>. a.. aUwNSENUS CAR
WRECKED AT SALISBURY

Miss Laura Brasure, 90 years old,
and Alton Purnell, about the same
age, are in the Peninsula General
Hospital, Salisbury, the former in
critical condition as result of injuries
sustained when the automobile in
which they were riding was struck
by a northbound freight extra at the
Church street crossing in that city
about midnight Wednesday night of
last week.
The driver of the car, James b.
Townsend, about so years old, of Po-
comoke City, who runs a taxi, and
Miss Agnes Tyndall, of Mears. Va,
who was riding with him on the front
seat, both escaped injury by jumping
from the car when ID was seen that a
collision was inevitable. The two
passengers on the rear seat were
thrown from the touring car and were
dragged down the track distance of
approximately 100 yards, together
with the auto, which was said to have
stalled on the track. At Union
Station they were picked out of the
debris of the car, which was COM
pletely demolished. So loud was the
sound of the impact that the crack
was heard nearly a mile away. II
is said that the driver had taken some
passengers from Pocomoke City to a
dance in Salisbury and while waiting
for their return trip was carrying
another party to their homes when
the accident occurred.
At the hospital it was found neces-
sary to amputate one of Miss Bras
ure's arms.

GENOA MEETING
IS IMPORTANT
UNITED STATES CANNOT REMAIN
ALooF IN EUROPEAN AZ
FAIRS. MINISTER THINKS
Proposed Conferences Believed To Be
Big Step Toward Healing Wounds
of War; America viii Not Be
Represented at Conferences

Rome.-The absence of American
representation at the forthcoming econ
omic conference to be held at Genoa
was referred to with regret BY Foreign
Minister SlIanzer in the course Of an
address In the chamber OF deputies
recently.
"There is nothing in the reply to our
invitation, lie said, that particularly
concerns Italy; in fact, the reasons for
the refusal OF the United States to par
ticIpate in the conference as set f1rth
by Secretary Hughes, are essentially
American political reasons. However
/ think the United States cannot long
remain aloof In European discussions
italy, Signor Schanzer declared, has
the greatest interest In the success q
the conference.
"There is at present" he said, "a
tendency to minimize the Importance
of the meeting and represent II as
futile. | think this attitude is unjus.
titled. The Genoa conference should
he looked upon as an event OF extra
ordinary international Importance,
perhaps the most important historic
event since the war, in view OF the Iact
that it is the first time yictors ana
vanquished will discuss together thear
common interests
The foreign minister pointed out that
the conference could not be exposed
to accomplish the Utopian task OF I'M
mediately adjusting the European and
world situation. Genoa, he said, was
not the last stage of the journey to-
ward discovery of method Of healing
the wounds made by the war.
There can be no idea of revising OF
treaties at Genoa. Slgnor Schanzer
continued. He emphasized the inn
portance of the economic questions on
the agenda of the economic conference
such as the removal of barriers OF
trade, collaboratiGns of trade, stronger
and weaker states, with view to the
complete reconstruction of European
questions of currency and exchange.
Italy's own program, he said, would be
in support of peaceful solution of con-
efcts, reduction of ornaments and the
resumption of regular relations of the
states of central and eastern Europe.
"The Russian delegates" he declar-
ed, may rely ON a respectful welcome.
We trust they will not indulge in pro,
paganda, but will collaborate sincerely
with the other delegates"
