The accommodation train had just left the station after making a stop, Avhrn the faster train, which makes jio i.op here, came in sight, moving p.t a high rate of speed. Efforts to bring it to a halt were futile, and the heavy locomotive, with the weight of a heavy steel train hehind it. crashed into the rear of the accommodation with a terrific com pact. The two wooden passenger coaches and baggage car making up the smaller train were splintered. Virtually every person aboard the accommodation train, both crew and T,a':sengers, was either killed or badly injured. None of the passeng ers aboard the fast train was killed, though a number were injured. The locomotive was demolished and the heavy steel coaches making up the train were tTrrcwn from the tarck.

ARMY With Trance, the American Army in Dec. 20. The officers of the Russian army in France have volun teered as a body to give their ser vices to the United States. The ofTicers are desirous of con tinuing the battle agaim;t the Ger mans, notwithstanding the Russo German peace negotiations, and de clare they will welcome an oppor tunity to fight to the finish for Rus sia, under the Stars and Stripes. There also have been suggestions that it might he possible to form for the Russians an organization similar to the French foreign legion or the La Fayette flying squadron. There is a general feeling that the action of the Russian officers will have a moral eft'ect in their country. The correspondent, who was auth orized to make the announcement, understands that the matter is un der consideration and that the offer undoubtedly will be referred to Washington. It is considered not unlikely that many of the Russian soldiers now in France and virtually without a country may follow the lead of their officers. The laws of the United States prohibit the in corporation into the army any but American citizens, but it fs hoped a way may be found by which these men can be of service to the United States and the allies in general. The officers are some of the best men in the Russian army. There are aviators among them, and many of them, who possess excellent military knowledge and speak French and English, which 'might be of assis tance in various avavs. staple land in South- - Sterling, Nebraska ears WITNESSES TELL OF DELAY DUE TO RED TAPE POLICY GUNS AND AMMUNITION HELD UP YHILE OFFICIALS SCRAP OVER MINOR DETAILS. Changes In Specifications and Tardy Orders Caused Delayed Output. Washington, Dec. 20. With its inquiry into alleged delays in sup plying the war army with guns and ammunition virtually concluded, the senate military committee today pre pared to investigate the shortage and production delays in clothing and food for soldiers. Chairman Cham berlain promised a thorough investi gation of the work of the quarter master's department of which Major General -Goethals, recalled'to active service, soon will take charge. The relation of the clothing shortage to prevalence of disease in various cantonments also will be developed. Ordnance officers were criticised by Fred II. Colvin, editor of the American machinist, for imposing too rigid rifle specifications. Re quirements for interchangeability of parts, he said, delayed production three months last summer and he cit ed one private factory where last August workmen on a "cost plus" contract played checkers wliile waiting for work held up. Govern ment arsenal methods he also crit cised, saying the Springfield arsenal has seme machinery fifty years old while many army ordnance officers, he asserted, have no special training to qualify them. Officials In Controversy. Correspondence with Secretary Raker which he produced dirclosed a controversy between Mr. Colvin and General Cronier. chief of ord nance bureau?, the former told Sec retary Raker that the arsenal ot'Icers were not qualified production engi neers. General Crosier said Mr. Col vin, should be barred from inspect ing arsenals because lie insisted ex pert machinists and not army officers should be in charge. Additional testimony regarding delay in machine f;un production was given by vice-Pres:de:it B. 31. "W. Hanson of the Colt Arms company, at Hartford. Conn. Although the new P.rownhig type was adopted last May, he said, r.o contract v.-as made until July. al orders were anticipated a:u! pre liminary work begun. The delay was explained by Mr. Hanson as due in' part to deliberations of the joint civilian army board appointed hy Secretary Raker to test and adopt the new weapon. Hanson was ? member of the board. Although given the Rrowning gun contract in July Mr. Hanson said that because of time needed to pre pare new machinery his deliveries would not begin until next April Mis hrm, however, is making deliv eries on previous orders of Vickers machine guns, some contracted for a year ago. Regarding government arsena production Mr. Hanson said the im pression that they are "away behind the times was wrong. The arsenals compare very favorably, he said with foreign governments and Amer ican private factories. The princi pal difficulty of American arsenals, ne explained is in retining skilled workmen. Rifle production has been greatly increased, he said, by adop tion of the modified Enfield. The American rifle and ammunition, he saia, are much superior to those of any of the allies and at least eoual to German j-Js. American machine gun manufac turers, Hanson declared, have had ji practically no encouragement from this government, most of their ord ers coming from abroad. In reply to questions by Senator Wadsworth, the witness admitted that if machine guns had been promptly ordered when the govern ment went into the war, General Pershing's machine gun units now would not be required to use French arms and ammunition. Upon conclusion of Hanson's testi mony the hearing was adjourned un til tomorrow when Quartermaster Sharpe is to be examined.

