Railroad Employees "Do Bit"
Both in Liberty Bond
Buyinq and Enlistments

1t has already been demonstrated
that there is no class of employees more
patriotic than railroad employees. Men
from all departments of the service
have enlisted in the war. either in the
railway engineers or other branches OF
the service in the Army. the Marine
Corps, the Navy. the Aviation Corps.
etc. and those who had to stay home
have purchased heavily in liberty
bonds. The first and second loans were
literally subscribed, and the third lib
erty loan has gone over the top at
the Southern railway system general
Office building, at 1900 Pennsylvania
avenue.
Oficers. heads Of departments and
clerks, both men and women. have gone

showing 100 per cent in subscribers.
and after the first drive large num-
Der of them matched the President"
on the second round.
1t is reported that a total of 1,1se
employees and officers located In the
building bought through the company,
or through other sources, a total of
$123.450 of the third liberty loan bonds
The thought Of the men from the gen.
sral office building who have already
gone to France had much to do with
encouraging others who remained be-
hind to back them up by purchasing
bonds.

TROOP TRAIN JUMPS
TRESTLE, I KILLED
Five Die Outright as Train
Leaves Camp Jackson, Two
Reach Hospital Dead.
By the Associated Press.


COLUMBIA, s. c., May 10.-Five SOL
diers were killed outright. two were so
badly injured that they died en- route
to the base hospital, four were very
seriously injured and eighteen moro or
less seriously injured when a wooden
passenger coach. loaded with soldiers
of the 321st Infantry and the s17th Ma
chine Gun Company, jumped a trestle at
Camp Jackson this morning.
The soldiers had just entrained for
Camp Sewer at Greenville and the train
was pulling out Of the camp at a very
low rate of speed. AS 1t approached a
trestle a big steel coach struck a
spreading rail. This hurled the wooden
coach Immediately in front down the
embankment. The front part Of the
steel coach jumped the track, but the
car did not turn over.
The wooden coach was badly de-
molished and it is considered miracu-
lous that any of the eighty men in it
escaped alive. The hospital train at
the camp was called out Immediately
after the wreck and in twenty minutes
all of the men had been removed and
the injured were in the base hospital.
Military authorities at the camp an
nounced that statement would be is
sued at the earliest possible minute
giving the names of the dead and the
injured and their home addresses.

. Effort to get tho ,eo.ooo.ooo housing
bill, which carries $1o.o00,o00 for the
District, considered by unanimous con-
sent in the House today was thwarted
by objection from Representative Stat
ford of Wisconsin. Chairman Clark Of
the House committee on public build
ings and grounds in asking for con-
sideration Of the conference report on
this measure, emphasized the fact that
these housing facilities are imme-
diately needed for the successful con-
duct of war work.
Majority Leader Kitchin told the
House that the Senate and House are
agreed upon this measure. and that
there is no serious difference between
them The biggest difference Of opinion
is that the House put the administra-
ton of the bill in the hands of the
Secretary of Labor. The Senate
changed this to put the administration
directly in the hands Of the President.

Outline Of Declaration.

The republicans are to be committed
unequivocally and wholeheartedly to
the prosecution of the war to a victo-
rious conclusion. However. criticism of
inefficiency and shortcomings will not
be spared when found to have basis of
fact. These are the principles which
National Chairman Hays and his CO.
workers advocate as cardinal doctrines
for the republicans:
First, that the republican party is
the "win-the-war-n party.
Second. the party stands for peace by
victory and not by compromise bar
gains.
Third. that the party advocates i'm
mediate preparation to meet conditions
arising after the war with a sound
protective tariff and conservative finan-
cial system.
