 Train Due to Wreckers

First Liuet. Frank R. Bloom, U. s. A., en route to Pine Bluff to visit his parents. MT. and Mrs. E.. B. Bloom, was on board the Missouri Pacific Sunshine Special" when it was wrecked near Hope yesterday morn- ing, causing the death of Engineer Charles Deering of Little Rock and Fireman A. Walker pQ Texarkana, and injury of a number of passengers and members of the train crew.
 There is little doubt that the train was wrecked deliberately. said Lieutenant Blom upon his arrival here last night. "The switch lock had been broken. and the switch open ed. The train, which was running at a rate of about 50 miles an hour, ran onto the siding and off the emIbank- ment. Five or six cars left the track. Four of the steel cars were damned against each other, and stopped rest ing sideways across the track. as though put there by giant derrick. It was an all-steel train, and this fact alone prevented terrific loss of life"
 The Engine, Lieutenant Bloom said, 'ploughed into the mud, the engineer probably being killed at his seat The fireman, was found to one side. Both had been killed instantly. The sleeper in which Lieutenant Bloom was riding left the rails but, did not entirely leave the embankment. The front end droped down into the mud and the rear end was tilted in the air.
 An army surgeon, Dr. Skinner. and Mrs. Myrtle Underw0d, were in the same car. "We were about the only |pacple who kept our heads. It was not surprising that Dr. Skinner and did so, but the way that little lady acted was remarkable. She helped

 Altho it cannot be said the Ger mans in their new offensive have

 from them. So great has been the casualties suffered that the Prussian
 guards division, the pride of the Ger man crown prince," is declared to l have been withdrawn from the battle.
 French Gain Ground.
 Particularly hard fighting again has been in progress between Sois- sons and Chateau Thiery where the Germans are endeavoring to push fur |ther towards Paris. But not alone Fhaye the French troops everywhere Successfully withstood the onslaughts, |but on several sectors themselves have taken the initiative and gained ground On the whole the situation |abng this line is relatively unchang- |d.
 E The German war office at last has |admitted that the allied line on the west has been reinforced by fresh lmits, but it asserts that they have |fct been able to hold the positions 10 which they were assigned. Never |sleess the fact is patent from an ob- |serVatfon of the war maps that almost everywhere the German line, for the moment at least, is being hard held. From Chatau Thierry eastward along |lne Marne and thence to Rheims. the a1tuation is virtually unchanged from nat Of Sunday. The enemy now lolds the southern bank of the Marne lor 2 distance of about 15 miles, but S yet he has made no serious endea- your to cross the stream. '

An Atlantic Port, June 4.-Hover- ing for two days over the sea where the American tanker William Rocke- feller had been sunk by German submarine, flotilla of destroyers and two seaplanes finally succeeded in capturing the U-boat, according to the naval officers, survivors of the disaster, who landed here today.

closely watched by destroyers and their accompanying seaplanes for any sign of the u-boat speeding from the scene of it's encounter. No trace of the submersible evidently was seen for the boats stayed in the neighbor- hood and waited for the U-boat to make it's appearance. At last the sub- marine, which had stayed below the surface so long that it's air tanks had become exhausted, rose to the sur face and was netted.

 Submarine blockade in the princi- pal transport lanes and about the ter ritory containing the principal em. barkation points for the American army has long been counted upon by American naval officers as one of Germany's last cards. and prepara- tions have been made to meet 1t.
