TROTzKY IN new YORK

Leon Trotzky, Russian minister OF
foreign affairs, made a deep impress
sion upon fellow Socialists during his
short stay in New York. He remained
only few months-from late in De-
cember, 1916. until early In April Of
last year-but In that time, while llv-
ing In penury with his wife and two
sons In a three-room apartment In the
Bronx, he succeeded In interesting So
clalists everywhere In his propaganda
for a general peace.
Trotzky was hard up" Exiled
from Europe, he arrived In New York
penniless. But his reputation as one
of the most aggressive advocates Of
social revolution had preceded him,
and his welcome here was cordial.
His workshop was the little edi-

revenue seems to have been public

HOT METAL POURS
 OVER INJURED MEN
Three Men Frightfully In- jured at Ensley in Rail-
 road Collision

Two white men were literally roasted to death and third had his leg sev- cred from his body as result of a collision that occurred last night between a "hot metal special and Birming- ham Southern freight train. The acci- dent occurred about S:30 o'clock near the Thirty-fifth street crossing at Ems ley.o sfs4
 The victims are Conductor Coy Brown, Engineer McWilliams and Fireman Har- ris of the metal train. who were rushed to the T. C. l. hospital for treatment It was reported at an early hour this morning but little hope was held out for thelr recovery. The cause of the accident is supposed to have been split switch.
 Molten metal from the Bessemer blast furnaces was being conveyed to the Ems ley steel mill, in large ladle holding tons of the iquid iron, and as little time is lost in making the trip the "special' was making, good time while headed to- wards the steel mill. The freight train came from an opposite direction and each engineer thought he was in the clear, when suddenly the two trains met on the same track, resulting in the metal train crew being thrown to the ground. and when the ladle upset the molten iron reached the men and they were fearfully burned before rescued.
 Officials of both companies were quick " on the scene and everything done that was possible for the injured men.

Dr. J. c. Broomfield, Methodist min ister now engaged in war work for the Y. M. c. A., will preach at the South side Baptist church on Sunday morning and evening, and due to the wonderful address he made at the luncheon of the allied armies last Tuesday, and the fa- vorable comment upon his scholarliness, as well as his eloquence, which has the punch and pep of an army man, there is no doubt but that the congregation at both services will fill the spacious au- ditorirm.
 Dr. Broomfield is a Scotchman and has that snap and vigor in his delivery that makes him very attractive speaker. lie is never out of action a moment while he is on his feet. As Y. M. c.

He is in Alabama to work in the coming war drive for the unified campaigns, and it was the good fortune of the Southside Baptist church to secure him for Sunday, in view of the fact that their new pastor has not yet arrived.
 Dr. Broomfield has wonderful power oT description, and his references to the war are graphic. scintilatng With facts and gripping with interesr, added to which he injects a dynamic personality that compels ones attention.

 REM ARK ABLE FEAT
 In taking Chalenrange and the heights of Croix-des Soudans, Gour- aud's troops have accomplished an- other remarkable feat. There is prob ably nothing more formidable in the Hindenburg line anywhere than the defenses which the Germans had raised here to defend their access to the region commanding the valley of the Aire and Grand P.
 After breaking through lines of trenches and barbed wire five miles deep, General Gouraud attacked this position and carried it against rein- forced troops that counter attacked him three times in vain.
