A DISASTROUS COLLISION
To New York Lost In the
Wreckage-Victims Burned
Beyond Recognition.

Bristol, Pa.-Four men lost their
lives, three being burned to death;
three were injured, II horses killed,
nine cars burned and 30-odd cars, both
express and freight loaded with per
ishable food being rushed to relieve
the famine of food in cities were de-
stroyed in the worst wreck that ever
occurred on the New York Division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The wreck was mile and half
east of here early Sunday. The killed
are: William King, Wilmington, Del,
fireman of the engine on the express
train; Thomas tLong TonD Burrish
and Harry Dunlap, of Williamsport,
horsemen in the express car.
The injured are w. r. Hulihan, of
Williamsport; Thomas Bank, Of Tren-
ton, and Patrick Hoyes, engineer of
the express train.
Soon after 2 o'clock freight train
westbound was halted by one of the
cars having a broken axle. At 2.45
special Adams express bound from
the freight car with the broken axle
as it fell over on to track No. in
front of the express going east. The
heavy express jammed up and the
engine was thrown across the four
main tracks and car after car piled up
in heap. The wreckage caught fire
and soon the entire mass was ablaze
Bristol firemen were summoned,
and with the four companies Of the
department responding, fought the
flames for 10 hours Behind the engine
of the Adams Express special was
car filled with six horses, all racers
except a pony. The horses were IN

RESERVE ARMY OF
100000 MEN
General Staff's Universal Ser
vice Bill in Senate.
ANNUAL COST S472,258,746
100000 Youths 19 Years Old,
Mentally and Physically Fit,
With No Dependent Parents.

Washington. - The Army General
Staff Universal Service Bill was trans
mitted to the Senate Military Commit
tee by Secretary Baker without a dell
mite expression by the administration
either on the general subject or the
special proposal.
The Secretary said it was not
thought that Congress could give so
intricate problem consideration IL
the closing days of this session, but
suggested that wide publicity be given
the staff plan "to the end that both
Congress and the War Department
can, in any subsequent consideration
given to the subject, have the benef1t
of an enlightened, thoughtful public
opinion upon the needs and wishes OF
the country"
Gas yet" the letter of transmittal
continues, 81 am not prepared to say
officially for the War Department that
the need of the country can reasonably
be said to be for so great an establish
ment nor can we yet, without further
study and deliberation, be confident
that the means suggested are the most
appropriate to the need which it shall
be determined wise to foresee."
In round numbers the staff plan
would supply a trained force of 4.OOO,-
900 men, with one year OF intensive
military instruction. 1t is estimated
by the War College that approximate
ly 100000 boys in their nineteenth
year would be available for training
annually. They would, under the plan,
be liable to call. to the colors until 81
years of age, passing after the first
II months Of their training to the first
reserve for the next four years and
one month, then into the second re-
serve and finally into the unorganized
reserve, until they reached the age
of As.
The purpose of the bill is to con-
stitute the first reserve as a fully Or
ganized and equipped fighting force
with strength of 100000 ready to
respond instantly to call to arms.
The second reserve, of equal size, but
only partially equipped, would require
some time to take the field. Eventual
ly there would be 100000 additional
trained men ready to fill in gaps at
the front.
In addition to these forces there
would be a regular army, composed
of men choosing military life as pro-
fession, of 24,400 officers and 1886
enlisted men. OF these $4,000 would
form the oversee forces and $4,000 the
frontier forces, the remainder compos-
ing the permanent training personnel
which could take care of the instruc-
ton. of from 1886 to 654,292 reserve
recruits annually. If the proportion
of available men for training was
greater than the figure given the per-
manent training force would have to
| be proportionately increased.

the better cultivation of the crop and
better prices on account of quality and
the manner of packing. The meeting
was largely attended by farmers
throughout the county. No price was
agreed upon by the growers for this
years contract with canneries but that
point will be settled by the association
before the crop is contracted for. 1t
was the general opinion at the meet
ing that the crop would not be offered
for less than SIS ton, delivered at
the canneries. It is claimed by those
interested that before the tomato crop
is contracted for the association will
have $50 members, including the larg-
est tomato growers in Wicomico. Last

The Attorney General of the
United States, who is required to be
a meet person, learned in the law,
might have issued a warning to those
who are technically alien enemies of
the United States resident therein,
to the effect that obedience to the
statutes made and provided was
hereby enjoined and that silence con-
cerning questions of doubtful dispu-
tation was commended. What he did
say was more readily understood:
"Obey the law; keep your mouth
shut"

any good German, trained in his
own country, to respect authority
and obey the law. One should
henceforth understand also that a
certain kind of conversation either in
public or private is verboten.

First, the Straitjacket

There is only one way in which
the members of the Emergency
Peace Federation and the rest of the
pacifists can help dethrone the
Kaiser. This is by getting behind
the guns of the United States. Be-
fore "helping" a violently insane
man it is necessary to put him in q
straitjacket. When the German
people have been sufficiently Gained
by an international straitjacket it
may be possible then to 'help" them
comprehend and remove the cause
of their mental disorder.
