Eight per sons are known to have been killed and from 12 to 14 injured in a head on collision between the Blue Moun tain special arid a local train , on' the Western Maryland railroad near , the Mason and Dixon line tonight. .. The trains met at high speed on -"a bridge spanning a deep ravine be tween Highfleld and Thurmont, and it is feared some of the passengers were thrown from the bridge. The location of. the wreckis isolat ed and darkness prevented rapid search. Telegraph wires were carried down and it was difficult to obtain in formation. . The engines were telescoped, three members of- the engine crews and a baggage -master being killed:" Three and probably four; passengers .were killed..,,. v . . . The identified dead are Charles Cook, engineer on' the accommodation train; Charles R. Fritz, fireman; Luther Hull, baggageman; Mrs. Chipchase, of Balti more, and her son. A baggage car apparently was the only one that left the bridge, but a parlor car was suspended over the side. Ail the cars of the special train were of steel construction. The injured wer'e taken to Hagers town and Thurmont -but the relief work; was difficult.- The private car -of President Gray, containing a number of officials of the Western Maryland, was on the - train, but none of the officials was killeS. The bridge on which the accident occurred is 200 feet high and it 'was considered miraculous that both trains were not precipitated to the bottom of the raVine. v - ' ' '. : ' A mistake in orders is believed to have caused the wreck.

BIG PEACE MEETING Madison Square Garden the Scene o Great Meeting in Behalf ol Peace. Resolution Calls for Em bargo on Arms. New York, June 24. William J. Bry an, addressing a meeting in Madison Square Garden tonight under the aus pices of the "Friends of Peace," an or ganisation of various societies of American citizens, gave. his definition of national honor and called upon his hearers to "cast your inbuence, not in favor of either side, but in favor of peace for the United States and against war with any of the belliger ent nations." Mr.. Bryan reiterated his views re garding his proposal to submit all dis putes to an international commission. After Mr. Bryan spoke the meeting passed a resolution calling on the gov ernment to place an embargo on the exportation of arms and ammunition. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan arrived here from Washington late this afternoon. They were met at the station by a del egation of men and women who wore peace badges and who gave the for mer Secretary an enthusiastic recep tion. Mr. Bryan began his address tonight by declaring his conviction- that the people of - this country would stand' solidly behind the President in case of.war. - Butwhetherwe should en-, gage in war, he said, is a question" which still is open for 'discussion. Mr; Bryarr asserted that there, is no ques tion but" that the nation's honor shall be maintained, but only a question as to what is national honor and what is as a sentiment and sentiment as one of the greatest factors in human prog ress.

C, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 1915. TRAIW IW HIGH TRESTLE RUSSIANS RETREAT Austro-Germans Show No Signs of Ceasing Offensive. AGAINST MUSCOVITES Vienna Still Celebrating the Fall of Lemberg While Petrograd Says Capture of Little Military Importance Speculation. p London, June 24. The Russians still are retreating in the east; the French are slowly gaining at certain points in the West. With the fires set by the retreating Russians still burning, the Austro-Germans are now firmly es tablished at Lemberg and have shown no signs of ceasing their offensive. The battle of the Dneister, south of the city, is not over, but according to Berlin, General LinsingefV has been able to throw Iris forces across the river, a fact which is taken in some quarters to presage another Russian defeat. With Galicia all but cleared of Rus sians the weight ,of Austro-German forces, released in that theatre must soon be felt somewhere, but opinions are divided as to whether it will be on the western front or in Poland. One theory-is that the Germans will launch against Warsaw another terrific at tack. This coincides with the belief that it is the Austro-German plan to batter Russia more before turning west. What la Germany' Planf Opposed to this are reports that troops from Galicia already are jour neying west, and that Germany plans to start a fresh campaign " along the Belgian coast. Lemberg is celebrating the return of the Austrians and Vienna has not ceased her revelry at the re-capture of the city. Petrograd meanwhile con tinues to deprecate the military impor tance of the achievement, professing confidence that it will have no bearing on the ultimate outcome of the war. The first day of David Lloyd George'a appeal for munitions workers seems to indicate that an adequate number is being enrolled. The whole country is in the throes of a recruit ing campaign more intense than any previous appeal for fighters at the front. LEMBERG WELCOMES VICTORS. City Decorated for the Entrance of Austro-German Army Reception. Lemberg, via London, June 24. The entry of General Ton Boehm-Ermolli's army into Lemberg assumed the char- achter of a great patriotic demonstra tion. The. city was profusely decorat ed ajid thousands stood on balconies and in windows to await the columns of the victorious Austrian army. Flow ers were showered into the officers' au tomobiles and there was prolonged cheering for Emperor William, Em peror Francis Joseph and the victor ious army. Citizens of Lemberg gave a formal welcome at the state house to Gener al Von Boehm-Ermolli and his staff. The Jewish population joined in the welcome. . The interior of the city was little damaged by the Russians, although they burned the railway station and ad jacent factories and set fire to the pe troleum depots, 'causing an enormous conflagration. .

