 Quickly stopping his train, Engi-
 neer Debeauchant with Conductor John Kelly, members of the train grew and passengers gave first aid ftreatment while an. emergency call was sent to Capt. T. w. Grace at po- lice headquarters for the ambulance. In charge of Chauffeur Patrick How ley, Sergeant William c. Hart aid Policeman Gustav Hellberg, the in-
 jured were rushed to the hospital.
 Surgeons were quick to note the grave
 condition of the two women and ear-
 ;y it was seen that their chances for
 recovery were poor.
 Mrs. Viets Has Concession of Brain. At first it was not thought the in- juries of Mrs. Viets would be such as to prevent recovery. Later 1t was found that the injuries were more serious than at first thought and her condition grew worse until this after noon, when it Is regarded as critical. Besides general shock, decorations. and abrasions she is suffering from serious concussion of the brain and a bad fracture of the right leg just below the knee.
 Mrs. Tryon's condition is even worse. In addition to general shock with abrasions and lacerations, she
 has a fracture of the base of the skull and it is feared that she has internal injuries and fractured q badly
 The antomobile, when struck. was dragged along for few feet and
 then tossed to one side. The right
 side. of the machine was smashed to a near combination of kindling wood and twisted metal. The hood, wind-
 shield and right rear wheel were
 ground to pieces. The radiator was
 badly smashed, motive power: discon-
 nected and, according to automobile
 men, the machine is so badly damaged
 as not to be worth an attempt to re-
 build it. It Is an Overland touring car of last years model.
 The occupants of the car bled pro-
 fusely prior to their removal to the
 hospital, having received multiple abraisions and decorations about the head and upper parts of their bodies. The force of the impact was illus trated by the finding of one of the au- tomobile tires about twenty yards up the track while wearing apparel was scattered over wide area.
 Phillips has always had an excellent record with the railroad and keenly feels his position in the case. He Is fifty-s years old and has been en- ployed by the road for some time. His hours on duty have been from noon to midnight daily. He con- tended that the steam crane nearby with it's noise, the fact that the gates work hard and his obscured view prevented him from knowing of the approaching train in time.
 Railroad and police officials are conducting an investigation.

Quotations Fluctuate and Entire
 List Proves Nervous

Wall Street.-Seeling of the same persistent character which wiped out many of yesterdays gains in the final hour was again in evidence at the outset of today's trading gon the stock exchange. Prices were irregu- lar. initial quotations, however, show ing more gains than losses with es- pecial strength in shippings, Central Leather and some of the metals. U. s. Steel also rose a substantial frac- tion but reacted with marines, cop- pers and some of the rails. Equip Rents and some of the active spe-. cA)ties also displayed irregular ten- dences. Further recesions were shown by the general list before the end of the first half hour.
 Reversals of the first hour ran from 1 to points in most of the steel and iron shares. with over points for Bethlehem Steel now and old shares. Shippings also sagged with Central Leather, Industrial Alcohol and various minor specialties. Fol- lowing its course of the preceding day, the list scored general recover ies from lowest levels, coppers and marines leading the higher movement before midday. U. s. Steel was under pressure. however, and rails also sagged. Bonds were irregular.
 An extreme advance of seven points in Ohio Gas and further activity in shippings were the only features Of the early afternoon. Elsewhere trading was listless and price changes were mostly fractional.
 Prices were most confusing in the final hour, rails developing sudden strength, while industrials and metals showed greater heaviness. The closing was irregular. Sales ap- proximated 100000 shares.

Of the Russian people. To part with them
as price of peace would create no protest
in Old Russia, as it now exists.
On the other hand, it is plain that if
there be no Allied policy to meet the Ger
man programme there will be new "Sick
Man" in the European family and a new
series of European wars growing out of
the German purpose to inherit all his es-
,ates. And there is, it seems to me, but
one line of policy-that which contem-
plates the-creation of real Polish state,
Polish state including within its boun-
diaries the Poles of Germany as we'll as Of
Austria and of Russia; Polish state to
which is joined Lithuania, under some
such arrangement as now subsists between
Austria and Hungary, allowing for COM
plete local and lingual independence, but in
surfing a common foreign policy and suf-
fcent seaboard and territorial extent to
insure economic and industrial indepen-
dence. In a future article shall attempt
to get forth the case for this restoration
Of Poland, which is making itself heard in
the Allied world already, but at the mo-
ment am interested in explaining the real
meaning of the German proposal TO the
Russians, the proposal to create two frag-
ments, decorated by the NAMES of
Lithuania and of Poland, but incapable of
existing as countries.
II one desires to test the sincerity of the
German interest in the Poles let him ex-
anime the treatment that Prussian Poles
have had to endure fora century and more,
since Frederick the Great engineered the
first partition. And if any one desires to
test the sincerity of the interest Of the
Central Powers for small peoples, as such,
let him recall the cases of Belgium and Of
Serbia. No, the German policy in the East
is the German policy everywhere. Bur,

