As ARE DROWNED IN
FRISCO PASSENGER CAR
Twenty-Six Bodies Taken From the
Wreck at Lebanon, Mo.-Rain Had
Undermined Rails.

Springfield, Mo-, Sept. 17.-Between
thirty-five and forty-five persons were
killed and a-score of others injured
Tuesday when the locomotive, bag
gage car and forward car of ST. Louis
& San Francisco train No. 8 plunged
down an embankment into gully
near Lebanon, Mo, and were sub
merged by the swollen stream.
Most of the dead were drowned in
the chair car and great number OF
these were women and children.
Thoes who were able to escape from
their watery prison fought their way
out by breaking windows and swim
ming to safety. 1t is estimated there
were sixty-five passengers in the chair
car.
The names of the identified dead
are as follows:
Henry Wagner, Harrison, Ark.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rosteter, Alliance, o.
w. H. Childress, Billings, Mo.
John Meyers, wife and daughter,
Thayer, Mo.
The Texas limited was one OF the
best equipped trains on the Frisco
railroad.
One man in the chair car lost his
wife and five children. When the &C
cident occurred he was thrown clear
of the descending chair car and swan
to shore. In the submerged car his
wife and children met their deaths,
while he stood near by unable to aid
them.
One of the passengers in the sub
merged chair car was Miss Mona
Campbell, nurse of ST. Louis. She
broke a window and climbed ont %
the side of the car.
According to reports received at
Frisco offices, 26 bodies have been re-
covered.

The extent of the Russian reverses
in East Prussia is not yet definitely
known. Petrograd dispatches deny
that the situation is anything like as
bad as the Berlin reports would in
dictate. The German version is set
forth In the following wireless dis
patches from Berlin:
General Won Hindenberg (the Ger
man commander in East Prussia) has
telegraphed Emperor William that the
Wilma (Russian) army, consisting of
the First, Third, Fourth and Twenti-
eth corps, two reserve divisions and
i've cavalry divisions, have been COM
pletely defeated. The Russian casual
ties are heavy. The number of pris-
oners is increasing and the destruc-
ton of the army continues.
Enormous spoils of war have been
captured"
Announce Capture of Maubeuge.
Berlin has officially announced that
the fall of Maubeuge took place on
September 9, with 400 guns and 10000
prisoners.
President Answers Protest.
Responding to Emperor Williams
protest agains THE France-British
armies alleged use of dumdum bull
let's and to the Belgian commissions
presentation of atrocity charges
against the German troops, president
Wilson made virtually identical re
plies. The keynotes of his answer
was:
1T would be inconsistent with the
neutral position of any nation, which,
like this, has no part in the contest,
to form or express a final judgment"

turns issued, show that the cost to

Berlin in Gloom as Death List Is Read
The Berlin correspondent of the
New Rotterdam Courant writes: "The
most gloomy sight to be seen these
days is the daily death list in the dig
nified Kriegs Zeitung The families Of
officers there learn of the blows that
have fallen upon them. In the last
few days this newspaper has pub
lished announcements of the deaths of
so officers. Every evening powerful
families are eXtinguished. 1t is an
endless misery, which is borne with
the greatest resignation"
