THRILLING STORY OF WASHOUT
A thrilling story of the washing out
of the Rock Island trestle bridge over
the Cimarron river at Isabella last
Friday is brought by traveling men
who were on the train tha. pulled up
in front of the structure just a few
minutes before it went down the
i swirling, muddy stream.
According to their accounts, the
train drew to a stop at the edge of the
trestle about 8:30 in the morning The
muddy river, fed by the fearful rains,
was on a rampage, all trestle bridges
were threatened and the train crew
desired to inspect the bridge before
crossing. Looking across the struc-
ture that spanned the roaring torrent
of mud. sand and water, the engineer
and fireman discovered it was several
inches out of line, and trembling. As
they watched, the '. ridge hecame more
unsteady, and, in a few moments, af-
ter terrific creaking and scraping of
timbers, it gave way in front of their
eyes. Trainmen and passengers alike
looked on with wonder as the bridge
v., twi-'ed ill the grasp of the cur-
rent and hurled down the river.
Had it been nightime the disaster
that befel a Rock Island train at Do-
ver, on the main line, seven yerrs ago,
might have been repeated. In the
darkness the shaky condition of the
| bridge possibly would not have been
I noticed, and the weight of the train
would have brought it down immedi-
ately. „ . ,
Travelers on that tram Friday con-
gratulated themselves and thanked a
kind Providence as they were backed
into Enid several hours later.

ABUSING PRESIDENT WILSON
Berlin, June 7.—Ambassador Get-;
. ard today directed a formal letter to
all American consuls in Germany ask-1
| ing them to report if any Americans
within their jurisdiction have publicly
I abused President Wilson or Secretary
Bryan.
; The ambassador also sent a note to
i the German foreign office asking that
the police be instructed to confiscate
the passport of Maurice Semborn, the
| naturalized American who was eject-1
i-d from the embassy and who after-
I ward made speeches in Berlin cafes
i abusing Wilson and Bryan. !
Gerard's action today followed the
| revocation of American passports held j
by Leon Raines and Karl I. Recknagel |
l of Dresden, for writing jointly an
open letter to President Wilson criti-;
eizing his policies. Raines has writ- j
ten the ambassador, asking an oppor-
tunity to explain. The ambassador ^
has granted him this.
The Raines-Recknagel letter, print- j
ed in German newspapers contained
the following statement, addressed to1
President Wilson.
"You are reported to have stated to
a delegation of women who appealed
to you to stop the delivery of war ma-
terials to any beligerents, that if
congress would pass such a bill, you
would veto it. Could you face your
maker with such a crime on your con-
science? In thus furthuring murder
you are breaking one of the ten com-
mandments."
Ambassador Gerard for some time
has been waging a campaign against
Americans who attack their own gov-
ernment. He has reported fully to his
State Department at Washington,!
which is reported to have approved
his course.

Wa-h'ington, June 7.—"Despite the
! so-called var orders," says an official
analys:- oi foreign trade, issued today
by the Department of Commerce, "the
exports of manufactures of kinds oth-

in the similar period before the war.
The statement refers to the foreign
trade for the ten months endeii in
April, which shows a trade balance of
almost a billion dollars.
••The normal sales of manufactures
in peace." says the statement, "were
greater than those under existing war
conditions. Because of this fact and
