The camp presents a pretty pic

This holds good among the officers
as every one of them was in the
service overseas during the late
war. In the machine gun company
serving as privates are men who
held high commissions dur1n--

man who served as a major in

MISSOURI WRECK
GETS UNDER WAY
.Thirty-Seven Known to Have
Been Killed in Coils
ion Saturday.

Eye witnesses were sum moneu
today before a coroner's jury at
De Soto, Mo-. to recount details of
the rear-end collision of two Mis-
sourl Pacific trains here Saturday
when thirty-seven are known to
have been killed and 13S injured
Just south of the scene Of the dis
aster there is a curve in the road,
and this cut off the view of the 10
cal train standing at water tank
from the engineer of the limited
MtssourtPacific officials, howev-
er, em phasized that the block sig
mails were operating in perfect or
der and Engineer Glenn of the fast
train should have slowed his train
down TO such a speed that he could
have come to a halt almost instant
~.
Vivid Picture
Survivors drew a vivid picture of
ii the accident. A blast from the
whistle from the limited told OF it's
approach from around the curve
and this caused a few who had
aliehted from the local to look back
nervotsSly.
Rushing around the curve came
the fast train. There Were shouts.
then the roar of the crash, cries of
women and means of men,
The rear coach was hurled down
the embankment. The next two
cars, standing on the trestle across
Glaize Creek and on the embank-
ment were crushed and splintered.
The fourth tum bled down the In
cline north of the creek.
The roof of one of the demoIish-
ed cars fell. spanning the creek,
and afforded bridge for the res
cuers.
Where the daN coaches of the To-
cal had stood, across the trestle,
now stood the steel cars of the fly
er. The locomotive had plowed its
way through more than half the
length of the halted train and come
to rest across the trestle, steel CIR
ders bent around its forward end
and sp1inters of what had once
been a. car compressed into space
about ten feet before it against a
coach which seemingly was unn-
jured.
Coroner Elders promised a
thorough Investigation of the dis
aster the worst train wreck in
the history of this part of the
country.
While Matt Glenn, dead en-
gineer of the fast train which
plowed through four coaches of
the local train near the station,
was blamed for the accident, ac-
cording to John Cannon, assistant
general manager of the road. re-
latives OF injured all Joined In
asking for, an investigation of the
wreck
Officials of the road declared
the block signals were found to
be in order after the crash occur
red, and all asserted that En-
gineer Glenn did not heed the
warning signal.
All day yesterday rescuers re-
moved bits of wreckage in their
search. A ghostly silence hung
over the scene and was broken
only by the muffled grind of the
wreclting crews cranes.
Tales of many miraculous es-
capes were repeated, mingled with
stories of pathos and horror.
Stories of young girls offering
thei assistance in caring for the
injured and dead were numerous.
Some were seen hurrying from
one victim to another. bandagins
their injuries, washing their
wounds and giving what assist
ance they could.