FRENCH ADVANCING x " WILSON THE MAN TD RESTORE PEACE Is the Opinion of Colonel E. M. House, President's Friend. IS ENJOYING VACATION Recently Returned From Extended Trip to Europe Colonel House Gives President Detailed Ac count of Conditions. New Tork, June 24. President Wil son does not see any. prospect for an early peace in Europe, Col. E. M. House, his unofficial envoy to Europe gave the President today the results of his sojourn Of several months in European capitals where he talked intimately with responsible officers of the German, J3ritish and French gov? ernments and the information he im parted in the long walks and talks which they enjoyed today reflected def initely the ideas held by' both diplomat ists and the military element in each of the countries at war. Colonel House also disclosed the currents of public opinion in each country as to peace terms. The President has been guided large ly by what Colonel House has reported to him by cable and letters in handling the delicate question of renewing the efforts of the United States to bring about a general acceptance of media tion. " Mr. Wilson himself said last Tuesday that no new tenders of good offices had been made to any of the warring powers, but that all foreign governments understood the willing ness of the United States to be of any service in any way possible to pave the way for an approach to peace. Public Opinion Not Ready. One fundamental thing the President has learned, which has affected the ef forts of the United States to make peace, is the unpreparedness of pub lic opinion in some of the belligerent countries as to terms which they fear their adversaries might advance or that ' already are discussed. Colonel House observed that public opinion in some countries insisted on terms which the governments of; those cbun tries al ready ha,d- learned In -vrfotts ways would not. be "acceptable to their op ponents. - In all countries Colonel House found there had developed among the masses a desire for a settlement that would be commensurate with sacrifices made by the people. If left to the diplo matists in Europe alone, a return to the territorial status quo perhaps would not be- difficult, some of the information indicated. in Germany it seemed, according to information given to the President that the object of a large and influential party was to prepare public opinion for a realization of the idea that Ger many's best interests lie in colonial expansion and the incidental devel opment of over-seas commerce, rather than in territorial extension in Europe proper. The question, however, which Colonel House thinks likely will play a most important part in any peace ne gotiations is "freedom of j the seas," the principal that the property of all private citizens except contraband shall be exempt from capture or seiz ure on the high seas in time of war. "Freedom of the Seas." This point was discussed at the first and second Hague conferences and at the London naval conference which brought forth, the socalled "Declara tion of London," but no general rati fication or agreement was obtained. The American delegations to the first and second Hague conferences were in structed to vote for the adoption of this principle. Colonel House is known to be a sup porter of the "Freedom of the Seas" principle and in his discussion of the subject, while abroad there Is some reason to believe that he had .the sanc tion of the President. Colonel House found among the Allies a widely vary ing opinion. 1 Neither the President no? Colonel House would make a formal statement tonight on ' their conference. President Wilson is considered- by Colonel House as the man most likely to restore peace to the worjd. As the President was playing golf at the Pip ping Rock Club on Long Island today Colonel House, who was sitting on the porch of the club house, turned to ja. friend and ' pointed to the President saying there was the man likely to bring about peace. Colonel House told friends that the President knew' far more about the Eu ropean situation than he did, and was handling the problems gorwing out of the war in a highly intelligent man ner and as well as any man could han dle them. He is understood to have said the President displayed remark able knowledge of ne European sit uation during their long talk. Colonel House informed the President that no peace moves were being, car ried on in Europe at present. He gained this information from officials of the countries at war. Visits Colonel House. The President, en route from Wash ington to his summer home at Cor nish, N. H., spent the day with Colonel "House at Rqslyn, L. I., receiving 'first hand Colonel House's impressions of. the war situation in Europe as it af fects the United States. Colonel House, ten days home from a four-months' trip that carried him to London, Paris, and Berlin, greeted the Preside'nt at the Roslyn station, and took him immediately to his coun try estate. What Colonel -House told the Presi dent was gained from a trip that start ed January 30 when he sailed- from New Tork and ended with his return here June 14. He visited ForeignMin ister Grey at London, and in Paris was reported to have delivered a letter-from President Wilson to President Poin care. ' At Berlin : he called on the Ger man imperial chancellor," Von Beth-mahn-Hollweg. During his trip abroad it jwas reported several times that he was acting as-President Wilson's per sonal emissary but that was denied both by the President and Colonel i House. Closest Friend of President After Peace Colonel E. M. House. President Wilson is considered by Colonel E. M. House