 BOTTLlNG WORKS

An important business deal was ccnsumated yesterday when it was an- neunced by Stuart A. Griggs, manager of the Celery Wig Bottling company, that his concern had purchased the bottling plant of Theodore F. Metz, a pioneer in the Warren district, and hereafter would conduct the affairs of the concern.
 In outlining the policy of the newly Iacquired interest, MT. Griggs said that the manufacture and sale of Celery Wig would be pushed harder than ever for several reasons. In the first place the drink is becoming mere popular every day; secondly the recent govern mental ruling eliminating 50 per cent of the sugar used by manufacturers from their future business, makes Gel cry Wig the logical drink for the com pany to center upon as it requires no sugar. Honey and other naturally sweet ingredients are admirable sub stitutes.
 It is not the intention of the com pany to neglect the manufacture and sale of soda water. but MT. Griggs in augurated his control Of the local situ ation by announcing higher prices, which he considered justified by con ditions surrounding manufacture in the local field.

VON KUEHLNANN RESIGNS FROM
 SECRETARYSHIP
Friction Aroused By His At titude on Foreign Outlook
 Results in His Handing Res ignation to German Ruler
lRv Rerlew T.eased Wirel

PARIS. July 9.-The German em- peror has accepted the resignation of Dr. Richard Von Kuehlmann, the Ger man foreign secretary, according to a Basel dispatch to the Havas agency. It is expected that Admiral Von Hintze, the German minister at ChTistiana and formerly minister to Mexico, will sue ceed him.
 Dr. Richard Von Kuehlmann became foreign minister August 6, 1917. sue ceeding Dr. Alfred F. M. Zimmerman, whose retirement closely followed the exposure of his plot to involve the United States in war with Mexico and Japan in the event that this country showed any inclination to join the en- tente -,allies. Dr. Won Kuehlmann's conduct of the foreign office appeared to be more than usually successful until June 25 last, when he appeared before the reichstag to discuss the political aspects of the situation fac ing Germany. During his address he said:
 "In view of the magnitude of this war and the number of powers, incIud- ing those from overseas that are en- gagged. it's end can hardly be expected through military decision alone and without recourse to diplomatic nego- tiations."
 This statement which fiatly contra dtcted speeches by the German em- peror who only a short time before had referred to peace being won by "the strong German sword" was re- .ceived with consternation in the reich stag and with sharp criticism by the country. It was later reported that Dr. Von Kuehlmann's words had been approved by General LudendOerf, the German commander on the western front
 This brought to notice rumors of friction between LudendOrff and the German crown prince and his cOterle who comprise the radical pan-German- ic elements in official circles.
 Socn after the address in the reich stag, it became common knowledge that Dr. Von Kuehlmann's retirement from office would be forthcoming Some reports were to the effect that his address was intended to inform the German people that their armies could not win the war. and was de livered with the cognizance of the en- peror. who. when he saw that storm had been stirred up, resolved to make Von gEuehlmann the scapegoat.

 NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 10.-
 At an early hour this morning the
 total number of identified and un-
 identified dead from yesterday
 collision on the Nashville Chatta-
 nooga and St Louis railroad near
 here reached 125. The injured
 number is seventy-three, many of
 them serious.
 NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 9.-At least 100 persons, most of them ne groes. were killed and as many more injured in a head-On collision today between two passenger trains on the Nashville, Chattanooga and St Louis railway at Dutchman's Bend, i've miles from this city.
 Most of the killed and injured were on local train from Nashville which carried several coaches full of work men. going to a nearby powder plant. The other train was an express rom Memphis and the west and after the two engines had reared and fallen be- side the track, the hea7y coaches of the express ploughed through the bag gage car on the accommodation train and demolished the other coaches.
 As the crews of both locomotives were killed the cause of the collision may never be established. The ex- press train was running late and one theory advanced was that the engi- neer Of the accommodation train may have disregarded signals and tried to make a switch just beyond where the wreck occurred before the Memphis train arrived. There also was the pos sibility that he may have been given wrong instructions.
 Three investigations of the wreck were expected, one by officials of the road another by state officials and a third by the railroad administration;
 Only a few women were among the killed. Most of the white persons killed were in the telescoped smoking car oi the accommodation train. Among the killed were:
 Priv. John P. Hussey, Uhlian, H.; Wilson B. Harris of the naval re- serves. and a member of the marine corps named Alexander.
 Eight persons, all negroes, who were injured, died in local hospital tonight.
