Twelve Injured
in Train Collision
G. X. & |. Trains Meet Head-On
North of PetOskey.

Twelve persons were injured, none
of them fatally, Tuesday evening when
the q. X. & |. suburban train to Alan
son and an extra freight train, south
bound, met in a head-on collision near
Wayagamug, mile south OF Conway.
The engines OF both trains were almost
completely demolished, and were stood
on end in a peculiar position. The en-
gine tenders and cabs were completely
broken to pieces.
The second coach OF the passenger
train did not leave the rails but the
first coach was battered in on one end
and twisted up a bit. Both coaches
and the tender broke loose from the
engine and were driven back down the
track two car lengths by the impact
when the trains came together.
The freight train also recoiled slightly
and several cars crumpled up and lay
twisted and broken across the roadbed.

The passenger train had made stop
at Round Lake and was not yet under
much speed, passengers say. Had it
been under full headway il is believed
more people would have been injured.
The passenger train carried people
for Conway, Oden, Ponshewaing and
Alanson and was the last suburban
train OF the day for those points.
Within few minutes after the acci-
dent the injured were brought to
Petoskey and taken to Petoskey hospi-

STORY OF MUNITIONS IS TOLD
Government Publishes Volume Giving
Official History Of "Amerlca's Num-
tions"-Enemys Spring Offensive In
1918 Brought Cry for "Men, Moro
Men"-Year 1920 Set as Goal for
Which America Should Strive.

The war demonstrated that the ma
tlon can "organize, train and transport
troops Of a superior sort at rate
which leaves far behind any program
for the manufacture of munitions" AS
sistant Secretary CrOwell, director Of
munitions, declared In his Introductory
summary to the official history Of
Americas Munitions"
A critic has an easy opportunity to
discover that certain things were not
done, Secretary Crowell frankly says,
and then enumerates the outstanding
failures:
American airplanes did not arrive
at the front In sufficient numbers
American guns In certain essential cal
ibers did not appear at all; American
gas shells were not fred at the enemy
American troops fought with French
and British machine guns to large
extent"
Goal Seemed Far OF.
Reviewing the historical facts which
have been cited as explaining these
unaccomplished hopes Mr.. Crowen
pointed out again that 1920 had been
definitely set by the allied governments
as the goal for which America should
strive; that "the decision to prepare
heavily for 1919-1920 and to sacrifice
for 1917-1918 the munitions which
might have been produced at the cost
of less adequate preparation for the
more distant future was based on
sound strategical reasoning on the part
of the allies and ourselves"
The official program for American
cooperation, adopted by the supreme
war council, is stated to have COM
prised four lines of endeavor. which,
In degree Of Importance, were:
To keep the allies from starvation by
shipping food.
To maintain the flow Of material al
ready In production for them.
To send as many men as could be
transported by available shipping.
To bend all energies to the future
great army which would deliver the
final blow.
When the enemy's spring offensive
brought the cry for 'men-more men,"
the report says, the response was so
thorough that in July, 1918, the mum.
ber sent across was three times that
contemplated In the original staff esti.
mates.
Attention was called to the fact that
while the army war college had on file
detailed plans for defending American
harbOrs, coasts and borders, there was
no plan for "the equally important and
equally necessary mobilization Of in
dustry." The years 1917 and 1913, the
volume says, will forever stand as the
monument to the American genius Of
workshop and factory. which In this
period insured the victory"
The munitions report was prepared
by more than a score Of officers and
civilian officials, each of whom super
vised the chapter dealing with his par.
ticular department. II was prepared
In compliance with a request from Sec
retary Baker. who declared that, "as
the whole people have been called
upon to make sacrifices for the war all
the people should be given an opportu-
nifty to know what has been done IN
their behalf.s
