CANADIANS TOLD
ABOUT PACIFISTS
Taft Says They Make Great Deal
Of Noise to Get
Attention.

Montreal, Sept. 26.-The pacifists
of the United States do not reflect the
national sentiment there former
President Taft stated here today.
The former president said he
wished some way could be found to
deal with men like Senator La
Toilette.
"The pacifists and pro-Germans,"
said Mr.. Taft "are an example of the
fact that persons of no Importance
whatever in time OF stress succeed
by virtue of the noise they make, in
gaining great deal more attention
than they are entitled to. The paci-
fists of the United States have no sig
nificance as expressing the national
sentiment.

Trains Meet Full Speed
At Curve On 0. L. & |.

, Hansen, conductor, also Of Ogden.
The two trains came together three
miles south of Brigham City.
Seeing that the special had disre-
garded running orders as he under
stood them, Motorman Newton of the.
regular put on the brakes in a des-
perate endeavor to avoid smash.
He had brought his train almost to
halt when the special crashed into
| It.
Despite their knowledge that a
crash was inevitable, both motormen
stuck to their posts. Newton's arm
was broken.
Blame for the wreck was put up to
the crew of the special train in a re-
port made for the company by w. 6.
Law, trainmaster, after six hours in
vestigation. The special, he charged,
had failed to obey the operating
rules.
So quick were the trains hurled
together that the passengers had only
time to start up in horror in their
front ends of both cars were reduced
to wreckage. The force of the i'm
pact swept them heavily against the
seats ahead. Shattered glass rained
about them.
Relief Is Delayed.
So complete was the demolition Of
the cars that traffic was blocked for
three hours. This prevented sending
relief trains, and for more than an
hour the injured were without care,
except such emergency bandaging as
bother passengers were able to admin
lister. When word of the accident
reached Brigham City scores of au-
tomobiles set forth for the scene, and
their ears were turned into impro-
vised ambulances for conveying the
injured to that place.
A. w. Ellingson of Ogden, traffic
manager Of the o. L. & l., hurried
to the place and supervised the work
Of clearing away the wreckage. DR..
A. l.. Brown of Brigham City, rail-
road physician for the o. L. & l.,
gave his attention to the injured,
having the more seriously hurt taken
to his private hospital.
From there the injured, after re-
ceiving treatment, with the exception
of few, were able to go to their
homes.
Great excitement prevailed in
Brigham City among the thousands
of residents and visitors when word
Of the accident was received. Hun
dreds of injuries were directed to
hospitals and various municipal au-
thorities by persons who feared that
relatives or friends were among the
victims.
Traffic Is Tied Up.
The tie-up in traffic proved en-
barrassing for those who planned to
leave the Peach day celebration early.
The first Of the trains, after the line
finally was cleared. departed at 7:15
p. m. This and subsequent trains
were loaded to capacity.
The wrecked trains consisted OF
three cars each. about fifty passen-
gers being aboard each.
In an official statement issued by
w. s. Law. trainmaster Of the road.
late last night the blame for the &C.
cident was placed on the crew OF
the special southbound train. Train
master Law declared that this train
crew overlooked the schedule Of the
regular northbound train. He said
the steel equipment prevented whole
sale fatalities.

SHE HAS BAD DREAMS.

The ex-Empress of Russia, at the
beginning of this war, played a trick
on her own people. She had lot of
paste diamonds substituted for the
Crown jewels, and then sent her al
most unaccountable wealth to Ger
many.
This fact has just come to light.
The jewels are appraised at one
hundred million dollars, and now the
portentous rumblings of the execu~
toners tumbrils are heard. The rum
blings visit the old girl at night in her
dreams.
But there is one supreme satisfac-
ton: They cannot eat diamonds in
Germany, nor can they put them up
with one Of our uncles.
This Russian collection of crown
Jewels consists Of more than forty
strings of the very largest pearls in
the world There are some of the
largest and the costliest pigeon-blood
rubies. Then there are emeralds, and
smaller gems. One diamond is valued
at four hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.
Compare this woman with the many
women we saw recently-women with
hoes-real women-damond in the

THE MIND.
Soldiers have been shot, and for
some time did not know it--not until
their blood-soaked clothes warned
them. People have been cured, after
years Of illness, by the shock of good
news. Unexpected failure in business
has driven many man to the grave.
Bread pills have performed almost
miracles. Hypodermics of pure water
have put millions to sleep.
The mind is wonderful healer or a
decided MISUNDERSTANDING on its
attitude. The body, if well fostered
needs little bolstering, save in old age
Drugs, stimulants, narcotics, tonics
foods, are essential.
Nurses, doctors, druggists, are nee
essary at times.
But mental treatment, mental medi-
cine, is imperative at all times.
You cannot win when your mental
makeup is in a sling-when your
body is supported by the clutches OF
diseased mind. You can, if you will
do more for yourself than all the doc
tors, the druggists, the nurses, pro-
vided your mind is still strong enough
to do it's part.

WRITING THE SOLDIER.

When you write the soldier, think
twice. Write nothing that will make
him homesick. Never tell him of any
thing that will make him doubt any
one. Do not write him that his best
girl is dancing with some other fellow.
You may tell him to say his prayers:
This will help him more than to tell
him how long and how often you pray
for him.
Never call him a hero, When sol
der is surrounded by thousands of
other heroes, this well-intended trib-
ute falls fiat
Do not tell him how you shudde1
through the sleepless nights, and how
often you weep over his ever-present
danger.
Write him a homelike letter. Tel
him about the constructive, cheerful
things at home. Mention all the i'm
provements on the farm, and tell him
how big the turkeys are.
