POISON GAS STILL DOES DEADLY WORK Passengers in German Coaches Handed Over to France Suffer From Fontes. A despatch from Paris says: -Two 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. 97, bound far Metz, had just entered the tunnel at Nanteoil When the passengers occupying the two coaches handed over by Germany began to ezperienee trouble in breathing and strong obnoxious gases began to fill up the coaches. The passengers smashed the win - dews, but .as soon as fresh air came in contact with the gases the teaches 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 ;bile 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 im the coaches was not due to any defect in the lighting or heating ap- paratus. nor to a hot -box. The pres- ence of the obnoxious gases is still unexplained. Both coaches were con- sumed by the flames."
