Since War Reaches us.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, Nov. l9.-Germany's 5
first envoy to the United States since
the war, Baron Edumond Won Their
mann, who is to be counsellor to the
ambassador, arrived today on the
liner Helligolav.
He wore clothes that appeared
worn and almost shabby. He said
it will be a great hardship for the
German government to run an en1-
bassy here, because of the low rate
of the mark and high cost of the
American dollar.
One of the first statements from
Baron Won Thermann was that he
had no concern with the Washington
conference on arms limitation.
France has nothing to fear of
Germany" the baron continued.
Germany is absolutely disarmed."

Eleven Mourners .
On Way Back From
Funeral Killed
Train Running 80 Miles an
Hour Strikes Automobile
At Grade Crossing
Bodies Strewn for Mile.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. -19-Creeping
through a binding snowstorm, re-
turning from funeral, touring car
carrying IS relatives Of Myrtle Zim-
inzian, who had just been buried,
was struck by the Santa Fe-Califor-
MIA Limited train, running 90 miles
an hour, and II of the occupants OF
the funeral car were killed. The car
was smashed to splinters and por-
tions of the bodies strewn for near
ly mile.
Ten of the victims were instantly
killed. Another died soon after being
taken to a hospital and one other
victim will not survive. The i'm
pact from the two heavy locomotives
was so violent that the largest part
of the wrecked automobile that could
be found, was rear tire.
The hearse had crossed the track
and was closely followed by the fu-
neral car. 1t was squarely across
the tracks when long train, pulled
by two locomotives, roared around
a sharp curve. A third funeral car
was 100 feet in the rear of the one
demolished. but the driver could not
see it. He heard crash, but could
see nothing because OF the storm.
He drove across the tracks, but
there was no sign of the grim trage-
dy that had just been enacted, and
the occupants of his car continued
to their homes, ignorant of what
had happened.
One of the marvellous incidents of
the affair is the escape of Mrs. John
Chrusek, whose husband and son
were killed. She was carried many
yards and hurled into snow-filled
ravine and escaped without scratch.
Badly dazed, she was helped to her
home, but soon regained her senses
and returned to claim the bodies of
her husband and son. Her second
son was SO badly injured that he will
die.
The crossing is on a lonely road
near Summit, ILL.,, and number of
abandoned stone quarries and huge
piles of rock obscure the view Of
the railroad tracks in either direction.
