| ty-seven known dead and forty to fif-
| ty persons injured, some Of them Sc

The accommodation train had Just

connective with the weight of heavy
steel train behind it crashed into the
rear of the accommodation with ter
rife impact. The two wooden pas
senger coaches and baggage car max
ing up the smaller train were splint-
cred.
A relief train was made up at LOU
isville and rushed here with physi-
sicianS and nurses. By the time it
arrived most Of the injured and the
bodies of the dead had been removed
from the wreckage by volunteers.
Within Il short time this work was
completed and the train was started
back to Louisville with a clear right
of way, taking the injured to hospit-
ais there.
Virtually every person aboard the
accommodation train, both crew and
passengers, was either killed or badly
injured. None of the passengers
aboard the fast train were killed,
though number were injured. The
locomotive was demolished and the
heavy steel coaches making up the
train were thrown from the track.
Louisville G. Nashville passenger
train No. z, left Cincinnati at 11:15
O'Clock a m. The train as made up
in Cincinnati consisted of mail, bag
gage and express cars, three coaches
and a sleeper and parlor cars.

clothing, cantonment buildings, food
and transportation situation Friday by

heavy artillery. Mr.. Mccormick said
neither the British nor the French had
enough artillery and that they were
supplying Pershing only because the
Americans were still worse off.

and shortages in the ordnance outfit
ting, the senate, before adiourning for
the holidays, indefinitely postponed

KAISER TALKS
PEACE AGAIN
Russians Are Asked to Sound

Question.
TERMS ARE OUTLINED

to a FRAGILE.
TERMS ARE OUTLINED

Washington, Dec. 21.-Wbat pur
ports 10 be an outline of the Kaiser
much advertised Christmas peac,
terms" has reached here Through tn,
same neutral diplomatic channelI
which earlier in the week received
information to support iutimationl
from abroad that new peace offel
was ceming.
In the main, the terms as described
follow the lines OF those said to have
been written by Foreign Minister Vol
Kuehlmann last summer. At tina
time they were denounced as having
been written purely for political pur
poses.
The so-called terms, which mus
be appraised at their face value, are
said to include the following:
To leave the disposition of Alsace-
Lorraine 10 a plebiscite Of inhabitants.
England to pay Germany for her
lost African colonies and the money
to be used for the rehabilitation of Bel.
GUM, Serbia, Rumania and northern
France.
Russian provinces bordering the
Baltic, the Black sea and Prussia tc
become independent under a Ger
man plan.
Poland TO become an independent
state under Austrian suzerainty.
Disarmament, freedom of the seas
and commerce to be left to the peace
conference.
Rumania, Serbia and Montenegro to
retain their original boundaries, with
the right of access to the sea being
granted to Serbia.
Turkey to remain intact.
Whether such a proposal of terms
is merely another step in the German
propaganda to impress the public
mind that the allies are responsible
for a continuance OF the war, or
whether it really is a feeler for peace,
is a subject for the estimate of the
governments concerned.

GET YOUR $40
ACRE HOMESTEAD

How do we determine what 2
thing is worth? Take land for
instance.
Land values in Grant county
rtpsesent what folks will pay
whenever there is any for sale.
Originally the land was worth
next to nothing; but with con.
|centration of settlers, the found
ing Of settlements. the growtf
into llages and towns. the land
became worth" more because
people thought the presence 0
others and the advantages incl
dent to community relations and
the creation of markets encha1-
ced the desirabliity of ownini
the land.
At the time the Indians owned
the land il could have produced
just az much per acre as today
but civilization did rot exist OF
the land. and consequently il
wasn't worth much.
lnen VINO creates values! /,
is the man -himself-on the LAND
or the cooperation of the forces
about him?
The latter, Of course. Ano
everything hat tends to uplift
civilization and society, adds to
the value of everything else in
it-inchuding land.
The time when Railroad Ave
nue. was part of a trackless waste
land in Grant county was prac-
tically ~valueless because the civil
lization of today was lacking.
And the greater the elements of
civilization people, markets, the
necessities and Injuries of life
are concentrated in this vicinity.
the greater will become the value
of the land--or What it is ''worth"
when people buy and sell it.
