MORNING PASSENGER
RUNS OFF SWITCH.
Main Line to Cities Blocked Today
by Wreck at Monho.e.

Following the Great Northern wreck
at Howard Lake yesterday it was but
to be expected that another would
soon follow, at least many railroad
men will tell you that accidents al
ways come in, lunches. And sure
enough the second wreck occurred
today. No. 20, the local passenger
to the Cities, ran of the track at
Montrose. It seems that workmen re-
pairing a switch at that place had not
placed everything properly and the
train ran off humping up against q
freight on the side track. We have
not learned If anyone was seriously
hurt. Mrs. VIM. Westberg of Willmar
was a passenger and telephoned her
husband this morning that she had
been bruised about one shoulder but
not hurt otherwise. The track was
blocked, however, and No. 13 and the
west bound mail train came by way
Of st. Cloud today.

London, Dec 26--Ruinous naval
competition with America, in which
America will obtain supremacy of the
seas and which will be followed by
fratricdal war, is the warning in

unless British statesmen decide to

Wilson in the council chamber but
the article adds.
He holds some strong cards If he
has the courage and determination to
play them. In the first place he is
the financial pnaster of the world.
and the possibility of reconstruction
depends upon the support of Ameri-

can build, so can he. any naval SUI
premacy of the future. If supremacy
there is to be. it will be American,
not British.
There lies now before the world
choice between life and death. That
choice must be made at the peace

get from our leadertno clear call, An
obscure struggle seehls to be proceed

about the president hangs no
