Train BUR|E D
IN SNOW SLIDE
ON C. N. A.. R.
Dozen Passengers In Din
ing Car and Day Coach
Probably Killed
BY AssoCIATEp PRESS.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 23.-Great
Northern train No. rs, the Cascade
limited from Spokane, was struck by
snow slide near Corsa station on
the western slope of the Cascades
near the summit this morning. The
dining car and the day coach were
carried down an ernbankment 800
feet.
All the persons in the two cars
were reported as killed or injured.
Physicians have been sent from
Everett.
The train had been stopped by a
small slide which covered the track.
Workmen had just completed remov-
ing the snow and debris from the
rails and the train was about to pro-
coed when an avalanche Numbered
down from the mountain side. The
dining car and day coach were struck
squarely and swept away. The other
cars and the engine were left on the
track.
Corsa is about 120 miles east of
Seattle and is at the loop of a big
switch back. 1t is the second station
down the west slope from the Cas-
cade tunnel, and Great Northern of
ficials said is almost the exact spot
where a train was swept from the
tracks February %, 1910, with great
loss of life.
Two negro porters and a trainman
are known to be dead. The dining
car is reported burning. The cars IN
the Gulch were not covered by snow
as in the 1910 disaster. Then many
of the dead were suffocated.
Cries for help from the cars in
the gulch could be heard on the track
above.
The first passenger reached IN the
day coach, small boy, was severely
burned The next two passengers
were dead.
Five employees in the dining car
were believed to be dead. Tt was i'm
possible to learn how many pas
sengers were in the day coach.

the United States should join with Eng
land In protesting against the attempt
OF any outside power to restore SPANS
authority In America.
Mr.. Adams. the Secretary of State, did
proved the object
He thought such course too likely to
make the United States merely "a
eock-boat IN the wake of the British
man-of-war." and so draw them again
and at disadvantage into European pol
ltioG' and Mr. Monroe accepted his view
in the matter
different but no less effective step
was taken
In 1892 the President had recognized
the independence OF the South American
republics.
1923. he told Congress and the world what
attitude he meant to take towards any
attempt on the part of the European
powers ito extend their system to any
portion of this hemisphere
He should deem such an act, he de-
clared. dangerous to the peace and safety
Of the United States
With the existing colonies or de-
tendencies of any European power" he
said, I'VE have not interfered and shall
not interfere. But with the governments
who have declared their independence,
ana maintained IL, ana whose independ-
ence we have, on great consideration and
on just principles, acknowledged. we
could not view any interposition for the
purpose Of depressing them, or controlI-
ing In any other manner their destiny, by
any European power, IN any other light
than as the manifestation OF an un-
friendly disposition toward the United
States"
No one could nfstaker TIE r.4eanSag of
the words, and SPANS plans IN the
South were given up.
This Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Monroe meant
to be American. not European. policy.

Shoes and
Motor Cars.

Word comes from South Africa
that the demand for American boots
and shoes, always great in that dis
+rict, has been increased in remark
able fashion since the war. From
another part Of the southern herni-
sphere, Argentina, our consuls write
I'm that American automobiles are
gaining In popularity, and that If
commerce with the United States can
be made half as easy as commerce
with Europe Yankee motor cars viii
lead al others on the plains of the
Plata.
Apparently, whether the people
under the southern cross go on foot
or by auto, they are learning to look
TO America for their travelling gear.
Their education I'm this matter is
stin incomplete. For the last year
for which figures were available, the
United States supplied only one-fifth
Of the automobiles imported into
Argentina. The proportion is greater
now, but there is plenty of chance for
It to increase. AS for boots and
shoes, there Is no reason why this
country should not gain as clear a
supremacy IN the whole western
hemisphere as It has now in Cuba,
where practically everyone who does
not go barefooted gets his foot COW

On TIE new Edison diamond disc pho
noRrapf before clubs and organizations
of all kinds. The object OF these re-
citals Is 10 demonstrate that Thomas A.
Edison, the inventive wizard, has at
last mastered the art OF recreattng the
human voice. Edison's master mind
stands out supreme in this, his latest
and fayoFite invention. Mus1c's re-
creation is Edison,s new art. 1t occu-
pies a position In the front rank OF the
inventions Of the age; It Is fitting
companion to the electric light, the
moving picture and Edison'e many Ia
nous inventions.
Musical history was made a snort
time ago at Orange, N. ]. At the
laboratories OF the new Edison dia-
mond disc photograph, 300 phonograpn
experts were witnesses to an epoch-
making experiment. When the test
was done, the entire gathering agreed
as one-a modern miracle had been
performed before their eyes. Three
factors predominated in this demon
stration: Alice Verlet, the famous Bel
gian prima donna, who musical critics
have hailed as the new queen of song,
the new Edison diamond disc phono-
sraph and Thomas A. Edison. He
