Austria has refused to accept a German generalissimo to direct oper ations on the Italian front, ac cording to advices received here today.

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL PHONE 81 TWENTY-FIVE KILLED SEVENTY-FIVEIMJURED INTRAINWRECKTODAY Two Passenger Trains Crash Together Near Bosley Springs, Tennessee Nashville, Tena July 9. About twenty-five persons were killed and 75 injured when two Nashville, Chattan ooga and St. Leuis passenger trains crashed together near Bosley Springs, at 7 a. m, today. Fire immediately broke out and many of the passengers who were not killed outright in the collision were burned to death or .suffered injury from the flames. A relief train was immediately rush ed to the scene from Nashville manned with doctors, nurses, firemen and first aid equipment. The mangled and charred bodies brought here were distributed among local morgues. No effort has been made to estimate the dead as it has been impossible to e-utir some of the splintered and burn- fcg cars. i'o.h trains were running at a high speed when the crash occurred, the .en gines being telescoped and the coaches reduced to kindliug wood. The greatest loss of life occurred in the coaches-occupied by negroes which were crowded. Every ambulance in tho city was pressed into service. Later, as the res cue work progressed, St. Thomas infirm ary became overtaxed and a great num ber was removed to the city hospital. Attendants at the hospitals were so overburdened with operations that they wem unable to supply an accurate list cf the injured.
