cident was caused primarily b. the
negligence OF the West Jersey aEd
Seashore railroad in not providing
the proper equipment. The sworn
evidence of r. ]. Townsend, the en-
gineeT of the train which crashed
into the foregoing section, was that
the engine when delivered to him in
Philadelphia by the Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Western engineer
whom he relieved. was without the
metallic packing on the right hand
piston, causing an escape of steam,
which at times obscuTed his vision.
This evidence was not contradicted.
I'VE find, also. that the necessary
precaution was not taken by the pre-
ceding trainmen in placing torpedoes
and fuses at a sufficient distance to
insure the safety OF their train. We
also condemn the use of the old-style
wooden coaches for transportation
and the lack Of hrst-aid equipment
and other proper equipment, such as
lights, water, axes, ETC.
All Coaches Wooden.
Testimony was produced at the in
quest to show that all Of the coaches
on the train which was wrecked-were
OF the old wooden type, that two OF
the cars had been without lights all
the way from Washington. and that
there was lack OF drinking water.
Conductor Z. J. Price stated he had
called the attention Of the railroad
officials at Washington to these mat
ters.-
Engineer Ralph J. Townsend, Of
Camden, n. j., who has been in the
City Hospital since the wreck, hob
bled to the witness stand to give his
version of the accident. He was still
suffering from the injuries. Town
send testified there were clouds of
steam escaping from the piston, and
also on certain stretches his vision
was further clouded by a fog. which
made il difficult for him to see the
lights of the signals. He admitted he
must have passed a caution signal a
mile below the wreck. saying he had
not observed IL.

FISH PIRATES

From the publicity given the matter m the newspapers both in Alaska and i'm the States. onc would imagine that there was a regular civil war going on in Alaska be- tween the camcrymcn and the fish pirates. From the trend of the articles appearing in most of the papers, it would seem that the air of Southeastern Alaska was full of flying lcad-all the lead being used by the pirates. Cauucrymen claim that the pi- rates drive the camery tenders away from their own traps with streams of bullets. lt is even umorcd that one man was woUhded m the leg recently. For the number of rounds of ammunition fired it would seem Co us that the casualty lists are small.
 Now. just as the publicity bureau of thc Territory was getting things going nicely and advertising Alaska as the com- try or hopes. peaceful farms and uo crime, it seems a shame Co spoil it all by branding the country as the land of piracy and strife.
 To be sure. all the cannerymen have clear conscicnccs themselves OF they would mot set mp such a vail as they have been doing lately. They never break the laws we are Surc-or they would not be cry ing wolf SO vigorously, No one else has any trouble protecting their property. and although we do not condoue the action of fish pirates. if such there are in Alaska, we would think 1t more manly on the part of trap owners and cannerymen to spend little of their miSdreeted energy, which they are using in running to Juneau to get

THE RIGHT HAND OF VICTORY

"A brief for universal military train ing in the United States"
 Thus might be described the official re- port of America's activities during the world war recently issued by Col. Leonard P. Avrcs. chief of the statistical branch of the Army.
 This countrv's forces overseas partici- pated in lighting that lasted but 100 days. Their longest campaign, the Meuse-Ar- gonnc offensive, was of but forty-seven days duration.
 However. in that battle, temper cent of an the Yauks engaged were mcapacitated' Had their reserves been insufficient. the drive might have terminated less glonousIy OF it might never have been attempted.
 The reserves. however. were ample. While but 1.39OOOO men were in battle, 2,- OS6OOO went overseas. while behind and supporting them were other forces Co the total number of 100000
 There never was the slightest doubt. after thc Meusc-Argouc smash began. that Pcrshmg would have ample forces to con tuuc his operations. Every day the war lasted increased the strength of the army in France and also of the force in training at home.
 It was this circmStancc-thc practi- cauy mcxhaustibIc supply of firSt-class troops hacking the army on the fighting luc-which rendered certain the collapse of Ilundom as soon as America actively cn- tered the struggle.
 These troops were Furnished in the fol- lowing proportions by the agencies named: Regular Army thirteen per cent; National Guard, ten per cent; draft. seventy-scvcu per cent
 More than three quarters of the men called to thc colorS were furnished by the draft It built mp the armies that assured victory.
 What would have been the situation had America been in position to mobilize, by this means not mtaiued men, but men with more than a passing knowledge of arms,
 The war certainly would have been shortened ior experience proved that l needed but the added weight of Americas 's might to toppIc over German militarism.
 Possibly there might not have been any war at an. SD far as the United States is concerned; for. had the Jmkers known that this country was prepared to put 4,- O00O0O trained men in the field, not m eighteen months OF two years, but i'm eight ccu days, if necessary. they would have hesitatcd long time before affronting it..
