Dixie Flyer Wrecked
At Winnings, Ga; Several
Of Grew Injured

phasized in an exhibit Of Cuban trade
at the annual session Of the Nation
al Foreign Trade Council of the Uni
ted States at Cincinnati, o., April
1920. The great development OF
trade between the United States and
Cuba has given the island leading
position in this respect among the
nations of the western hemisphere.
Cuba's trade with the United States
is declared to exceed by large mar
gins that of Argentina, Brazil. Chile,
and Mexico. Last year the United
States took rs per cent Of Cuba's
export and supplied rs per cent Of
the islands import. 1t is expected
that the islands trade with the Uni
ted States will be even greater this
year.

BILE and gave the alarm.
First reports of the wreck indicat-
ed that several persons might have
been killed, and large number Of
automobiles left the city for the scene
at once. Physicians also went on the
regular northbound night train, which
transferred its mail and passengers
at the scene of the wreck. The fact
that no one was killed and so few
hurt was attributed by Engineer Bas-
sett to the fact that the train was
going at fast clip and cleared the
bridge before it gave way, and also
that the train was made up Of steel
cars. He thought that II the train had
been going slow the wreck would
have been much worse.

VICTORY SYNONYM FOR
BREAD IN GERMANY

London, April 1S.-"Victory now is
a synonym for bread in Germany" de-
clared Baron Rhondda, food control
Ter, in explaining to the Associated
Press the bearing of the German food
problem on the offensive In the West.
"It is a fight not for Paris, but for
food" he added. "The cry Of give US
bread resounds necessarily In Hin
fdenburg's ears, and in my judgment
that cry has set the German legions
moving.
1.-THE Kaiser hoped to starve us in
to submission by the U-boat warfare.
He failed The Russian and Ruman-
ian granaries prove to be nothing but
a mirage The despairing energies OF
hunger are at the heart OF this fury
of battle"
What do you think of events at
homer? the food controller was asked.
He replied:
1.-THE old emotion and unity which
we had In their first freshness in the
black autumn of 1914 are back again
in the health OF all. No man can look
without pride upon the temper Of COW
entry in these stirring days. Our best
comes to the top In the extremity"
After referring with pleasure to the
manner in which the British nation
had accepted food rationing, Lord
Rhondda concluded with tribute to
the United States, saying:
America is at one with US, and I
can never speak too warmly OF the
help she gives me so generously in
the matter of food supplies. We are
organized and armored against the
enemy. We are one people. That is
our reply to Germany"
