MILITARY OCCUPATION OF
 RUSSIA BY ALLIES UNLIKELY
For Present the Movement Will Be Confined to Economic Assistance.

Washington, July 9.--Entente gov ernments through their embassies in Washington are now fully advised of the views of the Washington admins trat:on as to the best means of carry ing out President Wilson's pledge to stand behind Russia It is under stood that a project is taking sflap which it is hoped will counteraet Ger man influence and lead the people to rehabilitate themselves without ex- citing distrust of t,sa unselfish motives which lie behind it. While any off, cial statement of the administration policy still Is withheld, there Is req son to believe that the proposal to send American business men to Rus sia to carry material aid to the peo- , pie, with armed guards to insure the safety of the personnel and supplies l from German aggression. is forming l the basis of the negotiations now pro- ceeding with unusual rapidity between l Washington and the entente capitals 1 Only it is assumed a new phase | through injection of idea to make the commission and armed guards inter national in composition, thus tending to disarm any suspicion on the pres- ent Russian that their country is to l be exploited in the interests of single power.
 This measure is far short of the orig
 inal desires of the entente govern
 ments. which frankly favored the dis
 patch into Siberia and perhaps ineo
 European Russia through the Arcfi-
 angel or Kola route, of joint mili- tary expedition. But it is believed that
 in the absence oe full American ap- provai of this plan the entente pow CTS have been brought to the point
 where they are willing to at least sane tion the experiment of peaceful pene-
 tration and that negotiations now in
 progress to arrange the details of this
 enterprise. At any rate, the fact de-
 veloped today that some action is inn

New York, July 9.-Fusion next fall between the democrats and republicans in the f2th congressional district to elect Oscar s.

 The movement to bring about Rep resentative London's defeat is based l it is said, upon the belief that none but those who are in complete accord
 with the national war policy should ] occupy seats in congress.

The work of clearing away the wreckage is proceeding slowly and it is believed that some bodies are buried in the debris For that reason the exact number of dead had not been determined tonight. Tie injured were brought to Nashville in ambulances and are being cared for at hospitals here. The dead were brought to nor gues in this city.
 As the crews of both locomotives were killed the causes of the accident may never be established. The ex- press train was running late and one theory advanced was that the engineer of the accommodation train may have disregarded signals and tried to make switch just behind where the wreck occurred before the Memphis train ar- rived. There also was the possibility that he may have been given wrong 1 instructions.
 Three investigations was begun, one by officials of the road, another by state officials and third by the rail- road administration.

Amsterdam. July 9.-Denying ru- mors which have been circulating in Austria Hungary regarding Empress Zita, the correspondent at Vienna of the Tijd says:
 Tt is true the Austrian empress partly desires peace and has with proper dignity advocated it. but the rumor that an energetic Austrian of fensive against Italy was delayed by her influence is slanderous, as also is the rumor that the empress was to blame for one or two setbacks which followed the offensive.
 Tt is still more slanderous to in volve her honor as woman The empress, whose sensitiveness is well known, suffered not little under the imputations, which have driven her to a sick bed.