as the man most likely, to restore peace to the world. He expressed thrs idea yesterday while awaiting President Wilson, who was playing golf at the Piping Rock Club, on Long Island. Colonel House has just returned from an extended trip to Europe, said to have been 4n the in terests Of peace. fc It is understood Colonel House told President Wilson yesterday that no peace moves were being carried on in Europe at present. The colonel is one of President Wilson's closest friends. Mr. House is one of the mysteries of the present administration. While he is very close to the President, little is known about him. He shuns notoriety. Many times the President has stopped at his home when in New Tork; and once within the portals nothing can disturb him. Effortsof politicians to use Mr. House in getting into the good graces of the President have failed, and now no one makes such effort. Tet it is apparent in Washington that he is thought so much of that a recommen dation from him would go. farther than that of any one else in the nation. DR. HULLEY PLEASES AT BAPTIST CHAUTAUQUA Large .Crowd Goes on Boat Excursion, t Great Lecturer tv be Heard Twlca To day Baptists Are" Well Pleased With Welcome They Receiv ed From Wiimington. The large audience that attended the lecture at the Oceanic Hotel at Wrightsville Beach last night were held so closely by the speaker, Dr. Lincoln Hulley, president of John B. Stetson University, of DeLand? Fla., tha' tears of sympathy almost followed the out bursts of laughter. Dr. Hulley's lecture was on the life of Eugene Field. He would (urn from the ser'ous side of the sympathy Field felt for the children to quoting a hu morous poem so quickly that the audi ence was all the. time kept waiting to see what was coming nert. He is de cidedly an elocutionist, despite the fact that he made a firm denial cf any such chaifre in the opening of his ad dress. The toat trip down the river yester day called out such a large crowd that seating room was at a premium, and Dr. McGlothlin's lecture on "The Ori gin of the Doctrines of the Calvanists" was. so interesting that he was pressed upon to repeat it in the auditorium at the hotel yesterday, waen the party returned. Dr. Hulley's lecture for today was to have been on the life of Longfellow, the poet, but last night he announced that he would give- a "Study in Char coal" instead. Hhose who heard him last night will not likely miss the op portunity of hearing him again today. N Dr. Hulley was introduced by Mr. H. B. Parker, of Goldsboro. The work of the Chautauqua is prov ing a success, even this the first year of its existence in North Carolina. Dr. Herbert McN.

Developments. DR. ELIOT TO BE HEARD Commission Will be Sent to Take Tes timony of Head of Harvard as to Why Thaw Expelled from That Institution. New York, June 24. Harry K. Thaw, sitting beside his lawyers at the trial to test his sanity, today heard 16 wit nesses nearly all of them' friends he had made during his sojourn in Cana da and New Hampshire testify that they- believed he was a rational man. One was a physician who had at tended to Thaw's sprained ankle, an other had sold him an automobile, an other had gone fishing with him, an other camping, one was the sheriff, his custodian in New Hampshire for 16 months; one, an alderman of Sher brooke, Quebec, whd said he thought so much of Thaw he had invited him to settle down there as one of the city's business men. All declared that Thaw conducted himself like " a gentleman, had no delusions and was rational both in speech and actions. Thaw showed his satisfaction at the mass of evidence in his' favor that his counsel was presenting to the jury. The attorneys for the state, however, never failed to , ask each witness whether Thaw at-any time had discuss ed women with them, or any of the circumstances that led to the murder of Stanford. White.. JNone. jwould-;.say that these topics were brought up, whereupon the state's examiners would make the point that a paranoiac such as Thaw is alleged to be might con verse rationally except when his one delusion was mentioned. In preparation for the state's side of the case, Deputy Attorney General Cook applied to Justice Hendrick for an order to have a commission take the testimony of Dr. -Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, as to why Thaw was expelled from that in stitution in 1892. He said the justice would grant the order tomorrow. Thaw, when he heard of the applica tion, immediately wrote out a state ment: "This," It read, "simply shows that Cook is waving the white flag prepar atory to surrender. He has not been able to get anything new that . dates within the past 20 years. It is abso lutely untrue that Dr. Eliot called me to his office at midday and asked me to leave the university at 3 P. M. What occurred I prefer not to say. I prefer to leave it, to Dr. Eliot. I am quite willing to accept his statement and content myself with pointing out that Mr. Cook shows in this course that he is not interested chiefly in the ques tion of my present sanity." FORTHCOMING NOTE WILL BEHUENDLY Germany Will Go Long Way Toward Meeting U. S. LIFE ON HIGH SEAS SAFE Berlin Reply to American Note Will Make Suggestion as to Conduct of Vessels Will Not Attack ' Passenger Ships. Berlin, June 24 (via London). There are good prospects that the forthcom ing German note to the United States will go a long way toward meeting the American government's wishes re garding Germany's conduct of subma rine warfare and making passenger traffic on the high seas safe. While it is stated that submarine action against hostile merchantmen