Passengers in German Coaches Men on Underground Ry. Are to Handed Over to France Suffer Work 3 Hours Per Day. From Fumes. A despetdt from London says: -It A despatch from Paris says:-T:vo. railway coaches, recently handed over to France by Germany, played a most important part in a puzzling accident on the Paris -Metz railway line on Wednesday night in which five per- sons lost their lives. Sixteen persons were injured, Train No. 47, bound for Metz, had just entered the tunnel at Nanteuil when the passengers occupying the two coadies handed over by Germany began to experience trouble in breathing and strong obnoxious gases began to fill up the coaches. The passengers smashed the win- dows, but as soon as fresh air came in contact with the gases' the coaches became a mass of fire. The passen- gers, in terror, fled to the tracks .in the dark tunnel. A train going in the opposite direction crashed into them and five were killed. Of the 16 injured, all of whom were treated at the hospital at Chateau Thierry, eight suffered only from the effects of asphyxiating gas. An official' statement given out by the railroad company says: "The fire in the coaches was not due to any defeat in the lighting or heating ap- peratue. nor to a hot -box. The pres- ence of the obnoxious gases is still unexplained. Both coaches were eon - ensued by the flames."

A MAN OF PRAYER General Foch Fiats Time for Devo- tion Amid 'Stress of War. A California boy -Evans by name -with the American Expeditionary Forces in France, has reeently written a letter to his parents an San Been - arcane, in which he tells of meeting General Foch at close range in France. Evans had gone into an old 'church to have a look at it, and as he stood there with bared head satisfying his respectful curiosity, a grey men, with the a ales of a general on the collar of his-: shabby unifrom, also entered the church, Only one orderly accompanied the quiet, grey man No glittering staff of officers, no entourage of gold -laced aides were with him; nobody but just the orderly. Evans' paid small attention at first to the grey man, but was curious to see him kneel an the church, praying. The minutes passed until full three- quarters of an hour had gone by be- fore the grey man arose from his lnnees. Then Evans followed him down the street, and was surprised to see sol- diers salute this man in great excite- ment, and women and children stop- ping in their treolcs with awestruck faces as he passed. It was Foch. Anci now Evans, of San Bernardino, counts the experience j as the greatest in his life. During. the three-quarters of an hour that the generalissimo of all the Allied armies ivas on his knees an humble supplication in that quiet ' church, ten thousand guns were roar- ing at his word on a hundred hills that rocked with death. Millions of armed men crouched in trenches or rushed across blood - drenched earth at his command; gen- erals and field marshals, artillery, cavalry, engineers, tanks, fought and wrought across the anap of Europe ab- solutely as he commanded them to do, and in no other manner, as he went into that little church to pray. Nor was it• an unusual thing for General Fools to do. There is no clay that he does not do the same thing if there be a church that he can reach. He never fails to spend en hour on his knees every morning that he awakes from sleep, and every night itis the same. Moreover, it is not a new thing with him. He baa done it his whole life.

The Echo de Paris publishes a tele- gram from Amsterdam on the sub- ject of the Crown Prince's sojourn at Wieringen. This is the picture given of the one-time hope of the Hohen- zollern: "The population reproach him for his stinginess in the cafes of the island, where he is trying to calm his nervousness. The Crown Prince is continually playing billiards with the landlord of the cafe and his pot - man. He is a poor player, and bears • defeat badly, while he sometimes cheats in the score." as The latest estimate is that 23,000 10anad'uan soldiers have been married 'overseas since the beginning of the 'war, end that soldllers' dependents and other Canadians In Britain out- side of the :military who desire to re- turn home number 50,000.
