ANOTHER FREIGHT WRECK
ON BRANCH LINE

An accident to the freight train
seriously interfered with traffic
on the branch line Wednesday.
The high water which they have
been having the other side of
Clarkia has sOftened the road bed
and made it very rough. 1t is so
rough and uneven that a loaded.
freight car that was swaying
from side to side was finally over
turned into the ditch, wrecking
the train and blocking the road.
1t was necessary to send to this
city for tools to help clear the
track. The passenger train was
on this side when the wreck oc-
cured and only went as far as
Ciarkia. This is the second
freight wreck on TN branch in less
Than a week.

LARGE CROWD AT
MILITARY BALL

The military ball given by Com
anies A and B Of the home guard
Monday evening was one of the
most successful ever given in
this city. About 1870 tickets we're
sold and the large hall was crowd
ed To oVerflOwing. 1t became ne
cessary to ask spectators to take
seats i'm the gallery i'm order to
make room for the dancers.
An invitation had been extend
ed TO the officers and men of the
national guard company station
ed here and about forty of them
were present i'm uniform which
added very much to the general
effect.
There was very little expense
attached as almost everything
was donated. This leaves the
proceeds of the ball almost clear
to be used in purchasing uniforms
for Company A.

would do if it comes to actual war and
how we should do it are things to be
developed in the future. But this nation
has twenty millions of fighting men and
mas billions of dollars, largely in gold,
and has other available resources almost
equal to all the rest Of the world and a
navy which is second only to that Of
Great Britain. 1t may be that this
country is rather weak IN prepared
ness" but yet these figures mean much
when added to either of the belllgerents

That is, while two years battles have
shown that the Teutonic and the entente
allies have been about equally matched

tons will be far inferior IN strength il
Russia increases her hordes and the
United States join the entente allies
These facts are stated as only posi-
bllities, but on the other hand no SINH
lar possibilities appear at this time fol
the Teutons. 1t they are to have in.
creased forces they must come from

assistance.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

There has been but little of moment
along the battle lines. The ententes
continue to make small successes in the
Somme region. The German withdraw.
al there having come to stop and re.
sistance being made to farther advance
by the British. A continuance of pres.
sure along this local line might yet pre-.
clpitate the ''great spring drive" before
either party is quite ready.
In looking over the possible repara
tions for this supposed movement which
is expected to end the war with the
greatest battles of history one can at
tempt to size up the contestants. So
far as Germany is concerned it is not
probably. that she has been able to in.
crease the numbers of her army. Using
population figures and fair estimate of
losses she is not in condition to in
crease her soldiers numerically. The
balance of the Teutonic allies are pro-
ably in about the same condition, Tur-
key might perhaps find more men but
this balanced by the probability that
Austria is weaker than she was a year
ago.
On the other hand France is probably
just about like Germany, and has it's
full strength in the field, but no oppor-
tunity of increase. England has far
larger army than it had a year ago and
is possibly at its maximum strength,
though it might yet increase it to some
extent under extraordinary pressure.
But Great Britain has so large navy
that it will probably take all its surplus
men now to keep its ships manned as
we'll as to fill gaps in the army caused
by wounds and sickness.
There are however, two great nations
Of immense resources that may prove
the balance of power. By population
figures Russia has available total of
about thirty million men Of fighting age.
Up to this time, Russia has never want
ed for men but has wanted for arms and
munition. She has been particularly
short IN heavy cannon. It is claimed
that Russia is now equipped with arms
and that it is organizing one Of the great
est armies ever known. How much oi
this may be true will be proven later.
