and the
supply Of cattle has been cut down
to the point at which America is now
importing cattle from Argentina and
Australia, where there is still plenty
of range for cattle.
The cattle king has passed from the
scene in the United States, but the
importation of cattle has not served
to reduce the market for animals on
the hoof to a level at which cattle
raising is not profitable to American
farmers.
Very high prices are paid nova
days for all meat animals. Farmers
were never more in need OF cattle as
| fertilizing agent than they are at
present. Land was never more IN
need of rest from grain crops. The
profits of feeding cattle are not found
wholly in the difference between the
cost Of the cattle plus the feed and
their sale value. The manure value
is large, and every scientific agrlcul-
turist is preaching soil building as
as the only opportunity OF the farmer
in America. The farms are growing
smaller and land is growing higher
in price. It must be made to pro-
duce more per acre. There is Eu-
ropean agricultural proverb when
says: "No pasture. no cattle; no cat
tie, no manure; no manure, no crops.
For a long time American farmers
did not realize the necessity for con-
stantly renewing the fertility OF the
soil. The results were decreased
profits, depleted soil and, in some In
stances, abandoned farms.
The passing Of the cattle ranges
; and the undiminished value OF cattle
offer the small farmer his opportunl
ty. Cattle constitute an important
| factor in profitable farming. Austria
, liam ranches cannot make cattle-rais
| ing profitless in America. and Amerl
can farms cannot be properly oper
ated continuously without cattle.

Warrensburg State
Normal School

Wants the young men and young
women.
The State needs them.
The public schools in Missouri EN-
ploy 10, 700 teachers.
Whatever the crops, the schools
must have teachers.
The State is making schools better
and teaching more remunerative.
Under the laws enacted 1913 the
sum Of 1888, 400. 90 from the general
revenue fund was used for the bet
ter payment of teachers in rural
schools, rural and town high schools,
and Teacher Training high schools.
Teaching is appealing to the strong
young men and young women. 1t is
we'll established that the professional
preparation of teacher is good
preparation for life work in any pro-
fession.
Warrensburg offers the very best
opportunities for both an education
and professional preparation at the
same time.
President Wilson's remarkable ut
terance "The large thing to do is the
/ only thing we can do" expresses the
policy of this school in the preparation
Of teachers.
The school enrolled 1900 students
last year. All who met the prepare
ton to teach have positions. There
were not enough to meet all the calls.
There should be an attendance OF
5000 this year. The State will need
that many teachers from this school.
