THIRTY KILLED
IN OHIO WRECK
Two Sections Of Chicago Limited
Collide on N. Y. c.
THREE INQUIRIES STARTED
ceiief OF Some officials That Tower
man, Kept Up Three Nights BY
illness OF wife, Caused colll-
sion Doubted BY Another.

Cleveland. d.-At least 80 persons were
killed and 40 or more injured on the
New York Central Railroad and in
vestigations were promptly started by
Federal and State officials.
Three trains, including the Twen-
tieth Century Limited, westbound, the
New York Centrars palatial flyer, and
two sections Of No. Sc, known as the
Chicago Pittsburgh Limited, east
bound, came together near Amherst,
Ohio. 81 miles west Of Cleveland.
Reports generally credited were
that the first and second section OF
No Sc were proceeding at rapid rate
and at some points we're only q mile
or so apart When the second sec-
ton crashed into the first section the
Twentieth Century Limited plowed
into the wreckage Of the other two
trains which bulged over from the
parallel tracks and the three were
thrown into an indescribable mass.
The great coaches and engines OF
No. Sc were topped over and debris
was piled 30 feet high.
Two cars were smashed to junk and
IL coaches overturned.
Twentieth Century Goes On.
The Twentieth Century, notwith-
standing its impact with the wreckage
from the other trains, emerged almost
unscathed and proceeded on its west
ward journey, its passengers uniniured
except for a severe shaking up.
A pail Of fog from Lake Erie had
settled down over Northern Ohio, and
the night was Of almost inky darkness.
This. with the alleged failure of a
towerman TO do his duty under the
rules, was ascribed by some OF the
railroad officials as the cause Of the
wreck The towerman, 1t was said,
had been without sleep most of the
time since Sunday night, his wife be-
ing IN and requiring his attention
when he was not on duty.
The wreck was one Of those rarest
OF railroad oalamities-not one COLI
sion, but two, involving three trains
on two tracks. When the half-dozen
investigations already under way are
concluded, the blame will be fixed. A
block signal, set suddenly and without
warning, against a train speeding
along eastward, with another train
following in the next block" lies at
the bottom OF the doubt that exists as
to the real cause OF the wreck.

ExcEgp sHERMAN's MARCH.
Troops Line OF Communications In
Mexico Longer Than Famous
Drive To Sea.

By aeroplane to field headquarters,
Colonia Dublan, Chihuahua, Mexico
(by aeroplane TO Columbus, n. NJ
The line Of communications main
tanned by General Sherman in his
march to the sea has been exceeded
already in the line stretched by the
American troops southwark into Mex
leo. This line exceeded 900 miles in
length.
American troops, without a railroad,
have opened a line directly into Villas
noted hiding places, all in less than
two weeks. At the head Of this line
are columns guarding avenues which
villa might try TO use for doubling
on his trail, while at the front is a
body Of men whose identities the cen
sorship has hidden thus far, but whose
exploits are daily filtering back along
the long communication line, filling the
troops pressing forward from the rear
stations with anticipation, and main
tanning the most gallant Of American
military traditions.
As a result Of the hard campaigning
about two dozen Of the vanguard
troops have dropped from the ranks
for hospital treatment Meanwhile
the others are said to have hardened
to their work as they advanced.
In a town which a week ago was
considered notorious for the number Of
villa sympathizers, army men report
that within a very few days they have
discovered evidences Of a seemingly,
real transformation OF sentiment in
favor Of the American Army.

Paris.-The notable conference Of
the military and civic chiefs of the
governments Of the Entente Allies. at
which momentous questions regarding
the war were taken up for considera-
tion and decision, ended Tuesday.
Never perhaps have deliberations so
important had so little written about
them. Thirtyseven persons took
part, yet the proceedings are under
stood TO have gone forward without
the least confusion, because the sub
jects to be considered had been
worked out in advance by each Of
those whose judgment on any mill
tary, political or economic question
was to be submitted.
The conference separated into
groups, according to the questions to
be determined, this process facilitating
the reaching Of common understand
ings.
Decisions Binding On Nations.
The decisions of the conference
have the force of the decisions Of the
respective governments, because each,
with the exception Of Russia, was rep
resented by its principal ministers and
generals.
The delegates began departing to-
night in the same silent and unobtru.

DROPPED BOMBS

Britain.
MANY KILLED AND INJURED
Casualties In Latest Raid, When Three
Sections, Including Scotland, Were
Attacked, Not included
In These Totals.

London.-The coast OF Scotland
and the northern and southeastern
counties of England were attacked by
Zeppolins Sunday night, according TO
an official announcement by the Sec
retary OF War. The announcement
says:
"A Zeppelin raid took place Sunday
night, when the coast Of Scotland and
the northern and southeastern coun-
ties OF England we're attacked.
Bombs were dropped at various
places. No details are available"
With the exception Of the big air
raid of Jonuary 81. when the casual
ties were 67 persons killed and 1T In.
jured the Zeppelin raids Of Friday and
Saturday nights caused greater loss OF
life than any previous aerial attack
this year.
The total casualties for the two
nights, according TO an official report
were So persons killed and 166
wounded.
cheered BY zeppeIin's Destruction.
AS scme compensation for this
sacrifice Of life, however, the British
public finds satisfaction in practical
proof afforded Of great improvement
in the defensive methods dealing with
aerial incursions For the first time
since the inception of this method Of
warfare on the British coast, not only
has one raider been brought down and
its crew taken prisoners. but the Off
cial report recounts an exciting aerial
fight between Zeppelin and British
airman, Lieutenant Brandon. who,
mounting to a height Of 5000 feet, few
over the raider and dropped several
bombs on II with effect.
The machine of Lieutenant Brandon
was hit several times by machine-gun
bullets from the Zeppelin. II is still
unknown whether the Zeppelin in this
fight was the LIS, which was brought
down of the Thames estuary or an
other craft which is believed to have
dropped its machine gun, petrol tank
and other parts.
alfred Brandon, the British airman,
IS native Of Dellington. N. 2. He is
so years old and only Joined the flying
corps last July.
There has been constant agitation
in the newspapers for British airmen
TO ascend and attack Zeppclins. and
the fact that this now has been sue
cessfully done gives promise Of still
greater achievements in the same d.
rectlon. At the same time It will tend
TO increase public confidence that the
authorities are making progress in
their efforts to deal with the Zeppelin
danger.
