400 VICTIMS OF
RAILROAD WRECK
Three Trains Collide at Gretna,
England.
70 BODIES ARE RECOVERED
One Train Contained Troops and Elk.
Plodln0 Cartridges In Belts Added
To the Danger-FIre Adds
To Horror.

Carlisle, England.-One of the most
disastrous wrecks in the annals of
British railroading took place on the
Caledonian Railway at Gretna, near
this city, when three trains came into
collision.
No fewer than rs persons were killed
and the final list may be considerably
greater, for 1t is believed that many
persons sustained fatal injuries. The
total casualties probably will reach
400, as the list of more or less seri-
ously injured is very numerous.
One of the three trains was a troop
train; another was a local and the
third was the express from London to
Glasgow.
Fire broke out in the wreckage and
added appallingly to the horror of the
scene.
The adjoining fields soon had the
appearance of an immense mortuary,
with the dead, the dying and the in
jured laid out in gruesome ranks.
Most OF Dead Soldiers.
The dead mostly are soldiers. The
troop train collided first with local
from Carlisle, and before the occu-
pants were able to get clear of the
wreckage of thds accident the express
from London to Glasgow crashed into
them. The result was terrifying
Locomotives and cars, shattered and
splintered, were hurled about in con-
fusion.
Fire broke out and spread with
great rapidity through the wreckage
1t was soon burning so fiercely that
the men engaged in the work of rescue
were driven back.
81 Out OF 500 Respond.
Five hundred men of one regiment
were on the troop train. When the
roll was called after the wreck only
So officers and men responded. Mum
bers of others, however, were engaged
in caring for their wounded comrades.
Some of the victims were so man
gled that their rescue from the wreck
age was impossible. Several others
who were extricated died soon after

WHY ITALY HAS
GONE TO WAR
She May Now Recover Her
Lost Provinces.
MATTER OF NATIONAL PRIDE
Big Fleet Available - Territory
Asked About 5000 Square
Miles, With 100000
Population.

The entrance of Italy into the world
war, which began last August, brings
the number of states engaged in the
conflict up to IL. Italy, allied with
Germany and Austria-Hungary since
1882 in the Triple Alliance, was called
upon last summer shortly after the
assassination of the Austrian Crown
Prince at Saraezo, Bosnia, to support
the Germanic empires. She declined
and there began series Of diplomatic
negotiations which soon resolved
themselves into efforts on the part of
Germany and Austria-Hungary to in
duce Italy to remain neutral.
Prince Won Buelow, an astute Ger
man statesman, whose wife is an
Italian woman, was sent to Rome with
instructions to do his utmost to save
the situation. He lAbored indefatigably
for months, but in vain. He offered
Italy certain parts of Austrian terri
tory as the price of her neutrality, but
her answer was always, ut is not
enough" 1t now appears that Austria
did not really believe that Italy would
enter the field against her.
In the meantime there had arisen in
Italy war party, led by the "Irredent-
lists" which made its voice heard in
no uncertain terms. Dispatches from
Rome for months past have indicated
that the sentiment for active participa.
ton in the war was stronger by far
than that on the side of continued neu-
rality.
For months the diplomatic ex-
changes between Vienna and Rome
had been constant, but the most per-
sistent efforts of the diplomats to keep
Italy out of the war were futile The
Triple Alliance was denounced by
Italy on May 4. but even after this
diplomatic endeavors were continued
Austria offering Italy further conces-
sions as late as May 10,
Large Forces On Italian Front.
Italy's first move on land undoubt-
edly will be against the Austrian from
tier. Large numbers of her troops are
modified in this territory, and the
forces of Austria-Hungary are lined up
on the other side of the boundary The
very mountainous character of the
Terrain where the opposing armies
face each other, the southern part of
the Austrian Alps, promises operations
and fighting of the most difficult
nature.
So far as known, the Italian fleet is
mostly in the Adriatic, under the com.
mand Of the Duke of the Abruzzi, who
is known to many Americans through
his visits to the United States some
10 years ago. 1t is generally believed
that the feet will proceed promptly
against the naval strength of Austria
in these waters.
To Regain "Unredeemed Italy"
One great purpose of Italy in enter
ing the war is to gain possession oi
"Unredeemed Italy" sweep of Aus
trian territory to the north and east
near the head of the Adriatic Sea
This region, which includes Trent ant
Trieste, is Italian in all but nationality
To attain it has long been her cherish
ed ambition.
