Ihe Missouri Wreck

Saturday nights terrible wreck on
the Missouri Pacific railroad at Sui
phur Springs, Mo, which cost the
lives of Ss persons and injured more
than a hundred, is tragic reminder
that so frightiul a thing can happen
in spite of the high development
that American railroads have reach
ed and IN spite OF the progress made
IN safety measures and devices.
A fast through tram, made mp of
II steel ears, plowed into the rear
of local train of seven wooden
coaches. The horrible results are
told IN the news columns.
So far as is known TO Arkansas
people we're killed or seriously in
jured in this awful wreck. But 1t
comes home to Arkansas IN peculiar
way. 1t happened on the former
Iron Mountain railroad, which forms
a great highway of steel through
Arkansas aud is c'o-elY bound up
with the business and social lite of
this state. The I'll fated local train
had started from Hoxie and the
through tram had pas,el through
Little Rock on it's way to ST. Louis
from Texas The Arkansas public
could hardly have shown deeper
concern over this sorrowful catas-
trophe if it had occurred on the soil
of this state instead Of Missouri.
II ever there was a wreck that
showed the incidentally valuable
service that might be performed by
sutom TIC train stop eqlipm mt II Is
this Missouri wreck. With such
equipment in use the heavy through
train, speeding toward the tram OF
wooden coaches standing at the
sulphur Springs station, would have
been stopped by mechanical hands
and Death would have been robbed
of his terrible harvest. The Inter.
state Commerce Commission has or
dered certain railroads TO equip some
parts of their lines with automatic
stop systems, or rather to show
cause why they should not install
such systems. But 1t will be many
a year before all the railroad lines
of Amencs, or even all the much
travelled lines, are thus EQUIPPED.
The years that shall intervene hold
terrible possibilities of loss of
human life. Gazette.

WORKS TO SAVE EUROPE

CANNES, Jan. (Associated Press)
With the air full of talk of an al
lance between France and Great
Britain as the only means Of keeping
the Entente intact. Premier BRAND
and Prime Minister Lloyd George
to-day resumed their conversations.
which were begun some days ago in
London.
Premier BRAND said before going
to the British Prime Minister'S villa
this afternoon that it might be putting
1t rather strongly to talk of formal
alliance. Yet, he said. the policy OF
France all along had been to
strengthen her ties with her war
allies, since this seemed essential TO a
sediment OF European problems.
"The conversations are continuing"
was the only comment the French
Premier would make after a two
hours talk with Mr.. Lloyd George this
afternoon.
General reticence is being observed
by the principals OF the British dele
CATION on the eve of the opening of the
Allied Supreme Council meeting re-
garding such an alliance.
Members of both the French and
British delegations are agreed that the
situation is grave and that the Entente
Powers must come closer together or
they will drift more widely apart. The
difference OF opinion appears 10. center
around the question OF who ought to
make the concessions necessary to bring
about closer accord. The atmosphere
throughout the day was generally pessi-
mistic.
To save Europe from complete eco
nou,ic distintegration also is to be under
taken here by the Prime Ministers. Mr..
Lloyd George. 1t is understood. intends
that this shall be the last meeting OF
the Supreme Council II there Is any way
Of bringing pending questions to point
where they can thereafter be dealt with
by the Ambassadors OF the allied Pow
ers. Mr.. BRAND Is understood also to
favor adoption of broad understand
ing as to what is needed to save the
situation and then TO let the work pro-
ceed through regular diplomatic chan
nels, details as to the application OF the
vsrrns being left to the Council OF AM
bassadors.
Experts regard as an encouraging sign
the progress made by the British project
for organization Of an international
financial corporation to deal with credits
and exchange and possibly currency.

The final dash down the home
stretch by the Conference for the
Limitation of Armament began to-
day with a sudden reopening of the
conversations between tie Japanese
and Chinese over the Shantung ques-
ton.
Informal conversations at Pekin
held by Mr.. Obata, the Japanese Min
lister. with the new Chinese Cabinet,
are believed to have been responsible
for the sudden renewal OF the conver-
sations here. indicating that the power
OF Chang Tso-Lin. the super tuchun
of Manchuria, is beginning to mani
fest itself.
Secretary Hughes and Arthur j.
Balfour, who used their good offices TO
initiate the conferences. were In
formed at $3.50 o'clock to-day that the
conversations would be renewed on
the initiative of the japanese. The
conferees went into session at
o'clock, continuing until 7 o'clock but
failing TO reach a final agreement.
They will resume the conversations in
the morning.
An agreement is expected to-mor-
row. which will be in the nature Of a
compromise between the outside de-
mands OF botl, Chinese and Japanese.
but with marked yielding by the
Chinese.
This was but one development in the
situation which shows the conference Is
nearing its cloging moments, with n
plenary session in sight probably not
later than Saturday 20 adopt the for
NAL agreements made both on naval
questions and the Far East. The other
developments to-day may be summarized
as follows:
