flood of waters which poured over the
iron sides Of the coal car and onto the
track below in pool of mud and Gin

down from the cab to introduce me to
the train conductor. The latter hand
ed over the dispatches to Demmer and
spoke to me about my ride in the
cab.
When the time was up Demmer
climbed back, set his levers, and we
! pulled away from the station.
watched the conductor swing Saboard
the middle part of the train, and st.
Charles became only an incident.
The cities and their outlying dis
tricts shaken off, Demmer became more
daring with his throttle, opening 1t
wider and wider and balancing the re-
verse lever the while. The rocking of
the car became lurch, as the road
bed flooded by underneath us In ever
increasing velocity. The headlight sent
simmer of light ahead over the
track, figuring the steel rails gingerly
as we few past: " -:
Faster and faster grew our pace. I'M
perturbable, Demmer sat on his perch
making the endless adjustments Of lev
ers and valves until the steady rate of
60 miles an hour had been attained.
Like giant wave sliding into us,
the track from the end of the search
lights reach, seemed to bulge up and
come veering down under us. We
could never mount to the crest of the !
wave, and we could never gain on 1t.
A few lights marked a little by

and the few people there huddled |
against the wall to shield themselves |
from the rush of air as we smashed |

drivers. The fields were flooded with

the roadbed was going by

His hair, tinged with gray, prompted
ne to ask Demmer how many years
york was necessary before man !
btained fast passenger run. He re-
lied that at least 20 years of mans ,
fe went into preparation for passen- {
er work. that such long seasoning was
ecessary for the hard and rigorous

DOckery was engaged necessarily In
shoveling coal into the mouth of the
furnace beside US. And when he had a
minute to spare he perched on the seat
behind me, peering out for the signals
which he checked with Demmer. Pick
ing the way through the scattered
houses of the country we swung along
all along for space of many min
utes. Then Demmer shut down his
throttle little and we rounded
long curve. Ahead cleaned a deep
green light on the right side of the
track.

"That gives us the st. Charles
bridge" Dockery yelled into my ear
as Demmer opened the throttle again,
and perceived we were mounting the
long trestle of the approach. A sweep
ing curve brought us round gradually
and the searchlight conferred finally
upon the Orders and iron works of the
long bridge before us.
We entered the bridge and an in
terminable number of cross-pieces

and white lights blinked at the seeth-

Union station. To me the lights meant

into four open lines. The en-

he proposed conference is to reach a
ommon understanding Of the basic
principles upon which q lasting peace

In discussing his proposition Repre-
sentative London said that a declara-
ion by a conference of nations would
onstitute an appeal to reason and to
he conscience of the world and would
ave an immediate effect upon the
eace-loving elements in the central
overs.
The value of the reichstag declara-
ION has been underestimated," said

IL an assertion of the right to de-
termine international relations by
parliament which has heretofore been
submissive to the government Second,
IT is direct bid for peace. Third, 1t
emphasizes the fact that the represent
atives of the German people have real
ized the danger of an economic alh-
ance after the war. 1t is evident they
do not expect to defeat the allies. No
matter how optimistic they may be
about their military successes they
nave no hope that Germany will be
able to force its terms upon the allies.
The best they can hope for Is a stale
