Elemental army troops such as heavy
artillery, will total a million men.
Instead Of one field army on Jan. /,

COLLISION NEAR NASHVILLE
Trains Came Together With Awful

Dead and Injured Was Most
Difficult.

Nashville. Tenn.-Because someone
Numbered at least 80 persons were
killed and many more injured when
passenger trains No. 1, from Memphis,
and No. 4, from Nashville, on the
Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis
railway collided head-on at 7;15 q. M,
at the foot of grade near here.
10th locomotives, three baggage
ears and six passenger coaches were
demolished
Fire, starting from the engine boil
ern, consumed two coaches, and a
number OF persons are reported to
have persisted in the flames.
Most Of the casualties appear to be
among negroes, many Of whom were
en- route from Memphis and Little
Rock in special coaches to Nashville
to work at the DUPONT powder plant.
The trains came together with a ter
rible crash that reverberated through

trains telescoped so badly that work
Of removing the dead and injured was
made most difficult. Long lines Of
automobiles piled the roads to the
city, taking the injured to hospitals.
Just where lies the blame it is Inn
possible now to say. Officials of the
road are silent, but one of three things
is reasonably sure-that the engineer
of No. was given wrong instructions,
ran by his signal or overlooked the
schedule on which he was supposed to
run. That he knew the Memphis train
to be little late leads to the con-
lecture that he was attempting to
reach the switch at Harding Station,
short distance beyond the scene of the
wreck before the inbound train ar
rived at that point.
The wreck is the worst disaster in
the history Of the Nashville, Chat.l-
nooga & st. Louis railway.
The railroad rushed relief trains 10
the scene of the wreck and In short
time hundreds of men were working
to rescue the victims.

by the baggage car of No /. Four

walls and their legs crushed. They
