Pennsy Train Hits Car;
Glass Cuts Passengers

Reading, Pa, Oct. s. - An ac-
cident occurred to the Pennsyl-
vania passenger train leaving this
cit yfor Pottsville at 1915 last night.
over twenty passengers were more
or less cut by flying glass but no one
was seriously injured.
The accident occurred near Lees
port and was caused by the pas
senger train striking a loaded coal
car in a southhound extra, which
had taken the side track. The car
striking the cab of the locomotive
caught all of the coaches scraping
the sides and breaking all of the win
dows on that side of the train. That
the accident was not more serious
was due to the steel coaches. The
passenger coaches were so badly
damaged that another train had to
be made up at Reading so the train
could continue.

War Bread Successful
in New York Hotels

New York. Oct S.-War bread
has made it's bow to New York City,
Already it has been substituted, eX-
perimentally, for wheat bread in the
larger hotels of the city, and it is
believed the innovation of the bread
made of cereals other than wheat
will win the public over and estab-
lish the fact that this staple is not so
necessary to the sustenance of life
as is generally supposed. The first
experiment of regrinding bread
crusts into q flour proved unsuccess-
full because of the expense of recon-
verting the product into a flour of
powdered form. but this obstacle
has been largely overcome and it is
estimated that the larger hotels
easily recover a barrel of flour a
day in this manner.

COPENHAGEN. July 23. - The
commanding general OF the German

to the German newspapers In which
he attempts to discount the prospec-
tive participation of American avi-
ators In the war for mastery of the
air Dispatches from the United States
telling of hundreds OF aviators who
are to be graduated weekly and OF the
thousands OF airplanes to be construc-
ted caused the general to scoff at what
he terms the usual Anglo-American
bluff and American weakness for big
talk and tall figures He says Ameri-
cans have not developed practical
military airship.
American aviators. he said, undoubt-
edly will appear soon In increasing
numbers on the western front, but the
American aviators thus far encoun-
tered have not been particularly dan
gerous opponents OF the Germans and
n new squadron would merely aug
ment the already numerical superb
ority of the allies and not affect the
question OF aerial mastery which he
asserts is dependent on the morale OF
the fliers and not their numbers.
