They were in motor engine 0102, crumpled the rear of Ms1way-Harlem River extra 9eS freight just west of the signal station.
 The crash threw the motor engine crosswise on the tracks and both men were wedged in the cab. Eight cars of the leading freight were thrown over all four tracks. The wreckage caught fire, but this was quickly ext1nguisned.
 An official explanation of the ac- cident has not been made. Among railroad men here it was stated that an extra train, thought to be a work train was using the track at East Portchester, and extra 0gS stopped to get a clearance. The train drawn by motor O1O2 came up behind it.
 John Brazz, who was hagman on the 09S freight, was taken to police head quarters here until Coroner Phelan completes his inquiry. It is said that all signals were properly set. When the collision came the overhead wires of the electric system broke and short
 
 ter the current in the energized zone was cut off and remained off during the morning to permit of repairs of the catenary system.
 It was stated by members of the freight crews that Engineer Brickley probably was little hurt after the crash.
 He was heard to call out to the men:
 Here I am, fellows" They rushed to the place and while they could not see him because the motor engine was covered with wood from the caboose which had been crushed, they thought he was comparatively free under heath. They started to rescue him but the flames suddenly assumed headway and he died. Both Brick ley's and Rust's bodied were burned to a crisp. L. H. White was in the ca aboose but later he reported that he escaped unhurt through the roof and other crew members of his train escaped injury.

roast beef $1.00 to $1.20 per pound,
| though | saw other meat marked
"boef" at 80 cents, which, / am adj
vised probably was not beef. / found
that the reports in America touching
the price of coal in France were not
exaggerated. Coal last winter was
fifty to sixty dollars ton in con-
siderable lots, while the small pur-
chaser was charged $4,000 for brick
coal and $4,000 per ton for anthra
oite. These are prices in Paris to the
consumer.
In fact these high prices are due to
shortage of shipping and in part they
are due to the profiteers in France.
Mr.. Hoover told me the other day
that immense profit is made between
the time the produce is unloaded at
the dock and the time it is sold to
the consumer. He then cited lard
where the consumer is asked to pay
three to four times as much as the
price of lard landed in France. To
meet this condition the policy reco
mended by Premier Clemenceau is to
be tried out, and throughout the Gar
den of Tuileirs, sheds are being erect
ed where the French government pro-
poses to place on sale to the people
commodities that they must have and
in this way break down the monopo
listic control of food stuffs.
And right here a word must be said
for the U. S. Army canteen and the
canteen of the Red Cross and pos
sibly other organizations. On my
way back to the hotel from the mar
kets, | noticed on side street the U.
S. flag, and by it the flag of the
Red Cross, and the sign "Red Cross
Canteen." | turned in and met here
a genuine American woman in charge
who introduced me to one or two of
her assistants and explained to me
the way in which the canteen ope-
rates. At this canteen thousand
meals are served in day and our
soldier boys are able to get for
farnc a very good breakfast, and for |
a very small charge, franc | believe, !
two hundred and fifty American boys 1
can be accommodated with beds for /
the night When the soldiers are not
with their commands, and when they
are away for short periods on leave
they are able through the organlza-
lions the American people are sup
porting to find reasonable accOmmo-
dations. They are also able through
the army canteen and through can
teens of the Red Cross, and other
groups to procure necessary articles
without paying the exorbitant prices
demanded in the markets and in the
stores.
Very truly,

THRILLS SPOKANE
MOSCOW MINISTER WINS HIGH
PRAISE FOR READINGS AT
THE DAVENPORT

SPOKANE.-The drama league OF
Spokane held well-attended meeting
last evening in the Elizabethan room
of the Davenport hotel
George Greenwood, the president,
outlined the aims of the league, made
several announcements, and then in
troduced the Rev. w. H. Bridge OF
the University of Idaho, who gave
1.-THE Open Door," by Sutro, and "The
WILL" by Barrie.
Mr. Bridge has the faculty of CIV
ing atmosphere and body to the plays
he reads. They are interesting as
literature and as drama.
"The Open Door," by Sutro, is one
of those revelations of what woman
thinks of love and marriage, which
in it's divided allegiance is such be-
wildering commentary on domestlc
and marital relations. The characters
are finely drawn, the mans simple,
clear. unalterably loyal both to love
and friendship, the womans a dual
personality, divided mentality, the
penalty exacted from the sex which
must acquiesce in the moves of the
dominant players.
1.-THE WILL by Barrie, is a COM
mentary on the insidious ravages OF
the love of gold on the character.
Possibly it is an extreme example,
and the contrasts are forcibly picked
out in white and black, but that
makes the drama more telling.
Mr.. Bridge held his audiences in
rapt attention throughout the eve
ming, giving the scenes with real APP
probation of their meaning and their
value.

true that much American money has

the country is poor and food is not
abundant. This latter we did not
notice so much in Brest, or Tours, or
GieureS, but we did notice it in Paris.
In all the places we stopped there
were dim lights, rooms underwear,
and general evidence of an endeav-
or to save on the part of the people.
But the prices of food stuffs were not
so expensive as I had anticipated.
In Paris, however, there is large
population, and the food problem is
not simple one. Ny first breakfast
consisted of an orange, bread partly
toast, and butter, two eggs and a cup
of what might be called coffee. The
cost was 7.30 francs or about $1.35.

those who are deeply concerned as to
the success of the meetings. Rev.
Perry was at his best and spoke for
a reverant love of God, due respect
for self, plea for the place where
life begins, the home, and love for
all mankind Mr. Perry, among other
things, said:
much had / rather send my girls
out into the world with natures en-
dowments and the image of Christ
upon their souls than to send them
forth with large reserves of this
worlds goods and without the image.
God instituted the home before the
church. How pitiful the home where
the boy and girl never hears the name
of God upon the lip of parents in
prayer. 1t is consistent with a deep
humility before God that we also
maintain high regard for ourselves.
To sin against self is as great a sin
as to sin against another The
Christian man is an ambassador from
the court of heaven and it is befitting
that he bear himself we'll. We are
to love all men. The ideal church
is made up of the rich and the poor,
those who are highly endowed and
the less fortunate. In the Christian
community, the church, all men may
meet upon common level in Christ"
