Niagara Falls, N.Y., July 2.--A belt line car oa the Great Gorge route left the rails, Plutged fara yy twenty-foot embankment - ed over in ten feet of wgter on the | ease of the Whirlpool rapids at 3.30 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Ten persons met death, four are missing {and twenty are injured.

There were more than fifty passen- gers on board, according to general estimates. The car was one of the open type, the seats extending from side to side, with steps on both sides the full length of the car. As it slipped down the twenty-foot incline from the tracks to-the edge of the river, screaming men and wo- men fought to escape. Some of them were able to get free, but were unable to get a footing on the steep bank There was a mad scramble in the shallow water hetween the wrecked car and the river bank. From the riverside, the bodies of at least two of the passengers were seen to be caught in the swifter . waters and were carried down to the whirlpool. Members of a National Guard regi- ment, who were on guard at the can- tilever bridge, saw the accident and were the first to the rescue. The soldiers slipped down the bank into the river and worked into water up to their waists, getting injured passen- gers from the wreckage and passing them up the nk," where an emer- gency car had been placed to carry them to the Niagara Falls hospital. The supports of the roof on the forward part of the car had been crushed by the impact on the rocks in the river, bottom, throwing the seats togethgf. They pinioned many of the passemngers below the surface of the water and it was in this part of the car that most of the fatalities pr new offer was contemplated. ritish SHOT DOWN FOUR HUN MACHINES Likely Got Two More, Says Grand Nephew of Sir. M. Bowell. Belleville, July 3.--C. M. Reid gives an interesting extract from 'a letter written in France by his nep- hew, Lieut. Ellis Reid of the Royal Air Service. Lieut. Reid is a son of A. N. Reid formerly of Belleville, and a) grand nephew of Sir Mackenzie Bowell, C. M. Reid's son Harold is in tais branch of the service. Lieut. Reid writes as follows: "We have had a busy time lately I did twenty-eight hours over the lines the first seven days of this month. It was successful though and I managed to get four Hun ma- chines, two two-seaters and two of their latest scouts, these were all confirmed by other pilots who saw them go down; I am certain I got two more but as I didn't have time to watch them actually crash I only put them down as out of control. I got into a scrap with four scouts the other day and got one of them, (confirmed) and saw my bullets (tracers) go into another, but was too busy to watch him down. We certainly have wonderful machines and my experience helps a lot in a scrap. We have ine Huns ~buila- loed' now and they won't attack our formations which makes things easy for, us and reasonably safe as we never attack until we have the ad- vantage." SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN FAILS IN ITS OBJECT Cannot Bring England To Her Knees--What T. P. O'Connor Says. Washington, July 3.-- The trans- portation of thousands of American troops to France without a mishap through Germany's submarine zones is the handwriting on the wall." This statement was made yester- day by T. P. O'Connor, Irish mem- ber of the British parliament, who is 'here to lay the facts of the Irish home rule situation before President Wilson. "The submarine campaign," he de- clared, "is a serious matter, but in- sofar as its ability to bring England to her knees or block the mobiliza- tion of American forces is concerned, it has proved a dismal failure. So far it has not prevented the trans- portation of a single British or Am- erican soldier to the fighting front." CONFESSES A CRIME. Committed in London, Ont., Seven- imine AEN. X0rs, ABO: London, Ont., July 3.--Oonfes- sion of a crime committed 17 years ago in this c¢'ty and made before the late Police Magistrate Love in 1907 with the understanding that it was not to be made public until after A. L. Barfitt, the signee, had died, came to light here yesterday, three days after Barfitt's funeral. The confession .exonerates in full M. J. Kent, manager of the London Loan Company, of this city, of guilt in case of misconduct with Barfitt's } wife, of which he was conyioted 17 years ago, The signature of Bar- fitt's widow is also attached to the confession, which admits the case against Kent to have been a frame- up, in which he was mulcted ont of $1,100 by blackmall. = War Tidings.

SUCCESSES IN CAUCASS WHERE TWO STRONGHOLDS HAVE BEEN CAPTURED Berlin Says the Russian Attacks Are Powerful and Were Made Through Pressure off 'Leading Entente Powers. ! London, July 3.--The soldiers of new Russia have assumed the aggres- sive. For the first time since the revolution last March Russian troops have begun an attack on an extensive scale. Along a front of eighteen and one- aail miies in the region of Brezzany, Galicia, Russian troops have storm- ed the 'German positions. Berlin says the Russians suffered heavy losses and were compelled to retire before the German fire. The attack was made between the Upper Stripa and the Narayuvka River, a tributary of the Gnila Lipa, in the section south- east of Lemberg, the Galician ecapl- tal, where the artillery firing has been heavy recently. The Russians also made might attacks on both sides of Brezzany and near Zwyzyn, and Berlin reports that assaults be- tween Zlota Lipa and the Narayuvka have brought on new battles between" the opposing forces. The artillery arm of the Russian forces has been active, and from the. Berlin report it is learned that an intense duel has been in progress from the region of Brezzany to as far northward as the middle Stokhod, in Volhynia; a dis- tance of about 175 miles. Berlin declares that the Russian attacks, which it says were powerful, were brought about through the pressure of the leaftfhg Entente powers. Russians Capture Konichuy.