Il Would Create a New Sick Man of

= Plans to Inherit, Extending
Clear Through to
Pacific Ocean
By FRANK H. SIMONDS
Author of "The World War;" "They Shall Not Pass"

The English-speaking publics of the
ro,ld are so unfamiliar with the condi-
.;0rs If Eastern and Southeastern Europe
that some Of the greatest problems for
,bs future. growing out Of the world con-
saeration, remain of little Importance to
bs limited States and Great Britain-that
:. q importance as measured by under
standing. Precisely this lack of knowl-
.sge has served to obscure the meaning
If German peace proposalsSto Russia, as
voicsd by the German Chancellor.
1--WE expect" said Hertling, chat the
lithuanian and Polish peoples in the con-
opeyed districts of Russia will be per-
ritted to decide upon their own form OF
rovsrnment and follow their own cultural
IDEALS" This is the substance Of the
statement, hedged about by the most non
oon,m;ttal of phrases. Now, exactly what
did this mean and does it mean to the
world? At the least it proposes more
momentous change in European territorial
adjustments than followed the Napoleonlc
War.
It means more. Thanks to the free use
Of the map, the map that has been fire.
ousntly printed to accompany my articles
the American public has grasped some
thing of the meaning of Mitteleuropa. We
are beginning to understand something of
fine danger to world liberty if Germany
IS able to expand perpendicularly, speak
ing by the map; to extend her rule from
Hamburg to Basra, from the North Sea
10 the Persian Gulf. But not yet has
there been any sufficient education as to
the meaning to the world of German ex-
pansion laterally, speaking again by the
map.

ing Lithuanians and more than one
million Poles. This would be a state ruled
by race itself in the minority, state
which could not exist without the pro-
lection Germany would supply for price.
In a word. this new state would be a vas
sal of Germany, and German control OF
the Baltic shores would extend almost to
the mouth of the Gulf of Finland; that is,
to the door of Petrograd.
Now, what of German Poland? This
would be a state consisting of Russian
Poland, with upward of twelve millions
Of people, to which might be added por-
ton of Grodno and fraction of Volhynia,
making in all a state of about the same
size as Lithuania, but with a population
approaching fifteen millions. But this
state is to be directly added to Austria
and Joined with Galca, in which live some
five millions of Poles and four millions of
Ruthenans. By this move the Poles, who
hold the balance of power in Austria,
would be eliminated from Austrian poll
tics, German control would be assured,
and the Czechs-that is, the Slavs of Bohe
mia and Moravia-would be helpless before
their German masters.
Moreover, the capacity of Austria to
rule such a state, numbering nearly TWEEN
ty-fve millions, three-quarters of them
Poles, is unbelievable. And in her own
time Germany would follow the course
she adopted with Schleswig- Holstein, con-
quered from Denmark with the aid of
Austria, and finally added to Prussia by
a successful war against her former ally.
In a word, Germany would temporarily
assign to Austria territory beyond Aus
trian capacity to hold and ultimately take
it herself For it must be recognized that,
without free access to the sea, this torso
of free Poland could not escape from

The Turkish Example

Now, the lateral expansion OF Germany
is conditioned on certain basic facts. For
a century Europe has been either at war
or on the edge of war because of ques-
tons growing out of the slow but sure re-
cession Of the Turkish food. One after
another, portions of the Osmanli empire,
conquered when the Turk was on the ad-
vance, have escaped from the Sultan
And each province that has thus escaped
has been the cause of European dispute
and Of international rivalry, until we see
the last recession, produced by the Balkan
War Of 1912, succeeded by the world con-
fagration which is still proceeding.
Now. conceive that a similar disintegra-
ton were 10 take place in the Russian
Empire. with its vast area, with its ire
mendous resources, and it becomes clear
that the Russian question may be for the
future infinitely more dangerous than the
Turkish question has been in the past; that
II NAV. for the balance of the Twentieth
Century, replace the old Eastern question
And it is precisely this possibility which
today confronts the world and is the basis
Of present German policy.
Like the Turk, the Russian has con-
quered many races; like the Turk, he has
failed TO assimilate the races he has con-
quered The Pole, the Lithuanian, the
Finn, the Rumanian of Bessarabia' even
the various divisions of Russians, pre-
serA a varying degree of individuality
and have not, like the Saxon and the Ba-
yarian. the Rhinelander and the Prusslan'
achieved a national consciousness within
a common empire.
Accordingly, when the Russian unity
which was dynastic and governmental
was overthrow by the Revolution and
succeeded by a progressive anarchy, which
still continues TO induce disintegratlon'
the unassimilated portions of Russia
promptly began to seek some other unity
than the Russian-Romanof unity OF the
past Finland, Poland, Lithuania, Ukrai-
nia-these are the first national move
ments. There will doubtless be Others
but at this moment these command atten-
ton.
In the face of this German policy has
long been preparing. Better than all the
rest of the world the German has under
stood that Russia was still not nation;
II was a collection of nationslties united
by governmental machine and domi-
nsnt dynasty. Now, when the machine
