RUSSIA NOT FAVORABLE
no PEACE PROPOSALS.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Aug. 81
Rejection by Russia Of the pope's
peace proposal was foreshadowed In
an ofhcial statement issued 1t the
Russian >embassy. The statement
follows:
"The answer to the vsticsn's peace
proposal has not yet been formulated
by the Russian government. but there
Is a feeling in Russia that the pro-
posal has been made with some In.
spiration from the central powers. Il
Is considered in Russia that the very
basis Of the vatican's proposal is in.
consistent with tho democratic aims
OF the Russian people in this war and
unacceptable from that point OF
view"
The vatican's proposal. It 10 said
ignores the most vital principle pro-
claimed by Russis-the right Of each
nation to determine it, own destiny.
and thus leaves the fate Of certain
subject nationslities in the hands Of
other powers.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 19 delayed
According to press reports, Russia has
heen informed by the Central Powers
that they intend to make peace pro-
posals to the Allies.
This report is published in "The Even

which says the representatives Of the
Central Powers, at the first preliminary
peace conference with the Russians,
held yesterday, announced that their
governments intended on principle to
put the question of peace before all
the powers, and that they had asked
their allies to do likewise. Russia was
requested to take similar steps. It is
stated the Russians are endeayoring by

Germans Plot to Stop
"Four-Minute Men" in
Drive of Red Cross
Secret Service Investigating
Attempt to Interfere With
Membership Campaign

Work of pro-German sympathizers
who are seeking to interfere with the
Red Cross campaign for 100000
members here will be made the
subject Of a sweeping investigation by
the United States Secret Service. Ac-
cordinR to the Red Cross managers,
several times during the week the
headquarters OF the Four-Minute Men,
who have been making patriotic ad-
dresses TO help the campaign, have
been called up by strangers who repre-
sented themselves as certain Red Cross
officials. These fake officials, so the
story goes, thanked the Four-Minute
Men for their assistance, but said that
other arrangements had been made and
that their services would be required
no longer.
These attempts to balk the campaign
have been repeated with increasing
daring Each time. by mere good luck,
the plotters have been thwarted.
The matter at last became so annoy
ing that Frank Presbrey, one of the
directors of the campaign, turned the
matter over last night TO secret SER
vice operatives.
"Thc only other unpleasant feature
Of the week occurred at Aeolian Hall

at Red Cross headquarters last night
declared. Permission had been given
for the placing of booth in the lobby.

gathering is held in the hall When

peared they tore down the Red Cross
posters and destroyed the booth, tell
ing the booth chairman, a woman, that

that Christian Scientists were not in
sympathy with the Red Cross move
ment."
Albert F. Gilmore. the Christian
Scientist committee Cf publication for
the state, denied the incident took
place as described in the Red Cross
statement
THE story is not true" he said.
THE booth was standing in the lobby
at o'clock, after all those who at
tended the meeting had gone home.
Anything that may have been said to

sonal and unauthorized. The Church

80 Killed, SO Hurt
AS Trains Collide
Near Louisville
Fast Express Telescopes
Wooden Cars of Accom-
mediation at Station

SHEPHERDSVILLE, Dec. 20.-Thirty-
eight persons were killed and about
thirty-nine others injured tonight
when Louisville & Nashville passenger
train No. Z, from Cincinnati to New
Orleans. crashed into the rear Of a
Bardstovn, Louisville & Springfield
accommodation train just south of the
station here early tonight, according
TO W. +. Sheridan. superintendent Of
the Louisville Division.
First reports, apparently authentic,
had placed the number of known dead
at sixty-seyen. and the number of in
jured between forty and fifty, but this
was reduced when an official check-up
Of the figures was made.
No cause for the wreck was ass igned
by Mr. Sheridan, who would make no
statement. pending an investigation of
the tragedy.
From other sources it was learned
that the accommodation had left the
station, after making stop, when the
fast train came in sight, running at a
high rate of speed, and plunged into
the rear end of the train ahead. The
two wooden coaches and the baggage
car making up the lighter train were
telescoped.
A relief train was started from
Louisville at once, but by the time it
arrived the injured and the bodies of
the dead had been recovered from the
wrecked train. Thirty-fv Of the in
jured were placed aboard the relief
train and rushed 10 Louisville. Three
or four others were taken 20 private
homes in Shepherdsville, Superinten-
dent Sheridan reported. but be said he
had been unable TO learn the exact
number.
None Of the passengers aboard the
fast train were killed and none of
them received more than minor in
juries. Another locomotive and train
crew were sent here from Louisville.
and after detaching one baggage car
the New Orleans train went on as soon
as the right Of way was cleared.
Jesse Weatherford, telegraph opera
tor at the station here, said that, after
the accommodation train left the sta
tion he had thrown his block TO show
the track clear, and left the Office to
help handle baggage.
When he got outside he saw the fast
train approaching, ran back to the Of
fee, pulled his block TO show red,
seized a lantern and rushed to the
platform to flag il. He reached the
side Of the track just as the heavy
locomotive thundered by.

Explosive for u. S
Invaluable Chemical Vast
ed in Tests of Machinery,
Charge in Washington
lStdf Correspondence


WASHINGTON. Dec. 2O.-An inves-
tigaton Of the quality of the trini-
trotuluol supplied to the government,
ii is expected, will be included in the
inquiry OF the War Department by the
Senate Military Affairs Committee.
Reports of government explosive eX-
perts disclose that the contracts call
for an article only so per cent pure,
whereas the military experts declare
that almost absolute purity is essen
tial if the ammunition with which
American troops are being supplied ic
TO be wholly effective.
A large producing concern in Pitts
burgh recently installed machinery for
the production Of toluol, and investiga-
tion is now said to reveal that 20 per
cent of the stock of this concern which
made the apparatus is owned by the
Deutche Bank, while other Germans
are among the stockholders.
This fact in itself might have excited
no suspicion had it not been discovered
that in the preliminary trials Of the
machinery an immense quantity OF the
invaluable chemical was permitted to
run TO waste. The government, it is
declared by an authority whose infor-
nation has been turned over to the De-
rartment of Justice, has contented it
self with buying toluol from brokers
instead of making it or supervising its
manufacture.
: These facts are being laid before the
Senate committee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Radical
action is expected from the Administra-
ton in the immediate future which
may distract attention from the dis
closures of the Senate investigating
committees and will be calculated to
reassure the public as to the energy
and determination Of the Administra-
ton in the prosecution Of the war.
And radical action is called for. par
ticularly in regard TO transportation.
The country's production OF steel is
beginning TO be affected. The trouble
with steel is largely one Of transporta-
ton. One OF the largest and most
famous steel companies Of the country
faces the prospect Of having TO curtail
production because OF inability to
transport the materials necessary to
keep up its manufacturing processes.

Berlin Seeks a General Peace;
Plans New Offer Through Russia

Powers are ready to consider the ar
rancement OF peace on the basis OF no
annexations and no indemnities, but
pointed out that self-defnition Of ma
tions was impracticable.
The representatives Of the Central
Powers informed the Russians they
were ready to discuss peace prelim-
inares, but desired to know the result
of Russia's efforts to induce the Allies
to join in the negotiations before pro-
ceeding with them. They said this
point of view might be changed, how
ever, and that they might be willing to
discrss peace with Russia alone. The
Germans were Of the opinion that the
Russian armistice might influence the
other fronts.
The first conference was devoted
merely to a discussion of who would
participate in the negotiations.
