The United States hospital ship
Comfort, with 4O1 wounded soldiers
from the American Expeditionary
Force In France, should have arrived
in port yesterday and her non-appear-

Overdue Report Denied.
A report that the ship was four days
overdue was promptly denied by Brig
Gen. George II. McManus. command"
ing at Hoboken. The General was con-
cerned lest the report alarm relatives
or friends of the soldiers aboard the
hospital ship.
There is no cause for a%pprehen-
sion" said Gen. McManus. "All ships
have been coming In late owing to
storms at sea. We did not expect the
Comfort before to-day, and the iact
that We have had no wireless report
from her may be due to something
having gone wrong with her wireless
a~pparatus. She il small, but h Is
very stout and seaworthy and can take

BUT ONE INJURY SERIOUS
greensboro Local Rips Into
Another Standing at 57th
Street Station.

The atmosphere in the vicinity of
Second venue and F~ifty-seventh
street at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
was as clear as the air of the higher
attitudes OF Arizona, and the sun was
helping I'd illuminate a perfect day in
late autumn Nevertheless a motor
man driving n three car train along
a straight stretch of rails on the up
per deck" single track, which is super
imposed on the regular double track
line of the Second avenue elevated
system above the Fifty-sevcnth street
IL" station. permitted mis- train to
slam into the real end of a train wait
ing at the station.
The train that was hit, which also
was made up of three cars, fortunately
contained no passengers. In the three
car train which hit the stationary train
were many men, women and children,
all OF whom had just come across the
Greensboro Bridge In the train which
did the damage.
One Seriously Injured.
When the train from Queens banged
into the standing train the front plat
form of the oncoming train and natu-
rally the real platform OF the train
which was hit crumpled together--iron
gates, wooden platforms. %protruding
eaves-like an exhausted accordion.
One passenger on the onconiing
train was seriously hurt and eighteen
other passengers or the cars which
did the damage suffered from shock
and bumps and bruises. The injured
man was Harris Linder, SO years old,
a shoemaker living at 1912 Finley
avenue, The Bronx, who was taken to
Bellevue Hospital, where II was said
last night hat his skull had been
fractured. Another passenger on the
oncoming train. Daniel Locker. 81. a
laborer living at 2O61 Bathgate avenue,
The Bronx, had his ribs fractured.
Locker. like all the passengers except
Under, went home after receiving first
aid treatment on the platform OF the
station.
Governor on h Scene.
Somebody t~elephoned Gov. Whitman,
who was at the st. Regis Hotel. and
District Attorney Swami al twenty
people had been killed. Gov. Whit
man came early to the Gene, hut re-
manned only n few minutes. District
Attorney Swami arrived n few minutes
later, accompanied by four assistants.
+. J. II. Kracke, Public Service Com
missioner. also was among the early
investigators of the wreck. The Dis
trict Attorney had a talk at the East
Fifty-first' street police station with
the motorman. Edward J. Coyle. Of 739
Bronx avenue. The Bronx. whose train
did the damage. and Mr.. Swami also
supervised the collecting OF a large
sackful Of splinters which had been
Clipped off tire wooden cars when they
crashed.
The motorman OF the offending train
said his brakes were weak. lie ad-
mitted that the signals were set
against him, but that probably the
grease on a curve some distance above
the scene OF the accident had got onto
the wheels and made the brakes un-
serviceahle. The accident tied up TIE

aIler the strenuous work OF the spring
months. A large number, of town
people from Argyle, Stephen, Warren,
Alvarado, and others towns in the
county, were also present to mingle
with the farmers and enjoy the day
communing with nature. Thanks to
the automobile and the good roads
movement such large gathering from
widely scattered localities was made
possible. Relatives and friends who
had not seen one another for years,
perhaps, met at this picnic to exchange
greetings. The automobile and good
roads have. surely done much to make
rural life happy and attractive.
A picnic dinner was enjoyed in the

CROPS AND THE WEATHER.

Crops are still looking fine but we
need rain soon. The showers received
in June have been too light, and far
between to make crop conditions ideal.
Many fields of wheat are suffering
now from lack of moisture However,
if the rain is not delayed too long, the
expected big crop will materialize.
The next two weeks will largely deter
mine. what kind Of a crop the Red Ri
yer Valley will produce this year.
