view of No. 2. The horses had cleared
the track just before No. 2 struck the
bus. The driver could not hear the
approaching train because he was in
side the bus.
The sight that met the eyes of u
citizens was more horrible than words
can describe. The bus was smashed
to fine bits and the bodies scattered
along the tracks for a considerable
distance. The five boys and the driver
were either killed instantly or died be-
fore they were carried from the Gene.
Willard, the nine year old son of Har-
ry Arnold, was. thrown up onto the
pilot of the engine where he was found
as soon as the train could be brot to a
halt, just west of the station. He was
still living but unconscious. One leg
and his collar bone were broken and he
is injured SO badly that doctors say
there is little chance for his recovery.
| The six dead bodies were taken at
once to the Calnan morgue where they
will be prepared for burial. It is pre-
sumed that a joint funeral will be held
here Sunday which will be the saddest
day in the history of Berthold.
No. 2 stopped for half an hour and
the train crew assisted in removing
the bodies. The crew expressed great
sorrow over the happening, for which
they are held entirely blameless by
everyone.
Word was sent to the homes of the
victims and within a short time the
heartbroken parents, brothers and sis.
tiers arrived. All of Berthold turned
out to lend what assistance could be
given but u citizens were %powerless
to do much. Berthold and its country
side have been struck dumb by this
terrible calamity. Words of SYM
pathy are pouring in from the neigh
boring towns.
The children were all sons of prom
inent farmers living near Berthold.
Harry Arnold, whose 7 and 9 yea--old
sons were victims, lives t~hree-fourths
of a mile west of Berthold. His farm
joins our TOWNSHIP.
o. A. Hagen, who lost two lads, 8
and 10 years old, resides three miles
south of town.
Hudson Miller, father of the two
boys 10 and IA years of age, lives two
and a half miles south from town.
The driver, John Ahern, is 81 years
of age and single. His mother lives
three miles south of Berthold.
The boys were all to have taken
part in the Christmas exercises which
had been planned to be held next
week. Berthold will not celebrate the
holiday season in the usual way, for
the plans for the celebrations have

Willard Arnold is still alive. He
has regained consciousness and recog-

called for water and is coughing up
blood. The doctors are unable to de-
termine just how badly he has been
hurt. One leg and his collar bone
have been broken. Willard was car

SOCIALISTS Define
Their WAR attitude
Saxon Paper Indicates That
Italy Had Strong Argument
Against Her Former Allies
NATION NOT FOR
LAND AGGRESSION

LEIPZIG, Germany. June 25.-
While most German papers have COM
bined to throw discredit npon Italy's
reasons for intervening in the war.
the Leipziger Volkszeitung. which is
widely circulated in Germany, has
reached a remarkably unbiased view
of the Italian position.
In an article written prior TO the
meeting OF the Italian Parliament, 1t
pointed out TO It's readers that the
Italian people did not believe they
were going to wage a war Of con-
quest. Three times lad Italy been
compelled to look on az the aggrand-
isement of her neighbors. While they
had expanded in the west and in the
east, she had remained confined to
the peninsula, and hence was losing
relatively. in Importance. Only once,
in 1911, had she gained a colony that
could not even be compared to Moroc-
co. which fell into the hands or
France. Should the central powers
win, the Socialist paper further point
ed out, italian Nationalists feared
that Italy would be punished for
her refusal to fight on their side. and
she would be permanently excluded
from Asia Minor, which had become
German sphere OF influence, by
the alliance between Turkey and the
central powers. In Asia Minor and in
the Balkans. however, Italian nation
alism saw ideal places ror colonial
settlements and a rapidly growing
market for Italian trade. De-
spite the efforts made by the German
press 10 open Italys eyes to the Rus
sian danger, she was OF the opinion
that with the acquisition or Cnnstan-
tinople and Eastern Galicia. the linn
its of Russian expansion would have
been reached and she would not ex-
ceed these at the risk or destroying
the preponderanCe OF RE Great Rus
sion element and sinking into nation
al chaos.
After thus conveying to the public
In the form Of a statement of italian
Nationalist arguments, the fact that
Italy had a strong case against her
former allies. the Volkszeitung pro-
ceeded to speak even more plainly.
Italy had been reproached II wrote,
with having violated the triple alli-
ance treaty, but that was not the
case. At the beginning OF the war
the italian government mad pointed
out that the treaty Of alliance and
the supplementary conventions pro
hibited any independent action that
the casus foedoris was valid only in
a defensive war. and that Italy had
not been informed or the action
\ against Serbia. The central
powers we're aware Of that statement
yet they never drew from II the nee
essary conclusion and did not re-
pudiate the alliance. Altogether
the Leipzig paper concluded. II mus
be remembered that a stateman ono,
called a solemnly guaranteed treat,
a scrap Of paper and formulated tn,
argument: Necessity knows no law.
Again IL is a Saxon paper that is
enabled to speak thus plainly. or

have been able to'print articles which
the Vorwaerts OF Berlin had per
force to refuse. In the present in

EASTLAKE WANTS SERVICE.
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir-For a long time past ] have
been watching the development of
Wilmington with no little interest
and in many ways the progress of
this city has been nothing short OF
remarkable. But right at this time
it seems that plans are being con-
sidered by the Wilmington and Phila-
delphia Traction Company in con-
nection with the re-routing Of its
lines. which, if carried out, will Offset

refer to the reported plan of the
Traction Company to cut out or at
least curtail service over what was
formerly the Eastlake line of the
Peoples Railway Company. AS / un-
derstand it. present plans are to re-
move the trackway over the portion
OF the line from Sixteenth street and
King to Pine street, to Twenty-third
10 Market street.
Would the officials OF the Traction
Company sense the public sentiment
amongst the thousands of residents
in this growing section of the city,
they would not desire to antagonize
this very large number of people by
removing a line which has been so
convenient for their use. People in
Eastlake and vicinity are up in arms
against any move which might be
made TO cut out or curtail this ser
vice.
If It is economy which leads the
Traction Company TO even consider
such a scheme as this, 1t appears to
me to he very false economy, for
/ there are perhaps no sections Of the
city which are growing or being de-
veloped more rapidly than those
through which this Eastlake line
runs. Hundreds of houses have gone
up there in the past few years and
hundreds of others are being planned
I Just at present, on Twenty-second
street, a row of about twenty eight
houses has been started and this is
merely a small illustration of the
