Nashville, Tenn, July 9.-At least
one hundred persons were killed and
as many more were injured shortly
after seven o'clock this morning when
Nashville, Chattanooga a. ST. Louis

Der one. from Memphis, and number
four, from Nashville. crashed head
on just around the sharp, steep
graded curve at Dutchman's Bend,
about five miles from here.
Both engines reared and fell on
either side of the track masses of
twisted iron and steel, while the fear
ful impact of the blow drove the ex-
press car of the nOrthbound train
through the wooden coaches loaded
with human freight, telescoping the
smoking car in front and piling high
the two cars behind it, both packed
to the aisles with negroes en- route
to the powder plant here, and about
100 other regular passengers.
Just where lies the blame has not
been ascertained. Officials of the
road are silent. But one Of three
things is reasonably sure-that the
engineer of number four 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 lit
tie late leads to the conjecture 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 scene Immediately after the
collision is indescribable. Those es-
Gaping unhurt, or with lesser in
juries fled in panic. The cornfield on
both sides Of the track was trampled
by many fcct and Uttered with frag-
monis of iron and wood from the de-
molished ears. The dead lay here and
there grotesquely sprawling where
they fell The dying moaned appeals
for aid or speechless, rolled their
heads from side to side and writhed
in agony.
Everywhere there was suffering
and chaos
From the wreckage, beneath which
many still lived, shrieks and muffled
cries arose and here and there help

speedy deiiverance or death.
As soon as possible every avail
able doctor and nurse was rushed to
the scene. and steady stream OF am
oulanccs and automobiles, loaded by

Washington, May 22.-The first
skirmish in a fight to force President
Wilson to exercise his wartime au-
thority to prohibit the manufacture
of light wines and beers, as we'll as
whisky, was won by dry advocates in
the house.
Sitting as a committee of the whole,
the house adopted, SO to 5S, an
amendment to the food production
bill prohibiting the expenditure OF
any part Of the $11,000,000 the meas
ure carries until the president issues
proclamation prohibiting the use
of foodstuffs in the manufacture OF
intoxicating liquor in any form. The
amendment, offered by Representa-.
tive Randall of California, Prohibi-

the house before final passage of tho
bill and opponents expect to defeat

"CUFFER Little Children to come unto me-" de-
~ clared the compassionate Christ
But never since He dwelt in flesh upon the earth
have there been so many Little Children" in need OF
compassion
There are the Little Children" who have gone to
France for you and me and for Christendom and by
going have given their all. Can you do less? Shall
you keep from your boy your neighbors boy that
which is symbolic of the Compassionate One by neg
lecting the call of the Red Cross Mother?
Then there the uncounted Little Children"
of our allies who have fallen wounded and i'll in de-
tense of their home fires. Who but the Red Cross
Mother can know the suffering, the anguish, of the
shell-torn thrst-stricken soldier who lies upon the
ghostly bed of No Mans Land? Will you deny him
the Iife-giving cup?
Think also of the Little Children" of devastated
lands Some are Little Children" in size and tender
years. Others alas, mature in stature and age,
but none the less Little Children" in their helpless
ness-ther abject need. Can we in our plenty with
hold from them the bare bread of existence? Can
we still our inner voice with the thought that others
will bear our burden, when in heart must
know that there others?
The Red Cross helps who does not need
help hundred times more than we need the money.
Therefore let us give, give until feel it, give until
it pinches Then and only then shall know that
we have indeed offered the Little Children of the
war the tender compassion of a nation.

OUTLOOK is EXCELLENT
For the Adoption of the State Prohibi'
ton Amendment In November.

Columbus, Ohio.-Leaders in the
campaign to vote Ohio dry in Novem-
her are much gratifed over the out
look. They report an optimistic spirit
among workers and determination
on the part Of the people to close the
breweries and saloons and save man
power and food stuffs. There is also
a feeling that the beer business is
more or less pro-German and that
the patriotic thing to do is to get
rid Of it.
The petitions to initiate the Prohi-
bition amendment are in the hands Of
the County Dry Organizations, and in
many Of the counties they are being
circulated and the voters are anxious
to sign. Many former vets are said
to be signing the dry petitions this
year, and are offering their time and
money TO help put the amendment
across.

of Jan. 2S, when So people were killed
and 173 were injured.
This was the sixth raid of the year,
the last one having been made March

No Use For Wet Town.


Uncle Sam does not have much use
for wet town. He maintains a dry
zone about training camps, demands
that wet towns near soldier stations
clean up or shut up their saloons, ano
prohibits the selling or giving o1
giving of liquor to soldiers in uni
form.
Now the government has issued g
new army order which says soldiers
in truck companies must camp out
side wet towns. This prevents such
companies being entertained in towns
if those towns tolerate saloons.
And yet some people do not seem
to realize that Prohibition is part
of the war program.