WILE TELLS HOW -KAISER TGLD OF HATE FOR BRITONS GERMAN RULER STORMED UP AND DOWN DECK OF YACHT UTTERING FEROCIOUS W0RES ABOUT "C0U5- INS" IN ENGLAND. New York, Dec. 20. (Special Telegram.) -The first person to whom Dr. William Bayard Hale, American journalist, gave an ink ling of the sensational interview he obtained from the German emperor in the sumr.ier of 1S0S, was Freder ick W. Wile, then Berlin correspond ent of the London "Daily Mail," and for many years representative of American newspapers abroad. Ir. the statement below Mr. Wile confirms the extraordinary story told cf the. kr.iscr's suppressed in terview, in which he predicted the world war, and supplies additional details. Ey Frederick 77. Wib. London, Dec. 20. (Special Cable to The Bee.) Larly in June. 100S, I received a call in the Berlin office of the "Daily Mail" from Dr. Wil liam Bav.'.rd Hale, who at the time was literary editor of "The New York Times." He bad come to Germany i-.'? rx FiM'Cial cc .respondent. I had rep resented the "D:.ily .Mail" in Ber lin 40 years and had been corre spondent t;f several American news papers four or five years before. Enpcrcr or. Trip. Mr. Hale, on j:rr: s in?.; in Berlin, found that the emperor had just left in the llohenzollern on bio annual yachting cruise" to th Norwegian fiord?. lie found, however, that he could profitably employ his time in Berlin by invoking the good offices of two Prussian dignitaries, whom he had met at the dedication of the Carnegie Instil ute in Pittsburgh. General von Lowenfeld. commander of a Prussian guard corps, and Privy Counsellor Count lime, court archi tect. After a few days delay, it was ar range! "through Lowenfeld and I line that Hale should proceed to Norway for an interview with the emperor. The interview was granted on the evening of July If). Chat on Deck cf Yacht. Six days later Hale returned from Norway and gave me the first ink ling of the sensational utterances of the war lord. To the ber-t of my recollection, he summarized his story thus: "The talk at dinner in the imper ial yacht was more or less perfunc tory. The' kaiser explained to me tliat we should 'have a real chat on deck after dinner. So it was. I walkrtl up and down with him for the better part of two hours. That is, we were walking all the time except in those moments when the emperor would stop all of a sudden to hammer in some point by stand ing at the rail and pounding it with his fist. . Scores ''Perfidious Cousins." "At times I conld hardly believe my own ears. The man now and then would rave. When he talked about England, he was simply fero cious. He snapped, out castigation on his perfidious 'cousins,' gesticu lating wildy and deriving fresh ener gy from his incessant outbursts and irom the cigarettes he smoked con tinuously, lighting one from an other. "I haven't the slightest doubt that, if I dared publish what the kaiser told me, there would be war between Germany and England to morrow morning.. "The newly formed Anglo-Japan ese alliance seemed to be particular ly on the kaiser's nerves. lie said England had sold the white race by joining hands politically with the yellow masters of the east. To Save White Race. "He harped fiercely on' the yellow peril and assured me that it was up to America and Germany , between them to shield the white civiliztftion. "The kaiser declared that Germany would not be found unready for a clash with Britain and that the 'latter would get many surprises.

Petrograd, Wednesday, Dec. 19. The Evening Post says the Germans have officially informed the Bolshe viki haadquarters that the central powers are ready to consider the ar rangement of peace on the basis of no annexations and no indemnities, but pointed out that self-definition of nations was impracticable. The Post says the representatives of the Central powers at the first preliminary peace conference with the Russians, held yesterday, an nounced that their governments in tended on principle to put the ques tions of peace before all the powers and that they asked their allies to do likewise. Russia was requested to take similar steps. It is stated the Russians are endeavoring by ali means to sound the allies. The representatives of the centra! powers informed the Russians they were ready to discuss peace prelimi naries but desired to know the re sult of Russia's elVorts to induce the allies to join in the negotiations be fore proceeding with them. They raid this poinC cf view might be changed., however, and that they might be willing to d:;cucs peace with Russia, ulone. The German wore of the opinion that the Riu: siiu armistice might inflinnce the ether fronts. The first conference was devoted merely to a discussion of who won!: participate in the negotiations. me L.04S;ieviKi newspapers are complaining that the presence cf the allied military missions in the Ukra ine is encouraging General Kale dines, leader of the counter revolu tion against the Maximalist govern iiirnt.