will not and cannot be abandoned en tirely, it is increasingly probable that the German note will embody some proposals to exempt ships employed, wholly or principally in passenger traffic from submarine attack. Such ship, it is said, of course, would be subject to stoppage and examina tion by submarines in accordance with the practice in vogue prior to the pres ent war and to capture if carrying contraband, but the regular rules of the prize law, particularly regarding the safety of. passengers and crews, would be observed. It is hoped here that such a solution will satisfy the requirements of Pres ident Wilson's note. It Is hoped and expected here among those who are working for a friendly settlement of the situation between Germany 'and the United States that the United States would see that such passenger ships were not . used to transport am munition and guns nor lend themselves to attacks upon submarines. WHOLE NUMBER 39,241 Recites at Length Efforts to Minimize Inconveniences to N eutral Nations. FROM ORDER IN COUNCIL American Citizens Have No Just Ground for Com plaint is Assertion. Declares Delays Due to Amer ican Counsel. Washington, June 24. Great Britain, in a memorandum transmitted t6 the United States and made public here and' in London tonight, recites at length its efforts to minimize inconveniences to neutral commerce resulting from the order in council against trade with1 Germany, Austria and Turkey, and as serts that American citizens have no just grounds for complaint on account of the treatment accorded their car goes. ' No attempt' Is ' made to answer tne principals asserted in the American! note of March 1 protesting against the- ' order in council and insisting upon the right of neutrals to carry on legitimate commerce with others and to trade in. non-contraband with civilians in bellig erent countries. In transmitting the! memorandum Ambassador Page said: "It was merely an explanation of con crete cases and the regulations under which they are dealt with." Another Note Ready. Another note to Great Britain Is now x in course of preparation at the State Department and is expected to be dis patched as soon as the negotiations-" with Germany over submarine war- ; fare Jiave 'been, cleared up. While, this communication probably will make ref erence' to the latest memorandum, it is understood that the manner of enforc ing the order in council will not be treated as relevant to the question at issue whether-there is any warrant in international law for the powers that Great Britain and her Allies have assumed to exercise over the commerce of the world. In its memorandum the foreign office emphasizes the "various special con cessions made in favor of United States citizens" in setting forth that all Brit ish officials have acted in every case "with the utmost despatch consistent with the object in view and of show ing In every case such consideration for neutrals as might be compatible with the object, namely, to prevent vessels from carrying goodB to or com ing from the enemy's territory." Arrangements for buying American, cotton detained and for permitting the passage of goods bought in Germany by Americans before the date of order in council, are outlined, and the prom ise made that consideration will be given to special cases of this kind in the future. According to a summary of ships de tained there are 27 vessels which cleared from the United States now held in ports of the United Kingdom. Of these eight are said to be unload ing cotton which Great Britain has agreed to purchase, seven will be al lowed to- depart as soon as items of . their cargo placed in a prize court have been discharged, and the other twelve three of them American ships are the' subject of investigations not yet completed.. Text of Memorandum. Following is the text of the memo randum as transmitted by Ambassador Page: "1. His majesty's government have on various occasions, and notably in -the communication which was .ad dressed to the United States ambassa dor on the. 15th of March last, given assurance to the United States gov ernment that they would make it their first aim to minimize the inconvenience which must inevitably be caused to neutral commerce from the existence of a state of war at sea, and in particu lar from the measures taken by the Allied governments for the restriction of the enemies over-sea trade. His majesty's government desire to of-, fer the following observations respect ing the manner in which they have con sistently endeavored to give practical effect to these assurances. , "2. It will be recalled that at the moment when his majesty's govern ment announced their measures against -enemy commerce, they declared their Intention to refrain altogether from the exercise of the right to confiscate ships or cargoes, which belligerents had always previously claimed in re spect of breaches of blockade; that, un der article 5 of - the enactment of the 11th of March, it was expressly pro vided that aty person claiming to be interested in goods placed in the prize court In pursuance of the provision of that enactment, might forthwith issue a writ, against the proper officer of the crown. . And thus to remove all possible cause of legitimate griev ance on account tf delay; and that, finally, a pacific assurance was given to the United States government, that the ' instructions to be. issued by his majesty's government to the fleet, and to the customs officials and executive officials concerned, would impress upon . them, the duty , of acting with the ut most dispatch consistent with the ob ject in vie.w Reasons for Measures.
